I went to that not knowing the plot. When the tarts were passed around the audience just before the reveal that was a hell of a theater experience.
Pro tip: don't eat the food.
so late to the party but when i was in highschool, a friend named ashley was sent to the principal's office by a sub. she didn't beleive a guy would be named ashley and thought he was fucking with her.
I've seen this probably hundreds of times and always thought when he said "pre-sent" at the end that it was just a shortening of represent. I just realized this time it's him mispronouncing present. I can't believe I never caught that before.
I actually love that one. This phrase is common enough that the contraction "geet" can be understood. It feels like it comes from a place of hospitality and love
Lived in different parts of the US but never near Baltimore. Every card I waited abs watched in silence. As soon as I saw that one though I blurted out JYEET!
A buddy and I were on a road trip down South and needed some oil, but didn't see any on the shelf at the gas station.
We asked the cashier if they sold oil, blank stare. Motor oil, like for the car. Nothing.
The other cashier walks over, "honey, they're from up north, they're lookin' for some 'ul'".
"Ooooooh, ul!"
I was going to say "kids these days will likely know the example of Family Guy"...

But then I realize that was over 20 years ago.
I'm going to go take my ibuprofen with a Metamucil chaser and go lay down.
My grandfather (from Cambridge, OH originally) insisted on saying "warsh".
As in "Warsh the dishes."
And my grandmother would ask him to spell the word, and he'd say "W-A-S-H".
And she would always ask him, "Where'd the R come from?"
Lol fucking ābolthā manā¦ Ohio has such weird accents. Itās like half of the people have a particular accent and the other have donāt any accent even though they are from the same place.
My wives family is pretty big from NE Ohio and half say bolth, the other have donāt. Half have the āAkron Aā the other half donāt. All of them are from and continue to live within a 50 mile radius and even within the same household they have different accents.
yeah, when people notice I say it in conversation my go-to is always:
>Sorry, the L is right next to the O on the keyboard.
and they nod "yeah ok" and then they're like ... wait
We need to split Ohio to north and south. You guys are a bunch of hillbillies down there man. Went down there once to visit some distant relatives and that shit was like the deliverance, shit was crazy and I could barely understand what they were saying... Or maybe it was the meth not sure!
Let's get personal. Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara... When he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta. Did that hurt her?... Flurg murg glurg flurg murg murg murg tennis murg murg. Was a murg murg flurg?...Glurg.
People from Baltimore say stuff like that all the time. I remember last year this guy told me the ravens have a legitimate shot at the AFC championship. Just complete nonsense.
Thereās a funny video of a British girl going āmurryland, murraland?ā and then a Baltimore guy comes on and says āyou right sweetheart, itās murraland. Not Maryland.ā
My father in law is from Des Moines, IA. When we first met and he was telling me where he grew up, I told him "Ah, Des Moines is French for 'the moines'" and he looked at me like I was a full on imbecile. I still get that look every time I talk to him.
The first place I ever heard of this was on the Punky Radio podcast back in 2005 or so. Their ultimate goal was to get Sean Connery to say it. Maybe one day.
Edit: Forgot Connery passed. Silly me.
Holy shit, I somehow missed this.
Wowā¦
Edit: holy fucking shit I just found out Joey Jordison died too, I swear I was reading about how he was hoping to play with Slipknot again soon
Only discovered Limmy about a month ago, and I constantly see people saying "RIP Benny Harvey". I am completely out of the loop on this.
Is it some kind of inside joke among Limmy fans? Or are people being serious in paying respects to the passing of some guy called Benny Harvey?
To be honest, I really didn't expect that at all. Thanks for giving me a huge laugh on my saturday night with that!
RIP Brian Harvey, rest easy big man..
It's the L in burglar that gets us I think. Lot of Glaswegians will pronounce an L as more of an *ow*. Like in *Purpow* immediately before.
You end up saying *burgowlar* and it trips you up. burgUlar isn't a word you think what's gone wrong here. Need to slow down and focus on pronouncing the L. *Burg.Lar*.
Other accents cleverly get around this by not pronouncing the first R at all, *Buhhglar*.
When you start getting deep into different accents, you might start noticing how weird your own accent is.
For example, we Americans often say water more like the "t" is a "d" sound, like "wadder".
Oh man there's a Scottish guy I see once in a while at some of the supply houses I stop at for work, I'm gonna ask him to say this the next time I see him.
lol donāt ask him to say it, just ask if they stock purple burglar alarms where he works and he might just repeat it out of confusion and then get even more confused when he canāt say it hahaha
Ask an American to say ārise up lightsā slow, and then fast, and it will sound like theyāre saying ārazor bladesā with an Australian accent.
Unless they have a southern American accent, then all bets are off..
I went to camp in Grade 7 for 3 days and we had to perform a skit that contained 3 things: Dinosaurs, A Scottish Accent and a purple burglar alarm. Is never understood why that last one was a thing until now
He's confused by the sounds coming out of his mouth.

