This is a clip from the game Lego City Undercover, played in French. I'm curious as to what accents are being used
for the sheriff (3:57) and the farmer (8:00). If I had to hazard a guess, the sheriff's accent is something like a
joke Belgian accent, but I honestly don't know.

The farmer tends to roll his r's like people of the older generation in the South West of France. On the whole it
conveys the idea of "uneducated agricultural background" if I may say so.
The sheriff doesn't sound particularly Belgian to me but more as if he spoke through his moustache, so we're
once again verging on the "cliché". Hope it helps.
