Well, we also make jokes about different accents here in Brazil - knowing we too have it....
Being a foreigner I must admit I have hard time trying to understand some different accents in
English language, but "Texan" is not the hardest one, I found it even pleasant to the ears!
I find much more difficult to understand Australian English depending who is speaking. I sometimes
wait and look down to see if subtitles will come up!
I am sure no offense intention was taken, and even if the list is about shells we always can use a
good laugh.
