Are fans of the New York Jets really as unhinged as everyone says they are? Well, in this Saturday Night Live sketch featuring host Amy Schumer, the answer is yes.

While at a tailgate for a Jets game, Schumer and her friends (Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson, Andrew Dismukes) get a little rowdy with Buffalo Bills fans that pass by. And by rowdy I mean, throwing trash at a pregnant lady and knocking a man off his wheelchair.

The sketch is quite honestly the perfect encapsulation of what it means to be a Jets fan, and also a cautionary tale to never step foot in the state of New Jersey.
