Filipino is so accurate it hurts
Gabbie is too crazy yah
Lol its really easy to do one
Gabbie is too crazy hahhahha.. lolol
I can relate
I'm have Filipino blood, but was raised with no accent. Welp, I don't relate.
Your looks fits with most of the accents.
Kenyan 🤔
@@svalbard2797 that
And that's not a good thing
Jamaican 🤔

This guy looks like he is a discount Adam Sandler
Madden Walsh lmaoooooo
I feel like adam sandler looks like a discount adam sandler. This guy is way more attractive.

Griffin Corcoran lmaoo I’d be scared man
I’m from NYC but I’ve never really heard anyone talk like that lol
SJBrawlsF2P7 Brawl Stars lol
@@griffin3578 facts bru😂
The Russian one sounded like Gru from Despicable Me
Darren Ha Huy I wonder why.
Darren Ha Huy the russian sounded exactly like CrazyRussianHacker, that it hurts
and sadly that's accurate
I'm from Russia. And i can boldly declare that russian accent is something like "mix" between Irland and Arabian.
dude my names darren too
I'm english
Finally someone who doesn't exaggerate the English accent
Lol my attempt at an English accent always turns into Australian. I need more English friends.
i agree, although when he said the word "accent" it sounded too american haha why can no one ever get an english accent right lmao
YEA
He sounded "normal" to me.
@Beauty Subliminals yeah but hes doing accents... and We have a English accent while each country has their own accent of english. E.g Scottish people speak english but have Scots accent
“.... when gas is 20 cents per gallon”
Well, it’s getting there....
Rip
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Omg this comment didn’t age well
as a 1940 mafia gangster boss
i can tell this is quite accurate.
Me when I watch too many James Cagney movies
Side note, The Roaring Twenties is an absolute favorite
I'm surprised this guy knew the difference of accents in north jersey compared to south jersey lol
+Dalton Bew I'm from New Jersey lol
***** brother I think u meant to say different types of American accents
Nicola Foti haha I had a feeling you were, I could tell...most people outside of jersey associate us all with that north jersey accent lol...they ask why I don't have that accent and I say it's because I'm from south jersey lol
Mark Watson
Same I'm from south jersey and I'm glad someone finally got it right
I really hope this guy starts a career in voice over acting
thank you I hope so too 🙏🏼
@@soundlyawake yOU STILL RESPOND TO THESE COMMENTS luv
exactly
The French accent is so accurate I’m laughing so hard
Actually, being French and teaching English to French students, I disagree. If only they could speak like that! Best they can do is mumble a few words barely understandable…
0:48 THIS GUY? WHATCHU MEAN THIS GUY? WHAT’D THIS GUY EVER DO TO YOU? BE RIGHT BACK, GOTTA FIX MY TRACTOR. *Y E E H A W*
I'm gonna go and fix my tractor...
YEEHAW
Karson Florence As a born and raised Texan, I’m gonna respectfully decline the fact that we use “Yeehaw”. You only say it if you want to be ironic or sound like you’re from the western movies. We say “Oooh wee” a lot more
Karson Florence also as a southern, it may just be me, but I tend to not only say y’all a lot, but tend to say y’all ain’t gon, and stuff like that. When not say y’all I’ll say yer never you.
@@BirdsofParis As a fellow texan, I have never heard anyone ever say that, possibly because I live in the city...?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
fucking nailed it
Lol
I can't wait for the day when an American does an Australian accent well
There's an Australian TH-camr named Lachlan who doesn't even sound Australian XD
+Synthrax Because he spends too much time with his American friends lmao
Australian?
Oh, you mean a Steve Irwin accent
Yeah I've got aways to go, friend
+AdaamVee - I've noticed the lack of the stereotypical 'Australian' accent. Do you know Why is that is?

I’m Japanese but your Japanese accent is literally perfect lol
When he switched to English I thought he was actually born there, sounded so natural to my Ears (i live in London)
You're like the first person I've ever seen acknowledge that canto and Mandarin aren't the same language and have totally different accents. Also, your Mandarin was so good.
Lol. He totally surprised me with the nearly fluent Mandarin!
