"Nearly every scene has people talking about knowing one another's relatives and inquiring about their current whereabouts." Wow, that's so fucking accurate it's actually scary. Wicked scary.
Celtic Bird you should meet my cousin Sister Mary Beth, she knows the birth date of everyone in the family since creation and the death date of everyone who has died and even some that haven't died yet
I wish they had a scene for this one. It is so true. Whenever I see someone from back in the day we are always asking how is 'so-and-so' and 'how are they doing?'
Im from boston an i travel down south ( alabama,georgia,Florida ) an I blow the f-bomb constantly. My personal ladies tell me i need to calm down on the language. They asked one time wby am I so angry.
*Wow, you literally copied someone else's top comment word-for-word, and ripped it off as your own.* _That's just a tad bit pathetic my man. Insecure much?_
This never gets old for me. I'm from MA and have lived in PA for the past 13 years, and I've been so homesick for the Boston accent lately. I still laugh every time he says that over exaggerated "Brockton" as that's where I'm from. Haven't lived there in 30 years, but I spent my first 25 years there.
As a born and bred Bostonian, I have to say, this never gets old.... great, great job with the accent. It’s a bit over the top, but, it’s a parody, so it’s pretty damn hilarious. I’m just so wicked psyched for it :)
I especially liked how they showcase the importance of saying the names “of cities and towns in Massachusetts and the greater Boston area”, 100% accurate, Lol!!!
It's over the top to you because you don't hear it because to you it's normal. As someone who has been to Boston many times I can confirm this is not an exaggeration.
Matthew what a difference a year makes. Looks like the Red Sox cheated. Brady moved his family to Connecticut. 1 Bruins sweatshirt would have been appropriate
I'M an Irishman from Belfast Ireland who has family in south boston This skit is hilarious Love it especially the joke about ft 75 new songs from the DKM omfg so funny
I’m wicked late, but yeah, I’m American from MA but my dads parents were Irish Travellers. This friggin nailed not just Boston, but all of MA, especially the part about conversations about knowing people’s relatives. That bit made me crack up
We don't say "wicked" in Boston as a whole description. It's always "wicked funny", "wicked cool" etc. They ALWAYS get this wrong. I was born here and have lived here all my life. I would never call something just "wicked".
In 1970s North Shore, "queah" was used alot (queer originally meant weird, but I suppose being gay would be weird to the mainstream). "Whatayou, queah?" was the common phrase basically meaning "What are you, crazy?" with the sexual deviance added.
I moved to New England in 1986 to live with my Cambridge born and raised boyfriend. We renovated and lived in a carriage house in NewHampshire. My first winter out of the Arizona desert was wicked cold. We moved to Arizona in 90. It was a wicked hot year. Just like every year.
@@insomniad2514 i see it's like the word "pretty" like pretty hard or pretty cold, you don't use it on it's own unless you literally mean pretty as in beautiful, and you wouldn't say wicked on it's own unless you literally meant something evil, and neither of those have the same meaning as when it's used as a modifier
I live in newton and only my grandparents and older relatives said wicked, until I met my friend who said a show was "wicked good" and i was astonished
+Jogwheel Jon! Its time Jon. Bring it back. If you make it they will watch. Its not the show that youtube wants but its the show youtube needs, or something like that. Luke, use the radiation. HOw do you like them microwaved apples? I love the smell of airbags in the morning.
i remember watching this for the first time and i was almost finished and thought 'yeah well he missed how in every boston movie there's a graphic shot of someone getting shot in the head straight up' and then boom, he got it. really hit the nail on the 'genre' 😂
I want them to record this fabled ten-minute conversation of city and town names. I'm on the other side of the country from my home on the Northshore, and just hearing those pronunciations filled me with nostalgia and happiness.
02:59 I lived in the Boston area for 2 years and the best example of how it was is the time I overheard a woman tell her friend how upset her cousin was because her name was 'Dahna' but people kept calling her 'Donna'.
