Tim Wilson - Southern Accents

Southern comedian Tim Wilson dissects southern dialects.

[@shawncosmos5431]

Back in the CD days I had driven my 80ish year old fathers car back from being repaired and had left one of Tims CD’s in the player..My dad was well into his 80’s and heard the CD. ‘That fella Tim Wilson is the funniest guy I’ve ever heard in my life’ RIP Tim. RIP Pop..

[@pip12111]

It was truly a sad day when Tim passed away. RIP Tim.

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

Wow, first I see of the guy and I find out he died. Dang. :( RIP buddy.

[@deborahb45231]

So so sad to hear of Tim's passing. He was by far my favorite comedian to listen to on the Bob and Tom Show. He'd play one of his songs and I'd sing right along. Knew every word. My prayers to his wife and kids. A great talent.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

He sure made my drive back home from work each morning (third shifter) much better. He is irreplaceable.

We lost a good one. I’m so glad Tim gifted us w so many smiles and laughs. These guys & music really help me cope when life gets to be yucko. Seems a little easier to lace up my boots listening to B&T in the early am. And it’s awesome they release the shows on KZbin. ♥️🖤🗽🥇🥀🌹

[@diamonddave16]

“If we sell Louisiana today we could triple our money.” Lmao

[@sethroneen475]

Just read about his death. A great loss to the world of comedy. I was blown away at his command over all the different Southern dialects. I will always remember Tim as the voice behind "The First Baptist Bar and Grill". Rest in Peace brother!

[@UncleSpuddy]

WTF he died ?! Dammit just like Leslie Nielsen I hear nothing about it until months later! I don't if it's not in the news or if I have bad timing. His Northern Florida accent sounds just like my uncle, only he's from Ohio.

[@GoodAvatar]

Ravager JT Hey dude. Don't worry about it. I did exactly the same thing! "WHAT!!!??? He's fucking DEAD?? OH NO!!!!!!"

[@zacharyjarrells7084]

He didn’t have enough time to do his whole bit. For NC he said everybody talks like Andy Griffith. South Virginia everyone talks like Ward Burton (look him up) and everyone else sounds like Pat Robertson. Kentucky sounds like North Georgia, but his bit is tar=tire and tire=tower. RIP Tim, great comedian.

[@daniesahshele3179]

I was pretty good friends with Tim Wilson when i lived in Kentucky..he was always coming to my home and having a rip roaring time. Was very shocked when i found out about his passing..he was the life of any room he was in..we played some great guitar together and told personal jokes between us..you are sadly missed my man.! "RIP".Tim Wilson. The frankfort street gang and moms music will miss you.!

[@roosh2927]

This is the most southern dad comedy 2 minutes I’ve ever come across it made me laugh and feel uncomfortable simultaneously I love it

[@davecee4459]

This man was a comedic genius. I loved every thing he had done . I was kinda sick when I found out he had passed on ,but Now he is cracking up God.

[@Marashor]

Oh wee, that Louisiana accent sounds so good when he says "Bought that thang..."

[@raydevi]

Going to miss you Tim Wilson, RIP, just hearing your voice always put me in a good mood

[@SonicBoone56]

"Louisiana, it's basically a concrete bridge with water under it" LMFAO

[@ammohead73]

R.I.P. to one GREAT comedian!!! You'll be missed Tim :(

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I still miss Tim Wilson. He was a FUNNY MAN.

[@LeginNoslen]

It's been a rough ten years, I'll tell ya. RIP Tim

[@williamharvey329]

my heart is broken.I love Tim and will always remember him.r.i.p.brother of mine.

[@Banjomountain]

This is a very accurate analysis of southern accents!

[@jarwillnc]

A natural talent that will be greatly missed in the world of comedy.

[@poolshark021]

RIP Tim. This was always my favorite bit. A great example of his genius.

