John Ratzenberger was actually from Boston, and at some points you can here his accent.

Especially whenever he says "Normie", because when he says it, it sounds more like "Noarmie"

Yeah and Rhea does a pretty good job faking the accent

Actually, Rhea's accent sounds more "New Yawk" than anything else.

Eh.... I dunno guys, sometimes Cliffy's accent can sound a little bit exagerated. But it its still funny. A lot of the regular bar flies and random people that go into the bar seem to have decent accents. Carla has the right sort of "undertones" for the accent, but you're right it's a bit NY. Cliff does a good job tryin though.

Speaking as a Bostonian (although not an expert since I lost mine when I went to school), I agree that Rhea sounds like a New Yorker and Cliff's is way too exagerated.