My mom's name is Kerry and pretty much everyone she meets from another state calls her Carrie. It drives her crazy. In High School, I had a classmate named Erin. One of our teachers was from the Midwest and he kept calling her Aaron. She would slowly annunciate her name, but he just couldn't hear the difference. Eventually she gave up, but she looked so exasperated every time he called her Aaron.
I didn't think I even had a Boston accent (compared to my dad and other people from my neighborhood) until I moved to Chicago and people kept asking me to repeat myself.
I absolutely lost it at the "Oh, and I almost forgot.... it also has people getting shot in the head", followed by numerous clips of people getting shot in the head. Pure gold.
"As with all movies set in Boston I spent less time paying attention to the plot and more time thinking "That accent is good" and "yikes, what's this guy doing?"" So incredibly spot on. That's basically me at every Boston-set movie (here's looking' at you The Town)
I remember Boston as being like one huge dysfunctional family. Everyone mostly puts up with everyone else, but has to keep finding creative new ways to keep their relationships interesting. So that's why everyone can be so funny. The humor just relieves the boredom
I thought I was alone in noticing this phenomenon. Every movie set it Boston feels like it becomes more about the city and the accents than anything else. Not necessarily a bad thing, I love a lot of the movies I am talking about, but it happens.
I laughed so hawd! My late husband was from Boston. He was on the phone one day and was verifying a number with a lady on the phone. The numbers included 40 twice but he said fawty, instead of four-zero, and the lady kept saying "I can't understand you!" 😂
That is one of the funniest, most clever skits I've ever seen Seth Myers in. Just been watching City on a Hill based in - you guessed it - Boston - with Kevin Bacon and produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck... Surely all involved would be rolling on the floor over this - a gem.
My favorite part was the "featuring an actor who doesn't even try to do a Boston accent.... 'Yeah, I'm going to go park the car in the Harvard yard!'" Hahaha
This skit makes me laugh every time I watch it. "I wonder if the director ever asked, 'where do you think your character is from?'" 😂 "847 songs by the Dropkick Murphy's"
I feel like Hollywood's obsession with the Boston dialect(s) is that we have been rapidly losing our regional accents for decades. There aren't too many left in the NE, and it has the most significant phonological shifts.
My dad grew up in Chicago, in the city. My uncle and cousins have this heavy Chicago accent, yet I don't hear that accent on TV shows that take place in Chicago, except for that show about the chef. I'm jealous, I was born and raised in San Fran, I have no accent!
As someone who lives near Boston it really is shocking every time I go to the city to see how many people get shot in the head while parking their car at the Harvard yard
as a person from Boston, this is completely accurate. I freaked out a little when he mentioned my home town lol also, all I could think about was Kevin Costner in Thirteen Days and his awful attempt at a Boston accent (although I can't say much because I can't do one myself)
I laughed my ass off watching this video ! Seth Myers shows that he's not only a funny guy from SNL, a great talk show host, but now he's proved that he can do many different characters while doing great acting as well. Seth is too good for TV and should be in the movies !
I'm from the "greater boston area" and do have an accent like this. I love when people make fun of the accent. I always know they are laughing with us, not at us. :D
@better future You are Funny! I was raised in the burbs but Wicked, and Pissa were part of suburban life as well. And don't forget "your mutha". I have been gone from there for many decades, {67 years old} but I love it all. Every time I see something from the Boston area in a movie or even an old 'Cops ' episode it makes me yearn. Love you all and please stay safe.
