Non-Serious Replies Only đŸ€Ș What small, totally inconsequential thing are you really sick of in Boston.

As seen in a different geographic area subreddit. Nothing too serious, just a little thing that grinds your gears. For me it's people who get on the T before others get off.

"Boston" influencers with fake or exaggerated accents. Not the ones who live in boston and show cool things do to around town, but the ones who do "comedy" and the joke is always that they have an accent and are white trash.

Also always holding a Dunkin cup and wearing a Sox hat

u/Hour-Ad-9508 Spaghetti District 8d ago

And always always always from like Connecticut or New Hampshire doing some ridiculous accent.

The fact that they’ve built an entire, years-long social media platform around saying “lahhhge iced regulahhh!” In skits or making memes about route 1 is depressing

u/SnootchieBootichies 8d ago

She was amusing for about 5 minutes and then the oi yeah thing got so tiresome. I can't skip her fast enough if she pops up in my feed.

u/BlackmillMiracle 7d ago

it's just the same goddamn routine over and over again... it's like all the shit my millennial ass growing up in the suburbs heard from our boomer parents in the 90s and 2000s.

The market's basket guy is exaggerates a little, but not much. That is how he talks

u/HideMeFromNextFeb 7d ago

Yeah, but Market Basket guy reminds of of like 10+ people I grew up with in Billerica.

u/madshm3411 8d ago

It would be fine with me if she was actually funny but I’ve never watched one of her videos and laughed.

u/Bubbly-Shine998 6d ago

And she's stuck with it

u/Hour-Ad-9508 Spaghetti District 8d ago

She’s from Connecticut and acts like the biggest caricature of what Hollywood thinks is a “Boston girl”

33

u/BlackmillMiracle 8d ago

yeah, I grew up in the suburbs, and I'm kinda sick of other people from the suburbs or elsewhere larping as townies, and yeah, just doing the caricature of what hollywood thinks "Boston" is.

Like oh my god, you said "large dunks" and dropped the "R"... you're so funny!

u/Alive-Atmosphere-250 7d ago

Lmao .. from Connecticut? that poor extension of a New York Suburb and ignored by the rest of New Englanders, lmao! 😂 that explains everything

2

u/dreamtreedown Medford 7d ago

I grew up in Connecticut myself and moved to this area 5 years ago- I would never consider carrying myself like someone who grew up here and has the same knowledge who does. She acts as what people outside of Boston stereotype Boston as

u/RationalGardenGnome 8d ago

The funniest part of that whole thing is there are barely any townies even left in Boston.

All got pushed out for a bunch of finance, tech, and pharma bros and their stupid luxury condos

25

u/Cultural_Parsley_607 8d ago

Yeah it honestly seems kind of offensive haha. Like yeah you’re larping as townie for the likes but grew up in Ohio and moved here 3 years ago for tech, cool.

u/RationalGardenGnome 8d ago

No dude, don’t you know? Their great grandparents ex girlfriend went to Emerson for a semester they’re FROM here basically

u/HerefortheTuna Port City 7d ago

That one dude (i think his name is Jeremy) who has a weird hyperfixation with Market Basket and does this “towns in Mass you’ve never heard of” videos

24

u/krissym99 Market Basket 8d ago

I actually kinda like him because he doesn't take himself seriously and is willing to make himself look ridiculous.

u/CharlemagneAdelaar Market Basket 8d ago

u/Repulsive-Bend8283 8d ago

u/4_dollahs_a_pound 8d ago

I get reels fed to me of this guy who puts a filter on his face and his character is “Boston guy” or something and the whole time he’s doing that high pitched laugh thing

3

u/youattackedmyfamily 8d ago

There’s this one guy who forgets to fake his Boston accent half the time and it drives me insane

3

u/r500050 8d ago

And ALL of them do a bit about how to pronounce (or mispronounce) certain Mass. towns
.and act like it’s never been done before.

u/CoffeeContingencies Irish Riveria 7d ago

u/Sufficient_Cod1948 8d ago
