#1 Posted by Fr0Br0 (3066 posts) - 3 years, 7 months ago

Ryan says words in some weird ass ways. This thread was made to keep a list of the words he has pronounced differently than what is displayed in the English dictionary.
 
Sword - Original Pronunciation: "Sohrd" Ryan Pronunciation: "Sawohrd"
 
Robot - Original Pronunciation: "Roh-bot" Ryan Pronunciation: "Roh-buht"
 
Spiderman - Original Pronunciation: "Spahy-der-man" Ryan Pronunciation: "Spahy-der-mehn"
 
Feel free to add on.

Zombie - Zam-be

Huh. I always thought of him pronouncing 'robot as 'robit' and 'spiderman' as 'spidermin'

Niche can be said either way: /neesh, nitch/ but it just sounds damn odd when I hear /nitch/ and Ryan may be the only person I have ever heard say it that way.
 
Also, I went to my bookshelf, got out my dictionary, looked up Spiderman and it's not there.

What is going on with your Spider-Man phonetic spelling?

Which state does Ryan come from anyway? I'm not so good with differentiating American accents.

#7 Posted by Systech (4076 posts) - 3 years, 7 months ago

He only does it to sound fresh. It's not any state's accent for crying out loud.

#8 Posted by Valames (724 posts) - 3 years, 7 months ago

Lol, he just does it for fun.

I think both the big boys are natives of that state CA...

I'm pretty sure he purposely says words different.  Haven't you ever done that for fun?

#11 Posted by pause422 (6068 posts) - 3 years, 7 months ago

He does that purposely. Not for any other reason.

In Fr0Br0's dictionary, Spiderman is the second word on the first page.

Ah right. I was just wondering, not that I was going to generalise since I've heard of few Californians sound different.

Mario: Pronounced "mar-io", says "mayr-io"
 
He only says those words those ways for the lulz

You suck with those pronunciation phonic spelling things.
 
Br3adfan has it right, Robits, Zambies, Spidermins, sah-wards.

Some of the people in this thread seems to think he has some crazy Californian accent.

California has an accent?
#21 Posted by CitizenKane (10457 posts) - 3 years, 7 months ago

His pronunciation of "robot" comes from Futurama.  It's what Zoidberg calls Bender.

I don't know about Ryan but John Davidson saying Mario annoys the fuck out of me!

#23 Posted by HazBazz (1901 posts) - 3 years, 6 months ago

I don't think he was the first to do it, but I stole his pronounciation of Pokemon. Pokemans!

#24 Posted by Rhaknar (5791 posts) - 3 years, 6 months ago