Haha I was scrambling eggs when I heard Mandarin. Got my attention lol
The Mexican was not Mexican accent it was cholo accent 😂
Yep was gonna comment that
he sounds like he's from miami lol
REALLL
Who cares, he made me laugh that’s all that matters
I just died😂😂😂
the vietnamese accent killed me😂
I loved how you connected the accents together so funny .
As a filipino, those asian accents are ON point
I agree
Korean and vietnamese are way off.
@@christiansalazar7276
The Korean needs more epenthetical schwa, and the pitch should a little bit ( _little_ bit ) peeved, as it were.
@Lourd ulol
Nah that pinky accent was wayyy off
I'm candian and I actually do say sorry like that. and THANK YOU FOR NOT SAYING ABOOT omg. it truly is aboat
Rainne it's soda not pop
it's lemonade and cola lol
The weird thing is, I'm from Colorado, and we have a mix between a Canadian and midwestern accent.
Ikr I HATE IT when people say UR NOT CANADIAN YOU SAY ABOAT NOT ABOOT
but he said oon instead of on. that's just as bad. his canadian was horrible
I'm from Peru and I'm learning English. In the beginning, distinguishing the different accents was hard for me. But recently I've started understanding many of them.
My grandma is peruvian love it - she spoke with an accent and it was the best
This is literally insane. Love that you keep it light! Keep it up!!
Goes viral 7 years later
Tear_Risky i know right lmao
Tear_Risky lol

I saw this few years ago.
California valley girl is exactly what I sound like and it's so accurate it hurts
I can't think of a good name I feel like it's just so basic any one can do it even if they don't try
I'm that and a mixture of Urban American Girl...
Camille IsRoxiecats?MSP same
Camille IsRoxiecats?MSP same along with some general America on some words. It depends with who I'm talking to.
I was like oh! THIS HURTS 😅
3:08 When your younger cousins won’t stop fighting
What a great effort! Your Midwestern was my favorite, and almost all of them were very good.
I'm Jamaican and every time I hear someone try to do a Jamaican accent it makes me laugh
Charissa Smith same
Charissa Smith same 😂
Charissa Smith beer can bacon
Charissa Smith SNOOP DOGG
Charissa Smith same here!
he just flat out nailed the german one.
Swagmeister not really, German accents are a little harder to understand
für n ammi war des doch wohl mehr als gut oder nich?
Das R wird bei den meisten die es versuchen und sich zumindest n bisschen mit Englisch beschäftigen mehr gerollt aber jeder der es nur in der Schule gelernt hat...100%ig true
Richtiges "Deutsch-Englisch" klingt eigentlich ganz anders. Die Betonung einiger englischer Wörter klingen mit dem deutschen Akzent teilweise harsch. Deswegen leider ein bisschen misslungen, finde ich. 😅
Swagmeister Mehr "th-sounds" wären gut gewesen. Verwechslungsgefahr besonders in Deutschland: think-sink !
I'm awestruck. You're freaking good, man!
Damn, after all these years, coming back to this brings back so many memories. From watching your youtube, to watching your streams on blogtv and the moment you helped put together a youtube video for me. To seeing you happy at vidcon. I always wish you happiness and a beautiful life. Thank you for being a part of mine.
As a Filipino, the accent was spot on. My uncle talks like that all the time.
wales2k same
i totally agree! 😂
the best part is he Bilingualed it which made it more accurate.
tbh haha
wales2k true😂
Who else found this from the recommended, from watching the 50 state stereotypes in 2 mins vid?
Fo Buckets lmao I did😂
Courtney Lane 👍🏼
Damn me too
how did you know
Fo Buckets meeeee
0:56 as someone from the west coast, the midwestern accent sounds like the typical "nice, mild guy who minds his own business and gets 2 lines for the whole episode" type in tv shows
You smashed it!!
Mexican is perfect, sounds like my uncle
Alexis Bell sounds like my family and I
So true!! its perfectly!
TT-TT
Alexis Bell I’m Mexican lol
Alexis Bell my grandpa sounds lile a mix of every other old mexican man and larry the cable guy
the Filipino accent is exactly how my boss talks. Dude can't pronounce words which start with f correctly for pucks sake.
