Do I really sound like Bruce from Family Guy?


Someone said I sounded like Bruce from Family Guy. But I don't think so at all.

Here is a clip of me and then Bruce. What do Y'all think?

Is that a herpes sore on your mouth? I heard that you can get it from a toilet seat.

its a cut from shaving.

You’d look good with a beard. Maybe stop shaving?

Also, keep M.S. as your stage name, but if you grow the beard, you should change your name to Ezikial or Nehemiah. Or Zachariah. God likes those names, as evidenced in His book.

Okay, but I'm not Jewish.

All those old time Bible guys had “Jewish” names. Is there some Bible guy named Meade? That sounds more like a polytheistic Viking name to me. You need something really righteous, like Shadrach or Abednego. Bring some fire to your sermons. No one’s going to be inspired to follow Christ by hearing you talk in that derpy-derp Bruce voice.

Meade is actually an Anglo-Irish name. It comes from my great granddaddy's side of the family.

I Googled it, and it said that Meade is a girl name.

Meade is almost never a girls name. Its a boys name. It hasn't been stolen yet by fems, like Ashley or Leslie has. Both good boys names. But Meade is very masculine name. A girl would sound really butch with that kind of name.

Well, Google is the true word of the Internet Gods, and does not lie, so why do you have a girl's name?


reply

I agree that you should change your name to Shadrach. That's a lot less girly.

reply

Meade is a family name given to me because it was a Surname in the family. Does it really sound like a girls name to you? Its a very masculine sounding name, IMO.



"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

I had never really thought about it until I Googled it, and now I see it as very feminine.

I'm very manly and masculine and the name suits me well.

I stand by the Google results and it really does suit you well. You have rather large breasts, right?


reply

I have a large chest, not breasts. I am well built.


"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

Hmm.....they look like breasts in the many pictures I saw. There were some where you were also wearing a girly waist cincher, or corset.

It didn't look like muscle at all.

I have a very large frame and stand just over 5'10. I have some flab and I'm working on that, but overall- I am fairly muscular.

"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

reply

No. You really don't.

I was thinking you're more like Julia Child, but you are shorter than she was.

reply

True. Julia Child was 6'2 That could explain why she came off as so masculine.


"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

reply

No; it wasn't her height. She was a bit masculine, but her height didn't have anything to do with it. You both have similar curves.
There are actresses, like Elizabeth Debicki, who are even taller than that who are not masculine at all. See also some Victoria's Secret models. It's just some weird hangup and insecurity you have about being shorter and not very manly.


reply

Her height certainly didn't help. She also had a deeper voice. Probably because she was taller like that. A taller woman at 5'7 or 5'8 doesn't seem manly, perhaps. But she was 6'2 and built like a football player.

Calling tall women masculine just makes you look shorter and more insecure.

Nothing to do with accent, but tone of voice. I have a tone of voice more like those people. And Buckley's accent is a hybrid of Southern and other things , since his parents are from the Deep South.

I was serious about Bruce, and those other people just haven't heard you enough and Bobby agrees, but you do also sound like Tootsie a bit. Your tone of voice sounds nothing like Ewan.

No, Buckley is not a “hybrid" of Southern, etc. And you don’t inherit them from your parents—unless you’re locked away with only your parents or something. You generally develop your accent from age-peers, in the locale where you live. (Unless the kid has autism, it seems.)

I studied linguistics and you are incorrect about that. We first learn our speech from our parents. That is where we first learn language. That is why someone who is born to foreign born parents will still sound vaguely foreign, unless they really really work at it to blend in with their peers. You can learn accents from your peers, but its not as entrenched as the ones we hear in the home.

Growing up, I had very few friends, and I was mostly home schooled. Don't you think it makes more sense that I sound like family instead of peers?


"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

reply

So now this is about YOU again. I see. Well,

1) Makes more sense? We could chew some Copenhagen behind the ol’ woodpile and talk about what we think makes sense, but that’s not the same thing as scholarly/scientific research, the consensus of which currently states that—despite what we might suppose—as we develop (after mom teaches us da-da and ma-ma), our accents are mainly shaped by our peers. Our parents accents, too, although already basically developed in adulthood, get shaped somewhat when they move to a new accent environment.

2) I’m sure you noticed the note, a few posts above, about autism. If this is an exception to the “rule,” OK, but the exception is not the rule. You’re making general statements about L1 language acquisition, and then you go and shift it to your personal exception?

3) Your “family”—cousins—may well be your peers. The point was that, contrary to what you implied, accent is not “handed down” from parents, nor is one’s accent a hybrid or blend of their parents’ speech in the way a child has some of the genes of both parents.

reply

It was never really about me. I was just using an example. I don't sound like Bruce from Family guy. That is just silly

Despite where we live, our accents are boldly shaped by our family and our parents. One may think its their peers, but if you listen to them closely, you can hear the influence from whence they first learned the English language. That is why people who learn ESL will never completely mask their foreign accents. They can blend in enough where its not as noticeable. But we mainly talk like our parents first, and then pick up a few of the idioms from our peers.

I know someone who lives in my area with Brooklyn born parents. They sound more Brooklyn than they do Richmond. Even though they were born and raised here.


"Life is like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts".

reply

You’re mixing up L1 and L2 and missing the point. You did not study Linguistics.

Buckley’s accent does not derive from Southern parent(s). You’re using an appeal-to-common-sense argument to try to connect Buckley to Southern speech and, by association, to yourself. It all comes back to you.

The reason you sound like Bruce is because he speaks in a particular “gay” sociolect. I can guarantee your dad does not speak like that.

Now don’t go telling me a story about your dad, where he was raised, how old he is, how great Virginia is supposed to be, etc, because I don’t care. I can hear how you talk, and it sounds like a Georgia drag queen playing the role of a low energy Barney the Dinosaur.

Dude, you’re like 40 something years old and have been claiming to perform “Country” music for how many years and still don’t know even know what Country music is? Garth Brooks is not Country, he’s just some dude who sings pop/rock songs that happens to be from the South. And you’re warbling these songs like Maude doing an imitation of Roy Orbison if he was a diabetic, in Richmond, which is basically a hipster city where people are into playing vinyl records on vintage equipment, and you call THAT Country? And you say you like Hank Williams but if you went into a place where he played you’d probably clutch your pearls and say “Heavens to Betsy!” and run out to the nearest SHEETZ for some sweet tea.

David Allen Coe is Outlaw Country. Your idea of Country is the hardcore, honky tonk sound. That is only one kind of Country Music

There is the Countrypolitan-Nashville Sound (which is mainly what I perform). Then there is the Folky/Country such as John Denver, Don Williams, etc. Then there's Western Swing, Rockabilly, Pop Country, Cow-Punk, Soul-Country, etc. Camptown Races is a Folk song . It could be Country, I suppose

Country and Western is really just commercialized Folk music.

Also known as hillbilly music. I thought you said you knew more about Country than anybody.

What’s Folk music? Is Joan Baez commericalize folk music...Country? If I commercialize folk music of Massachusetts does it become Country? And so is the meaning of Country just “music that’s commercialized.” Wow, I can see how that would be a very broad category.

Camptown Races was very much a commercial popular song, by Stephen Foster -- maybe the biggest hit song of 1850. The phrase “folk music” didn’t even exist then.
Is this Country?
https://youtu.be/-ynyKZuUSpM

Why are they saying “de” as e.g. “De Camptown Ladies”? And why does this sound like the clip of those Fine Ol’ Color’d Gentlemens I posted early and which you still haven’t said anything about?

Who gives a fudge about Soul-Country or StrawberryShortcake Country? What you call Outlaw Country was simply REAL Country, distinguished from what you city folk in Nashville and Richmond do on electric keyboards in coffeeshops -- songs about real shît, as opposed to virgins going on a date to drink iced tea.

I’m Gen X. I don’t know why you care, or why you keep telling me your age, your height, your family lineage, etc.

It all comes down to one thing that we can hear: your voice.

We’ve heard your speaking voice AND your singing voice (and musical style) in countless videos that you spam to this site. I don’t know why you think IMDb message boards, which have been called “a glorified version of 4chan,” are a good place to promote your music recordings and your religious beliefs. Nonetheless, you’ve done it and we can hear it. And we have come to the following conclusions:

1) Your speaking voice sounds like Bruce from "Family Guy," Dorothy from Tootsie, and Mrs. Doubtfire from Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s the tone of voice that a particular slice of gay men adopt as their sociolect, along with a fascination with genteel Southern white aristocratic “ladies” and their antebellum mannerisms of mint juleps and lace fans on the veranda. I don’t know why this caricature of a particular class and gender of Southern person is so attractive as an adopted form of expression for this slice of gay men, yet nonetheless I observe it to be there and more power to them if they get satisfaction from it.

2) Your music sounds like a drag king version of Roy Orbison performing in a Barney costume, and any loose connection to what most people consider Country only comes from non-musical stereotypes about Country musicians, e.g. that they are obsessed with the South as a culture or that they take belief in Christianity to absurd levels.

I never came here to promote myself. I just put a few links to music videos. I don't see why you think that is so wrong.

I don't sound like Bruce from family guy- although interestingly enough, the narrator for Bruce happens to also be from Richmond. So I suppose he is doing an impression of a type of perhaps- um, slightly homosexual effete male from Richmond.

Anyways, the only two people who have that impression of my voice are you and your sidekick cat-on-rye. I don't know why she follows me all around. Its almost as if she is obsessed with me.

I never claimed to be a great singer, but I have a decent singing voice, and I am fairly good at piano and songwriting. There are people with a lot less talent than I have who made it famous. So really, its very subjective, isn't it?

I am a live and let live person. I just don't agree with the homosexuality. The reason people harp on this, is because I said a few things about the homosexuals- namely I called it out for what it was- a sin against God. That is not being hateful. If you love people, you show them truth.

lol.

Hilarious.


There is one crucial piece that you are missing from your LEGO set: You are asking “us,” the good people of IMDb, what you sound like, etc. You are posting photos of your face and asking US if you look like Famous Actor X. You are posting photos of yourself in muscle poses and asking if you look like Schwarzenegger. You are asking US if we think you are tall. I guess you haven’t seen the episode of South Park where Cartman posts his photos and then ... doesn’t like the response.

You ask US if you sound like Bruce and we have our own ears to tell you what WE think. In this scenario, what YOU think you’re like does not matter.

cat is only obsessed with you because she think you’re a cutie and has a Teletubby fetish.

I am obsessed with you because there is no “God,” and people using “God” as a rationale for anything are an abomination that needs to be burnt to the ground before my society is to progress. The persistent use of “God” as a rationale and a justifier, which eerily concentrates most heavily in the Southern part of the U.S., is at the root of what makes such an otherwise advanced, economically successful, and geographically and demographically gifted country the laughing stock of the world.

And f^ck Trump, in his Inauguration speech (and any other political leader), for invoking “God” and dragging our country down into the mud. I’d rather he talk about grabbing poontang any day before that God-talk.

I leave you with one of my favorite Country songs, a musical offering from the great state of VIRGINIA:

Fair enough. But other people certainly didn't agree with you.

Have you heard of Richard Spencer?

What do you think of his speaking voice? I think I certainly sound more manly than he does. He has more an effete, nasally way of speaking- typical of the Northeast elite- although he grew up in Dallas. He sounds a little bit sissified. I agree with some of his points, though. But I am not a white nationalist.

Richmond was going to be the home of the original grand 'ol opry. Richmond had the Old Dominion Barn Dance. A big hot spot for Country Music.

You sound like a fruitcake. Not your voice, the things you are saying (if that is, indeed, you in that video).

reply

Actually, you sound more like Mr. Mackey from South Park. No offense I assure you.

thanks, that's a compliment! Some people think I also sound a bit like Sheldon from BBT.
