      You have a good point.

    He's got a bit of a country accent. Nothing like his stage accent but I would guess he's from the south.

      I'm from the south, he doesn't sound southern. He sounds midwestern. Which makes sense, I believe he's originally from Nebraska.

      Well people from the north can hear the southern accent in him more easily bc it stands out to us...same as his northern/midwestern accent in his voice would stand out to you.

    Anyone calling him a "liar" or a "fake", keep in mind that until recently the majority of stand-ups were playing some kind of character. George Carlin used to do characters. Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, Andrew Dice Clay, Roseanne, Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Dennis Leary, etc, etc, etc, were all doing some kind of character. It's NOT unique to Larry The Cable Guy.

      It’s an I-29/I-35 accent. Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma. The KC city folks don’t have it as much, but you get a little bit out of town and it’s just like that.