[@puregrace8]

My father is from the south. I love southern accents. :D

[@vinayakb5739]

HE MISSED TEXAS... tear drop

[@drivernjax]

Believe me, I have. But, I was in NE Florida in a little town called Hilliard. Now, THERE is a Southern accent. In fact, most of the smaller towns outside of Jacksonville have HEAVY Southern accents.

[@Finn-li8hz]

Southern accent was ranked the sexiest in America anyway

[@nadanpennu]

Omg yes! Give me a country boy any day 😍😍

[@samuelcolt1505]

In Arkansas it's the worst

ROSE I hate my voice lol it makes me feel uneducated

[@victhorpe7199]

Bailey Rose & Stella Bowker “brawl?” Drawl?

[@satoshikazami6958]

Bro not gon lie, the southern accent reminds me of a 55 year old guy from Alabama named Jeff with a cowboy hat, spiky boots, handlebar moustache, denim shirt with a pot belly and jeans so tight man looks like a chicken. I apologise if I have offended anyone

[@peterstagnut75]

Thanks Tim, glad I was able to meet you after the show a week and a half ago. You were every bit the gentleman I hoped you would be.

[@brewerboy]

Love his Mississippi accent! Yep, I'm from there!

[@bagbunny]

I'm from South Carolina, and I'll be damned if we don't sound just like that. He's got it down pat!

[@chrishill3590]

I know Tim has them laughing with that southern accent up there at the pearly gates...

[@JohnH20111]

gotta love the bit when Tim Wilson gives a shout out to Evansville, Indiana !!!!!

[@baldturtl]

We listened to him on the John-Boy and Billy Big Show... I always loved hearing Tim, always made me laugh just cutting up with the boys. Only the good die young. RIP Mr. Wilson.

[@Tetzzy]

funniest thing i've seen in a while lmaooo

[@barrybates5997]

R.I.P. Tim Wilson. I know that God has given you a Jet-pack to fly around Heaven with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@iansavitski3398]

Also my favorite comedian, so real, so true, a lot of people dont get his stuff. But thats their problem. Tim your the man! RIP!

[@williampoff3096]

I have heard this same cut when he does the Virginia accent, Ward Burton and Pat Roberson, HILARIOUS!!

[@momsher1]

RIP Tim - my condolences to his family.

[@astrofrk]

Let me help with Tennessee: Tennessee is three states and that is why we have three stars on our flag and three Supreme Courts (Jackson, Nashville and Knoxville) and three accents. West TN is somewhat like Mississippi but with a flatter accent, like the land. East Tennessee has a sharp southern accent, closer to western North Carolina and Eastern Kentucky. I live in Knoxville (pronounced as "NOxvul" by the locals). Nashville falls somewhere in between. West TN is the land of Elvis and flat land, Middle TN is the land of the Grand Ole' Opry and rolling hills, East Tennessee is the land of the Smoky Mountains and Hee Haw, true Hillbillies. The University of Tennessee is the only University on earth thats fight song includes a verse about moonshine.

[@DrZilla1]

Literally nobody cares about Tennessee

[@astrofrk]

Those that live here do and many others considering we share the most visited National Park in the USA with North Carolina. My guess is that you have never seen it. Over 9 million tourists and 11 million non-recreational visitors traveled to the park in 2010, more than twice as many visitors as the Grand Canyon, the second most visited national park.

[@DrZilla1]

Get over yourself, the only states that the country laughs at more than Tennessee are Alabama and Mississippi

[@astrofrk]

Why, because some Yankee troll wants to put down Tennessee? I LOVE my state, it isn't perfect but I have lived in 7 states throughout the USA and I like East Tennessee the best. I already explained that Tennessee is three states culturally. Knoxville held the 1982 Worlds Fair and few cities of its size can make such a boast. This is also where Peyton Manning played in college but I guess you never heard of him. At any rate, you are wasting my time.

[@tman040496tb]

DrZilla1 well we kinda are the birth place of American music from bluegrass, blues, rock, and country. Hell the only thing anyone else came up with is rap and that shit sucks dick. Also no matter if your in the west Tennessee plains, middle Tennessee hills,or the East Tennessee mountains it's one of the most beautiful states I personally have ever seen. So fuck off dude we don't need you.

