Why do so many people complain that Arizona and Texas are the worst states to live?

I have always heard of people complaining that Arizona and Texas are the worst states to live. I mean, there was even a Family Guy episode about TX which made some knock offs, and there was a knock off line about AZ in Home Alone 2.

So anyways, why does everyone hate those states? What is so bad about them?
 
I think you're asking two questions: 1) why do people joke about these states and 2) what is it about the states that might justify the jokes.

Personally, I don't hear that many state-specific jokes, but when I lived in Texas I did hear my share of Oklahoma jokes. Most jokes I hear about a particular region now are about the South or Appalachia.

Where do you live?

One explanation for why you might hear jokes about Texas is that Texans make themselves targets by bragging about their state. And they do it a lot, about everything. George Bush didn't help the reputation of the state much either.

As for livability in Texas and Arizona, both states have good parts and bad parts. Austin, Texas in particular is a very livable city.
