  • "You know wat, if you don't like the way I tawk, fuk you!"

    Perfect line to start this video off. Lol

  • @Caledonia62 First off, if you wanna insult my ethnicity, insult me correctly, I'm Italian and Puerto Rican. So the word "gook" does not offend me. Second, I was born in Booth Memorial Hospital and I live/grew up in Forrest Hills.

  • So many people say its hard not to talk with the New York accent, but I can't do it right! I'm gonna be in a play an dthe director said I need to have a new york accent. But I can't do it right!

  • haha uh its 33rd and 3rd = 33rd street and 3rd avenue

  • Hey now, I'm from Queens (HEY!) but us Queenies really don't got one... we're the ones ppl can't really distinguish. When I moved to Los Angeles, ppl were like, "I expected a NY accent. What happened?" But sometimes the "haard, tawk, Staahbucks Kawfee" comes outta me from nowhere then they go, "Oh there it is!" LOL.

  • @Sonorense815 thirty third and third :D
