Tennessee accent.AVI

[theReelfootcat]

you can really tell the difference between my West Tennessee accent and the East Tennessee

[ilovetoeatrice]

if ur trekking through the country and you see his house in the middle of nowhere, don't stop for pie.

[reviver96]

I love being Tennessean!

[kingboyblack]

@reviver96 Me too lol

[hprox93]

I was born in TN but raised in New York. so idk if I have a TN accent or NY accent.

[2agray]

@hprox93 You probably have a NY accent. It's easier to lose the southern accent than it is a northern accent.

[volfan911]

as a rural tennessean, i can tell he's exaggerating a bit. he made a point to comment about his accent sounding like larry the cable guy, so he's really trying to put on for the crowd. no doubt the guy talks something like that in normal conversation, but probably not as exaggerated. he sounds a little too much like larry the cable guy - whose accent is very exaggerated, by the way, and isn't appalachian for that matter.

[2agray]

@volfan911 Yeah I agree it's exaggerated but now mountain people do talk like that. There are some parts of the mountain I can't even understand them. They mumble.

[VickiBabyx]

I've fallen in love with this accent I want it xxx

[amazingdany]

Are the soft drinks his?

[2agray]

@amazingdany of course in TN you don't say soft drinks. Everything is a "Coke." "Get me a coke while you're in there." What kind do you want? "Sprite."

[ready2escape]

It's kinda hard to speak with a tennessee accent when you are in tennessee-at that point you are just speaking. I use to work in a restaurant in Sevierville and when the tourists would come in they would ask me all sorts of stereotypical questions and tell me how 'weird' my accent was...I'd just look at them and say "We're in the south....I aint got no accent. You do and your accent is weird" LMAO

[2agray]

@ready2escape I know. We get made fun of a lot. I was in Florida once eating a Cracker Barrell and the waitress asked me where I was from because of my TN accent. LOL. I get that a lot on the phone too, "Where in the world are you calling from?" And that's trying to clean the accent up. LOL

[2agray]

Now THAT is an honest to God TN mountain accent. I hear that every day of my life. Now the valley accent is less twangy and more full of "uh's" at the end of words.

texan shay carl

[TheBogdan33]

[hopplacowboy]

@nadal5001 its hard to come across these days :(

[mimi102239]

@HeLovesCulture lmao... I hope to go to west Tennessee business college when I finish high school:-D

[TheSoutherngirl92]

Not all the people in Tennessee sound like this. Some people such as this guy has more of a draw to his accent. Most TN people just shorten words and create their own words but the actual accent is not obtained by everyone!

[ChristyLeeannXD]

Some people talk like this..

Most don't(:

And, I'm FROM East Tennessee, the countrier part of east tennessee. (yes, theres cities here.)

[iamCateyhola]

"TOW-MATER!"

[xDEADLOCKEDx2468]

Now I wanna have an accent like that.

Confound my Asian accent!

[vidfreak32]

i'm ashamed to be from tennessee sometimes....

[denidesu]

@vidfreak32 Why? I find him very sympathic.

[Popmax79]

wow they do sound like that

[Popmax79]

wow



[MichaelJacksonFan000]

Tennessee accent - strongest American accent?

[mimi102239]

thats that tennessee accent..im from jackson T.N and thats what some of um sound like mostly in east tennessee they sound like this he says critters and yee and all that havnt heard them words in a while but its funny to here him talk

[tyronehuff]

"THAT'S WHAT I JUST TOLD YEE!!!" haha I've lived just outside of Knoxville my whole life and I'm still amazed when I hear people with this much of an accent. It's definitely reserved for the folks that live a good drive from civilization, although you do have your occaional exceptions.

[Cheeriko]

Impressive. I've always lived in East Tennessee but in the city/major suburbs you very rarely hear people talk like this guy. I have noticed that a lot of us city people seem to miraculously grow accents when we join our country brethren outside the city limits though.

[XxJustinBieberHA]

I'm from the south. I'm actually from Tennessee..lol to me he doesn't really sound like he has an accent bcuz I'm used to it. But I guess he does to yall. Lol

[TheFiestyhick]

@XxJustinBieberHA --hahaha...u don't hear an accent....lol...he's got one hell of one...lol

[tnrebel077]

im frum tennessee from these here mountains aint nun like the south

[182SheSaid]

@tnrebel077 "these here mountains" "nun like the south" AHHH nice!!!! <33

[oceanviewkid]

yellow belly? :D

[xxMarz456xx]

cracker hay-ED!!

[derekblank]

Southerns absolutely love referencing the law to qualify objective statements.

[xBloodXGusherx]

Sounds just like Larry The Cable Guy Looo.

[MikkeyDeeDrumSoloFTW]

Haha 'critters'. LOVE IT!

[onemondaynight]

His accent is real, but he is putting it on thick for showmanship. I'm from Georgia (different accent) and how much of an accent I have depends on who I'm talking too (and how much I've been drinking).

[EastTNson]

@onemondaynight I agree with you. I'm from East TN. We do have the strongest accent in the state, but he's puttin' it on a little thick for the yankees and outsiders. All in fun though.

[TheFiestyhick]

@EastTNson --yes, I agree with u. He wants to charm all them folks for a good tip at the end cuz he knows the tourists eat that up...lol

[MrDatbrownboy]

and for the record we dont all say critter like this douche.

[X0X0KE814]

@MrDatbrownboy SAME THING I WAS THIKING! I'm from the Tri-Cities (about an hour away from there) and I don't even know what a critter is..like an animal? Wow.

[MrDatbrownboy]

oliver springs TN for life!

[trudypsmith]

Well, he sounds Right normal to me!

[troutslayer52101]

I'm from Mississippi and lived in Iowa, then Tennessee and Florida and now back in the northeast part of Iowa where there's a lot of Norwegian influence. My accent still has a lot of southern in it and folk up around here pickit up and ask where I'm from...but funny thing is, whenever I go back 'n visit old friends, it only takes a beer or two and I'm back to 100% southern! Southern AND Proud!

[and12387]

i sound nothing like this and i only know one who does sound like this. he does sound just like larry the cable guy so thats cool.

[MrFlyingZebras]

Funny thing is I have lived in tennesse my whole life and I don't have this accent. I live close to this area of tenneese too.

[iwantpk2]

He looks like a man that would LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

[SamFrederiksen]

I have a very close friend in Nashville and he never really has an accent but sometimes he eases it in, on single words. However, I like the accent in this video. It's downright adorable. I have a thing for southerners anyway. It's rather sad.

[samanthathebrooke]

I'm from tennessee!

[caitlinbethgiles]

TENNESSEE ACCENTS ARE AWESOME

[carrieannamae]

This is my cousin Tommy Pruitt! He's my neighbor. We all live down the holler in Rockford. And yes ma'am (or sir) he works in Cades Cove he does the horses and hay rides. And yes, we all talk like that down here. Well, most of us :) But ain't we cute?

[n2tech07]
