It depends - if you get lost up in the bowels of cajun country near Lafayette, or up in North Louisiana (lower Arkansas) its like being in the Waterboy and Deliverance, respectively.
Life in New Orleans is "normal" I guess. I've never lived anywhere else, so I wouldn't know. We like to have fun, and find a way to make everything fun. That's probably the biggest difference. We've got festivals every weekend of the year.
And Mardi Gras is NOT like what you see on TV. Burbon St. is only a small part of the fun. Most of the city's residents don't do that scene too much - its touristy. Mardi Gras is about royalty and balls and parades and being with family and friends. Not ending up on the cover of Girls Gone Wild