ITS CARRIED TO 3rd SLIP lol
Just paking deal with it. Jusmiyo ukininam ka
Masyadong masama, harapin mo ito!
WILKS SO TRUE
It's por packs sake
Didn't know this video was 10 years old. Good video.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD especially your irish one spot on mate
3:16 holy shit he just spoke some fluent mandarin
yeah lol, if you can see the background he has chinese poster! XD
What kind of " I only graduated high-school" ass comment is that??? He's got a poster in another language in his house, therefore he /must/ speak the language fluently.
he said He can speak some but he can't speak it very good
Yes, he said in Mandarin that he can speak a little bit of English but not very well.
Am I the only white guy watching this video who also knows how to speak mandarin
I DIED AT THE FILIPINO ACCENT
Keepsake Studios hahaha
English carabao madalas ang mga pilipino eh 😂
Mega Swag 959 Perpek
Keepsake Studios putang ina mo
i'm Filipino and he did really good job. I'm LMAO rn
9 years old and it's still *GOLD*
Omg this was so good
YEEHAW
Lol not everyone from Texas has that accent
Thank you, bro.
Edward L that is a myth i'm from there
you are right Edward L
1,000th like🙌🏼
So many people are offended by this and it's hilarious. This whole video is made from HIS perspective and tbh I think he's pretty accurate. 😂
Yeah lol I wasn't offended by the southern accent he did. People should just enjoy the uniqueness of accents rather than be offended, and I found myself even thinking he should have done more types of the southern accent than just the "southern accent". I'm from Louisiana, so I'd have liked to hear something I didn't consider an accent to me. Btw people from New Orleans sound much different to me than people where I live... :)
this video is 6 year old
Preach! 💯👏
ikr xD
mel lel mel lel I don't think the point of this video is to "represent" everyone's accent in the English language. I do believe the video is a carefree showcase of this man's impersonations. Also, please don't refer me to "stupid" I don't appreciate it.
it was very nice!! congrats
Great job!
This guy kinda looks like Adam sandler.
Simplymcmproductions lmfao yeeees
+Simplymcmproductions usually people say rob Schneider lol
the face at 1:51 reminds me of a white Dwyane Johnson (particularly from that Family Guy cut scene)
Andy Samberg but with a smaller nose.
Simplymcmproductions I was going to say that
When you have a "A" on your test...
0:54
only when my cousin gives me a good luck smooch on the lips before tho
This might be a bit edgy but...
When your sister can’t get an abortion in Alabama now after you two did...
Yyyyÿÿÿÿÿrtfhgßewéqšhgkjłpíöÿù
Can relate
When I get a "C" on my test...
Nobody youtube: lets recomend something 9 yrs later
Oh my goodness, that was awesome!!!
You forgot SCOTTISH!!!😭
Emma Leitch ikr? All I can say is "Hello, I'm from Scohtnd!
O H H E L L O T H E R E
Emma Leitch and almost all of ACTUAL England
That's not English tho
DAnielT123 we speak english😂
3:29
*DON-A BUY DAT CHAMPOO, ISA FOR A SIN HAIR, YOU HAVE BERY SICK HAIR!* LOL
😂😂
These were surprisingly good!
your southern is pretty good man! good job
2:35 ... I died laughing because as an Australian I can tell you you're 100% correct 😂
there are lots of different Australian accents
yeah but his version wasn't one of them broski
I think a lot of us sound just normal with a tiny bit of an accent and some times the excessive use of some words.
Laurelindo lol actually he meant the accent was inaccurate , he was agreeing with what was said at 2:35
Why is everyone going on so much? I only stated a simple fact.
the Vietnamese accent sounds like the woman who does my nails
XD
Lxxy C no, we do not sound like that -_- we sound worse :(
Not to be racist or anything but don't most Vietnamese women own nail salons like how Indians always run takeaways.
yes, its not racist because way back then, a woman taught Vietnamese people how to do her nails so...it just kind of stuck. (i know because my mom owns 2 nail salons)
Lxxy C IKR
I love you man! Thank You for uploading this vid! Stay Blessed! C. Much Love and Respect
Me trying to do any accent: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Indian Accent was spot on!!!
