This reminds me of Quinn from Jaws.
My mother was Orange Queen in the 50’s. I am so glad I left.
Reminds me of a Newfoundland accent.
Watch it @ 2x
That piano needs tuning. Or just thrown away.
keeps his stash in his socks, fixed his socks and shoes a few times. zipper pockets!
He is the Lord of the Neighborhood. He’s eloquent when he explains why the cameras are there, and is an excellent facilitator. He know how to keep the conversation going. Oh dang, he just said the N-word. wow. In this case, pretty sure he has a slur for every Johnny or Jane on the street. Lisa Lisa! omg. I love that this guy was going up to Amherst to see a freestyle show. The haiyahhh 👩🎤
Guess Jeans 60 bucks!
@5:30 he said "Oil? More Oil than the Arabs" 😂😂
Girls in the 1980s were HOTTER than now.... Maybe it was the hair, fashion, or the image of Sweetness and purity. Too bad it doesn't exist in 2024....... the world would be a cooler place
The guy in white was my neighbor. He was always pulling a con on somebody. Talked a good game, and played a mean game of pool. I miss his goofiness !
July 6 2024 who's here holla at me
Sounds a bit Cornish / Cornwall England
When this was filmed: The fuck is this for anyway? Your own personal research? 2024: This film is an important artifact and must be preserved at all costs.
What the f is a gumband
sounds a little bit like Newfoundland.
That's fascinating, I had no idea an accent like this existed in my country. If you'd ask me where this was beforehand I would've guessed some obscure part of west country.
Please tell me they still talk like this
8:35 We should be encouraging our community to strive. Every group in America has come to America with the goal of becoming middle class. So why should we suddenly be the only group that identifies becoming middle class as this nasty word called "bougie-ness"? I think it's almost a reverse Black brainwashing -that somehow attaining success means losing your roots. Well said. Ase' O
George Casper Homans was my grandfather's cousins and the two are first cousins and I love hearing them talk about The Glades and Aunt Fanny who my mother Lucy Aldrich Homans adored. Unfortunately her father, Robert Homans Sr., committed suicide after his time in the Pacific during WWII. Listening to them makes me feel like this is how my grandfather's voice would have sounded like. I've always wished I'd had the chance to get to know him.
The fact i can't hear an accent is terrifying
She’s an amazing woman
God those dudes with the Hawaiian shirts might as well have douchebag written on their foreheads
Sounds a lot like the Okracoke accent, which is somewhere nearby and makes sense. They both seem to be descended from a historical English accent from the 17th and 18th century
What accent does the narrator have? It’s so soothing and relaxing.
At the end when they give George the presentation lines (the national endowment..etc) I know what he was going through when all of a sudden one is told to "say this...." and not even shown it on paper. He did quite well! Make note, producers.
"IVE LIVED WITH A FAKE ACCENT ALL MY LIFE" these two in this video
Sounds like a 🪕
I find it absolutely fascinating that he glottalises the t in "bottle" at 25:28 like a Londoner I've literally never heard another American do that.
our Amish. Fuck yeah.
As a black New Orleans native people ask if me and my father were from New York or Boston. Hell, people asked my mother if she's from the Caribbean
Traitors to their class.
Hey Where WILL SMITH at.....Makin babies all day...
Aaa 1 2 Aaa1 2 check check it out yall
I'm just a random 28-year-old black guy from Tennessee but I think the yat accent is easily the coolest accent in the united states. So if you speak that dialect you are super cool to me.
The 'oh' sound is very sw England
They could almost be from Bristol, SW England. Almost
Dude in the glasses and pink shirt is closeted gay
With the advent of mass media, the Internet, and social media, regional cultures are dying out and the country has become more homogeneous and is growing more and more homogenized every day. Counterintuitively, it seems as though the more homogeneous we have become, the more divided we have become.
My cousin is just like this guy and he’s from Boston too
Where's the audio?
“Ay Tone.. did you say wooden doors?”
Reminds me a lot of the North Carolina outter banks accent I need to see how close this is to that region
They say this is the closest to what the original colonists sounded like. Sounds strange on the outset but British accents have evolved quite a bit from 1607 when the first brits came to America. a couple hundred years before that and you wouldn't even recognize English as English. I believe it wasn't til about Shakespeare That English would be recognizable to the modern English speaker. I might be a little off but it would have been 1500s at the earliest. The modern English accent in England is non Rhotic (in the word Hard they would pronounce it Hahd.) But England used to have a more Rhotic accent like most Americans. I am not a linguist; this is just stuff I have read but I find it fascinating.
I think they sounded far more intelligent than this.
This is probably what people in the 16th and 17th century sound like. Interesting stuff, I grew up in Brookline, mass and I remember old geezers like this.
Well...I heard the 1678 part. I can assure you someone like Benjamin's Franklin, was not speaking this way.
Please translate: Muh Muthuh's flawn ta Itlana awn Dilta Ayahlawns
Looking forward to it!
He sounds more Brooklyn than Boston
I wonder if this guy is still around and how his life turned out 🤓
People today are sick in the head and they have low selfesteem no confidence