If you grew up in mass your whole life u won't hear it in people cause it's just natural I never notice it on most people but when I talk to people out of state they say your from Boston and I'm like hell yeah
+Annie Dunigan he's right it's true, because if you go out to the Midwest or out to California they will look at you strangely for a bit, and then it will dawn on them where you are from..trust me it's happened to me many, many times :) I am born and bred also( Marshfield) from here and I was like you I never noticed I had one till I picked up field service work requiring me to travel around the country and they notice it especially down South, just a heads up :)
+Annie Dunigan my brother speaks like i do and goes down south for college and people say he has a boston accent, but up here no one would say we would. i think its most noticeable for me when theres another alteration with the person voice -- like if its higher or lower than a normal voice, i see it. other than that i dont really notice it
Yeah I'm from the Boston area and have never once heard someone say pissah other than making fun of the stereotypical Boston accent. We say wicked all the time, but not pissah.
+Stan McMan My mum says it unironically all the time (4th generation Brookline) but I think it's just kinda outdated. Like "groovy" but more local, haha
Yeah, I grew up in RI, Mass, and NH and I heard/said wicked all the time growing up in the 80's, but the only time I ever heard pissah (until SNL) was actually in a negative sense (and not that often).
I grew up in Weymouth in the 80s and I've only known one guy in my life who said pissah. Quincy townie, older than me. He would say it all the time..."oh man, it was pissah!"...I guess it was a 70s thing...
Christo Guichard Australian accents make no sense, as the Boston accent was developed before the Australian, and the Australian accent only came about very recently. Irish, would make sense for it to be in it, with mass emigration to Boston from Ireland- however I don’t detect a hint of that accent. It sounds American and English. (Irish pronounce r’s - English don’t)
Frank Pitochelli I mean listen I’m from Ireland I love the thought of my country having an influence over the world, but I really really just don’t hear a hint of an Irish accent in it
@@corpiusa3171 ...not that it contains the Irish accent ,it a derivative of the Irish that controlled that city for a couple hundred yrs.. The way they drop or add the 'R's.. Hard to explain but it makes sense if you think about the Boston Dialect .!
Nobody from Boston would propose meeting in Worcester. That's outside 495. Bostonians think you need a passport to travel outside 495. Just crossing 95 is enough to induce heart palpitations. They don't risk that for anything less than a Pats game.
I grew up in Southeast Connecticut exactly 2 hours from New York and 2 hours from Boston. I never thought I had an accent until I went to each city. Bostonians thought I was from the New York area and they in turn thought I was visiting from Boston. Believe it or not areas in Rhode Island has some of the strongest accents out of everybody!
+nick b There is such a thing called a Connecticut accent but differs depending on if you live closer to Boston or NYC. Overall the CT accent is pretty mild compared to surrounding states and many people don't have an accent.
I just waited an hour at Logan and watched the destinations of the other buses as they stopped and went on and I’m thinking to myself, “Why don’t we meet in Braintree? What about Brockton? How ‘bout Worcester? What about Woburn?”and people are sitting there wondering if I’m a half bubble off of plumb as I’m sitting there cackling to myself.
+Vaibhav Kathuria Ehhh, wadda mean crazy? I'll tellya somethin crazy, I was at Fenway Pahk, the Sawks were playin the Range-ahs (they suck cause it's like they all hit the ball wicked hahd) and the crazy thing is a guy fell from the Green Monsta... tawk about hittin wicked hahd! amirite?

It's a Hahhd Ahh!
Well played.
If they saw that comment, they would've included it in the trailer

I can't believe how good his "British actor not quite successfully trying to do a Boston accent" accent is. He totally nailed it.
not really
As a Brit I couldn't agree more!
Not "British"-English. No self respecting Scottish person could ever sound like that. That said brilliant stuff Seth. I never miss your show. McIntyre
As an English person, yep 😂
I'm pretty sure that was a jab at Benedict Cumberbatch
Starring Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg

One of my favorite memes is when a Bostonian says "khakis" is he talking about pants or the thing to start his car with.
You misspelled KAH, bro
Dungarees
"Nice paintaing... very AHHHtistic" lol
Or perhaps they slipped into an Australian accent and were talking about a dead body.
@@instantstupor Aussie here.
For us it's closer to Car keys (caah keys) or khaki's (kakees) ;)
"Nearly every scene has people talking about knowing one another's relatives and inquiring about their current whereabouts."
