this is really hilarious, and as an Arabic person, I would be offended by Joe's comments if I hadn't heard him say random racist things before. lol really interesting sense of humor, no white person here (in Canada) would ever even think of making that sort of joke. And I agree with that other person, you guys should do this again and do all sorts of other accents, if you you guys ever actually start makin vids again (u should)
I feel like a bit of an idiot-I remember not being able to tell the different between an aussie and a british accent when I was younger-but now I'm finally beginning to differentiate the two. After all these years, haha.
Seattle people would say "double vanilla latte with skim milk and cinamon sprinkles" Starbucks was started and has it's corporate headquarters there....FYI...I'm the nicest person in the world (:--)
Especially when you did the Texas accent, because that's where I'm from. Though I must say, I've yet to meet someone here who actually sounds like that. xD
i love the relationship you two have, its a great brotherly bond, which is awesome. never really see brothers have such a good relationship with such a large age gap. its nice to see.
Please do not be of the misapprehension that we think we are at all accurate. In fact we are rather shockingly cack-handed, inaccurate and stereotypical in our attempts at all accents!
I love how you tried to do a Texan accent and wound up doing a "Southern Plantation" accent that's so common in Hollywood movies but almost never heard here anymore. Hank Hill from King of the Hill's much more accurate.
Good to see Joe in a vid again. I miss his videos.
haha fair enough, but i'm half chinese and i won't take offense at joking impersonation. lots of comedians use racial impersonations such as russel peters. its all casual racism, those who take it seriously should get a sense of humour!
Elena down there is my bestie. Come to Portland, and we'll buy you a pizza!
Try and get in on a Saturday or Sunday if you can; the Saturday Market ("the nation's largest open-air crafts market") runs right to the Portland waterfront, and is probably the best display of the city's culture (and if you're lucky, you can buy an authentic hobo sign right as you step off the MAX train).
VooDoo Doughnuts is nearby, as well. If you're willing to wait in line for fifteen minutes or so, you can get your hands on a fantastic Memphis Mafia, Portland Creme or Butter Fingering. We've also got a lot of museums (art museums in particular) if that's your thing, or you can take the Willamette in a Jetboat.
If you're still looking for a Seattle accent, Amy Walker is Seattle-born and has some videos up.
Portland is a city of diverse cultures. There are a million things to see, the Rose Garden, the Saturday Market, the water front, etc. The people are welcoming and friendly.
this was a fun video. for the ny accent, thanx for not making us sound too rude, as 4 dallas, i m there now and i think ur a little east. of tx. as for the seattle accent u were having too much fun, the best word to descibe seattle is meloncholy, and that comes thru in the speech. you guys have too much fun for america, we don't laugh nor do we smile. i came damn close to cracking one though will mwatching this, thanx
Thanks for the fine-tunings! Can you give me an example of the Seattle accent I can listen to? Most of my Seattle friends grew up in Anchorage and are a poor example...
i go into dallas thisw weekend, i plan on picking up a new camera, i am linked thru a sa.t link as i am really in the styx so it may be a little choppy.. i'd be glad to hough. my next contract is in seattle. so i have been there enough this year to add some insight. for ny try to google "the car guys" thry are a blast if you can find a podcast for the heavy accent alone.
tom-i have skype now---- scottie--2--hottie (named from my favorite WWE wrestler. We can do video there thru video calling.....talk to ya later mate--scott

Man this was funny, I don't really know what that French accent was, and Tom more Bayou than Texan, and what stands out in your NZ accents to me is the letter E in certain words. Damn I wish I had a video camera so I could give your accent a shot.
funny tom very funny--my boy and i were gonna do something like that in the "live from joes" american remake-with accents like you did about 'mic gamer'--but if i do it now--it will 2nd rate to yours with Joe---damn it Jim....guess we will have to spoof um.... the two of you bloakes...that should be hard but do able.....looking forward to re-writing this script--peace to you and your family again-how are the consulate visits going?
Nice Performance Guys, Frivolitom's Louisiana voice could get Him casted in the upcoming "Salton Sea" Bayou Edition. Could work well with Val Kilmer. Joes Straight Man schtick is, in My opinion, damn near ready for Prime Time. Please keep 'Em coming ....John
To blend in with the locals in Yorkshire you must exclaim....."Ow mooch?"... when buying anything. When in London you are not alone but on your Jack Jones. Cockney roymin' slang innit.
poor Joe kinda sucked :) on the other hand Tom did a pretty job although you must remember that not only is the accent a key element but also the words that are used and colloquialisms.
Lolz, I wasn't offended in this video but you dedicated a whole intro a while back to the mexican stereotype so i'm not complaining!!
i have so many questions. maybe i'll send you an email.
I did actually talk a bit about the Mexican stereotype and we discussed Speedy Gonzalez and the stereotypical penultimate-termination thing white people do when they're doing a Mexican accent. But it was almost as bad as the cut part where Joe mentioned he'd be travelling through Asia. Almost.
yea, i figured since the video lasted 10 min flat that you had to cut out a lot of stuff to fit in the "better" impression.
that reminds me, a fyear ago( maybe more) in Mexican newspapers there would appear a black gringo cartoon that was quite funny. Bush said that it's an insult to the american people. Pres. Fox said "dude you guys have had Speedy Gonzalez for years now and we never complain. that was the last time that subject was brought forth by bush.
"For the intentions of this column, I am going to assume that the sum total of all (loosely defined) terrorists worldwide, stands at 500,000. This is not a real number, and the actual figure probably hovers around 50,000"
So even if all the terrorists in the world, in the most liberal estimation of the term, all lived in the Arab Emirates, it would be less than 2% of the population.
Well, we tried to do Swiss, which apparently is halfway between German and French, but it was amazingly poor so we cut it. Also Joe's French is pretty German I think.
Next time try a Minnesota accent. Watch the movie Fargo, and you'll hear it. A lot of people were offended by that movie, and said we don't talk like that here, but I know plenty of people who do.
The Australian accent was spot on. Kinda scary accent.
Seattle thing, just kinda talk like you don't know where you are. Stretch your uhhh's and speak kinda slow. It's the Grunge culture there that makes that the norm.
Toms accents were good, Joes however needs more work, lol. The london or south east England does vary some what, but you will get way with the NZ accent there because everyone from NZ and Oz is working in the pubs. Enjoy your stay
Scarily, when Tom was doing the Aussie accent at first, he sounded EXACTLY like an Australian friend of mine at work!
Londonian accents vary across the city, but none of them sound like NZ to me... And if Joe's going up as far north as Yorkshire, he HAS to visit Scotland, even if just briefly. With a surname like his to come that close and not actually make it all the way would be just plain WRONG! :P
And yeah, sorry but your Texan was more Louisiana... XD
this is really hilarious, and as an Arabic person, I would be offended by Joe's comments if I hadn't heard him say random racist things before. lol really interesting sense of humor, no white person here (in Canada) would ever even think of making that sort of joke.
