Frivolous German translation question

^ That’s actually pretty funny.

Das ist mein Ernst!

:smiley:

IIRC, Roseanne (in the sitcom of the same name) also had a Bavarian accent.

That just reminded me of good old Poldi “Ich will Dir fressen

I’ve noticed something similar coming the other way: apparently Japan has its own regional accent that denotes hillbilly hayseeds. Frequently a character in an Anime will be voiced with such a accent as a quick shorthand way of giving their character.

When the dub those anime into English, it seems they almost always give that character a Texas accent.
So if you are watching a dubbed anime, and there’s a character with a Texas accent, that’s supposed to tell you that they are stupid. Which hardly seems fair to Texas. :wink:

To bad… them Redneck are just to smarts

… and we’re not supposed to make political snide remarks in this forum… darn.
