Hermes Conrad another Jamaican animated stereotype Jamaicans depicted in cartoons

Okay, by now I'm sure were all used to those forced accents used to voice Jamaican characters in cartoons. It's funny because the voices are never spot on. It seems as if A. They're not even trying or B. They purposely butcher the accent so that we can laugh harder. Listening to most of the scenes involving alleged Jamaican characters like the nannys on Family Guy it sounds to me like their mimicking other Caribbean accents. 

Here's a clip from American Dad Hayley sings a song named "Family Get Ya High" of course taking a jab at Jamaica constantly being associated with Ganja smoking. But get this they're actually in the Bahamas lol. Completely differently island. This is the episode named Bahama Mama.

Another weed reference LOL 

Hermes Conrad's wife for example LaBarbara sounds mostly like her ex husband Barbados Slim. Who of course is from Barbados. 

Kind of like when I was growing up and would dance in the wining style not unfamiliar to the Caribbean I would immediately be labeled as Jamaican. When in fact I am not. My father is Guyanese although I was raised in a Jamaican household/community well into my late teens. 

Or when people see another flag from the Caribbean they automatically assume it's the Jamaican flag. LOL Or when you identify a different country they say "That's by Jamaica right?" LOL

Jamaica is extremely popular and their culture is widespread.

Their cuisine and dance is highly influential. When speaking on the Dancehall scene those who aren't actual descendants of the island aren't discriminated against because they are a part of THE CULTURE.  So I like to say Jamaican by association or Honorary Jamaican. LOL

Now enough about that and onto Hermes Conrad. Hermes happens to be one of my favorite characters. He's unafraid to exert his Jamaican pride throughout the series. Hermes is a limbo champion who can out limbo almost anyone except for the time he was beat by Barbados slim after he put on a lot of weight over the years and Professor Farnsworth created a suit for him to make him ultra fast and hold in his fat. Hermes forever got too carried away and when mid limbo on his back crouched down his fat escaped the suit and caused the hurdle to malfunction.

His accent is pretty good if I must say so myself. His overusage of the word MON in replacement of MAN places emphasis on the fact that he is Jamaican. LOL.

It doesn't just end with Hermes though. He likes to keep his country's pride alive in the entire family. Hermes and Labarbara's son Dwight Conrad sports a large Jamaican flag across his shirt. 

TALK ABOUT PRIDE! LOL!

Toward the end of this song you can hear Hermes exerting Jamaican pride urging everyone to say JAMAICA! lol Hermes goes Now everybody say JAMAICA! They repeat JAMAICA!

The beat of the song has an island feel to it. One can even make out some steel drums being used as instruments. If you're unfamiliar with steel pans or drums view the clip below lol.

Who else but Hermes? XD

Here he is representing Earth in the Olympics like other Jamaican athletes like Usain Bolt.

Here he is eating Curry Goat it's so spicy if burns a hole str8 to hell which ironically burns the Robot Devil. Even so like a true Caribbean he stilll adds hot sauce XD!

Hermes catch phrases are almost lyrical perhaps a hint at Jamaican's great lyrical ability within their music. Most of his phrases rhyme. Check out some of his phrases below.

Here he is keeping limboing alive.
