What is Pinky's accent?
Kim Robarts
It's British, I know - but, like Wakko has a clearly Liverpool accent - so
what about Pinky??

Pinky is from Virginia, I tell you!!! Just listen to the way he says
house!

Because of my infinite experience within the field of accents and
dialects, I feel the need to inform you that Pinky is quite definitely of
English decent, specifically of the county of Yorkshire. This accent is also
sometimes referred to as cockney.

: actually I worked with one over this last summer. Quite a beautiful
: young lady named Pippa, but that is another story. It may be.
G'day.
I can't believe that there are any Australians anywhere calling themselves
'Pippa'. Sheesh. Sound like someone from a crappy soap opera set at a beach.
(We invented them, you know. Yippee)
Anyway, Pinky is definetly _not_ Autralian. I had him pegged as a Brit.
Rural area somehwere I suspect. Any locals care to comment?

Not me! And I live in Texas.

in other states do in their TV ads, since they can't crow about being in
Texas?
Seriously, if you see enough Texas truck ads, you'd think they didn't even
make trucks in any other state!)

Be a Texas native and being forced to suffer living in Iowa to go to college
I can testify that the only Texas and some of Oklahoma have trucks. The
rest of the nation relies on imitations!!!

Pinky's accent, while Cockney-ish, isn't. It's one of those heavily
stereotyped accents that we all know and mimic. It's much like the
"German" accent, "Bond-speak" (Yeah, like you don't ever do it...), or
"Australian" (The recent Simpsons episode ought to throw that into sharp
relief.)
Annoyingly enough, it's also like the "Canadian" accent. I do _not_
speak like that. Really pisses me off, eh?

You mean they do?

Having known famous transplanted net.aussie Peter da Silva for several
years, I can verify that he, at least, does not sound like the stereotypical
Aussie. Yes, there's an accent there, but it's quite mellow. Dr.
Scratchansniff is another case in point: I understand that, in the German
version of the show, he's played with an Austrian accent. I can't begin to
guess what kind of an accent Rob uses when playing him in English, but I
suspect it's neither Austrian nor German. (How many of you from the US even
knew there was a difference? I sure didn't.)

[un]Fortunately, the stereotypical Texan accent is based in considerable
truth; having grown up in Houston, my voice is quite identifiable as Texan,
even though my accent is mild as Texas goes. (Ya want thick? Talk to someone
from the piney woods of deep east Texas.) That has been a feature I've been
proud of, actually, but it does make it difficult for me to do Yakko's voice
well.