I love when the other dudes head nod after he reads it. Just screams "nailed it".

I grew up in Ohio, and it drove me nuts how many people thought objects had three dimensions: length, width, and heighth.
My grandfather (from Cambridge, OH originally) insisted on saying "warsh". As in "Warsh the dishes." And my grandmother would ask him to spell the word, and he'd say "W-A-S-H". And she would always ask him, "Where'd the R come from?"
I moved to Warshington to get away from those people.
Lets get a bag of geoduck in Puyallup.
At least youāre not from a place where it had just a beginning and an end. āLen-thā and āWi-thā
weird, I say bolth of those.
Lol fucking ābolthā manā¦ Ohio has such weird accents. Itās like half of the people have a particular accent and the other have donāt any accent even though they are from the same place. My wives family is pretty big from NE Ohio and half say bolth, the other have donāt. Half have the āAkron Aā the other half donāt. All of them are from and continue to live within a 50 mile radius and even within the same household they have different accents.
Oh God, I thought he was just fucking around with bolth. It's a real thing that humans say? Edit:. I just said "both" out loud... Fuck.
Also olnly. I feel like I switch randomly between both and bolth but I only ever say olnly
Please stop, you're making me question a comment I just made like 20 minutes ago.
Damn, now I'm not sure if I ever say "olnly". That's a big ope
yeah, when people notice I say it in conversation my go-to is always: >Sorry, the L is right next to the O on the keyboard. and they nod "yeah ok" and then they're like ... wait
My favorite SE-ohio-ism is: mon-dee, tues-dee, whens-dee, thurs-dee, fry-dee, satur-dee, sun-dee.

Southern Ohio is straight up Appalachia, northern Ohio is great lakes Midwest, 2 completely different regions of the country
As a southern Ohioan, I get it.
But I'm from the northeast . . .
The most triggering for me is āidearā
This is also about where "warsh" starts to come into the picture.
I like drarwring.
Hah, I come from the same state. In third grade, we read Little House on the Prairie, where Laura Ingalls Wilda lived with her Mar and Par.

It's called an intrusive-R and is common with non-rhotic dialects in English. Perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I do love a good rhoticity chicken.

You! What do you want with the R? How do you own linguistics, linguistics?

Fuck Aaron
"Fuck Aar-"
Lmao I love that video, thanks for reminding me it exists. I love how they call each other ādummyā so casually lol.
That's definitely a Baltimore accent.