P.S : I was waiting for the Indian Accent 😋
fucken weirdo
How was that weird?
THE FILIPINO ONE GAVE ME PTSD FROM MY MOM
Strawberry Bleach AHHHH SAME
Sooo truuuue
Same
Im actually crying when he said that
Still one of my favorite videos
You are so talented
The Indian one was so good I was shook
asseater007 sounded more like a South African Indian accent than an Indian Indian one to me
Shooken*
shaken*
Native American
HOLK RUX no
As Mandarin Chinese speaker, you need to stuff more kung pao puppies and condensed smog deep into the throat to bring out the full flavor, awesome video!
Qi Zhang ...wei shen me
How about no? .
Aryan the past o
wtf dude... how about a NO
U did so good at imitating! Good job
My English teacher used this video to spike interest among our fellow students to study. That was 10 years ago, finally found this video again online. Managed to give it a like. Thank you sir.
oh wow! that’s super cool to hear. thanks for finding me, I hope you check out my other stuff!
The Italian made me laugh so hard
Alice Borrati he did the italian hand tho
He didn't use it in the right way though
Alice Borrati He didn't make neither Italian "accent" well and I don't know why they think we're all Sicilians or something like it.
Francesco Cosentino That's true
Francesco Cosentino I know right?! Sicily isn't the only place in Italy!
THE URBAN ACCENT IS TOO REAL 😂😂😂
Layla Jones except they can't comprehend percentages like the ones he used in the example
Collin Clem what do you mean?
Collin Clem just because someone has an urban accent doesn't mean they're stupid.
Layla Jones from my personal experience, it's generally true. Obviously not ALL, as with any stereotype, but for the majority, education is not of interest to them. But then again, I'm from a lower-income area so that could play a role as well.
The boston was so accurate finally someone who can do it right!
I mean he did it for 10 seconds lol
Fantastic!! 😄😄😂😂😂 Respect! 👏👏👏
As a Canadian... I can say that Canadian accent is a stereotype xD
New Caesar Not that I know of, and I've lived in Canada my whole life.
New Caesar Must just be the part of Canada I live in. I've never heard a different accent here. (Well, I have, but only occasionally.)
Same, honestly I haven't really heard an accent like that. What's with people stereotyping Canada so much anyways xD! Like how where so nice, you can't say that since there are people who really are not. Anyway I liked the video, keep up the good work!
Feline Nerdy me too
Well, duh. All of them are stereotypes and they're stereotypes for a reason.
Cant be racist... IF ITS TRUE
Virtual Titan even if it wasn’t true and he butchered the accent it still wouldn’t be “racist” like saying an accent isn’t racist, nor is saying “white man” or “black man.”
My drama teacher said that and i drew the swastika
Belee dat
@@safndaf9355 technically the swastika isn't really bad. Its from India.
@@safndaf9355 never said that because it was created to mean something good that meant when the nazi's used it it wasn't bad. It's that you can use it as the Indians wanted. But because it was used for something that bad it will always be looked at as bad.
this is so amazing!
Omg is this our 9th adversary since this was the first video that i saw and immediately subscribed.
The french accent was exactly like mine 😂
+helena AAZ He got the French, and the German right :D
+nikch1 ahhhhhhhh
I’m from Texas, and people are always surprised that I sound so middle American.
Professional Watcher Same
do you live in an urban or very diverse area? I live in Georgia but in Atlanta so theres a lot of people from all over the place so the native atlantan's accent is pretty standard with a hint of southern (like mine, lived here all my life). But go an hour away in pretty much any direction and everyone sounds like 0:43. Go two hours south and everyone sounds like 0:49
I’m from North Texas I have a General American accent then again my teachers were from the suburbs.
I'm from Virginia but I have more of a midwestern/chicago accent lol
Ikr? I'm from San Antonio
You are spot on mate
The cantonese one had me dying😂😂😂
YO YOUR NATIVE ACCENT HAD ME SHOOK
Ps. I'm native so .-.
