Sh*t Native New Yorkers Say
So, you complained that “Shit New Yorkers Say” is about transplants, right? Well, here’s a custom tailored response starring an older crowd: “Shit Native New Yorkers Say.” It’s mostly ejaculatory grumblings about things that once were like subway tokens, graffiti and hookers.
Watch these stereotypes get more nostalgic about the clubs they frequented at fifteen, the station they got mugged at three times times and how they used to go see the beluga whales with their ma.
Comments? Complaints? Kudos?

Kudos. Native New Yorkers complain about everything.
definitely a whole lot better, even though this one too misses out on a lot
Hey, this is Anthony DeVito. Just for the record, Eliot and Ilana Glazer, who made Sh*t NYers Say, are friends of ours and we love their video; it’s a perfect satire of those young, spoiled New Yorkers we all love to hate. We thought it would be funny to add the perspective of the “born and raised” contingent, who have a very different experience and remember the days before hipster Brooklyn and the Disneyfication of Times Square. Native New Yorkers definitely have a certain nostalgia for when things were dirtier and more dangerous. We thought it’d be stupid and funny to go overboard in the other direction with too much cursing and references to murder victims and street crime. You know, the good old days.
So far, the response has been really positive. We had so much footage we didn't include because the video would have been an hour long! We’re happy people are getting a kick out it.
