How do I understand what boom howard is saying? would I need to be a native english speaker to get it?

You just need to know what "dang old" means.
Levi Myers
the joke is that he is generally unintelligible, what is wrong with you? I tell you what
Hunter Scott
what does it mean?
Connor Collins
i grew up with a kid that talked like dang ol that man and i can understand boomhaur.
Ryder Cooper
you can understand him, although it is kinda hard.
Kevin Gomez
>boom howard
Kevin Campbell
Still surprising him and hank are the same person
Christian Martin
I didn’t say “completely” unintelligible just “Generally”
Brandon Sanders
I like how the one Boomhauer's perspective episode implied that he's the only one with an intelligible accent and that everybody else has the ridiculous unintelligble Texas hillbilly accent.
You only really need to be able to pick out keywords.
So for example, if Boomhauer wants to say "The meat is grilled perfectly" he'll probably say something along the lines of
>Hey Hank so that dang ol' STEAK is like I say uhh GRILLED dang ol' PERFECTLY and you know how to work the dang ol' barbeque so fine yeah.
Emphasis mine.
You don't actually need to stress out over understanding every single little bit of his speech. That's the joke.
Jacob Wright
>You don't actually need to stress out over understanding every single little bit of his speech. That's the joke.
Absolutely correct. As someome who takes calls from people in the South, I've got quite a few Boomhauers and all you really need to suss out are nouns and a few context verbs.
Camden Roberts
the joke is that he genuinely hates niggers, what is wrong with you? I tell you what
Connor Miller
well he's a cop so that's a given
Luis Collins
Is Dale the only native Texan or is Boomhauer too?
Aaron Smith
Dang ol' Porky's butthole
Wyatt Hughes
I lived in Texas for about 10 years and I have no trouble at all understanding him

Mike Judge said Boomhauer's voice came from a message he got his answering machine from a Beavis and Butthead fan that was as unintelligible thick of a southern accent.
Colton Rogers
Jason Carter
>Hey man, dis 911? I need ya here at Megalow mart, man it gone di-- boom n' there's a fire'n'everythin' and it don't dad gum- (unintellegible) blowin' errywhere man, I don't know-- saw these men run out there I don't know if he di-- Chuck Mangione-- be comin' down 'ere."
>"DANG. OL'. MEGALOW MART. DAT--TALK ABOUT THEM OL'-- THAN IT— BOOM!"
>This is what I could decipher.
Jose Ramirez
According to Mike Judge, Boomhauer's rapid speech fire speech and accent came from a voicemail a fan left for him after he was done working on Beavis and Butthead.
The message he left was done exactly the same way Boomhauer's speaks, he thought it was the funniest thing in the world so he decided to base a character off of it.
As others have pointed out, the joke is that he's hard to discern or understand fully, but typically comes off as sage, insightful or a the voice of reason even though he's typically easygoing and tends to go with the flow of things.
Anthony Foster
>Beavis and Butthead fan
I don't think someone threatening to call the FCC over the content of the show would be classified as a "fan".
Lincoln Taylor
If we're just talking about among the guys, then yeah, Dale and Boomhauer are native Texans.
Evan Brown
Third best boomhauer joke was the flashback where they were playing football in high school, in the red zone, just before the hike. He then sees an opening and just flat tells his team a new play, telling who to do what and what they’re going to do. the other team cant understand his directions, while his team all understand perfectly, giving them the touchdown
Joshua Walker
Been doing a rewatch, middle of Season 3. This is my favorite Boomhauer moment so far.

Totally 99% accurate transcription of every single syllable:
>Man, I tell you hwat Hank, 'bout a them dang ol' meaning o' life man it's like this man:
>You like butterfly flappin' his wings deep down in no forest man and goin' to cause a tree fall like five thousand miles away man and even dang nobody see it and nobody don't don't even happen and you know be able to be baby born into this world and they don't they don't got dang friends and you got know nothin' but like uh come in and uh find out all about 'em old evils man.
>Man, see like you don't even know man what you goin' it's like you born into this world man and you got like it's like this man uh it's dust in the wind man or like a dang ol' candle in the wind man, you gonna take no matter man as long as all the ol' these whole time
>you know what I think man like the dang ol' I think therefore you are, man
>Well, that's what we tell ourselves, isn't it Boomhauer?
Jose Lopez
Landon Anderson
>boom howard
Nicholas Jackson
Nah, this is my favorite
youtube.com
honestly one of my favorite episodes of the series
Andrew Sullivan
>as long as all the ol' these whole time
I think he says,
>it's like, "all oldies, all the time"
which would be a really clever way he takes the musical direction and brings it even closer to his main point.
Liam Richardson
>boom howard
Benjamin Perry
That makes sense. I spent like 10 minutes replaying that bit and it drove me nuts that I couldn't figure out what he was saying. It's the reason why I said 99% not 100%.
