One day, when he snaps, you’ll find him like this at your local McDonald’s talking his Fieri talk about chicken nugget dip flavors.

I just heard this bit about Guy Fieri recently and LMAO. This is one of my favorite new comics. NSFW language (unedited tbs):

He’s such a slow talker, but it’s all true. I don’t get it, either, aside from the generalized hate all Californians get outside the state for no reason I can actually identify.

In Alabama, that accent and cadence is pretty normal “middle class friendly” (my term). But you can tell some people definitely play it up a bit for entertainment’s sake. Usually it’s overdone to the redneck side (Jeff Foxworthy, who actually is really articulate).

Most of us sound more like Rutledge Wood, as an example.

Curious. I’ll admit that I don’t really know anyone from that part of the country, so it sounds unusually slow and foreign (kind of like Washingtonians did when I first moved here, although I think I’ve picked it up).

I looked up some Rutledge Wood videos and his speed/style isn’t so ridiculously slow, although he has more of an accent.

You mean you never watched TGUSA?! :P

Yeah, people don’t really speak that slowly here, it’s more of a myth — we’re pretty close to most of the US in speed, but not accent. But I can spot a Northeasterner stumbling rapidly over his trucated words a mile away. They think everyone speaks slowly!

I have a couple friends here from WA and they speak in a pretty neutral accent, just like a lot Western Canadians I’ve met (many of who don’t sound very “Canadian” in the stereotypical sense).

No, I have not.

Don’t worry, we dislike them as much as you do.

Western Washington and coastal BC are almost identical in accent, much like Minnesota and Manitoba are exceptionally similar. If you want a good laugh, write out sentences containing “bag” and/or “tag”, then ask them to read it to you. Also “pasta”, which is the best way to split the two - people from WA will pronounce it like you’re probably expecting, while Canadians do something very strange to it (you’ll have to see). There are others, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head right now.

“Bag” and “tag” are also quite entertaining.
