Kroll Show - Welcome to Pawnsylvania

video imagePlay video
A skit from the Kroll Show featuring a pawn shop owner from Philadelphia (played by Nick Kroll, who is from New York) and from Pittsburgh (played by an actor I don't recognize). The actors use stereotypical features of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh English. The video naturally recalls Barbara Johnstone's work on the enregisterment of Pittsburghese.