[@lewcipher358]

Exactly what I needed tonight.

[@jbeesfilm]

The Alabama one is hilarious

[@Madcat151]

Rest in peace man. You made a lot of people laugh.

[@debrajacobsparkerson599]

Laugh out loud.. God bless Much love and respect

[@5lug]

rip man, made me laugh several times on the radio. first time i've seen your face.

[@sharongarrison62]

Well if Tim were alive today, I would tell him, that the Tennessee accent depends on what end of Tennessee, you're on. I have lived on both sides, so I got this thang all figured out...=D If you are in the East TN area, you have that long, drawn out, sweet as apple pie, southern accent, that just melts the heart...(Both, East TN and South Eastern KY folks, have the same accent.) We do a lot of that, "Well bless your heart." and "nasal talking" over on the east side...LOL! If you are in the Middle TN area, most y'all really don't want to appear to be from the south or at least you try to act and talk like you ain't from the south. Y'all get all proper and such, but that little twang in your voice, gives it away, every time. ;) Now, if you head on over to the West TN area, you have entered into the South again! LOL! The West TN accent just ain't as drawn out and nasal, as the east side, but still just as sweet as apple pie. ;) And that my friends, is the Tennessee Accents! =)

[@chrisstricklin2971]

I was gonna say that same thing.. I live around Jackson and you pretty much hit it on the head. its a shame that he couldn't do the TN one that well

[@galeexoden5422]

Nahhh I strongly disagree. I think you do have the more "standard" southern "sweet-as-pie" accent that you're alluding too, but in middle TN people can have this really aggressive "pushy" accent as I call it, where you try to "PUSH" all your words out, and can come off as pretty aggressive. Maybe that's just a Nashville thing. But I grew up in Nashville around people who speak just like they do in Appalachia. EXTREMELY southern and hillbilly, and it ain't pretty AT ALL. And of course it's like that throughout Eastern TN as well. That might be a class thing- poorer people have that "mountain speak" going on, while I find more well-off people have the more "pretty" and "aristocratic" southern drawl.

[@endersstare328]

I've learned that sometimes, all over the south, "bless your heart", can be a compliment, or it could translate into: "aww, he is that stupid"

[@sssinful]

Sharon Garrison I live in West Tn and you are so correct! I love my accent.

[@leedaniels2506]

I'm from Memphis & yes, you are right Sharon.

[@jaxbarnettprice]

I grew up in Statesboro, GA for 14 years. Which is a little bit in the Central part of GA not too far from Savannah. Everything I said was with a hard r. Still sound like that today haha

[@jamespaquin5496]

Tim RIP your my favorite and thanks for the laughs

[@barbfrmsf]

May he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@JasonM-dd6ih]

I work with someone from Alabama and I can say that this is very accurate! 😂😂

[@spud2ooo]

this is hilarious and love tim wilson

[@kylebaker4312]

See you on the other side, Tim. God Bless.

[@jacqueshock]

The southern accent stops at Gainesville? Guess he's never been to Okeechobee.

[@mikebobson2768]

You can definitely hear a southern accent south of Gainesville.

[@teddebeere3223]

I’m from central Florida south of Gainesville and it persists a little bit south of Gainesville but not much

[@perfectcell4308]

Half my family lives in Mississippi.He got the Mississippi accent DEAD on.It sounds just like my Grandpa.

[@aztekempire]

Wicked!!! That's I love the south about

[@chillygreene]

Hands down. THE funniest video... etc.

[@PhoenixSkywriter]

I'm from the North. Southerners are so cute :D

[@ShodaimeN]

Rest in Peace booty hunter :')

[@nicholasalexander4377]

I miss Tim so much 😞

[@yurismir1]

"that Indian woman on the Sacagawea dollar" You mean Sacagawea? :)

[@wylde678]

It's almost as if that was part of the joke.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

its very hard for people to do a Virginia accent. Its very lilting and has a slight British sound to it.

