''The Commando Obsoiver''
 
On a few occasions, '''the "er" sound in a word is pronounced as an "oi" sound''', usually spoken by [[Strong Bad]]. This is probably parodying [[New York dialect|Brooklyn accents]]. Incidentally, [[Coach Z]]'s and [[Bubs]]' accents often cause the inverse to happen which, interestingly enough, sometimes happens in real life as a result of hypercorrection.
