[BadgerCheese94]

Mort

[Castilda0311]

I've lived in the Boston area for 40 years and still can't hear any differences among 'car key,' 'khaki,' and 'cocky.'

[pepinobalarin]

"I couldn't find my khakis" ? haha

[canea3474]

Whaddya think, we speak like Lois Griffin? Plus we don even have an 'accent'. its just the rest of the us thinks we have a british accent. No! you think you made a wicked video but it was retarded(no offence). It sounded more like a redneck though LOL

I was LMFAO when i heard this.

[jhkl123456]

Laughing my f*cking ass off!! hahah :D "you basterd" lol

[shakeypictures]

Are you from Rhode Island

[virtueisin]

If you try this again giving less time on the vowels sounds, you'll do the accent better. Hanging on to the vowel sound is not typical of a Massachusetts accent. You also have to get a little tougher sounding by speaking short and quick. By the way, the accent has nothing to do with class.

[allclipslineup]

sounds like lois from family guy

[crazyguy47]

sounds more like Christopher Waken

[PiloSchultz]

@danthemanfresno2006 but the fact is you cant really replicate an accent unless youve spent a significant amount of time with the people that have the accent...sure there is the other 90% of people that someone may not have heard but its gotta sound like the accent you have otherwise it wouldnt be the same accent...everyones speech has differences but it still has to have the similarities in speech patterns, tone, colloquialisms, slang and more...

[melomyman121]

its almost true my sunday teacher was from boston couldnt even ssay his last name right "pahkah" H=R

[jeenyus720]

"You bastard" Im ashamed i lold

[Glant021]

I've heard a low class mass accent, and it resides in downtown springfield mass. I know plenty of upper classers who speak with the old boston accent.

[danthemanfresno2006]

@plymouthmass1 You have no idea what every Mass accent sounds like.I did not call everyone from Mass low class.I called this specific accent low class.

[plymouthmass1]

@danthemanfresno2006 i live in mass. i travel around the state all the time. i have a taste of every accent there is. none of which even sound like this. but i know which one youre attempting to get at, and i have no idea what makes you think this is low class, seeing as how there are members of congress and state senators that have this. whatever, massachusetts is better than any state out there. if your not a new englander, you're a true dumbass.

[danthemanfresno2006]

@plymouthmass1 You are ignorant.You have heard under 5% of everyone in mass.It may even be under 1%.You are giving me your biased opinion which is fine but it is lacking tons of evidence.

[plymouthmass1]

@danthemanfresno2006 really? because i;m pretty sure i'm actually FROM mass. unlike you. you're probably from somewhere in the US that no one really cares about. and before you talk about having no facts to back things up, show me the facts that say this accent is lower class. ha, that's right. you can't.

[danthemanfresno2006]

@plymouthmass1 Being from Mass doesn't mean anything.You still have heard 5% or less of everyone speak there.You have no idea what everyone speaks like or how many accents there is from there.Calling an accent upper or lower class is my opinion.

[Aeris7]

Everything aside, I LOL'd at the "you baasterd" (for no apparent reason) at the end. XD

xxx

[axium403]

YE BESTEHD

[crankyerma]

@Hbbt82 Yup. There are tons of different accents. I mean I grew up on the south shore and I can't even attempt to pronounce the words "floor" or "door" the way they do in Fall River or New Bedford.

The thing that kills me is that I work with a lot of actors and over half of the ones that think they can do a Mass accent actually do some half-assed impression of the Kennedy accent. Nobody outside of that clan talks like that. That accent comes from generations of alcoholism and inbreeding.

[sarahhhbabiixo]

Low class? hah smd -_-

[Stimpy243]

how is our accent lower class

[Orbit915]

@Hbbt82 im from the boston area, lol. gotta work on that one a bit.

[johndetwitt]

watch JFK you will do fine

[KristenMarie9985]

Im not too happy about your idea of the boston accent being "low class" ....like, sure we have an accent and not pronouncing our R's may seem lazy or whatnot, but when you ask one of us to say "Park the car in Harvard yard" obvi the accent is going to be more recognizable, that's what the sentence was created for. But also know that sometimes we tend to put an even stronger accent on while reciting that sentence to outsiders because it geeks them out, and it's amusing to us as well as you. :)

[TheCasu305]

Well...this is not a good example of a Boston accent and it sounded far too exaggerated

[pennyparker25]

Well he is obviously NOT from Bawstin!

[rakuencallisto]

I love how "low class" was used for an accent of an entire city pretty much LOL.

Ted Kennedy had one the strongest MA/Boston accents, but was he low class?

[PrayerCoach]

I think( and I'm certain others agree)the low class accent is the region( obvious to everyone) where they add extre silables to words like can't is caihnt, dog dawg, in fact Daniel Webster began writing the dictionaty to standardize the English language because people would write words the way they pronounced them dawg for dog.

[grgemclr1992]

@danthemanfresno2006 doesn't matter how low class you get, you wouldn't find this accent in any neighborhood

[danthemanfresno2006]

@grgemclr1992 You have not heard every person in every neighborhood.I would be shocked if you had even heard 5% of the total population.When I hear some people from there say parked the car in harvard yard they sound more like this.AR words really bring out the accent for some people there.It is almost like a different accent.It compares like the differences to my California accent video.They do not sound the same but are closely related.

