But when imitating John Lovitz, though, you'd pretty much have to.
His pathological liar character is pretty much a cultural icon at
this point; that's what all this "yeah, dat's it" is in reference to.
Yeeeah... Jon Lovitz's pat'ological li-ah. He also invented the
toastah... yeah...
Incidentally, if you ever listen carefully to a recording of the
speech of Oliver Hardy, he's a perfect example of a fine Harlem
accent that contains many elements of stereotypical generic Yankee
speech, with touches of Brooklyn and the Bronx, among others. But the
Harlem he was from is in Georgia.