[@RIP3ooo]

May God rest their Souls in peace and give us the strength to bear the irreparable loss!

[@MaverickFlyBoy622]

I kinda sound like the North georgia one when im on my CB radio, even though Im from Michigan, hahahaha

[@leading4Him]

I grew up about 12 miles from Evansville Indiana, wanted to hear what happened...lol

[@pabalucci]

RIP Little Timmy Wilson!!

[@mikekashiasnotmyname]

I don't know about other parts of Alabama, but around where I live, everyone sounds exactly like that. Hahahaha

[@lucho93062]

Hello y'all! I'm just a colombian fellow who wants to improve his listening skills at black southern accent. That's the only particular accent in the english language that's giving me a little trouble, so do any of you guys know of any good tv programs/series or movies I could watch from that particular culture? Thanks.

[@arkee71]

im from arkansas...and its scary how much truth is in this!..lol

[@shawncosmos5431]

Tim could have had a whole other career being a voice actor for animated shows if he wanted. With the outfit he had on here he would have fit in fine on Yellowstone…RIP

[@roybeddington5108]

he got the north georgia one spot on because I have an unlce who lives up there. And many of the rest are the same

[@LadyAmberSailorEarth]

He got the Louisiana accent slightly.....but we don't need to be sold ;___;

[@HikaritheGreat]

Holy crap, I've never heard a comedian mention my town Evansville, IN. 0.0

[@cookingwithmissi5938]

Knoxville Tennessee over here I have the accent to prove it In Tennessee accents, the long I sound is the main feature of distinction It shows up here in my videos Lol

[@Austink1973]

Rip Tim

[@BigBingFan]

Wish you would have included Texas in the mix; part of the Confederacy, and the far East of the State, is cotton country, and timber. Lots of sleepy, little towns, and is very much the "Old South." Fort Worth, "Where the West Begins," is a noticeable departure from "The South," though there are traits--as one drives West from Fort Worth, it gets considerably more nasal, flat in accent. East Texas near the Arkansas and Louisiana border is the "Deep South," although in Texas, ,instead of the drawn out, "You All," we just say, "Y'all." We tend to shorten the expressions....and one noticeable item is that Texas was it's own Republic, when we joined the Union, and had a different breed of cat in Texas--people wanting the "wide-open spaces," Cowboys, gun-toting folks who were far from the Sheriff in the country, so very independent of a Central Govt, and "the law," so we were wide open, free, and such, and it's uncanny really, that about Fort Worth, the "South" is ending, and the Western influence is merged with it, to form what people recognize as "Texan." (With so many people from the North coming to Texas for low taxes, And no State income taxes, less regulation--it's changing the accent, dialect, and UNFORTUNATELY along with Illegal aliens streaming across, changing the culture and turning less and less into a purple state. Oh well........the language is still very much visible, especially in Eastern part of Texas--"The Old South."

[@another90daystochangethis34]

Texas is that state on the map marked in stripes because no one agrees if it's officially part of the south.

Wished he would’ve included me and us down here in Tayucksus. He would’ve done it better.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

I realize we do. My argument was to someone who said anywhere north of Lynchburg Virgina is a northern accent. That isn't true. I hear people from Culpeper and Warrenton. They don't sound like Northerners. In fact, you can hear a southern dialect as far north as the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. It becomes seriously diluted once you reach the DC suburbs, however.

[@nottawaygarage3683]

Gonna miss

[@calebpratt1915]

How far north does the Southern accent go? I live in south-eastern Ohio and a lot of people have a kind of a mumble when they talk and their "R"'s are harder,such as myself but most my family is from Kentucky

[@RandyLeftHandy]

Nobody just says Kroger down here, you go to Krogers, and the Wal Marts.

Paula Deen was born in Albany (All-benny), Georgia (Southwest Georgia).

Heighnoni I grew up in All-Benny. I correct people who pronounce it any other way. Especially my kids. Lol. Also, you know you're from GA if you say House-ton county, not Hewston (Houston)
