Why Do So Many Americans Have American Accents? - Guy Montgomery - Stand-Up Featuring

[@TurnItOn93]

This seems like the kinda guy I’d like to sit down and watch Grown Ups 2 with for 52 weeks in a row

[@aliceinblunderland893]

Or Paul Blart 2 once a year

[@TurnItOn93]

He seems like a guy that knows that holidays can be real tough for families and you need turkey to your door right now

[@roberthammerling5970]

Wonder what this guy's up to these days? Where's he off to?

[@NickHunt]

I was gonna say what would happen if Owen Wilson and Matthew Mcconaughey got in that fucked up teleporter from the fly and became one person.

[@siddheshzadey9714]

That accent thing totally happens. When I first came to the US for an entire first month I was wondering why people aren't as funny as I had imagined them to be. Then I realized that I wasn't in a sitcom.

[@geigercourtier]

Imagine Americans going to another country and complaining the locals weren’t fulfilling their stereotypes. Sounds the stereotype of ignorant Americans doesn’t it?lol

[@ARF_average]

I'm hilarious

[@TCt83067695]

The lack of laugh track didn't tip you off?😉

[@erincollopy267]

i would have this exact experience in aus/nz if i ever went because all the australian/kiwi content i ever watch or listen to is comedy

[@gumborambo4540]

@@stephenlovelace9081 the "so thats all the types of wood" line killed me.

"And those are all the types of wood."

[@IATDOA]

ha, got real worried for him when he said what impression he'd do, but it all worked out in the end

[@RaymondGW]

Oh man, he nailed that one. I was worried, whew.

[@giareneeble]

RIGHT? I was thinking, “this very well may have aged quite poorly indeed.” And then I was PLEASANTLY surprised. I really like this guy. ...this Guy?

Why would you be worried

Andy Samberg in Parks & Rec! Haha all the yelling

Wow I was thinking the exact same thing

[@cassun603]

I thought it was a slightly muted Jim Carrey

Absolutely love guy. Seen him live a few times and he makes me laugh as hard as any comedian on the planet

[@joshgarrett6087]

I laughed so hard at the "Taking shorter baths" line, but the audience didn't get the joke.

[@spencer6874]

I didnt get it also. Can you explain plz

[@nastasyushkapetrovna5023]

@@spencer6874 You use the same amount of water with a bath no matter how long you’re in there; unlike with a shower (which is the advice to save water, take shorter showers)

[@markrobertson2052]

I'm sure they got it, it wasn't that funny.

[@bakunfase8672]

Well they are Americans

[@nirfz]

Not just the amount of water itself: the same energy is needed to heat that amount of water. Shorter bath, same energy, shorter showers ->less water and less water needs to be heated up -> less energy. (Unless one takes only cold baths/showers)

[@merveciftci9148]

did he even say anything in any way related to climate change?

[@jffryh]

oh he does talk about carbon footprint @ 5:35

I watched him on taskmaster nz, loved him on that and loved this small stand up, really love it if it could be longer.

[@Si74l0rd]

Guy Montgomery's GuyMont Spelling Bee is on KZbin, the whole series as one video. It starts off a little awkward, but by the second or third episode it roars along. He's a great host, and it's hilariously mortifying for the contestants!

[@delilahpearce5992]

I like Guy Montgomery he is funny 😆 post more of him please!!!!

Ive been listening to Till Death do us Blart for years, but have never seen what Guy looks like. This is exactly what I pictured.

One of my favourite 5 New Zealenders. Along with David Correos, Laura Daniel, Matt Heath and Paul Williams. I also love South African honourary New Zealender Ursilla Carlson.

[@AbiSaysThings]

Jeremy Wells in the mud

[@TarlaStar]

She's not an honourary New Zealander. She's a New Zealand citizen.

[@madeofmandrake1748]

So basically the cast of NZ taskmaster. Completely fair though, their version gives the original a run for its money

[@paetynlockley2143]

I'm from new Zealand and his accent still sounds like sandpaper to me

[@13tuyuti]

Is that a good thing to New Zealanders?

[@nzrobyn]

It stands out like dog's bollocks in a playlist of American accents, even when you've been surrounded by Kiwis all day. I still felt the patriotic urge to like the video as soon as I saw one of us on Comedy Central.

@@nzrobyn send someone funnier next time

Those impressions were spot on haha

[@SaraBanartist]

I also remember when I realized that depictions of Texas on television were not at all exaggerated... They're just LIKE THAT.

[@CrackaDon]

That talk show/ Trump joke was perfect. Just when I thought the words "Donald Trump" had been completely burnt out in comedy, BOOM, a flawless meta joke.

[@StealthyLiving]

Guy was a contestant on a show called, Taskmaster New Zealand series 2. I immediately loved it.

[@dopeaf7977]

He looks like a mix between Count Olaf from a series of unfortunate events and Daniel Tosh.

[@JTProductions3]

Guy Montgomery on Comedy Central! Hell yeah! Also that last bit usually goes for a lot longer

[@jackroberts2704]

The wood joke is especially funny, seeing as he cohosts a podcast with Justin Mcelroy, who just loves wood working.

[@jaredf6205]

Much shorter baths. Took me a second

[@Stygianstevedore]

Has taken me even longer. Could you explain?

[@DSAhmed]

American accent was spot on. Except for the word "been", he pronounced it "bean." In America, it's pronounced "bin."

[@annakepes8050]

Idk I say it more like ben

[@brianh.000]

I noticed that too. But, I give him the benefit of the doubt on that one--just a little slip up.
