I’m so surprised someone asked him to do a Corpus Christi accent and he knew it
Im from corpus and he did good lol
From Corpus. Awesome.
dude right? didnt expect that one
Oh, it was right? So cool.
That body o christ hit
He deadass did a corpus accent
CCbeast got me dead he was spot on 😂😂😂
That's so cool. I didn't know which of the Texas ones were good or not.
@@kikic.6950 For real
Oh man... I'm from corpus. Dead on
Whe he said "Dallas" he sounds like every male news anchor in Dallas.
Dallas Bank Robber facts
Dallas Bank Robber like every anchor come out of anchor school what's gonna get a anchor job.
sounds straight up like Pete Delkus
so true! i’m a Dallas native so I was hoping he’d do more. very funny though.
I’ve lived here for 23 years and I deff say Dallas that way
I really liked his different Scottish accents, but I LOVED the Mexican vs. Cuban accents in Spanish. Fabulous! Plus, his Spanish sounded good and was grammatically correct. Kudos, Fred!
I´m mexican and he´s waaaay off. Still enjoyed it tho
His Mexican sounds a little Dominican... in any case the "x" is too much on an "h" instead of a "j"
lebastar depends on what part of Mexico. I have family that sounds like that. BUT, that’s just the accent portion, the pronunciation was a little off and sounded as Marcela said, more Dominican.
His Scottish was poor at best.
Didnt sound Mexican to me
Damn. As a Texan myself, his accents are right on. Especially Dallas and Amarillo.
My GOD!!!! I grew up in Houston and Fred really hit the nail on the head! I never realized we have such a lovely whisper to our accent 😍🤣😍🤣
As a Houstonian . . . he did well.
Youseph Karouni sure did
Houston is made up of a lot of foreigners and non-natives. You hear the least amount of Texas accent anywhere in Texas.
Most of us here don't pronounce the H though: "U-stun." Then the prison gang took it to the next level and made it "U-stone."
Mirrorz H-Tine
Everyone in Houston prounounces the H it's just a soft H except for in Humble where it's simply Umble. New york is really bad about saying howston
Coming from a Texas native from Dallas “this is pretty darn good”
As a Texan this is amazing and I want to hear more Texan accents:)
I have never heard anyone differentiate, much less nail the different Texas accents.
Is there an El Paso accent?
@@squatch545 I think an El Paso accent is probably just Spanglish
Fred Armisan never fails to impress. A humble yet brilliant and talented comedian.
im from houston, TX and YES
I'm also a native of Houston and I did not think his Texas accents were correct in the slightest. And, Houston is more serious than Dallas.
Eh. I mean I couldn’t speak nuttin but Texas, but it was aight.
Lellobeetle probably just the people were there around you
I'm also from houston and I vote NO
Depends on what part of Houston, but I live in Fort Worth so what do I know?
I can’t believe how accurate the Corpus Christi one was.
His Edinburgh accent is on point, but his Glaswegian really does sound like someone trying to do the accent and it comes across more Shrek-like.
Wait a minute, Shrek doesn't have an authentic Scottish accent?
No, it's Mike Meyers repurposing the accent he did for this short-lived SNL sketch called "Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly".
Glasgow sounds more like somebody from Forfar. A bit like saying 'Belfast' then doing Limerick. Not too good
Aye the Glesga is a bit daft
The way he says 'wider' is what gives it away. It sounds completely eastern. I know because I live in the North East and for years I've been hearing that pronunciation. For Glasgow it needs to be said as 'wiyeeduuhr' not 'weydeur'.
I can watch Fred Armisen all day
His Latino impressions- 😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍
My moms from Glasgow she came to the USA to South Carolina in the 70’s. So I can say the accent is pretty spot on. He did great on all the accents.
Nah it's no really, it sounds more like an east coast accent or one outside of Glasgow. He's got a good Scottish accent though!
Fred is awesome. A treasure.
I’m from Corpus Christi, TX! Wow. A rare mention.
He hit Texas right on!
Omg, the surfer edge to CC. I live here and he totally nailed some of the surfers I know!
All these people criticizing and nitpicking and I'll bet most of them couldn't even come close to hitting the mark with these accents. The man is talented and his attempt at all these accents is impressive. Jeez, do you people realize how many accents and dialects there are in this world? Who the hell can do a spot on impression of any and all accents on request? Give a little credit and stfu.
