How would you know if Nappa went Super Saiyan?[DOUBLEPOST=1427128208,1427128061][/DOUBLEPOST]As usual, Google to the rescue:

The character pictured is a mashup of two characters, Nappa from Dragonball Z, and Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The joke derives from the humorous juxtaposition of Carl (a fat, unemployed, antisocial grouch with a thick Jersey accent) in the role of Nappa (a malevolent lackey of DBZ's villain-turned-antiprotagonist Vegeta, who is quite memelicious and tropetastic)

That's New York, dammit! We don't talk like that! (No matter what they say on The Sopranos.) Damn transplants bring their accents...
TIL. And I can commiserate. Often yankees can't seem to understand that not all southern accents are Texan.

You've certainly got my sympathy. I'm on a lifelong crusade against the Hollywood "southern" accent, which sounds like no southerner I've ever met. I can immediately pick out who actually has a real southern accent (like e.g. Holly Hunter) or who actually bothered to study (e.g. Kyra Sedgewick). Ironically, British actors seem to be really good at American southern accents. Probably because they don't bother trying to mimic other actors.
