Huh, primitive Craigslist. What accent is that, by the way? I'm interested that he rhymes "washed" with "borscht."

The accent, yoink, sounds Hoosier or Down-State Illinois to me, but I'm no expert.

Laughing and pointing at country folk makes them angry, you know.

Whatever it is, I had a grade school teacher that said the same thing. She also pronounced "sink" as "zink" which looking back on it doesn't even belong the same stereotype. Mars?

When he stepped off the magic carpet and said "not really" I busted up pretty good right there.

Yup, sounds like downstate Illinois to me.
And I enjoyed it in laughing-with, not laughing-at way but maybe that's because I live 20 minutes from Illinois. And yeah, orme, the "not really" got me too. Dude was funny.

Oh my god. I grew up with Bargain Barn. My parents bought some garden hoses and a lawn mower on Bargain Barn. I didn't realize it was broadcast from Shawnee; I thought they were located in our town.
I'm not sure if "warsh" is native Oklahoman or not, but I've encountered people in both Oklahoma and Texas who say it (but my mom, who has a thick south Texas accent, hates it).

I think it may be just native rural-ish, as I've heard it in SW Ontario...

Oh yeah, that's Oklahoma or rural Texas for sure. All those Rs that go missing up heah in the nahtheast? They drift down to Oklahoma and settle right in the middle of "warsh."

Someone call Sarah Palin. This mad would be a great running mate for her presidential bid. Folksy talk and Jesus is King.

I'm with Zinger in thinking warsh is a rural thing. My mother and her sisters were raised on a farm in Central New York and all said George Warshington and used a warshing machine.

My husband, who grew up in Northern Oklahoma, identified the voice in about one second. I, too, have spent many hours watching Bargain Barn for the sheer entertainment value. Sadly, I'm letting the video run in the background because we love the familiar sound.

Naw, sounds to me like purdy pure Arkansawish.... up around Bentonville, where they train the Wal-mart announcers....
"Attayunshun, Wawl-Mort Shoppers..."

Ah got the chops to say this, 'cause Ah growed up in NW Arkansas.
