out of curiousity...

... is this funny to anyone who has never lived in Newfoundland/met a Newfoundlander/heard anything at all about Newfoundland culture and/or accents? Because I dies of it, b'ys.

(I work with people very much like the ones in that video. They hate me because I speak in sentences.)

In unrelated news, I lost my ChatRoulette-ginity the other night! I saw 44 dicks. But not all at once. I later learned that Michael Cera goes on CR fairly often, which worries me because dudes, what if Michael Cera has seen a dick? I don't know how I would deal with that. It is hard enough to deal with the fact that he has one. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he has a beautiful daffodil blooming between his thighs that weeps when it sees a sunset, or something.

ETA: I have been informed that the proper term is not "I dies of it" but "I dies at it." Newfoundland slang has rules, yo.

A+++, would lol again. This is kilometers better than most of what's been on metaquotes lately. FYI.

(Actually, it was more of a delighted 'Aaauuughhh!!!' than an 'lol', but you get the gist. You have just made my day a frillion times better, dude. And I am reading one of your fic recs, which is helping too.)

That video.

Oh my.

I am totally biased, because my mother's BFF is from St. John's and, ah hell, I'm a Nova Scotian. We're not that much different.

People in said video remind me of my father and his brothers, a bit (although *they* were raised in New Brunswick and PEI).

As someone who has never lived in Newfoundland/met a Newfoundlander/heard anything at all about Newfoundland culture and/or accents, it's funny to me in the way that I can tell it's directed at a very specific cultural stereotype? So, amusing, but it would probably have more of an effect if I could relate to or knew what traits were being exaggerated.

I showed this to Adam, and he would. not. stop. laughing. And he apparently knows the dude who made the video? And now he won't stop fucking talking like a Newfie. Which he is.

And now we're talking about what would happen if Picnicface did one of their Chatroulette nights and Michael Cera showed up in it.
