Midwesterners are silly geese. It's just the rules. We love goofing around, goofing off, and goofing all through the town. We're basically a region full of dad jokers. Because Midwestern dads are the most stereotypical dads. Think of a dad in your mind. Maybe he has a mustache. Maybe he has a bit of a beer belly. Maybe he loves to man the grill and wield tongs like nobody's business. Well… that's what literally every dad looks like and acts like in the Midwest. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

So it only follows that Midwesterners would love memes. We love goofs and gags that make us laugh. Because the winters are so cold and terrible that we need funny things to get us through. We would perish if not. So that's why we come to the internet. When the wind starts to whip up and we're stuck indoors for the better part of a lifetime, we know that memes will keep us warm at night.

  • These memes celebrate the Magical Michiganders, the Illustrious Illinoisans, the Original Ohioans, the Wonderful Wisconsiners, and more. We're all part of the same Great (Lake) region, so it's only right that we celebrate each other. Sure, we have our tiffs and our differences, but ultimately we love each other and are all in it together. That's what these memes prove.
