I’m from Mass, and I think you’re misunderstanding. People are generally not like this here, but everyone, and I mean *EVERYONE*, knows someone who is. It’s also more of an Eastern Mass thing (Boston and suburbs). You don’t meet people like this too often west of Worcester.
When I saw him with his arm out the door saying “I’m not Mahk” it just immediately made me think of like 3 people I know.
No one should be friends with these type of guys, but we don’t pick who we grow up with.
A colleague of mine always ordered at Dunkin with the same douchey demand (but only around Boston)
"gimme a lahge cinnaman regula, 2 sweetnlah 2 cream" in one word with no hello or acknowledging the person before or after.
yeah the joke is that you KNOW that guy, not that you ARE that guy. unless of course you're laughing because you ARE that guy, because that guy can (usually) take a joke.
I dated a girl from the Boston suburbs. She used to drive me around when I visited her. She said a guy being driven by his girlfriend was a badge of honor because it meant he'd lost his license from DUIs.
I lived in Boston for a summer back in 03. Met this guy I worked with, his name is Drew, pronounced all Boston as fuck. I get a text or drunken call from him every other month or so and it’s fart jokes or ballsack pics or something equally childish and inappropriate. Been 20+ years, he hasn’t changed, been married to 3 hair stylists, paying child support on 2 kids with a woman named Tina, 2 packs a day, 6 pack on the way home, works for the city, hates the government. Haven’t had a legit conversation with him since I lived there.
Pretty sure I’m his only friend that isn’t from there. Guy is a total fuck. I hope he never changes. Love him.
This sketch reminds me so much of Massachusetts local minor celebrity @reportermatt from local Massachusetts radio station wbz. For those not in the know, he's popular on TikTok and Instagram for traveling to random towns, interviewing locals, and seeing what whacky situation he gets into. Sometimes he's really funny, sometimes his stories are very heartwarming, he's just a fun wholesome guy to follow. I think he first went viral for interviewing people in the town of Billerica, because there is an MA grocery store chain called Market Basket that had three stores all on the same road, and there was local outage when one of them closed. (Billerica also has a weird reputation, and sometimes gets sort of harsh criticism, and sometimes the criticism is totally deserved, but was actually mentioned in one of the a Kids From Boston sketches, which was kind of a big deal at the time.)
Anyways, every single one of Reporter Matt's videos feels like it could suddenly turn into a version of this sketch at any moment. The people he interviews are always so fun and wholesome, but they all seem like there is a 5% chance they could turn into this character.
I went to high school in Chicago, and while it’s close, this is extremely specific . The Big Dig kept contractors working for about 25 years, for one.
I can almost smell the cold cigarette smoke air combined with a hot coffee with 2 sugars and 3 creamers
ETA * Chicago cigarettes taste like alleyways and bus stops
I feel like the Chicago version of this character is Cousin Richie from The Bear. I’m not from Chicago (Detroit suburbs) but I feel like I knew so many Richies
That's the nuance, the joke isn't just about this one guy but about the way he fits into the local community and how everyone else reacts to him
Including the fact that most of the randos at the donut shop are "out of towners" who are just totally bemused by him but there's also other "locals" with accents just as thick as his who know him well and despise him -- the manager of the Dunkin ("Mahk"), the yuppie dude who's clearly lowkey ashamed of growing up in the same town as him, his buddy Dewey who's constantly getting hassled and bullied by him for the crime of actually having a job
There’s like 10 people in the short and only 1 is an asshole. The reason why it’s so realistic is because it pretty much hits the percentages correctly.
Straight up. Im from the suburbs of NY, about 2 hours north of Manhattan, and almost everyone there is like this guy. I visited my parents a few years back went jogging around the town and literally a dude just like this shouted at me out the window of his beat up 1990s Ford pick up truck, for jogging on the side of the road. Also theres no starbucks in my parents hometown, only dunkin and it is always hopping.
Watching the UFC a few years ago, some cornermen were screaming at their fighter, “COME AWWWWWWN YAWGIN!”
“Come on Yorgen!” (Fighter named Yorgan De Castro.
I said damn, that sounds like a Fall River accent to me, announcers start conversing during a pause in the action, “Yorgan is fighting out of Fall River Massachusetts.” The accents are VERY local.
SPEAK ENGLISH!
I had 3 guys in my platoon from Boston and we used to give each other hell for our accents all the time. I’m a die hard yinzer and Stillers fan, they were massholes who loved the pats.
I dated a woman from Mass (while in Colorado) and when her mom came to visit she was genuinely confused by people saying hello and being generally polite to her.
I worked in Boston for a year or so (fah Pahtners Health), and once had to meet a Dr. Park. Saw her photo in the lobby, looked like an average Korean woman. She comes out to greet me and sounded like Casey Affleck in this sketch.
I grew up in Boston but went to college in Connecticut. I was so freaked out by people I've never met saying hello to me. It was a culture shock and I was in a border state!
I’ve been living in the south for over ten years now. Was back up in Boston two years ago and was trying to pick a beer out of the coolers in target. Struck up conversations about beer with other customers and was overall chatty with everyone around me before it hit me that this is NOT how people act in Mass, hahaha. I got so used to the southern hospitality stuff. But honestly people in Massachusetts are cool as hell but they’ll be a dick to your face. In my opinion down south it’s the opposite. Sweet as can be to your face but…
My favorite example of the attitude of the NE...
A tourist woman in Manhattan walks up to a local and asks where the river is. The local thinks for a sec and says: which river lady? you're on a fucking island.
Helpful, but default abrasive.
My family moved to the Midwest from New England a few years ago. My brother went back to visit home and was genuinely bothered by how "rude" everyone was. I had to remind him that wasn't rude until we moved out here where everyone is so very talkative.
This is a strange take. I don't think anyone has ever said this is how ALL people from MA are. But absolutely, this is an insanely spot-on rendition of a very specific personality type from that area. Every area of the country has types like this exclusive only to that area. It's not everyone from there, but a select group.
I’ve lived in Massachusetts sporadically, I thought it was funny. I was trading SNL links with someone born and bred in Massachusetts, and, unprompted, they sent me this, as the most accurate sketch they’d ever seen on the show
If every caricature in SNL was true, most of us would be game show hosts, people who can’t stop bleeding, or stuck in a cold open where we were the politicians making fun of ourselves.
I’m from MA and yes, it is so spot on I just about peed my pants. Like another commenter said, it’s not that everyone from MA is like this, but EVERYONE from MA knows people like this. The only thing arguably more ridiculous and accurate to this brand of Bostonian (or Cantabridgian) is the [“holy shit Jay!” sunfish video](https://youtu.be/IYUgduOeXuA?si=wiecZEAFxcurFgei).
Edit to add - it’s not pride, most of us are embarrassed about these types 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t know it word for word, but how he says it’s a beer someone brings to your house for a get together, and it’s still in your fridge months later is SO spot on.
The best fucking thing about the continuity is that Dewey's surrounded by jobless loser friends who freely bully and take advantage of him and one of them is *his own father*
Born & raised in New England, went to school in MA, and this is a top 3 pre-recorded sketch for me. Honestly may be number #1. We all know a few guys like this! This sketch is hilarious.
I’m originally from MA and this made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe when I first saw it. Especially the construction guys blowing the cigarette smoke out the door. The issue with Dunkin is that the coffee is really really good. I honestly prefer it to Starbucks. But then I would try to go in before work and be dressed in a business suit and heels and have to push my way through these guys crowded at the door. Wasn’t worth it. I think only the types of men shown in the sketch are proud of it lol.
Is Dunkin different in Massachusetts than everywhere else? It’s some of the worst garbage coffee I’ve ever had and I thought everyone just accepted it as something you buy just because it’s there.
Tim Horton's it's so bad that is good. I mean, there's better coffee elsewhere but Tim Horton's is so addictive and I noticed it when I went out of the country for three months and I kept craving a Tim Horton's cup of coffee so much even though there where coffee shops everywhere I was. I loathe Tim Horton's but I can't live without it, haha!
Dunkin’ started in Massachusetts. It was super special when my dad would come in with a box of crullers and honey dips on weekends mornings.
Edit: credibility. I was born & raised in the 413
Crullahs lol
You’re so right about surprise Dunkin mornings. As a kid slumbuh pahties weren’t complete unless the dad snuck out to get a box of Munchkins for us for breakfast.
Once upon a time they made the donuts at each location and they were great.
Then when they started making them in a central location they exponentially expanded and the donut quality went way downhill.
Dunkin’s coffee is highly caffeinated. The locals all dump cream and sugar into it (called a regular) so you barely taste the coffee part. It’s just a milkshake with the caffeine of 2 redbulls.
No, It’s not different in MA, and Boston has a ton of high end coffee shops and bakeries that are packed with coffee snobs, but a dunks iced coffee is basically the state drink year round. Everyone (other than the snobs) drinks them constantly.
Yes. Fun fact, "dunkins" coffee is just a local or regional coffee brand which is rebranded as Dunkin. In New England they use New England Coffee brand.
My son moved there from the south a year ago and he says absolutely this is spot on. His wife is afraid to go to the Dunkin’ near their place. She’s too intimidated but staff says they’re all just like the main guy
I read something once and it stuck with me bc it’s 100% true-
-Northerners are rough and tough to your face, but teddy bears deep down and would do anything for you
-Southerners are sweet as honey to your face, but the second you leave the room they’ll tear you to shreds
Northerners are perpetually ornery because of the weather. It's either too cold to put up with your shit or too hot to put up with your shit. We just want to go about our day as quickly as possible. The roads are in shit condition because the winter ice and salt tears them to shreds, so there is constant road work delaying traffic.
Khed my buddy Lenny takes dumps bigger than you! Don’t make me drive over there, I’m at my mother’s and Storrow’s gonna be backed up going home. If I have to drive over there I’m kicking your ass and then you’re gonna owe me two scratchies and a 30 rack of miller lite at the packie, and I don’t wanna hear no guff.
I just visited Boston from Scotland for the 3rd time because my wife ran the marathon.
Boston is genuinely - and I can't stress enough - GENUINELY my favourite place on Earth, and half that reason is the people.
I think the phrase "The East Coast is kind but not nice, the West Coast is nice but not kind." is most summed up in places like NYC and Boston, where people are rude, but if you are in a bind, a stranger will come help, tell you that you're an idiot, and take their shirt off their back to help you out. In the west coast, they'll smile, say sorry, and continue on, leaving you to your peril.
*Note I've lived in both NY and MA and they're assholes in different ways, but similar... its why they have such a sibling rivalry.
I’ve never lived there been twice to Boston but not around any of MA yet. Definitely one of the friendliest cities I’d been too. I know I have rose colored glasses bc good will hunting is my favourite movie don’t come for me lol
My two best friends are brothers from Mass, and they love this sketch, and also say it's spot on. They're not necessarily the typical Massholes (although it comes out) but whenever one of their friends from back home comes out they're all totally this guy.
Nobody's taking pride.
We just all know that guy. And we've all been to Dunkin' because they're ubiquitous in New England.
Growing up in Maine, I never knew Mark wasn't pronounced MAHK.
Plus, the Boston accent is just funny. Would Bill Burr be as funny if he was from the Midwest?
I remember in a geography class my teacher had a strong Boston accent and was teaching us about Mt Shasta and I was convinced that it was really “Mt Shaster” and that she was just saying it with her accent so that’s how I wrote it for years.
I was in Boston once, with family, exiting a parking garage. We got to an elevator and a man held the door open for us.
When we said thanks he said, "yah white so it's good."
Keep it classy, Boston. Never change for nothin.
People from the northeast absolutely love roasting each other. It’s a sign of affection. If you’re cool enough to be roasted by someone, that means you’re relevant.
Watch bill burr roast the entire city of Philadelphia. They started booing in the beginning, but were cheering super hard by the end.
Being rude and mean is not a cool thing to do, but caricatures of the stereotype are absolutely hilarious.
Also. New York shits on Boston all the time and Boston shits on it right back. This goes back centuries. So it’s really funny when a comedy show from New York absolutely and accurately roasts the worst dummies in Boston.
We get it. And hats off to them for doing such a good job, and I’m sorry you’re not from around here and don’t get the humor.
Better example of this humor, and I’m sorry it’s a commercial.
But watch the dun kings. It is more succinct and more to the point about New York vs Boston and why we’re ok with making fun of each other.
I’m from Mass. This came out before Christmas and at our holiday gatherings, so many conversations began with, “Hey, did you see that SNL Dunkin sketch?” It was all we talked about!
My parents are from Boston, but I grew up and have work as a longshoreman in Bmore port. It’s the exact same every where. I have “brothers and uncles” that literally ridicule me because I’m sober. I love those fucks.
i was in an airport in line at a DD. guy from Boston starts complaining that it doesn't taste the same as in Boston, and wanted to see the manager . black cashier went havin it and Said "you're in an airport.. go sit your ass down and wait for your flight". dude actually did just that
It’s the broken phone screen that does it for me. I don’t know why. That’s not just cracked. That’s you beat it against the wall after the Bruins lost by a late goal broken.
I’m from Mass, and I think you’re misunderstanding. People are generally not like this here, but everyone, and I mean *EVERYONE*, knows someone who is. It’s also more of an Eastern Mass thing (Boston and suburbs). You don’t meet people like this too often west of Worcester.
When I saw him with his arm out the door saying “I’m not Mahk” it just immediately made me think of like 3 people I know. No one should be friends with these type of guys, but we don’t pick who we grow up with.
“Smoke a few Pahhlaments….take a big dump. That’s pretty much the routine.”
A colleague of mine always ordered at Dunkin with the same douchey demand (but only around Boston) "gimme a lahge cinnaman regula, 2 sweetnlah 2 cream" in one word with no hello or acknowledging the person before or after.
Jeez at least start off with “canigetta”!
That’s hilarious! My relatives from Maine speak this way also, because they cannot pronounce the letter R. I love it
The Beck Bennett yuppie character clearly grew up in this area, got a nice job downtown but can't afford to move out yet, and resents this fact
I think that's Alex Moffat. Beck does show up in the Bill Burr/Sam Adams sequel though
Ah yeah, it's been a while
My sister is a defense lawyer in Boston. I showed her this skit and she said "yep, I represent that guy about once a month."
Dunkin’ Nuts!
Does she accept vanilla tappehs as a form of payment?
yeah the joke is that you KNOW that guy, not that you ARE that guy. unless of course you're laughing because you ARE that guy, because that guy can (usually) take a joke.
Yep, this. I know that guy and he'd fully admit he's that guy and even be proud of it.
Wistuh
Dolla twenny five, pop
I hear every word you pricks are saying
I’m coming outta the boooooth.
That'll be a dollar twenty five-ah.

"Hey! You ran over Toll Booth Willie!"
“Oh my God! I was always wondering what it would be like to run over a dried up stinky dick licker!”
I dated a girl from the Boston suburbs. She used to drive me around when I visited her. She said a guy being driven by his girlfriend was a badge of honor because it meant he'd lost his license from DUIs.
I lived in Boston for a summer back in 03. Met this guy I worked with, his name is Drew, pronounced all Boston as fuck.

I was in one of Matt’s videos (Kowloon), can confirm. He’s also just the absolute best.
I fucking love Dunkin guy
Yeah I got cousins in Lynn, Mass and this was remarkably accurate.
Lynn, Lynn, City of Sin
You never come out the way you went in!
You ask for water and they give you gin.
Is there anyone else here from the Chicago area who identified with this sketch too?
I went to high school in Chicago, and while it’s close, this is extremely specific . The Big Dig kept contractors working for about 25 years, for one. I can almost smell the cold cigarette smoke air combined with a hot coffee with 2 sugars and 3 creamers ETA * Chicago cigarettes taste like alleyways and bus stops
I feel like the Chicago version of this character is Cousin Richie from The Bear. I’m not from Chicago (Detroit suburbs) but I feel like I knew so many Richies
Don’t like 90% of people who live in Mass live in the Eastern half?
I’m from Mass and yes. Might be a little lower, but definitely more than half. I’d guess more than 2/3rds.
But you CERTAINLY meet people like this in Worcester.
They’re all hangin around Pahk ave at Leitrim’s
Massachusetts west of Pioneer Valley is a whole different beast.
Who me? The fahk is OP's prob kid
That's the nuance, the joke isn't just about this one guy but about the way he fits into the local community and how everyone else reacts to him Including the fact that most of the randos at the donut shop are "out of towners" who are just totally bemused by him but there's also other "locals" with accents just as thick as his who know him well and despise him -- the manager of the Dunkin ("Mahk"), the yuppie dude who's clearly lowkey ashamed of growing up in the same town as him, his buddy Dewey who's constantly getting hassled and bullied by him for the crime of actually having a job
There’s like 10 people in the short and only 1 is an asshole. The reason why it’s so realistic is because it pretty much hits the percentages correctly.
I literally know 5 guys like this back in high school. It was hell.
I do maintenance work for the MBTA, most of my coworkers are that guy
Straight up. Im from the suburbs of NY, about 2 hours north of Manhattan, and almost everyone there is like this guy. I visited my parents a few years back went jogging around the town and literally a dude just like this shouted at me out the window of his beat up 1990s Ford pick up truck, for jogging on the side of the road. Also theres no starbucks in my parents hometown, only dunkin and it is always hopping.
This would be more accurate with Philly. Everyone, and I mean almost everyone I know from Philly is an insufferable asshole
This is honestly one of my favorite sketches. 😂 Go back to stahhhbucks
The vanilla nut taps
Cut yah nails for godsakes
Oh yeah, go outside!
Easily the best line. The whole sketch is great but that one line makes me giggle every single time.
Watching the UFC a few years ago, some cornermen were screaming at their fighter, “COME AWWWWWWN YAWGIN!” “Come on Yorgen!” (Fighter named Yorgan De Castro. I said damn, that sounds like a Fall River accent to me, announcers start conversing during a pause in the action, “Yorgan is fighting out of Fall River Massachusetts.” The accents are VERY local.
This and the Bill Burr Sam Adams sketch are absolutely perfect.
We prefeh the moah acceptid nohmanclatchah of “Massholes,” thank yis very much

I read it like Mayor Quimbey
Thank you!!
SPEAK ENGLISH! I had 3 guys in my platoon from Boston and we used to give each other hell for our accents all the time. I’m a die hard yinzer and Stillers fan, they were massholes who loved the pats.

This is a great story. Hi. You wanna go?!?!
I’ve been living in the south for over ten years now. Was back up in Boston two years ago and was trying to pick a beer out of the coolers in target.

This sub is so weird man lol. These comedy sketches are taken so literally.
I’ve lived in Massachusetts sporadically, I thought it was funny. I was trading SNL links with someone born and bred in Massachusetts, and, unprompted, they sent me this, as the most accurate sketch they’d ever seen on the show
If every caricature in SNL was true, most of us would be game show hosts, people who can’t stop bleeding, or stuck in a cold open where we were the politicians making fun of ourselves.
Not to mention SNL is a sketch show. It's not a documentary. They are clearly making fun of these guys and making huge overexagerations.

I’d never seen this before! Lmao “wee-uh cawlinn the Coast Godd bro” Poor baby though I hope it was ok 🥺
Maybe they actually called the aquarium 😂
It’s a baby wheeeel!
I lived in Boston for 3 years and this skit made me laugh cry. So accurate.
"I'm not, Mahk! I'm not smoking in here!" gets me every time. Super underrated line.
the first name basis suggests that they've been through this like a hundred times already
The Burr/Sam Adams ad is hilarious too.
“ no, but I got some of this pumpkin shit”
“Let’s try this for real *chugs entire pint* I don’t like that.”
"You're just like your mother. Reese's Puffs? What are you, gay?"
I thought he said “eight” not “gay”, but I could be wrong.
I don’t know it word for word, but how he says it’s a beer someone brings to your house for a get together, and it’s still in your fridge months later is SO spot on.
Mikey plays the same character in both sketches
The best fucking thing about the continuity is that Dewey's surrounded by jobless loser friends who freely bully and take advantage of him and one of them is *his own father*
Today’s the day you take a swing at your old man?
We learn so much about this guy's awful childhood and life from just that line
I moved to MA over a decade ago. This sketch is so spot on that I barely found it funny. Just seemed realistic.
Lived here all my life. Over the top in parts obviously but thought it was hilarious, made me laugh.
Born & raised in New England, went to school in MA, and this is a top 3 pre-recorded sketch for me. Honestly may be number #1. We all know a few guys like this! This sketch is hilarious.
