If you are from Utah you know how many Utah-isms there are in the show Napoleon Dynamite.

Well there is a movie that actually had more Utah-isms then Napoleon (and Napoleon even makes a camo in it)

The movie is called The Sasquatch Gang.

It was written and directed by Tim Skousen, the first assistant director on Napoleon Dynamite.

The movie was shot in Oregon, but is SO Utah that it’s not even funny. (Ok it is funny, but not Napoleon amount funny)

Some of the Utah-isms include going to the Nickelcade, using the term VL/Virgin Lips, the video store in the movie is Video Verns, and more.

It got me wondering, do people outside of Utah even know what say the Nickelcade is?

Outside of that it just made me shake my head at how sad Utah really is…

How did I even turn out somewhat normal coming from a state like Utah?

I am so glad I am out of the Utah bubble.

If you want to see how sad Utah really is, watch that movie.
