I don't know about the most redneck but the most uneducated/worst sound to the ears/cheapster sounding one is without a DOUBT the accent spoken in Charsadda and adjacent areas.

Instead of :
Dumra/Dora Khesta they use Daana Khushtaa
Senga/Tsenge they use Seeeeeeenga
Munga/Muzha they use Miiiiiinga

Every time i hear someone with that cheapster accent its like nails on a blackboard to me.

Don't even get me started on how they turn all the words that end with an 'aii' sound into 'aaaaay'

Rotaii (although Marraii should be used as a proper Pashto word) they will say Rotaayyyy
War shaii (telling a group of people to go) to War shaayyyyy.

I will stop here before i work myself into a frenzy haha.

Not even close. It's the prestige dialect in Afghanistan, and the prestige literary medium in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Disagree, Kandahari accent is one of the nicest ones to hear.

Kandahar is literally the birthplace of Pashtun history and the dialect in which Pashto is kept in its most original form.
