Jimmy Kimmel Lets LA Pedestrians Call New Yorkers ‘A–holes,’ ‘Rude,’ ‘Pushy,’ ‘Nasty’ (Video)

Manhattanites counter that Los Angelenos are “stuck up,” “snooty,” “shallow,” and “conceited”

Jimmy Kimmel aims to bring back the New York-Los Angeles beef if it’s the last thing he does — at least, before he takes his L.A.-based late-night show on the road to Brooklyn next week.

ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” asked men and women in both cities to describe the people of the rival urban area on the opposite coast. Generally, the cross-country opinions were not too kind. New Yorkers’ descriptions of Los Angelenos ranged from “laid back” to “conceited.”

“I see them all the time just sitting out doing nothing,” one said.

Another offered: “They tend to be a little bit more shallow, you know? New Yorkers are real. I mean, they could be real scumbags, they could be real jerks — but they’re real.”

Perhaps ironically, those on the streets of L.A. were actually meaner, calling New York City residents “assholes” and “snobby.”

“A lot of them are very nasty, they’re short, they’re rude,” one interviewee said. “It kind of goes with the city: trash on every street corner, it’s not exactly my favorite city.”
