So often misrepresented is Kansas in our movies and television. Depicted as slow talking slack jawed hopeless farmers or bitter God fearing types. Although I can't exactly disagree on that issue, I can disagree on how they presume our accents to sound.

And like any good argument on the issue I forget what I was disagreeing with and go off on a completely different tangent for 80% of this video. Good enough for Youtube.

  • Lol dude...your hair its soo....up.

    No but dude, I'm from Kansas too and I couldnt agree more...I get so tired of OZ jokes....XD

    "Guess your not in Kansas anymore huh?"

    .....when will this joke be publiclly accepted as not funny? XD

  • @ericbiscut

    It's not. However it is literally the only thing most people know about Kansas, so that's what the mind immediately jumps to.

  • What? O_o you lost me afte rlike 2 minutes O_O I think I am a little scared of you now O_O

  • I lost me after 2 minutes, so don't worry about it.

  • Are you scared of yourself too?

  • Sometimes in the morning when I'm in my bathroom naked in front of the mirror-er no never.

  • Thank-you for making the statement that Kansans do not talk like rednecks. -A- I can't tell you how many Oz and farmer jokes I got when I found out I was moving there.

  • i enjoyed the video very much, I was very interested in learning about the different accents of America and your video is very beneficial

  • OMG You remind me of my teacher Mr Budy!! but with spikier hair!! and just as scary!!! lol

  • shut up man enough with the fucking noise

  • *meow*

    Shut up cat!

    XD:

  • Is there that much of a difference in accents between Minnesotans and Kansans? I'm from Kansas myself and have come to the conclusion that my accent is probably as neutral as it could possibly get. The only thing I have notice is pen is more of a "pin" and "get" is more of a "git". But there is absolutely no southern twang to it.

  • Soo...this is totally a normal midwestern "accent" but you talk like such a goofball it is hard to really relate to it. Haha!! No offense though!! Just a lot of personality in your speech.

  • i find it so interesting that while every region in the U.S seems to have its own "dialect" its own colloquial terms, and its own distinctive accent and you find so many people that come out of places like Georgia Texas, Chicago, NewYork, that have indistinguishable universal accents...cool:)-

  • @chris72888 I think he's reading something, he's not just not staring at us. I think.

  • woohoo! go midwesterners

  • and are more likely to talk like a ninja turtle *facepalm*
