When you hail from Colorado, you are used to hearing the same lame stereotypes all the time, but when people begin trying to make poor attempts at jokes based on these stereotypes? Then you’ve just gone too far, bucko. Want to avoid making your favorite Coloradan Hulk angry? Steer away from making any of the following 7 types of jokes about Colorado.
1. Weed.
OMG we get it... yes, recreational marijuana is legal here in the big CO, but guess what? Medical marijuana is legal in almost every other state and recreational is just behind it, so your 5-year-old joke just isn't funny anymore!
2. Broncos.
The Broncos sucked last season. There, I said it. Do you know what the difference is between me saying it and some out-of-stater saying it? I still love my boys in orange and blue, so my complaining is merely a pep talk to both the team and me.
3. Speaking of the Broncos, John Elway and Peyton Manning are not Horseface, okay?!
I mean, sure; Elway screwed the pooch by allowing Vance Joseph to stay on another year, but other than that mistake, these men are SAINTS.
4. Driving.
As a native Coloradan, I can vouch for the fact that we were taught to drive in a very different and unique way (i.e. green means go, yellow means go, and red means you have another 10 seconds to gun it before you have to stop), so therefore it isn't really even our fault.
5. Dogs.
Do not under any circumstances EVER make a joke about our best friend... you can say whatever you want about our moms, but the minute you speak negatively about Fido, we have a problem.
6. Being outside all the time.
"Geez, it's the weekend... just sit back and rest, why dontcha?" Well, northerner (I'm assuming since I just randomly typed "dontcha"); life is too short to just sit inside while the beautiful weather passes us by!
7. Beer.
Call us beer snobs, but at least we know what good hops are (and they do not come in the form of nationally-known domestic brands).
