Homo-ba-phone? Obe-ma-Fob? D'Oh! Sax-A-ma-Phone!

The biggest offenders in my experience are:

"Go down duh screet tuh get some scrimps."

my daughter says Cindabrella. i think it's cute as shit.

I talk just like people on tv. no discernable accent. so there.

My husband says "acrost" instead of across, "melk" instead of milk, and "may-zure" instead of meh-zure. He does try to catch himself, though, to keep my teeth-grinding to a minimum.

Also, my stepdaughter calls it a "cell-o-phone," because clearly the word is supposed to rhyme with "telephone."

I third that one sista! (There's a reason I let that UT guy keep hangin 'round!) :p

when my kids were small, instead of saying clams they said clamps (as in, "mom, are we havin' clamps tonight?) I thought that was cute!

My grandmother used to refer to Vienna sausages as "vye-eeena." She also was very fond of "arsh" potatoes, which as near as I could tell were exactly the same as the just plain potatoes we ate at our house. It was years later that I finally figured out that the word was "Irish."

Oh, Pahonex. Gotcha.

(I find that commercial very, very annoying. Not spongmonkey annoying, but annoying all the same.)

My Grandparents had some strange pronunciations also. Of course my Dad's parents were immigrants which explains much of it. My Mom's parents, growing up in rural New England during the late 1800s, had hit or miss formal schooling.
Also, during that time a kid might have one maybe two teachers for the first 8 grades and their pronunciation became the standard.

The very first time you saw the spongmonkeys,(not the commercial) were you puzzled and a little bewildered? Or did you hate it right from the gitgo?
I think I watched it 3 times before I got annoyed. :)

I hated it right away.

I already thought the viking kittens were stupid, and recognized the style.

huh??? did i unknowingly rip that off from somewhere?

An ad for some delivery service had some guy pronouncing "Phoenix" as "Pahonex". Not a particularly good ad.

The viking kittens doing 'Run to the Hills' is funny. you normally have such good taste, wolf. ;)

i have never seen either of the commercials you're talking about.

Boston accents have always driven me nuts! (Ducks quickly in case anyone here is from Boston)

The Viking Kittens ROCK!
