    It’s a play on the joke that everybody hates living in Ohio. I have never lived there but I can confirm that everyone I’ve ever met who has been there has the same reaction

      I go there for the theme parks every once in a blue moon and literally nothing else. I’ve never seen an interesting looking town when driving through. It’s like every town is a stop outside a bigger city that isn’t there. Even the “big” cities never really feel bigger than a typical random American town.

      Of course when you’re actually there it’s not that exaggerated, but this is the vibe I get from the state. But it’s not like any of the surrounding states have wildly positive reputations to compare against. So at the end of the day, it’s just a very unremarkable state with not much to do. There are worse reputations.
