"Why ya wannado that?"

[@suzannemiller993]

He must be from south of I-70. Because Hoosiers north of that line sound like they're from outside Chicago.

[@Omoloya1]

Hoosier in NY, I feel you!!! I'ma Southern Yankee, and these ppl ROUGH.

[@M-hc9xm]

Oh, the quotation marks in cards ... My MIL does that all the time! My husband gets a laugh out of every single card.

[@phyllisarrington7436]

My folks said "Walmark"...and us kids laughed 😂 (Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina)

[@robylove9190]

We have Kroger's, & Aldi's so I totally understand Walmarts.

[@kcl060]

Very different style of humor, and he's hilarious! Love it!

[@wrighteousj]

The accuracy 😂

[@rodseay1005]

Well…. Not an inaccurate description of Indiana. You Sir have gained a new Fan. Also Perfect NYC accent!

[@kaimln]

Being from Chicago, I agree, it is not an inaccurate description. Many of us aspire to retire in Indiana. Love this guy too! My parents are older and I grew up here in a time when you added an "s" to every store. Phar-Mor = Phar-Mors etc

[@terryharding4185]

You're hilarious Luke!

[@emilythornburgh6660]

I live in Indiana!! 1. My mom calls Best Buy "Best Buys" drives me bonkers lol.. 2. Yes people say I have an accent.. even where I work (which is an hour from my house) say I have an accent! (I work in the city lol) 3. Yes we are passive aggressive! 100% We don't give a crap lol.

[@veenoir1991]

I live in Indiana now. I've also noticed some older people call the store "Lowe's" "Loals". And they'll say "truck stops"..plural lol. I've also been told I have an accent, and I'm just from in and around Detroit originally lol.

[@Green3ry]

@@veenoir1991 holy shit literally same, i came down to bedford from wyandotte back in like 2014

[@BloopMoop23]

“Hey you, glasses” nyc native here this is accurate lol

[@kneedeepinbluegrass3086]

Loving this

[@Lil-Britches]

I grew up a Jehovahs Witness the only reason so much of his comedy cracked me up. Also j love dry bar cause your truly funny when you don't have to swear.

[@musestarlight1]

Well I sure hope you found your way to Christianity 🙏

[@brianwestmoreland3836]

I'm in Indiana born and raised. Also raise Christian. He's not wrong.

[@callmecanolli322]

Enjoyed every minute. I wanna see more of this guy 😂

[@debradavid6150]

Oooó you talking about Indiana...I'm still here..lol...I got to visit Manhattan...so excited to be there...

[@mareezy]

❤him. He's 😂

[@robinmcintyre3472]

You, Luke Thayer, were Amazing; you killed!😊👍 All of my cousins, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles on my Dad's side haved lived in Muncie since the mid-1950's, and those who are still with us still live there. And while my immediate family being Jehovah's Witnesses, were the lone religious oddity of our clan, I can certainly relate & laugh at the accuracy of your experiences growing up Christian!😄 (Hey, at least You got to celebrate Birthdays & the other holidays, lol!😉😄) I'm adding you to my list of great newer comedians to watch; right along with Zoltan Koskas, Dustin Nickerson & others!

[@lloydcastleton]

Dude, my wife does that all the time adding s' at the end of words that don't need it 😂 and she's not even remotely from Indiana😅

[@justicejoycetv]

@1:50 *Same here. My siblings could be my parents. Its cool until everyone's too sick to help care for the parents.*

[@Nicole.ru.there765]

This is true. Our accents don’t make sense compared to where where located. Northern Indiana is little different. But I remember moving to Florida and kids in my high school commented all the time on my accent and I never noticed. Lol

[@markstaggs7342]

I love my home state and i love the way Hoosiers talk,I was born in southern Indiana but im a damn Yankee one hundred percent.The older Hoosiers i love to hear them talk its unique and i get the biggest kick hearing that Indiana twang talk.Born in Indiana and I'll die and be buried in the greatest bestest state in the whole union.

[@cherylcarlson3315]

He's right there is just something off about IN, had acquaintance that just didn't seem plugged in. Then there is scrubbed face, ironed button down shirts calling me ma'am even when passing me in shopping aisle and Mike Pence. Illinois isn't like that.

[@stephaniemaloney3650]

I'm from Indiana and we don't add an s to walmart in my neck of the state lol!

[@justinsmith847]

Awesome

[@tartsonawire]

Born and raised in southeast Texas, in Assemblies of God churches. I love this so much.

[@patrickmaline4258]

yo indiana 😂😂😂

[@idek1433]

Not maintioning warsher machines, robuts, and torlets seems like missed opportunity 🤣 but im from a pretty decently sized city and only 28 so the accent is a disturbing mix of Canadian southern and city slang everywhere in between its nuts here 😅

[@qww760]

I am in Indiana 😂

[@jordanhooley1024]

Luke and I grew up in verrrry different Indianas...No one has ever called it Hoosier Twang. Ever.

[@dnmehay]

South of Indy => Hoosiertucky. North of Indy => Michigan.

