I’m surprised that nobody caught this one sooner. As the author of the video says:
Agent Ray fails on her state abbreviations, as she thinks MA (Massachusetts) is Michigan, MN (Minnesota) is Montana, AK (Alaska) is Arkansas and MO (Montana) is Missouri. Can we really have faith in Agent Ray’s ability to uphold the law?
True story. The actor is Canadian. All the other actors got the state names right. She flub a few and I liked it. I thought it fit with Ray’s personality to be wrong about this when she was so precise about everything else. So it wasn’t intentional from the beginning, but was intentional in that we left it on purpose.
Only Americans notice that, I guess (same reason why audiences go ‘Whooh Yeah’ when their home town or state is mentioned- weird). My attention was gone after 5 states. Still, I got the joke: it is valid in every state - including whichever Thimbleweed Park (Whooh Yeah!!) is in.
That joke (the ambiguity of the state TwP is in, like with Springfield or Duckburg) would be better if Delores Hard mode flashback wouldn´t flat out say that it was Washington (unless there is a joke there that I didn´t get).
I believe there is several ways to state your adress in the flashback when you apply for the Mmucus Flem job, but I think it all comes down to Washington state.
