So I vote for East Coast, in particular the Guido/NJ accent.

I know there are different accents in these areas, like Chicago is different than Wisconsin, Louisana is different than NC, and Boston is different than NJ.

Had to keep it streamlined.

 
How the hell is Boston the same choice as NY/NJ?

I would vote for Boston hands down.

 
Chicago is annoying, but Jersey is worse. At my daughters field hockey game last week and one of the visitors moms has that Jerseyish accent going. I wanted to go grab some tape to shut her up.

I know...You could have like 20-30 options. Philly, Boston, NY, NJ, Maine... all different, but have some similarities.Same thing for southern states.BTW... why do some from the east coast not pronounce the 'h' when it occurs at the beginning of a word (like 'uman' instead of Human)

Mexican?
 
Listen, I get that the NY/NJ/Boston accents can be annoying. I grew up in that region.

But, let's be real here: are you telling me that the Keanu Reeves, "whoa, dude, chill out, I know kung fu" accent is LESS annoying then any other accent? I can't stand the surfer dude thing, it's the least listenable accent out there. Keanu could tell me the answer to life, the universe and everything and I don't think I could listen to it, even if he spoke with the utmost concern for brevity.

California Skater/Hippie should be winning this thing in a landslide.

Also, I don't know how you could find the Minnesota accent, even the strongest version of it, so grating. It's all soft sounds for chrissakes. And it's not like they murder the English language like the Jerseyites do.

That all said, I stand with Chair on the Cali accent. It has a lingo, mindset, and everything else all built into it.

I've never been to the Northern Midwest before, but if the movie Fargo gives an accurate portrayal, than I most definitely find it to be the most annoying accent in America.

I grew up in MN. The Fargo accent is the FAR extreme of that accent. Most of the time it sounds like the mother from Bobby's World.
 
I lived in NJ for 38 years, though in the southern region. I have a very neutral tone. No accent detectable. I'm told this every day by multiple people. I have whats known as a newscaster accent, as in I don't have one. I've worked on this because I hate it.

I can't stand the NJ/NY/BOS accent. Actually, I have a hard time separating the accent from the attitude associated with it. Maybe it's not the accent I hate, but when I hear it I inwardly cringe.

I'm the same way with the MN accent. I lived in AZ during the summer with my dad and I had to get rid of the accent quickly when I got there each June because I got made fun of. When I got back each year in August I couldn't believe my ears. I literally just trained myself to speak properly.
 
I think it's hilarious that the people consider "California skater" a comparable accent to the Midwest or Northeast accents. After living almost all my life in California, I've met maybe a dozen people who had a noticeable "surfer dude" way of talking. Why it's even in a poll like this is just strange.

Granted, the California Skater/Hippie accent impact is less on the general populous then the NY/NJ/Boston accent - I'll give you no argument there.That said, that does not make the California Skater/Hippie accent any less annoying, when encountered. My vote remains unchanged.By the way, what type of accent could one expect from someone called "McJose"? The possibilities seem endless...

The worst accent in the US has to be southern Californian. They all sounds like complete ####### idiots.

Easy there, Ringo. At least we speak English as we take the apples and pears down to the lorry with the trouble and strife.
 
Is it just me or does a southern accent make a guy sound like an ignorant redneck from Deliverance while making a lady sound sweet & sexy??

Only accents I find annoying are Jersey, redneck, and that valley girl/high school girl type accent. Oh, and that Jim Rome type accent that's sort of halting where sentences are ended abruptly, that annoys me.

OK. I should have included valley girl in the Cali option. SoCal airhead surfer/valley girl burnouts.
 
I'm surprised the Northeast doesn't have more votes than it does. Lots of people not from there think that it's an ugly accent and people from there are all voting for the other people from there.

Try going to court in the south, listening to a southerner making a good closing argument in a complicated fraud case. :mindblown:
 
I gotta agree with everyone else, NY/NJ is the worst.

Although there is one small region which even eclipses that - Rhode Island. I am not sure what is going on there...it is some hybrid, leaning heavily toward a brooklyn accent, but with some mutant addition. Kinda like spraying Glade after dropped a wicked grumpy in the bathroom.

 
The Boston accent is the most tarded accent in the country. Makes people from down the bayou sound like Enya.

Broads love it. They hear me talk and they feel like they're watching a movie. Pants generally fall off within a couple hours. :shrug:

Not even remotely humorous. You have 3 guys from Boston telling you chicks love the accent. Do you think we're all lying? I live out west chicks are literally like "ZOMG, I LOVE the way you talk" :erectnipples:
