Minnesotans don't sound accented to me.  IHH's imitation sounds to me more like the few Texans (and other states around that area) I've spoken to.  But we all have accents, just not from our own point of view.

maybe we're just talking about the state, and the few are acknowledging. let's see. a poll? or just say

"#1 here, I'm a Minnesota."

I met a girl once who hailed from Minnesota, and she didn't have an accent that I could detect.

I live in a city right across the border from North Dakota and Minnesota, my accent is probably no different.

I'm sure that, much like all other accents, the "typical" accent is hugely exaggerated and is probably not that noticeable to people who grew up nearby, but not in, Minnesota. It definitely exists, it's just more subtle than it's made out to be.

Because the deer objected to the road's demands?  (... Why did the deer cross <make angry> the road?... )

It was the chicken's day off?



... If that's the case...
Why did the turkey cross the road twice?