Oh Nevhun same dude, I'm Navajo and that accent was meh
Vanessa Joe Exactly. I'm a lot of things but mostly Menominee
Oh Nevhun shit I thought we killed you off
Nice profile pic
Alyia Wang HELLO ARMY
#9 California Surfer accent sounds like someone from the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island lol
But ...that’s what it sounds like? To me and I’m from California lol
Somehow I doubt that accent really exists outside of fiction.
@Natural Slasher That's true but anytime I've met someone from there or heard a real person from there on TV or whatever I don't notice any sort of an accent that's distinct from the national standard. Besides, the surfer dude/valley girl dialect is more of a way of talking than an actual accent. It seems to be defined more by vocabulary and inflection than by pronunciation of any particular word or letters.
I live in California (Ventura) but most people (dudes) sound like #8 and #9 combined, I have more of the surfer voice
Natural Slasher what do you mean by that he exaggerates the valley girl shit and I olive on the valley
You're AMAZING! 😅👍
Wonderful! - your Boston is spot on with attitude and everything! ;-)
Filipino accent is fckn spot on hahahaha
karelo911 ay nako dont payt!

What the haha lol
I've never heard anybody talk with that stereotypical new yorker accent
iLordOfAviation only if you're in deep Brooklyn but it still exists.
I know plenty
iLordOfAviation It's mainly the 5 burrows and parts of LI depends on if you grew up in the city
iLordOfAviation it's true, some ppl do really talk like that. But I've never heard a real Italian talk with that "Italian" accent before! XD XD
come to Brooklyn b
Dude you’re so good
Love this
The Vietnamese was hilarious!😅😅
Lindsay Truong ☺
i practically died at the Filipino accent
Same xD HAHAHA
that one was my favorite! having many friends with filipino parents he sounded just like many moms I know haha
Hello. Very nice hetalia profile picture.
I pratically died when he did the Italian one and then the spanish one right after. Hahaha, sounded like Romano and Spain :)
So did I 😂😂
That was so good! Very funny 😂
Well done on the Midwestern. Pretty accurate.
3. Vegan Gains
7. Cal Chuchesta
How did I not catch that 3 sounds EXACTLY like Vegan Gains...ugh that's creepy
Cal is angry
Zambian when I first heard #3 I instantly thought of Vegan Gains
as a Kenyan I'm surprised the accent made it on here, it was a little off. But at least it didn't sound like the generic Zamunda type accent Hollywood makes me think I sound like.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm Italian and I've lived here in Italy since birth. and you cracked me up cause you made the Italianized English accent perfectly: here in Italy we call it " inglese maccheronico" which literally means "English maccheronico", the term "maccheronico" comes from maccheroni pasta. Honestly as an Italian I can proudly say I have a great American pronunciation, and that's only why my mom is from US, Jersey City.
Just now watching this, you did very good
thank u!
OMG THE FILIPINO ONE HAHAHAH "ay nako!"
It was on point
Sounds just like my grandmother lol
+The Squid Squad XD
Rochelle and Michael Fs are Ps and Vs are Bs lol.
Huyuyb u
I live in Texas, and when people come to visit Texas, they always expect horses, cows, tumbleweeds, saloons, and cowboys. Its always hilarious when someone comes and realizes that Texas is pretty much like all the other states, and with the exception of the few rural areas, in which you may hear some people with accents. However, in most areas, its mostly urban/suburban and everyone just talks with the generic middle american kind of tone.
Crazykidclips and that Dallas is like Liberal city...it blows their minds. Sry gtg ride my horse jk...........
Crazykidclips I live in San Antonio (and have my whole life) and it always kind of rubs me the wrong way when everybody thinks Texas is some backwards ass rural desert. We on tv are seen as idiots with a heavy accent (Sandy Cheeks, Jessie (from Jessie)) but where I live which is on the edge of helotes which is where I went to high school, it's really beautiful and rural(ish) there are a bunch of properties on my way to school which have horses and cows and even llamas but even they talk like normal civil human beings. I wish people would see that :/
Crazykidclips right
FuriousTaco where is deep Texas?
lola Pulkin I assume anywhere south of San Antonio or west from the major cities until you hit el paso
Lmao you're so funny. Good job.