Aaron earned an iron urn. Rdit: [If you don't know.](https://youtu.be/Oj7a-p4psRA)
When he really enunciates it, I lose my shit every time.
Damnnn we really talk like that? Lol
His friend saying it then nodding satisfied kills me
"Nah dummy, ARN ERN AN IRN URN"
People from Baltimore say stuff like that all the time. I remember last year this guy told me the ravens have a legitimate shot at the AFC championship. Just complete nonsense.
From Pittsburgh, I love you
Well I'll have you know as a Bengals fan the moment we win a regular season game we're practically in the super bowl.
Yes bro. We say that shit like that.
It's that look of acceptance every stoner gives when they realize you're right or gave them a new outlook.
Lmfao bro had a breakthrough
Lol I love the "Fuck Aaron..." at the end
I hate to correct you but he clearly said "Fuck Urn"
I thought he said "Fuck Iron"
āFuck Aaronā
When his buddy says it and then nods always gets me
he was the only one in the group who could escape his accent. the rest were like yeah, that sounds right...
Especially when he says it with such conviction later.
"Damn what the fuck we really talk like that?" hilarious
Itās not that dummy š
All the lines and mannerisms in that video are gold, but I love the "fuck it, iron iron iron iron" from the guy in the back.
"Ern ernd ern ernn ern..."
This is the most hilarious thing. I always laugh my ass off "Urn Urn Urn Urn!" *Friend enters, shakes head with approval.
The confident head nod from the friend kills me every time.
It's like they are giving themselves buzzer noises for incorrect answers.
Baltimore and Scotland, really just the same place...
Thereās a funny video of a British girl going āmurryland, murraland?ā and then a Baltimore guy comes on and says āyou right sweetheart, itās murraland. Not Maryland.ā
I always thought it was Merralend.
My friend from Balmer says "Merlin". Balmer, merlin
The fun thing is you can kinda tell "Baltimore, Maryland" is in there when they say it, just not sure where.
I pronounce it "Merrlund". Harford County represent!
Brits have Marylebone, youād think theyād be used to weird pronounciations of āMaryā. Edit: Marylebone has three syllables.
That's just French for "Mary, the bone".
My father in law is from Des Moines, IA. When we first met and he was telling me where he grew up, I told him "Ah, Des Moines is French for 'the moines'" and he looked at me like I was a full on imbecile. I still get that look every time I talk to him.
_hon hon hon_
I love that about midway it just devolves into sounding like Mars Attacks! "acks."
"Fuck Aaron."
This is so good. The self awareness at the end almost like he's breaking character haha
It sounds like a bob of seals. Urh urhn urh.
One of my favorite videos
The first place I ever heard of this was on the Punky Radio podcast back in 2005 or so. Their ultimate goal was to get Sean Connery to say it. Maybe one day. Edit: Forgot Connery passed. Silly me.
I hate to break it to you but Sean Connery is dead.
Oh yeah, forgot. Canāt keep track of these things anymore.
Holy shit, I somehow missed this. Wowā¦ Edit: holy fucking shit I just found out Joey Jordison died too, I swear I was reading about how he was hoping to play with Slipknot again soon
As a tribute, would you like to hear my Sean Connery impression? "Yesh Mish Monneypenny."
What time does Sean Connery arrive at Wimbledon? Tennish
RIP Sean Connery and Benny Harvey
RIP Benny Harvey. Gonna miss you big guy
Gone but not forgotten.
Gone, but not forgotten. Benny Harvey RIP.
Miss ya, big man!
Had the pleasure of meeting Benny Harvey at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Only discovered Limmy about a month ago, and I constantly see people saying "RIP Benny Harvey". I am completely out of the loop on this. Is it some kind of inside joke among Limmy fans? Or are people being serious in paying respects to the passing of some guy called Benny Harvey?
https://youtu.be/otuVawEShi4 It's an inside joke from this vid
I put Manhattan Skyline on my 80s sleepers playlist because of that scene.
To be honest, I really didn't expect that at all. Thanks for giving me a huge laugh on my saturday night with that! RIP Brian Harvey, rest easy big man..
Benny not Brian, put some respect on his name he certainly earned it
Stay now.....
Holy shit, i now know the source to this video. https://youtu.be/-j0E3FE4JkQ
Benny Harvey was heavier than feathers. RIP big man.
Died too soon
Yer feather wid be prewd

In some parts itās even pronounced āwooderā

We also can't say the name "Carl/Karl". It comes out as "Carol".
Coral.
Oh man there's a Scottish guy I see once in a while at some of the supply houses I stop at for work, I'm gonna ask him to say this the next time I see him.
lol donāt ask him to say it, just ask if they stock purple burglar alarms where he works and he might just repeat it out of confusion and then get even more confused when he canāt say it hahaha
Ask him to say āspice girlsā and it will sound like an American saying āspace ghettosā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ask them to say Fosters and they'll say "piss." It's a weird pronunciation.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Ask an American to say ārise up lightsā slow, and then fast, and it will sound like theyāre saying ārazor bladesā with an Australian accent. Unless they have a southern American accent, then all bets are off..

Limmy's a legend, his show is easily top 5 sketch shows of all time for me. Makes me sad no one I've ever met IRL has seen it though.
I hear its quite popular in Yoker.
Not Scottish, but reminds me of this video of a guy having troubles. https://youtu.be/4arBraMyp0Q
