Throwing a Party in the Most Boring Town in America

First. Also, make sure to subscribe y'all!!

When everyone in the whole city is at the party you can’t get any noise complaints

Ok but imagine living in this town for like 20 years, then all of a sudden 3 dudes show up, throw the best party you've ever attended, and then just left.

Me and my friends just visited the town.... Ppl still talk about that party. Everyone so friendly. This is my first connection with the YES THEORY family.

"He is actually a stripper". LOL. This is no way a boring town. That level of humor, openness and generosity is so precious!

"We need to find someone called Emma" just shows how small the town is and how familiar everyone is there

As a gay man from a very rural community in Ohio, I can say I have experienced zero homophobia here. I've only experienced hate in so-called diverse inclusive cities. The world over this holds true for me and this even includes middle eastern nations that most would call homophobic.

I love how this seems like a sidequest in a game, like everyone goes "Ya gotta talk to Carl down at the grocery" and then Carl goes "Nah i sold the wares so ya gotta talk to Fred at the barn"

When I was walking across the United States I ended up in a little town of like 600 something people and within a few hours the newspaper wanted to do a story on me. I carried the original paper copy around for years . Wish I still had it

Just them gathering random locals as they go on their quest is the most comedic thing 😂

Emma, explaining things at the end was so heart touching and I felt each and every single word she said . Bless her soul and everyone in that town

Tipsy-ish at a friend's house in Minnesota, threw a dart at a spinning globe, actually landed on Hawaii, laughed it off (Who could even afford it??? The absurdity) went on with my night. Could.. not.. shake.. it...the next arctic winter and subsequent boredom drove me to the brink, packed up the scraps of life, kissed a bf goodbye, dropped down in Hawaii with $200 in my pocket, (*do not* recommend this partcular budget) still here 15 years later doing makeup for TV/Film. Will replicate soon, but call best out of [ad infinitum] if the dart lands anywhere I've already been...

It's wonderful to hear Emma speak to the young generation about the benefits of living and working in small community. She truly is the influencer

imagine if this becomes a town tradition to throw a big party every year

I love this in EVERY way. The ending narrative is perfect. We all need to be the action of what we want the world to be. It always starts with one passionate person.

Mission accomplished. Just checked the 2023 town rankings on Google and Mankato is no longer on it. No doubt thanks to the good people at Yes Theory. In all seriousness, thanks to the entire "Yes Theory" content creation team for putting out such high quality positive energy for the rest of the world to consume. I love the message and the idea of stepping outside one's comfort zone. It's an amazing world out there, and it's an amazing time to be alive.

I didn't think the town was boring. It was quiet and worked at its own pace. The community seemed really open minded and welcoming to anyone outside looking in. Seemed like really good folk.

This has got to be my most favorite video of Yes Theory. My gosh, it is so wholesome and touching I love every single part of it. You just earn your subscribe and likes, Mr. Keep up spreading good news!

Being from a small "boring" town myself, I want to thank you young men for showing that we can also be very fun!

A party where you can say "the cops are here" with a smile and excitement.

"Don't wait for someone else to create the environment you crave"- incredibly wise and powerful lesson- thank you

How beautiful for the entire town to show up. Even the Sherriff. It's sad how much the world has lost through modernity. In the old days, communities would gather from time to time for dances, celebrations etc and so people would not feel so disconnected. Native Americans still have such functions. Jane Austen described those regular dances for the entire village where Mr. Darcy would not be bothered...When Thomas when to Cameroon, these villagers in the evening gathered to dance around the fire. I think that's partly why people go for concerts, football games, attend church, etc...just for a sense of community or belonging. But, it's not the same.

You know you're in a small town if _everyone_ knows why you're there within like 30 minutes of you arriving 😂 Sometimes even before that.
It's such a surreal thing to experience having lived in a city all my life.
It's kinda unfair how small towns get a reputation of being super close minded and hateful.
Because it 100% depends on the town or city. I've been in big cities with really closeminded people, and small towns with the most loving and caring people I've ever met.

This one was just plain surprising and I smiled through the entire video. If I should ever be ANYWHERE near Mankato, I’ll be stopping in to say hello, have a bite to eat, have a drink in a barn and maybe leave with a different hair color! Excellent video guys 🌈✨

As someone FROM Kansas City -> D.C. I cannot thank you enough for giving such a positive look into small town life and the positivity and community that can be found there ❤️ Also, the pink hair is totally a Kansas thing 🤣

Did all these people just leave their jobs and walk around town to plan a party ?

I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this video, if I was going to enjoy it or not. I literally couldn't stop smiling the entire time, kudos to you guys.

As a person from a super small town in Kansas (800 people) this is so relatable and hilarious.

This is the most wholesome thing. I love how everyone they meet knows someone else who can help even more and tags along with them. Subbed just for that

As someone who has moved from a decent sized tourist-genic dutch town on lake michigan too a rural retirement cow town in Mississippi I appreciate that you are showing some of mundane america which almost always gets overlooked

The chain this town formed to help hold a party proves it ain't a boring town at all. Lovely people

The whole town probably have a groupchat

my experience in a small town was sadly in a past sundown town, so i didn’t get this warmth and generosity they got. i’m so glad there are small country towns out there in the US that provide the hospitality that shows what the US is all about

As someone from a small town, in Texas I am very happy to see this video :] it makes me glad to see a small town with such welcoming people

small town living is really just different and can be very wholesome. Moved bak to my small town city as well because its less stressful and feels more like home.
Watching your guys videos is always very wholesome and restores my faith in humanity, even if its just small stuff like this.

I’ve lived in the same small, Midwest town all my life and I’m here to tell you there’s nothing like a small town! It may be on the “most boring” list of some newspaper, but those city slickers don’t know what’s up😂

They should make this a series and like go to the “most boring town” in every state

As a small town midwesterner I LOVE this so much. Thank you for such accurate and loving representation.

You guys have such a great attitude about life and people! So inspiring. I'm a grouchy old curmudgeon, and your videos are making me less curmudgeonly! I might actually go out and seek some social interaction this month!

I'm so glad I found this channel a few days ago. I've legit been binge watching. I haven't laughed this hard in a really long time. Thank you for making such awesome content!

I’m from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I’ve been to a lot of towns like this one. Seeing these guys be so astonished at a town that seems very familiar to me feels kinda strange and amusing, TBH.

I was born and raised near Los Angeles, so definitely a VERY highly populated area. I've driven across the country and through the Midwest several times now, and have been to some extremely small towns with populations under 1000. Never before have I had such genuine and friendly interactions with complete strangers... Everyone knows everyone, and they are all willing to drop everything to help someone they've only just met, the hospitality is unmatched, they make you feel like you belong.
A few years ago, my boyfriend's uncle decided to make the big move from Fresno, CA to a very small town in southern Kansas, and we decided to travel with him. We arrived late at night, and were shocked that the only gas station in town had two ancient pumps and was closed until morning. There was only one small family market for food, and one church. It was my first time being somewhere that isolated, so it was quite a shock. First thing in the morning, we were unloading the moving truck, and I about had a mini heart attack when I turned around to see that the local mailman had followed me into the garage looking to welcome us all to town! He knew absolutely everyone and treated us like we'd been there forever!

The fact that they’re just like “oh yeah, let’s call James” and it’s just randomly the guys cousin and like 12 people are waking with them to talk to people. I love small towns 😂😂

17:10 I like how the sheriff in this tiny town put on -- and loaded up -- his vest just for his cameo appearance.

This is EPIC!!! I'm only 10 minutes in and I love the energy, the town was so on board and willing to help out! Talk about teamwork make the dream work right? =D also I had to subscribe! This is an amazing idea and after this I'll see if you guys have done more of this type of video! Keep up the good work!

This whole episode made me smile and sob a little too, emotional. Gracias!

I grew up in a small town in the Midwest and traveled for work. Favorite part of my job was stopping at all the tiny towns along the way. Some of the nicest people and best food you will find. Big cities you are just another person, small places you're like a guest.

Don't wait for someone else to create the environment that you crave, and those you meet can easily become friends for life. Hits hard

Its so adorable and wholesome that the town journalist went out of his way to find them so he could write an article about them.

This has got to be the most original and creative idea Ive come across on Clip-Share.

I laughed so hard when the newspaper guy showed up, it was so wholesome

Can we get monthly videos like this? Love this, it’s basically everything I’ve always wanted to be a part of since I was old enough to have my own car at 16. Making folks smile and enjoying life together!

Is it normal if im bawling my eyes out n crying tears of joy watching this 🥺🥺❤️❤️

I now live in Mankato, and though it is SMALL and a little boring at times, it is very homey and a nice place to live.
I'm so bummed we missed this party. They should totally come back and do it again!! 😆

Ammar: “ The cops are here”
Lady: “ He’s actually a stripper”
Sheriff: “ HAHAHAHAH”
20:18 I’m dead 😂

imagine being the one person in the town that missed the party and read about it in the local paper

Interactions like this is what this world needs. Thank you. 👍

the dog made my heart smile so big

This reminds me of my hometown. Had parties like this for the kids all the time. Flyover states are home to good people

wow i really want to visit this town with my friends now- most of us are queer and it’s nice to hear about a southern town that’s very accepting! like Ammar said, it really does challenge your preconceived notions of people (and especially for me) the south

Three tourists come into the town
Newspaper guy: i wanna do an interview with you guys

As someone who lives in a relatively small US town, this perfectly represents how these towns operate and accept people

Y'all really know how to make the best of everything. So great🎉

13:13
Thank you sir, for pointing out this truth. Small town/rural America seems to frequently get this default label of closed minded, racist, unaccepting, and many other similar terms. We're not those things, most people in small towns are kind and giving. They have a live amd let live mentality and will usually do anything they can to help anyone who needs it.