[danthemanfresno2006]

@dgrenon1645 It is based on how some exaggerate it.The guy who made the video response did not understand either.

You shouldn't say we either unless you have heard 100% of the population.You are just assuming how strangers speak.

[BiracialGoddess]

Hahahaha! You sound like Peter Griffin :D

[UnusualTastes]

I grew up outside of Springfield Mass, in the western part of the state. Nobody talks like that there. Literally nobody, except the very few people who move here from greater Boston. Basically, once you get west of Worcester, the number of people who sound even remotely like this tapers off dramatically so as to be about as common as say... a British accent. But then again, most people think Massachusetts consists of just greater Boston and Cape Cod, so I'm not surprised.

[HeyHeyHey8I]

@UnusualTastes 413 Spfld FTW!!! :D what you said is so, so true

[Porygonseizureman]

@UnusualTastes That is correct, all people think of with Michigan is Detroit and the UP!

[evilfoukaire]

i watched this 3 times in a row. and laughed each time. and now i'll be leaving.

[ed4409]

@danthemanfresno2006 for some reason, YT sped up the video and made it 9 seconds long. I am going to post it up again now...sorry!

[CruciatusMaximus]

You sound more like you're from New Jersey than from here. Only people born here can have the accent! xD

[xbendiistraw]

you sound like my grandpa hahah

[oMoDzZoSKo]

People born now won't have Boston accents. You'd probably hear Boston accents more often from middle-aged adults, like my father. I've lived in South Boston my whole life, always hearing the accent myself. I'd have to admit I have a slight accent just from hearing it all my life (:

[MiladyToxic]

funny....but not accurate LOL.

i lived in cambridge, MA for a year and one of my teachers had a really thick boston accent...it was awesome....he said "wicked" all the time :)

[eminemttlypwns]

LOL this is FUNNY!!!

[patdlover4eva]

im a bostonian who doesn't talk like this.

but ive met some ppl who do lol

[GasPuch62]

you should try the Michigan Accent. yes, Michigan pretty much has it's own accent

[lollipop897912]

I'm Scottish, and it sounded slightly Australian to me.

Am I the only one?

[malt8291]

lol funny guy

[indyjones328]

LOL!

[RiVa667]

Basstid

[droptheleash0]

haha

[danthemanfresno2006]

@themysticgirls This is based on how some people from Massachusetts say AR words in a different accent then how they naturally speak.I would like to get reply videos where people from Massachusetts speak naturally and then try to make their accent as exaggerated as possible so more people could hear the difference.They sound like 2 different accents to me.

[RunningWithRum]

@danthemanfresno2006 It's true most people from Massachusetts don't really have accents. Throw them in another part of the country and you'll hear it a little in certain words (usually the AR ones like quarter) but for the most part they sound like everyone else. It's only certain areas within Boston that produce the what people know as "the Boston accent."

But everyone, EVERYONE, in massachusetts says "wicked." It can't be helped.

[XGGX9384]

@RunningWithRum

Right! It can't be helped. Bon n' razed theya n' when I came to FL afta 39 yeeiz I said to a guy who wanted to meet my brotha, "You'll like him, he's a wicked nice guy." The guy said, "He's a what?"

[PupuTheClown]

ok now lets hear some Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota accents !,,lol

[Coraxuss]

I'm guessing these are the alphabets taught in Massachusetts schools.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQSTUVWXYZ

[awkwardquadrant3991]

sooo he lost his pants?

[Nzie]

Not bad, but loosen up a bit - you have the sounds okay but not the cadence.

[gloryglorybarcelona]

you couldn't find your khakis?? ROFL

[Slipknotsicz666]

lol i was sitting here and the you bastard part made me lol so hard

[EveningStar83]

lol. that's funny!!

[decimuscarrerus]

i live in mass, even in boston i dont here any 'accent'

[eagledynasty81]

@decimuscarrerus probably because you can't "here" an accent.

[Johnem0]

lol XD i know... he's boring on the ring xD, anyway... massachusetts people aren't supposed to speak similar like irish people?

[ed4409]

i'll post a vid later to show you with my accent

[Johnem0]

massachusetts = john cena (?)

[lucy007007]

i loled irl when at the the end u just went ".....u bastard..."

[Gabriella365]

Thats not a Massachusetts accent. Thats a BOSTON thats part of MASS. trust me, i know the difference!!

[SuperNumber19]

lol i sound like this but i'm offended cause of the low class situation right there.. but have a five. the endind had me laughing my ass off. lol

[lowde2000]

Many of the individual words are fairly close, but when you say them in a sentence, it is fairly exaggerated. No need to get offended, it's all in fun.

[quinnellabella]

Yes, I am very aware of how "uneducated" I sound. I even took a class to help me get rid of it, kinda like television reporters do. I gave it up. "It ain't goin' nowhere."

