What accent does King Julien have?

King Julien from the animated series "King Julien" is voiced by Danny Jacobs, and his character has a very distinct New York City accent. This accent is characterized by:

* Dropping of the "r" sound at the end of words: "Yeah, I'm gonna go get a pizza" becomes "Yeah, I'm gonna go get a pizza"

* Emphasis on certain vowels: For example, "about" might sound like "aboot"

* Unique pronunciation of certain words: Like "water" sounding like "wadder"

The New York accent is a major part of King Julien's personality and adds to his comical and over-the-top nature.
