publicly mispronouncing the moustache?

Public moustache cheese.
It’s correct to pronounce it either way actually.
I dont get this – what way did he pronounce it that it was wrong? and how many ways can there be to pronounce it??
Diabetes -
DIABEETUS (Walrus Brimley’s favoured pronounciation)
Diabetus
Diabeetees
Diabetis
There’s 4 for you.
So if there are so many ways to pronounce it how can anyone say hes misprononcing it??
He’s not. This lol is extra stupid.
agreed
and here all along I thought it was “die a beet us”
Not “die a bee tease”?

Its Emperor Smith!
Damn him for having a southern drawl?
…
he’s not pronouncing it wrong.
I love this. “Diabeetus” was a running joke I had with someone for years.
I swear it was “Diabeetus” for the first 40 years of my life. All of a sudden, it’s “diabeetees”.
DIABEETUS!!! XD
I think that what’s more important than pedants complaining about his pronounciation, is that he’s able to communicate the message in an effective manner. That everyone knows exactly what this LOL is on about indicates to me that Mr. Brimley’s message has been received
I reject your well reasoned and well thought argument, and insist on mocking him for his slightly-different-than-what-I’m-accustomed-to pronunciation of Diabetes.
It’s DIE-UH-BEE-TEES, daggnabbit! WHY WON’T HE JUST CONFORM?!?!?!?
Shouldn’t that be ‘pronunciation’?
Actually most Europeans wouldn’t know what this LOL is all about. For most Europeans they’ll know of Mr Diabeetus through this site. (I know I did. I’ve seen him in countless TV programs and films but never knew he did adverts until I saw it here!!) And they say this site isn’t educational
Wilford Brimley is a badass mo-fo, he can say it any damn way he pleases.
Seriously, he was a bodyguard for Howard Hughes, and defeated Chuck Norris using only his mustache.
a bodyguard for Howard Hughes? did he fight off microorganisms?
He didn’t do much about Taxi Drivers wanting a share of his fortune though
DIABEEEEEEEETUS!!!
dia·betes (dī′ə bēt′ēz′, -is)
???????????
As a long-time low carber, I take a certain sick, ironic amusement at the fact that the man went from shilling Quaker Oats products to shilling diabetes testing supplies. So much for “the right thing to do and the right way to do it.”
WILFORD BRIMLEY is a very good natured person, i like some of his movies..
He is such a very nice person.. His Round and Round movie is really a very entertaining..
that commercial cracks me up.
diabeetus
That’s nothing: you should have heard how my dad said tuberculosis.
If the bastard ate more Quaker Oats and less Hershey bars, he wouldn’t have Diabeetus…
Actually, his pronunciation is my preferred pronunciation. (“Dia-beet-ese” just sounds gay to me.) I have a friend who’s an endocrinologist, and he pronounces it the same way.
You GO Girl!!!!
what a classic actor.