Wow, that's so fucking accurate it's actually scary. Wicked scary.
You're wicked smart for seeing that , how's Sharlene?

As a Bostonian my gripe with this is that if you’re in Boston there’s no way you can meet someone in Worcester in an hour.
Police helicopter?
You can but you gotta watch out for the 'Stateies".
Oh Def. You could be IN Worcester and you still couldn’t meet someone in Worcester in an hour
On a holiday maybe. If there’s no construction on the pike
I can go to Worcester, and have this conversation with ordering a coffee in less than one hour
He neglected to mention the F-bomb being used in *_every sentence,_* as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and even conjunction!

If you grew up in mass your whole life u won't hear it in people cause it's just natural I never notice it on most people but when I talk to people out of state they say your from Boston and I'm like hell yeah
+Annie Dunigan he's right it's true, because if you go out to the Midwest or out to California they will look at you strangely for a bit, and then it will dawn on them where you are from..trust me it's happened to me many, many times :) I am born and bred also( Marshfield) from here and I was like you I never noticed I had one till I picked up field service work requiring me to travel around the country and they notice it especially down South, just a heads up :)
+Annie Dunigan my brother speaks like i do and goes down south for college and people say he has a boston accent, but up here no one would say we would. i think its most noticeable for me when theres another alteration with the person voice -- like if its higher or lower than a normal voice, i see it. other than that i dont really notice it
+Annie Dunigan unless you live in southie you won't have an accent like in the video.
+Annie Dunigan No, you ah.
The jimmies thing is serious though here lol and he said Worcester!!!
I come back to this video every few months. 😂
I'm back😆
Welcome back
As a Bostonian, I was loving this until the improper Bostonian usage of "wicked" at 2:19.
Yeah that made no sense lol. It was wicked retahted dude.
+Amy A Thank you! That's my pet peeve when people use it that way. It's an ADVERB not an ADJECTIVE haha
What was wrong with it?
Bostonians use "wicked" as an adverb rather than an adjective!
+RussellFSho "wicked" means "very". Matt Damon is wicked smaht. You don't just say "wicked" by itself.
Yeah I'm from the Boston area and have never once heard someone say pissah other than making fun of the stereotypical Boston accent. We say wicked all the time, but not pissah.
+Stan McMan My mum says it unironically all the time (4th generation Brookline) but I think it's just kinda outdated. Like "groovy" but more local, haha
+H. Conrad Pretty sure its more south shore, also a generation old
Yeah, I grew up in RI, Mass, and NH and I heard/said wicked all the time growing up in the 80's, but the only time I ever heard pissah (until SNL) was actually in a negative sense (and not that often).
That's bullshit. People say it all the time. I even say it and I hate Boston.
I grew up in Weymouth in the 80s and I've only known one guy in my life who said pissah. Quincy townie, older than me. He would say it all the time..."oh man, it was pissah!"...I guess it was a 70s thing...
The Boston accent is actually the...
American, Irish, and Australian accent COMBINED.
...with a touch of cockney.
Christo Guichard Australian accents make no sense, as the Boston accent was developed before the Australian, and the Australian accent only came about very recently. Irish, would make sense for it to be in it, with mass emigration to Boston from Ireland- however I don’t detect a hint of that accent. It sounds American and English. (Irish pronounce r’s - English don’t)
Eh nobody wants to touch your cockney.
...actually, that's true about the Irish brogue...that's where the Boston accent is derived .
Frank Pitochelli I mean listen I’m from Ireland I love the thought of my country having an influence over the world, but I really really just don’t hear a hint of an Irish accent in it
@@corpiusa3171 ...not that it contains the Irish accent ,it a derivative of the Irish that controlled that city for a couple hundred yrs..
The way they drop or add the 'R's..
Hard to explain but it makes sense if you think about the Boston Dialect .!
