Well, Classicalla - the fact that he is speaking an *English* word accounts for the vowel not sounding as Spanish, I think
Especially when he says 'That scene was so WAFFy' - I can spot a bit of 'e' sound creeping in. However, I think it's close enough to allow me to use the term "Spanish 'a'" to separate it from the other one, which has evidently hints of 'o' in it.
See ya,
