New Yawkas have the most confident US accents — think this Joe Pesci line
Do I amuse you? The Big Apple boasts the most confident sounding accents in the US, a recent study found. The unique tone, marked by dropped 'R's, shifted vowels (like coffee becoming 'caw-fee') and tough talk — often thought of as a specific Brooklyn or Bronx sound, is particularly associated with working-class, multi-generational New Yawkas. 5 Actor Joe Pesci's had roles with memorable New York accents. Getty Images Think Joe Pesci's 'Funny how' in 'Goodfellas' and Chazz Palminteri's iconic 'Now youse can't leave' in 'A Bronx Tale' — or anything Fran Drescher. 'There's a rhythm to it that cuts through small talk and its placement and resonance tends to sit further forward giving it a brighter sound — which tends to resonate louder in most spaces,' voice coach Molly Parker told The Post. 5 Fran Drescher's New York accent is part of her brand. Ron Adar/Shutterstock The distinctive New Yawk City sound, Parker said, is attributed to its quick and punchy flow and unfiltered nature — traits in the accent's musicality associated with confidence and assertiveness. Brooklyn-born stand-up comedian Elyse DeLucci calls it passionate. 'I think it's the force with which the words come out of the mouth,' DeLucci tells The Post. 'New Yorkers, we speak almost from our diaphragm. It's very confident sounding. You know, we walk into the store and we're like, 'How you doing?' You walk in like you own the joint.' DeLucci, who hosts a podcast called 'New York Tawk,' described her accent as 'nasal, raspy…. almost a little masculine at times' but said 'it's a diehard New York accent for sure.' 5 DeLucci was not surprised the New York accent was found to be the most confident. Helayne Seidman Answering Service Care picked the brains of more than 2,000 Americans for its study. To no one's surprise, the Southern accent — most commonly associated with Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia and South Carolina — was found to be the most charming. 'The Southern accents tend to have a slower pace, musical intonation, and warmth in their vowel sounds, which could evoke friendliness or approachability,' said Parker. 5 Piper no! America fell in love with Posey Parker's character – Victoria Ratliff's South Carolina accent on White Lotus. Stefano Delia/HBO America was certainly charmed by Posey Parker's snotty North Carolina accent in White Lotus ('Piper, no!') and Matthew McConaughey's 'alright, alright, alright' in 'Dazed and Confused' is still part of the American zeitgeist more than 30 years after it made its debut. But researchers also found the Southern twang is becoming extinct in younger generations, as people from all over the US flock south, particularly since the pandemic. 5 McConaughey's Texan accent has charmed Hollywood for more than three decades. Getty Images for IMDb The Hawaiian accent, meanwhile, was found to be the most soothing – highlighting its melodic, laid back and welcoming nature.

