This is hilarious. I swear he's channeling Dressner, but in a Bizarro World. If you're not a Superman fan, here's a link explaining Bizzaro World.

As some may know, bike lanes have become a controversial topic here in NY. This guy, is against them. NSFW due to many, many F bombs. Bizzaro Joe Dressner.

Does Dressner speak with a South Jersey accent, too, Brad? Just curious.

South Jersey?

More like Brooklyn Yiddish.

Exactly. The voice is eerily similar to Joe D's.

There are elements of Brooklyn Yiddish in it, I agree (especially in the beginning where he kinda sounds like Mel Brooks), but that's overlaid (listen to how he says "fuck") on what to me is classic South Jersey/ South Philly... and I've heard quite a bit of that particular patois.

Too much time traveling Route 42?
 
I like his passion. I also like that the Borsalino hat he's sporting detracts from the Sherwood Forrest growing beneath his nose. The hat strikes me as counterintuitive to the beard thing and that's a little disconcerting, as is its color. But with facial hair and an accent like that, nobody's going to pay attention to accessories. It's like, who the hell cares whether I've got red fuzzy dice or green fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror of my Stutz Blackhawk? Their attention is already gonna be diverted by the side tailpipes and knockoff hubcaps on the faux wire wheels and nobody's going to even notice whether the fuzz has been worn off the dice (regardless of color).

-Eden (I can't help but think that Brad's anti-fascist would rally more supporters to his cause were he to replace some of his repetitive use of the word "fucking" with an occasional "goddamn" or even the SVW "goshdarn" or "consarned"*, a seemingly appropriate expletive given the protagonist's resemblance to the grizzled prospectors we grew used to seeing on "Gunsmoke", "Rawhide" and "Branded". Overuse of any word diminishes its impact, so a little variance in the vituperative vocab might result in more converts to bipeds peddling in the fucking park)

*which could easily be accompanied by a final, exlamation-pointing "dagnabbit!" should the emotions call for one.

I'm all for it. Let's salute newbies with a 'darn you' from now on. Then there's a variation if that's too tame - foreign versions of the overused vituperative. "Que te jodan", "Va te faire enculer", "Vaffanculo", "Fick dich" would add a nice cosmopolitan touch.
 
And when those get shopworn, we can always switch to "Que se fodam", "Vai se fuder", "Vai tomar no cú" and "Vai pra puta que o pariu".

It's "pedalling", my dear.

In many cases my good sir, yes, you are correct, but what if I had been thinking of it in the context of people like Brad's friend in the video trying to sell the idea of riding in the park and not on the bike lanes in the street? Would they not then be peddling their wheres there?

A piddling difference to be sure, but it's not as if it would be construed (or misconstrued, depending on one's POV) as supporting pedalophiles or anything. I further wonder: if someone went to the park to look at flowers, would they be a petaller? Maybe I should stem the thread drift and just leaf the topic alone, as I fear that someone might pull out a pistil and that'd be the end of it.

Mark is right: no one in Brooklyn pronounces it "fah-schist," unless they went to Sarah Lawrence and took years of corrective elocution lessons.

Yes, but no one from South Jersey says "Brooklyn" the way he does, or "lives in a fashionable section" with an up note. That's pure Brooklyn with Jewish descent.
 
My favorite part was his pronunciation of 'politician'.

And of course the way he relied so heavily on his earnestness.