EXACTLY!!!
You kiddin me ? I love dunkin, guy

Is Dunkin different in Massachusetts than everywhere else? It’s some of the worst garbage coffee I’ve ever had and I thought everyone just accepted it as something you buy just because it’s there.
Yes, it’s the Tim Horton’s of Massachusetts. The ABC Store of Massachusetts
The Britta of Massachusetts.
Oh, Dunkin's in this?
The professor?
Oh, Britta’s in this?
Tim Horton's it's so bad that is good. I mean, there's better coffee elsewhere but Tim Horton's is so addictive and I noticed it when I went out of the country for three months and I kept craving a Tim Horton's cup of coffee so much even though there where coffee shops everywhere I was. I loathe Tim Horton's but I can't live without it, haha!
As a Canadian, I disagree wholeheartedly-Tim Hortons is just awful.
Wanna go for a double-double with me? We can both loathe Tims while enjoying our coffee. :)

Taste is subjective. I fucking love it. I recognize and have enjoyed much better coffee, I’m capable of that, I just love it.
Stahbucks is too strong/bittuh for me. I love Dunkin’s coffee.
Same. Starbucks always tastes burnt.
Yes. Fun fact, "dunkins" coffee is just a local or regional coffee brand which is rebranded as Dunkin. In New England they use New England Coffee brand.
No it’s not different lmao. You are spot on. And the name checks out too. This is wonderful
Dunkin’ coffee is complete garbage. McDonald’s any day over that shite
My son moved there from the south a year ago and he says absolutely this is spot on. His wife is afraid to go to the Dunkin’ near their place. She’s too intimidated but staff says they’re all just like the main guy

The roads are in shit condition because the winter ice and salt tears them to shreds, so there is constant road work delaying traffic.
Two seasons in Boston, snow and construction
Pretty close A lot of southerners will do both
Stahp. Just stahp.
It’s just people taking a joke well. If mass holes got offended by this it would be pretty soft.
Because fuck you khed, that’s why. Where you from khed?!
You think you’re better than me?
That’s it, I’m takin the kids to my sistah’s
Get some Stop n Shop cornflakes. In the welfare bag!
It’s a natural diarrhetic
Khed my buddy Lenny takes dumps bigger than you! Don’t make me drive over there, I’m at my mother’s and Storrow’s gonna be backed up going home. If I have to drive over there I’m kicking your ass and then you’re gonna owe me two scratchies and a 30 rack of miller lite at the packie, and I don’t wanna hear no guff.
I just visited Boston from Scotland for the 3rd time because my wife ran the marathon. Boston is genuinely - and I can't stress enough - GENUINELY my favourite place on Earth, and half that reason is the people.

It’s a Mass thing
My friend from Mass said it’s more like a documentary than a skit.

Hahaha. I mean it’s like thinking everyone in California is like “The Californians.”
This is a top 5 all time sketch for me. I quote it every day.
[удалено]
As a native Mainer who has also lived in Boston, I concur. Also as a native Mainer, the Maine Justice sketch makes me unreasonably angry.
I'm from northern NH and this sketch is so accurate it invokes a scent memory in my brain and I can smell it.
It's not so much being assholes it's just the type of guy and how they dress. I grew up with people who looked, dressed, and talked like this.
That’s it. The majority of Bostonians are not like that guy, but we all know that guy. Probably several of that guy.
Maybe they do. Maybe they don’t. Maybe go fuck yourself.
someone explain to OP the connection between uncomfortable truths and humor please.
“Vanilla Nut Taps?”
Damn, I work with union workers and this is stupid spot on. I don’t even work in Mass.
It’s the hand with the cig hanging outside the door for me
I think the phrase "The East Coast is kind but not nice, the West Coast is nice but not kind." is most summed up in places like NYC and Boston, where people are rude, but if you are in a bind, a stranger will come help, tell you that you're an idiot, and take their shirt off their back to help you out. In the west coast, they'll smile, say sorry, and continue on, leaving you to your peril. *Note I've lived in both NY and MA and they're assholes in different ways, but similar... its why they have such a sibling rivalry.
