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 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.