Wow. This guy’s a freaking wizard at accents, wanna know how he does it? Can imagine him being in his room just learning each city of the world via tape recorder. Repeating each syllable en rote! I’m an actor and learn accents regularly and it’s bloody hard. 😂
Southern California sounded a bit like John Wayne in the end.
Listen, we all know Fred is a freaking lovable genius, so this vid is just another great example.
I’m Texan and this is accurate 😂😂
Incredible. Even his observations on Spanish are spot on!
It helps that he's part Latino (his mom is originally from Venezuela and he was raised in Brazil for a time. Even though Brazil has Portuguese as its main language, there were probably a nice chunk of Spanish speakers living there).
to be fair, the mexican sounds a little more like puertorican or central american
I love you and your talent, Fred Armisen!!
I'm from Corpus and have lived in Austin for ages. Both were dead on.
Born and raised in Austin and I say "fun" like that, although not as exaggerated as that. He's crazy good
He must have done a really good job with Dallas, because I couldn’t even tell that he was doing an accent during that part it sounded so normal to me. He also did a good job with Amarillo- reminded me of my relatives that live out there.
His explanation for not doing Jamaican was hilarious lol
What most people don't get about Fred is that there's a huge amount of "put on" in what he does. If he doesn't know an accent, for example, he'll just fake it, then he'll throw in a few specific details to sell it. It's all done with a wink and a nod. It's like he's saying, "I can't believe they're buying it."
Exactly! I recall seeing another vid of him, where he got caught off-guard and was stumped. I don’t remember where he was, but he actually said, “I can’t do that one!”
@@heidimsw It was where he couldn't do Jamaican on Conan's show but it was for the reasons he described on this show
@@joeking5679 Yes, I went back and watched the old vids and I saw that one.
WOW!!!! That is amazing.
Damn the Dallas is spot on. Sounds just like my family
After living in Massachusetts for a short time, and calling back home ( Wisconsin) First time I heard our accent, it floored me, drive back a few years later and could hear the difference between Millwaukee, Madison and La Crosse, Love the Scottish Accents
He hit Corpus right on the head. Perfect.
I'm from Houston and I didn't really notice that we talk like that but we do 😂
He's really so good. Take a vow Fred
I think he's done this cleverly, he's mastered or least has a very good grip on all the accents from regions that he could feasibly come from if you just saw a picture of him without hearing him speak. He could feasibly come from Scotland or Russia or Germany or Australia but it's amazingly hard to believe that he's native to Vietnam or Jamaica
Fascinating and entertaining skill.
Literally the best
Fred Armisen is wonderful!!!!
His Australian accent is good. I’m Australian and usually with Australian impressions it’s like - Wha-a-at that sounds nothing like anyone I hear in Australia.
I wholeheartedly love fred going back and forth mexico and cuba
Man this guy is amazing
My mom was raised in Houston when she gets mad or says my full name she kinda whispers it and yells it at the same time lol
He is amazing😃
Master of his field. 🙏
Amazing.
He is amazing!!!
He can't do the accents exactly, that's not the point anyway. Just like with all the characters he does, he's giving you his take from his memory on a certain idea about the way someone talks. The reason it's funny is because his take on it is skewed, just like anyone's would be. He just gets closer to real thing than most people.
Exactly, Matthew! 😊
ditto. it's a tongue in cheek comedy bit but he does it w/ the seriousness of Andy Kaufman. It's a pulling your leg type thingy.
Well, yes, basically he does tge show, he entertains ). But what a hell. ))))
The Glasgow accent was defintely off, sounded more like he was from Fife. Still pretty decent attempt by American standards.
The fact that Marc Maron even knew about corpus makes him my new favorite comedian
Omg he got us in Houston spot on!
A GREAT TALENT THIS GUY
Wow that Melbourne nuance was remarkable, I live here.
