Taliesin Jaffe on Accents

Taliesin Jaffe on accents at ONI-Con 2013 in Galveston, Texas. I know there is a tiny skip in the video, but my camera was messing up.
One of the fans asked a question about which accent was his favorite at his panel "Why the F**** am I here?".

I need him going “WHORES!!” As a ringtone ... it’s funny as fuck

[@gabrielnovakk]

ok this whole history thing gives me such immortal cryptid vibes because he's just so comfortable with the information

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

It's because he talks like he was actually there. "We did this" and "They did that" when he's not even talking about his own supposed ethic group. He talks now like someone who's been hopping sides for hundreds of years and "we" and "they" is just about which side he was on at the time.

Sama Faultner it’s because he was there

[@zyderman2050]

He did not deny that he is a pyramid.

[@SatyreIkon]

Oh Taliesin. I hope he never loses his talent for great tangents. I could listen to that man read the Amazon user interface items and would be satisfied, but the fact that he also has such a talent for telling you interesting things in an engaging way... pure bliss.

[@connorduquette1432]

He should do drunk history.

[@sparklegemrose]

Yes!

[@camiart_casual]

"I got this and we're not gonna hear SHIT"
This man is the best. We need a billion history teachers like this, please!

[@EredarLordJaraxxus]

As a Welshman, I am impressed with Taliesins Welsh accent!!!! I think he's mixing up with Irish a little but still not bad!

[@EredarLordJaraxxus]

Oh hello fellow 2021 pyramid friends.

[@leemenke3694]

As a minnesotan i love hearing other people do northern accents, i wish we talked like that

"New Orleans filled w 2 kinds of ppl, it was really fascinating..." Being there. To experience it first hand

[@jackcrowley2640]

There's regional DIALECTS, and then there are accents. The former is word choice, verbiage, tone, pacing, syntax, etc, but the latter has more to do with the muscles associated with speech (and sometimes signing.) One can be relearned, and the other has to be actually, physically worked on. Big difference!

[@TheLoboXD]

holy fuck I was there! I remember this was on Sunday right before onicon closing down. his whole speech was amazing.

[@spudsbuchlaw]

Yes, Talesin, Tell me how to do an "Irish" accent

[@ShuuyaOni]

That line at the end for Welsh phonics is a line from Max Boyce!

[@nuriocristino2888]

What the fuck did he say?!?! I really don't understand and I would like to know.

[@PGT860]

"Twenty of us went up in a bus to go up to scotland to see the game, only one of us got to see the game and he saw it from jail", roughly. i missed a few words but the auditorium makes it hard to catch.

Something i never understood Soda and Pop are general terms for softdrinks coke, mountain dew, peps, Dr.pepper all fall under those categories a coke is a coca cola and shouldnt be used in broad terms for all softdrinks and cola should only be used for cola products like coke cola pepsi RC Cola ext aka dark drinks derived from the cola nut

[@robertpettengill9024]

It's treated the same way that "Band-Aid" is, where the most popular brand takes over as the title for most related products

[@VijoPlays]

That happened with Nintendo as well. They had to un-promote calling consoles Nintendos, because it devalued the brand.

[@SilverScaleMA]

Well both cola and soda were terms used long before major brands became a big thing. Even coke was used too as a term for a kind of flavored soda water (specifically a soda tonic with cocaine that was pretty popular back then), Coca-Cola kind of just took the idea and ran with it.

So new orleans has the worst possible make up of origins