[quinnellabella]

funny. dant

[EogRebel73]

SAY This out Loud and you will Know " I sat there in my garage across from Harvard Yard, sipping my beer, playing my guitar when a wicked brawl started between a deer and a bear over a freaken car." Im from middle mass and we can always tell when a news reporter isn't from around New England. Its even harder to type the Rs in this comment than saying it.

[o0KeDokE3]

this is freaking hilarious! (even if not all that accurate)

[LaurenSC5]

Actually, the lower class and less educated population of Mass or the greater boston area do have a higher percentage of and stronger accents than the upper class and more educated.

[TropicanaLama]

Boston accent sound a bit like British St. Helens accent :\

[redeemTheRupture]

absolutely not.

[maybrook1]

too nasally, try again

[joudodo]

that is just awful hahaha, but funny...you basted

[zacharybrown2003]

you dont have the accent. I can tell this because im from Springfield, MA but hey this is funny to watch. if you want to hear a true new england accent type in G.G. Allin interviews...hes weird, yes i know...but he has the true new england accent.

[UNCfan102]

How about an Appalachian hillbilly accent? I've heard that's the closest thing we have to what the colonists probably sounded like.

[kimmiem231]

hahahah i'm from MA and i have heard people talk like this but if i may add people with true boston accents say ahh alot in between words and you don't have to keep saying words with ar in them lol

[jackette55]

He could be doing the accent right but he doesn't sound like he's using his natural tone of voice. It sounds like he's forcing himself into a higher register and pushing it out his nose like he's doing cartoon voice over work.

[oldCARS101]

i agree with cgshrimp

[Tayna28]

i live near the boston area but i am not even close to sounding like that....i pronouce my r's...not stretched out liek like that tho, its hard for me to talk like in the video, :/

[queenCait08]

alright.. not Everyone in MA sounds like theyre from Boston.. and not everyone from boston sounds like that. hmmph.

[LOBEZMr]

that's kinda pushing it even the heavy accent.. i mean u got the right idea just don't force it too much

[MustNotRead]

laaaaaaawl! you're one funny dude. your accents suck so hard but they're funny.

[Rhinoghost2]

hahahahaha wtf!

[Gabriella365]

lol that's a Boston accent. Trust me. I live in Salem and NO ONE speaks like that except my mom :)

[amgceg]

Um, well, lets see...There's the heavy boston accent...then there's the more mild...then there's the plain normal accent....(i dont know what you'd call it...)

[Brizzle909]

yea lol i only say pop and clicker i dont say remote cause it sounds funny

[beebo02]

that's clicka

[amgceg]

okay then...Yea, I live in Massachusetts...sooooooo i'm surrounded with ppl saying "pak the ca in havad yad" alllllll the time! lol...i'm from western mass, so i dont have the boston accent...but everyone else does!! another thing everyone says here is "wicked" and yes, "bastard" good way to end it! luv that....

[amgceg]

yea, mass is like that....but ur voice is a little...mmm...doesn't fit it well, i should say...NO OFFENCE INTENDED DUDE!!!!

[Brizzle909]

Do a michigan accent and send it too me! Whenever im down south everyone says i talk funny

[macthecomedian]

i bet i could if you heard me, you wouldnt know i wasnt from there. but in all honesty, i was born and raised in so cal.

[Underdog263]

The Bostonian accent sounds to forced when it's immitated. I was born and raised in Cambridge ,Massachusetts Matt Damon and Ben Affleck went to the Cambridge Rindge & Latin school with my brother, in those days thier Boston accents were much more deep of course.

[johnboy42008]

kind of the ahh in car is a little longer I suppose its more like cahhh keys

[ERYInTrance]

HAHAHA.

[radiobath]

Seth McFarlane is from Rhode Island, and had a lot of family in Massachusetts. He knows how to imitate the accent simply because he was immersed in it.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are both from Boston. Both of their accents suck. After being conditioned to "drop" it, they can't properly imitate it anymore. The girl in the Departed--hell, even Leonardo DiCaprio--was much better.

The "ah" is a little more rounded, like "aw", unless followed with an I, like "Yeahr, it's cool."

[jobfromdayone]

Thank God I'm easily amused.

[counterkilla92893]

caaa!!!

[caramellokoala84]

ROFL! i like how the 'you bastard' was chucked in at the end there

[sophasoph]

omg I KNOW!! hahahahaha!

[XGGX9384]

@caramellokoala84 lol! He did, he sounded like he was talking through his nose. Who talks like that? I'm from MA, no one I ever heard, say care-keys, and bear-stid.

[talk57]

In that sceene, they Ben Affleck was being a wise ass, because they were in a Havard Bar and they were trying to act like a bunch of Rich kids, he's playing a character in a character at that moment,

You should really watch "the departed" with Jack Nickleson,Damon, Leo DiCaprio and Walberg, all excellent examples... and all those characters are from the same neighborhood in Boston so you'll be able to nail it

[talk57]

Not bad for a first try, you should look up local boston slang and try to weave it into the story, if you were going for a bit lower on the social economic ladder, you would have said, "I had some wicked good beeah" instead of larger.