Wish this was video was longer, he's so good at impressions, it's fun to watch.
it's a staple of his talents as an impressionist. he does it a lot.
have fun: ua-cam.com/video/8uwYo_M_I5Q/v-deo.html
He does a stand up bit where he has a large map and he does a city from every state lol. It’s so ridiculous 🤣
Fred Armisen is easily the best impressionist and accent expert I’ve ever seen
Have you have seen a movie with Daniel Day-Lewis ? Gangs of New York...There will be blood...Last of the Mohicans...Lincoln. Different period American accents... but he is from London, lives in Ireland.
*TEXAS!!!!* those were all spot on omg lol!!!
when I first watched this years ago I didn't know who Tig or Marc were... now I'm huge fans of both and am like holy shit they're all in one video, I've got to see the whole thing!!
Absolutely nailed Corpus Christi.
Brilliant.
Just awesome 😂🎉🎉🎉
I'm from Houston and he was pretty accurate!!!
The dude is amazing
That's pretty damn good!
Born and raised in Dallas and have lived out west. Armisen is a fucking genius.
OMG! He's fantastic haha
He’s so good lmao
I love Fred😄
1:46 that joel osteen accent lmao
Fred is a genius !
Houston accent is whispering because it’s so hot and humid here it’s hard to get the words out...
Fred is a true artist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I came here after doing a search for an impression of Tig Notaro. Still not disappointed. Some day maybe Kate McKinnon will do one.
Veeeery good.
He’s the best.
I like how nobody in the comments gets the bit.
Well, you can get the bit and also think he hits some of them right, no?
Everyone in the comments gets the bit, lol.
Fred is a genius.
That cuban accent thougghhh
These Texas accents are impressive
Omg Dallas is spot on
From Houston area all my life but traveled all over the state, and honestly it’s hard to say if he sounds correct since it sounds like an impression. You’d almost have to be an outsider who listens to a lot of Texans talk to say it sounds right. To me all his other impressions sound spot on but to people from those areas he may not. Californians will always be hilarious.
I can’t believe he brought up Amarillo! He’s spot on, by the way.
Vietnamese is startling when they hit an "ng" and do that hard "guh" sound.
So clever...😃👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The accent in San Antonio (my hometown) is influenced a lot by the military presence there, along with the Hispanic population. So, the accent in San Antonio is almost non-existence (well, to me anyway HAHA!). My sister has a strong San Antonian accent. She says, "Thank YEW!" and I tease her about this. But it's slower rhythm wise. People here in south Texas can usually tell if you're from north Texas, West Texas, or East Texas. North Texas is, as you say, more "serious and business like". West Texas has the strong drawl, and East Texas is more "southern." But, of course, I love hearing these accents since it tells me that you pay attention to people and since I love my state, I love that you pay attention to the people here.
I lived in Michigan for 18 years and noticed how the accent there seems heavily influenced by the Irish who settled there in the 1800s. The accent there is very nasal too and I tried to imitate this way of speaking. I notice, for example, that they say "hunnerds" instead of "hundreds" and "avery" instead of "every." I can always tell if someone is from Michigan.
His Texas impressions are spot on. As soon as I heard each one he so right.
Casey Halbgewachs I disagree. I was born and raised in Houston, but also lived in the hill country for 10 years. I thought his Dallas accent was the only one that was close haha!
to the people commenting on the accuracy of his accents:
he's making them up
Thadius Sean false, he’s a trained actor. They have dialect coaches and everything. He knew the difference between Glasgow and other Scottish accents.
King Kebo of course there are some differences, but that’s not the point of his joke. The joke is that he’s convincing large numbers of people that he’s an accent wizard. He’s actually just using a stereotype of the people of a given city (“loud”, “reserved”) to convince large numbers of folks that he’s really doing what he’s claiming he’s doing.
😂 brilliant
anyone else on a Fred Armisen rabbit hole?
The Dallas one was on point
How is it racist to do an impression? Either you can make fun of everything, or nothing. All that being said, Fred is freakishly talented
bloody hell...his switch from Glasgow to Edinburgh and back again was on the f.....g nose
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. That is a small percentage of Orange County residents.
The moment that austin accent starts you knows hes watched Slacker 😂
Mara Folse or had a Shiner Bock with my neighbor.
Yeah Yeah Yeah. He just keeps discussing discussing discussing the accents than actually speaking them. He just does a word or two and the audience bursts into applause.
Excellent Spanish accents!
Sydney and Melbourne are spot on
He nailed Austin