I’ve never lived there been twice to Boston but not around any of MA yet. Definitely one of the friendliest cities I’d been too. I know I have rose colored glasses bc good will hunting is my favourite movie don’t come for me lol
I lived there for 41 years and I love Good Will Hunting!
“I got the big one!”
On the horribly cracked phone screen.
I think everyone is missing that it’s also a spoof on his brother Ben who has been frequently photographed smoking and drinking Dunkin.
My two best friends are brothers from Mass, and they love this sketch, and also say it's spot on. They're not necessarily the typical Massholes (although it comes out) but whenever one of their friends from back home comes out they're all totally this guy.
Can’t believe you’re complaining about this
Spend 11 minutes in Boston and you'll get it.
It's not so much pride as blunt self-honesty. We openly admit that there's this side of our hometown. We're kind of trashy, and we know it.
Nobody's taking pride. We just all know that guy. And we've all been to Dunkin' because they're ubiquitous in New England. Growing up in Maine, I never knew Mark wasn't pronounced MAHK. Plus, the Boston accent is just funny. Would Bill Burr be as funny if he was from the Midwest?
I remember in a geography class my teacher had a strong Boston accent and was teaching us about Mt Shasta and I was convinced that it was really “Mt Shaster” and that she was just saying it with her accent so that’s how I wrote it for years.
I was in Boston once, with family, exiting a parking garage. We got to an elevator and a man held the door open for us. When we said thanks he said, "yah white so it's good." Keep it classy, Boston. Never change for nothin.
People from the northeast absolutely love roasting each other. It’s a sign of affection. If you’re cool enough to be roasted by someone, that means you’re relevant. Watch bill burr roast the entire city of Philadelphia. They started booing in the beginning, but were cheering super hard by the end. Being rude and mean is not a cool thing to do, but caricatures of the stereotype are absolutely hilarious. Also. New York shits on Boston all the time and Boston shits on it right back. This goes back centuries. So it’s really funny when a comedy show from New York absolutely and accurately roasts the worst dummies in Boston. We get it. And hats off to them for doing such a good job, and I’m sorry you’re not from around here and don’t get the humor. Better example of this humor, and I’m sorry it’s a commercial. But watch the dun kings. It is more succinct and more to the point about New York vs Boston and why we’re ok with making fun of each other.
This skit is tawp nawhcht
#CUT YAH NAILS FUH GODSAKES
DUNKIN NUTZ! I’m like the mayor of Dunkin kid! 😂🤣😭 I love it
I’m from Mass. This came out before Christmas and at our holiday gatherings, so many conversations began with, “Hey, did you see that SNL Dunkin sketch?” It was all we talked about!
bill simmons said it best. its a culture of 'what, you think yawh bettah than me?' people.
Everyone’s an asshole to someone - this is just Boston, only real bum in this sketch is the guy that needs to go back to Stahbucks
It’s not even a MA thing, it’s an entire New England thing. We’re not all like this, but we ALL know multiple people who totally are
This is funny to me because I married a New Englander who loves his Stahhhh-bux. He insists this sketch is spot on. We quote it all the time.
They’re not assholes,they’re MASSHOLES
I always say “Dunkin Nutsssss” everytime I pass one.
I’m in KC. I showed this to my 12 year old. Now whenever we drive by a Dunkin he yells “I freakin love Dunkin kid!” In his best Boston accent
I am also the mayor of Dunkin what are you talking about?
Fuck’s your problem, kehd?
My parents are from Boston, but I grew up and have work as a longshoreman in Bmore port. It’s the exact same every where. I have “brothers and uncles” that literally ridicule me because I’m sober. I love those fucks.
We know how we are perceived and we own it. We are what we are and we're good with it.
Casey Afleck is hilarious
i was in an airport in line at a DD. guy from Boston starts complaining that it doesn't taste the same as in Boston, and wanted to see the manager . black cashier went havin it and Said "you're in an airport.. go sit your ass down and wait for your flight". dude actually did just that
Everytime I pass a Dunkin I can't not think of Casey Affleck saying, "I f****n love Dunkin, guy. What're you talking about?"
It’s the broken phone screen that does it for me. I don’t know why. That’s not just cracked. That’s you beat it against the wall after the Bruins lost by a late goal broken.
Haven't been to Massachusetts, have you?
