I can't play this either, but you can't tell." When she asks what's it for, he replies "Accordion lessons".
completely muffs the joke he gave her to tell, he hands her money. In My Favorite Year, "Anyone who plays the accordion professionally" is on Benjy's list of people who cannot be funny.It's not quite the life of the party, but it's almost the death of it. In Revenge of the Nerds, Judy, one of the Omega Mu sisters, scrapes out a rendition of "So I Say I Gotta Be Me" on the accordion.This stands out in very stark (and tragic) contrast to his attempts to live beyond his financial capacity and the stupid thing he does to fund it. Downplayed in The Polka King: Jan Lewan is obviously called this by his domineering mother-in-law, but he's respected and even considered a celebrity by the other people in town, with a steady influx of requests to play polka at parties and selling his music."Polka, Polka, Polka"? "Twin Lakes Polka"? "Yamahoozie Polka," a.k.a. Gus Polinski: I had a few hits a few years ago. The band played polkas the whole way back to Chicago.

In Home Alone, Kevin's mother's desperate journey to get back home to her son-amidst more conventional transportation options being booked full for the holidays-was aided in its last leg (from Scranton, Pennsylvania to Chicago) by Gus Polinsky, "The Polka King of the Midwest" and his band, who planned to get back to Milwaukee by rental van. When she tells Phil that the locals have been partying like this all night long, he just replies, "They're hicks, Rita."

In Groundhog Day, "Pennsylvania Polka" is playing in Punxsutawney town square on the morning of Groundhog Day. when Cronauer is taken off the air, GI's are dismayed by his uber-square replacement, and morale duly plummets. Hauk, firmly believes US' soldiers' morale will be boosted by three hours of polka music in the mornings. Good Morning, Vietnam: Air Force DJ Adrian Cronauer's nemesis, Lt. It's not as much a comment on the teenager, as much as one on Minnesotans in general being dorky, or at least square. In Fargo, there is a shot of a polka band poster in a teenager's room.

Note: In recent years, especially with the popularity of "Weird Al" Yankovic, who made this part of his comedic persona, and Mexican norteño music, as well as the advent of Steampunk as well as "nerd" culture, there has been somewhat of a reversal of this trend (even Christina Hendricks proudly plays the accordion!) and it borders somewhat on the verge of becoming a Dead Horse Trope. Contrast with French Accordion and Accordion to Most Sailors. Not to be confused with an Accordion Man. * Except for Mexican norteño music, which is actually what cool young people listen there. Since the accordion, and polka, are often associated in the US with an aged demographic, it's certainly not going to be cool for a young person there to admit to enjoying them.