Nobody from Boston would propose meeting in Worcester. That's outside 495. Bostonians think you need a passport to travel outside 495. Just crossing 95 is enough to induce heart palpitations. They don't risk that for anything less than a Pats game.
maninredhelm lol all set with 495
maninredhelm RIGHT?!
So true, I've never been farther west than 495 😂
True, hahaha
Yeah, and Brockton’s basically in CT for us.
Now I want to watch The Departed again....
Most of that movie was shot in NYC
"that conversation goes on for 10 minutes." 😆😆😆😆 I`m literally training my abs right now.
*RACHEL DRATCH!!!*
Rachel is from Lexington, MA. She went to temple & the Hebrew School where I work at. There’s a graduation group photo & Rachel is in it. 😃
She was hilarious as a Bostononian with Jimmy Fallon - "Yawh retahded!" "No yawh retahded!"
From a Massachusetts man, here is correct pronunciation of Boston-area places; Boston - Buahstin, Chelmsford - Chelmsfid, Tewksbury - Tewksbrie, Harvard - Havid, Brockton - Brockton, Weymouth - Waymith, Taunton - Tauntn', Raynham - Raynim, Martha's Vineyard - Mahtha's Vinyid, Dorchester - Daughchesta, Billerica - Billricka. Seth nailed it though.
+Aaron Pearson Brock-tin
yo you said my town Tewksbury
+Aaron Pearson Most English town names are the same as the original it seems. Except weymouth and chelmsford are weymuth and chelmsfud
I always thought Dorchester was the Dot
2 corrections: 1. We say “fired up”, not “cranked up” 2. Misuse of the word, “wicked”. Outside of that, completely accurate
I grew up in Southeast Connecticut exactly 2 hours from New York and 2 hours from Boston. I never thought I had an accent until I went to each city. Bostonians thought I was from the New York area and they in turn thought I was visiting from Boston. Believe it or not areas in Rhode Island has some of the strongest accents out of everybody!
+nick b There is such a thing called a Connecticut accent but differs depending on if you live closer to Boston or NYC. Overall the CT accent is pretty mild compared to surrounding states and many people don't have an accent.
As somebody who's from Boston...yeah this is fairly accurate
All Man didn't see That ending coming,Dang Seth 🤭😂 You got Me ✌️👏👏👏
I'm from Boston and it's funny
Hi Jeanine, glad you enjoyed this video. Feel free to Click LIKE on "The Boston Dad" Facebook page: facebook.com/bostondad
I'm from Boston and I was just at ya mom's house!
I’m not from Boston but from Quincy so I can’t really relate.
Quincy has a Stop & Shop . . . . so yeah, still Boston.
I once liked a girl who moved to Boston.
This is so perfect. I laughed way too hard at this. 😂
Freakin' hilarious! Especially the British guy who tries hard but just doesn't get it, and the guy who doesn't even bother to try. 🤣
Years later, I am still laughing at this.
Lmao *proceeds to aggressively eat her ice cream*
Having lived in Boston for a while, I'd argue it's hard to get Anywhere in an hour!
The "Bro" Bro is wicked funny! He's a real pisser 🤣🤣🤣
I just waited an hour at Logan and watched the destinations of the other buses as they stopped and went on and I’m thinking to myself, “Why don’t we meet in Braintree? What about Brockton? How ‘bout Worcester? What about Woburn?”and people are sitting there wondering if I’m a half bubble off of plumb as I’m sitting there cackling to myself.
Coming Soon: Boston Accent 2: Philly Accent: Electric Boogaloo

It's "wicked pissa", and never "wicked" by itself. That being said, this was awesome! Fun to see Seth in different roles.
"wicked smawt" good will hunting memories anyone?
Seth being a British guy doing a Boston accent is EPIC!!
I grew up in New England and for the longest time, I thought “jimmies” was the proper term for “sprinkles.” 😂
fucking masterpiece. A+ 10/10 however not enough "fahkin" and "wicked" should have been "wicked awesome"