New York accents are hated by a majority of Americans — and a shocking number of New Yorkers, too: survey
New York's distinct accent — the one that brought us Joe Pesci's defensive 'Funny how?' in 'Goodfellas' and Fran Drescher's thick 'Oh, Mr. Sheffield' from the sitcom 'The Nanny' — is rubbing a lot of Americans the wrong way. Nearly 60% of Americans say they find the accent annoying, according to a new survey by Podcastle, an AI voice platform. And it's not just outsiders who feel that way. Advertisement 6 Fuhgeddaboudit! Nearly 60% of Americans say the iconic New York accent — think Edith and Archie Bunker of 'All in the Family' fame, as played by Jean Stapleton (left) and Carroll O'Connor — is straight-up annoying, a new Podcastle survey says. CBS /Landov A surprising 45% of New Yorkers agree that their own accent is grating. 'How we speak and how others hear us can shape everything from trust to how we connect emotionally. This survey shows just how much accents matter, not just in daily conversations but in the kind of content people enjoy and even those they find attractive,' said Podcastle. Advertisement Only 10% of Americans say they trust someone with a New York accent. In contrast, folks with a Southern drawl were deemed 256% more trustworthy and 232% more appealing than New Yorkers, the survey found. 6 How we speak, and how New Yorkers like 'The Nanny' star Fran Drescher (above right, with Roseanne Barr) speak, shapes trust and connection — even attraction, Podcastle said. 6 Even 45% of New Yorkers admit their accent is nails-on-a-chalkboard, per Podcastle. Podcastle Advertisement 6 Brooklyn-born Steve Buscemi (right, with director Tolga Karaçelik last month in NYC) might not be thrilled with this survey. Getty Images Michael Newman, a linguistics professor at Queens College, told Fox News that the classic NYC accent is fading — but it's not going away anytime soon. 'Some of the features that have been traditionally associated with New York City English are diminishing,' he said. 'What's being lost is the final 'R.' You get in the 'caw' and you go to the 'baw.' It's now 'car' and 'bar.'' Meanwhile, a Guide2Fluency study previously found New Yorkers' accents aren't just annoying to people — they're baffling to artificial intelligence systems, too. Advertisement According to the study, AI assistants like Siri and Alexa struggled to understand New Yorkers' 'caw' and 'baw,' with AI algorithms ranking the New York accent the second hardest to comprehend. 6 Just one in 10 Americans trust someone with a New York accent — think Pete Davidson (above left, with Jon Stewart). Meanwhile, Southerners came off as 256% more trustworthy and 232% more charming, the survey found. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post 6 Cardi B also offers as a thick-as-the-South-Bronx accent. Getty Images Still, some say the sound of New York is the sound of home. 'None of us as New Yorkers really want to sound like we are from somewhere else,' Newman admitted.

23 Actors People Thought Were "Too Old" For The Part, But Nobody Ended Up Caring Because They Killllllllllled It
Recently, Reddit user sKullsHavezzz asked the question, "Which actor was too old for the part but nobody cared because they were so awesome?" The good people of r/moviecritic swiftly responded with some A+++ answers. Here's what they thought: 1. Joe Pesci in Goodfellas (1990) — Age: 46, Playing a 17-year-old through to a 28-year-old "Other than being much older than his character Tommy DeSimone ("Tommy DeVito" in the movie) was in real life, the real Tommy was also a hulk of a guy, like 6'4", 250lbs. Pesci had to come up with an amazing performance to make himself as menacing and terrifying as he could. He nailed it, too. He's scary as fuck in this movie." — doctor-rumack Joe Pesci won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1991 for his role as Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas. His acceptance speech was famously short with only five words: "It's my privilege. Thank you.". 2. Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny (1992) — Age: 48, Playing a 35-year-old "Marisa was 28, and he was 49 (probably 48 while filming), but throw on a hairpiece, and he looks like a cute person in his thirties. We never find out how old Vinny actually is, but based on his background in the movie, he would be around 35 to 40 years old." — RyzenRaider 3. Shirley Henderson in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) — Age: 37, Playing a 14-year-old Warner Bros. "She played Moaning Myrtle, a teenage ghost who haunted the bathroom in the Harry Potter films when she was almost 40 years old." — Anaisli 4. Alan Rickman in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) — Age: 54, Playing a 31-year-old "Alan Rickman was more than 20 years older than Snape should've been." — Enge712 5.

Alan Ruck in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) — Age: 29, Playing a 17- or 18-year-old "Ruck being older probably helped in his performance.

Bing Crosby in White Christmas (1954) — Age: 51, Playing a 30- to 40-year-old Courtesy Everett Collection "It's a classic holiday movie, but honestly, he was too old in real life to portray his character in that timeline. He would have been nearly 40 if he got drafted into WWII and was older than the General in real life…yet they treated the General like a father figure to him and Danny Kaye. LoL" — CosmicOutfield In case you're wondering, Danny Kaye (Phil Davis) was 43 years old, Rosemary Clooney (Betty Haynes) was 26 years old, and Vera-Ellen (Judy Haynes) was 33 years old. 11.

And finally, Cary Grant (again!!) in Father Goose (1964) — Age: 59 Courtesy Everett Collection "He was almost 60 and romancing Leslie Caron, who was 33. It's still a great film and it works, but it was the last time Cary Grant played the romantic lead. He only made one more movie, Walk, Don't Run before retiring." — CalagaxT What do you think?