I hope they turn this into a yearly party for the town

This is so entertaining. The parade of people walking with them hahahah

im pretty sure the whole town was like "we should do this more often"

It's so crazy to see the cops show up not to break it up, but to party themselves!

I’m from a town with 900 people and it’s so funny to see how crazy boring they think it all looks when this is like every day life for me, now I’m wondering what life would be like in a big city

Love your generous spirit guys.

You guys gotta go to Hanksville Utah and do this!! The community is so loving and connected with a population of less than 300. It’s surrounded by countless mesmerizing locations and national parks. Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch even hid out after heists just a few miles away, it would be an amazing video for a spontaneous trip!

Imagine you had to live among only 750 people for the rest of your life. The good looking ones get snatched up fast straight out of high school, and all youd have left to choose from is Timmy who just got out of prison for insurance fraud for the 3rd time, Mike the guy who spends every dollar prepping and training for various doomsday scenarios, and Jack who drunkenly had sex with his first cousin in 11th grade and has spent most of the last 10 years trying to make everyone forget that ever happened.

I personally feel like this party was more meaningful and fun than other parties that Yes Theory threw in LA or other places. Loved this episode!!!
This should become a series where Yes Theory organizes parties in towns that no one has ever heard of or very remote towns.

Seriously this channel is amazing, i love what you do, i wish that this is what i would do after i get a bit older.

I grew up in smaller towns in the midwest and had the notion that they were boring. Being an adult and moving back to Kansas I just have such an appreciation that I didn't allow for myself when I was younger. This video did such an amazing job at showing the beauty in the little things, thank you from a Kansan 🥰🌟

It’s so friendly and awesome! 👍👍👍

that actually seemed like a lovely time for everyone

I’m for Australia and iv spent a bit of time in small towns in the US and can confirm some of the best times in my life has been there

I love how they’re just like “what about James” and they all know who James is without even having to mention a last name or the street he lives on

If only you guys had come during track season and come to a track meet. That would have been awesome.

You guys are rock stars. Thank you for always putting a smile o my face❤

I can’t deal with how much joy this brought me.

This is a great video. It totally made me want to move to a small town where everyone knows everyone. They all seems super happy and nice and their community is wonderful. My boyfriend and I are now wondering where we will go after he is done with college, and now we know to not only think of the big flashy cities, but of all the small towns in between. We both want to build a community, and your message at the end has further inspired us to do so. Perhaps one day we will find a small town like this, but regardless of where we go, we have decided to make it an adventure as you guys do!

loved this one they should party more often 🤣😍

These guys invited unknown people in the most boring city to a party and a whole lot of them came, but when I invite my well known friends to my party, nobody comes.
:(

America needs to see more stories like this. Imagine if our bigger towns and cities were more like this one 💥

I love how this seems like one of those stories where the group of protas goes to a small town and it's like that, the guy from the newspaper, the townspeople who know of their presence there and the little missions where you go and talk With several people lol

YOU GUYS ALWAYS MAKE ME CRY, DAMN IT. I am a new subscriber but the vibes are immaculate. When Amar was saying he was scared of being judged man ugh that hurt so bad! No one should feel that way. So glad everyone is hospitable and welcoming.

Man whenever, I see a fun video with traveling involved right before the pandemic, I die a little inside.

This will forever be the best YesTheory video! The memories watching this

you know it’s a small town when they say “what about james” and they all instantly know who they were taking about

There are some kind hearted and hearty hard working people all across this country, especially in rural areas.

I love you guys. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You have great hearts and dispositions. I wish more young adults had your attitudes and boldness. Keep it up and stay true to yourselves. IT’s people like you that make America great.

I live in one of those small towns and watching this really reminds me why I am who I am and why I love where I'm from. My home. You have no idea what you did for that tiny town by bringing your shenanigans and RECIPROCATING all the love they shared with you. What awesome people you guys are. Not to mention what you've done for me watching this. There aren't enough words but I'm sending you all big fat cyber HUGS. Lol if you ever wanna do this thing again I know just the place! Lots of great local music too ;D

This is the video that got me to sub to you guys and imho it's still your best one yet! Would love a part 2!

idk if you guys even read comments anymore especially on videos this old but this video is very emotional for me, I fondly remember living in a town this small not far from this and this video makes me yearn for that energy again

i love how the newspaper guy just rolls up saying he was looking for them and they haven't even been in the town for an hour

You can be in the largest city with the largest population and be bored to tears, or… Love your series. I can count the number of videos on a hand and a half that put a smile on my face. I caught myself with a big smile on my face watching this. I’d also like to try the hallucinogenic honey if you have any to spare.

Funny how this is so exciting for them and I lived in these type of towns majority of my life and couldn't move fast enough

I know this is 2 years ago I'm watching this now. But right now there are probably people in that town who are still looking back on that day on that day saying thank you. You guys are amazing I wish one day I had the financial financial way to do the same thing.
