No. It just sounds funny to me.
This is typical anglosaxon racism. Just because I'm not a native speaker means I'm not allowed to observe how certain English accents sound funnier than others. Club poll.

I used to think you were OK. Suddenly I don't feel guilty for not voting for you in the hall of fame anymore.

New England is too broad a term. There are at least four disinct accents: Maine (the old Burt and I comic routine "ya cont get they-ah frahm he-ah"; North End Boston (Italian white trash); Southie Boston (Irish white trash); and central Connecticut/Western Mass (which is just the American Standard Rural spoken in hick towns all the way from Pennsylvania to Oregon).
Of these Southie Bostonian makes me the craziest -- it's also accompanied by at least four grammatical errors per sentence and includes some of the world's most inane idioms ("wicked," "oh my head," etc.). It isn't superior like the central Long Island / Manhattan accent or hostile like the Queens, North Brooklyn accent -- just unrelentingly stupid.

There's absolutely nothing funny about German, guys. It's a very serious language for very serious people...

PH's accent is certainly... distinctive.

You can claim PH accent as funny, but I can't make a strait-laced comment about your accent?
And I will never forgive you for not voting for me in that popularity contest. You will rue that mistake.

You also get "wicked" in Down East (the REAL term for the Maine accent), never heard of "oh my head" as an idiom though...