[@robinmcintyre3472]

Well, how long ago did you live there?😉 All of my Dad's family have lived in Muncie since the 50's, all still there. My Dad got laid off from Delco Battery in '59 so my family moved to Calif at that point. We visited most summers.. but my point is that I haven't been back to Muncie since '80, and no, I never heard anyone mentioning Hoosier twang, lol; but it doesn't mean it hasn't become a thing in the past 40 yrs.😉

[@dnmehay]

@robinmcintyre3472 Muncie is up towards the north of the state. Look, this isn't hard: Indiana stretches from the Ohio (Kentucky) to Lake Michigan (damn near Canada). There will be southern and northern dialects throughout the state. People don't magically all speak the same just because they live within the borders of the same state. (Cf. Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, etc. They all have an array of different dialects.) Go visit the boonies in Southern Indiana and report back.

[@idek1433]

Have absolutely personally referred to the Hoosier twang as a native Hoosier because I come from a city but we're closely surrounded by the boonies and we have at least 3 accents that switch up based on conversation and intensity but I'm also 28 and still live here sooo maybe a different experience

[@jordanhooley1024]

@robinmcintyre3472 I still live here. Grew up in the South Bend area and I live in Indy now. And yea sure there's a lot of wannabe cowboys but what I've noticed is that everyone's accent changes throughout the day even without drinking. It's Midwestern professional at work, Midwestern casual everywhere else and maybe a little "country" in the backyard given the circumstances but there is absolutely no unique accent to Indiana. Besides the Indiana Amish vs the Pennsylvania Dutch hahahahaha

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Really funny! 😂 Judas betrayed Jesus after the last supper though. Jesus said during the last supper one of you will betray me.

[@ericb5194]

I am normally tough on comedians, but this Luke Thayer is different. Thumbs up!

[@irandude1655]

If you don’t know the Indiana accent, just listen to Mike Pence.

[@jseymour1594]

He has inherited the mantle of Garrison Keillor!!! Quick, someone call PBS and have them sign him IMMEDIATELY!!!

[@purplelove392]

Dude, go to Times Square Church, especially when Carter Conlin is teaching.

[@mikelinniii1186]

Funny dude!

[@benwagner5089]

Harvest party was something I grew up with on the West Coast, but at least it was better than Luke's. All the carnival-style games like Plinko and Pop the Balloon. If anything, you get more candy than what you'd get going door-to-door, parents don't have to worry about strangers being weird with the children, so the kids enjoyed it walking around solo while the adults gossiped with each other.

[@thestocksource8393]

Never wanted to punch a fake mother in law so bad

[@AndieZ4U2]

I don't believe Floridians whistle more than one Winn-Dixie at a time.

[@triscuitpower7196]

We have Safeways where I live.

[@brandongovreau9218]

Jesus was a carpenter when he lived on earth

[@tanikacherieedmonds8848]

Ditto, I'm from Indianapolis and we NEVER sounded like that...make accurate jokes...it's probably just... you.

[@justicejoycetv]

You're also Black. Sister, Merriville, New Marion folks sound exactly as he stated. Basically anybody outside of Indianapolis and especially further South you go gets stronger. *Caught me off guard as a Louisianian*

[@BelovedBeliever75]

I live in the Northwest. I think it’s different here. We don’t add the s or take it away. No Hoosier twang up here.

[@girlonaswing9439]

More

[@leviyk7]

Don't be ridiculous, you didn't hold a door open for 9 years!! Nyc gets boys from Indiana more often then that. The truth is that in ny all doors are kept open by foreigners from Indiana and other places.

[@sweetpea775]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AJKPenguin]

These things spoken at the Last Supper aren't metaphors. Read NT Wright for starters and consider John 6, followed by Matthew. Otherwise pretty good segment here. And audience too!

[@pavolhorvath7850]

Fact-checking comedy?! Sweet!

[@geraldsmith7240]

Unfortunate Life Wasted 🍃

[@1erinjames]

So strange that no other religion is mocked. Hmmm

[@declamatory]

His glasses give him away. But, if one mocks the Talmudists, one will be called "antisemitic", but, one will NOT be called "liar"!

[@williambilyeu9801]

I believe him when he said that he was a special child. He probably rode the special bus to school for his special classes. That's the only type of person that would prefer New York City over Indiana.

[@dianakile8602]

Born and raised in Indiana. Never once heard anyone with a twang unless they migrated from Kentucky. Also NEVER heard anyone add an s to Walmart. Most of my family and friends detest the store.

[@dnmehay]

You've never been to the south of the state, apparently. Sullivan co., Sellersburg, Jeff, New Albany, Evansville, etc., etc.

[@johngeverett]

Well, that was mildly amusing...

[@brandongovreau9218]

I'm a liberal Christian 😎

[@bennetfox]

This guy wasn't very funny but I liked his shoes!!

[@sandywakefield7255]

You seem like a Backslider. And by the way that’s not Indiana. I’m from Indiana. And it sounds like Kirk Cameron’s movie had an impact on you. Lol. You still remember. I loved that movie too!!

[@JOMOPressureWash]

FALSE. Judas betrayed Jesus immediately following that supper. Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

[@AJKPenguin]

Technically he betrayed him with eating of the morsel.

[@buttacupss7495]

Blasphemy to speak of the Lord in such ways. May God forgive you 🙏

[@misfyresalot]

Sacrilegious isn't funny

[@battmannt]

Nice try......,.next

[@johnwyoder]

Don't know what part of Indiana this guy is from, but he's certainly not describing northern Indiana where I'm from. Also, he needs to hone his craft. A lot. He's only moderately funny at best.
