Funny accents

[Agathon]

What are the funniest accents?

Here's one:

New Zealand male (educated). Doesn't sound much like me, but I learned to speak in the UK and have a hybrid accent.

And here's my all time favourite, the Geordie (NE England).

This sounds just like my aunt.


Post yours, or those you find amusing

Some accents are funny but several give me a hard on when a girl speaks with an accent.

What's so funny about those?

Indian accents make me laugh the most.

One of the hottest guys I ever knew (*ahem* in ye olde Biblical sense) was Australian. The accent has triggered in me some sort of automatic response, kind of like Pavlov's dog. BOING!

Yes, but English isn't their first language.

I've been trying to get an audio clip of Jimmy Nail, but I can't find one.

Well go to IDEA and find a clip, then we can all join in the fun.

The beautiful and noble Welsh accent.

The two from Quebec are both by native French speakers. Neither sounds at all like me. The Ontarian doesn't sound at all like an Anglo Quebecer either. The New Brunswick accent isn't far off.

Hee hee.

Sent the prof in charge of the database an email saying he should have included an anglo quebecer.

Pepperidge Farm guy's accent - right up there with Mel Blanc!

Hey, out of curiosity, who's Ann Coulter? Is she a gamer?

New Zullund!

What's funny is that the educated ones that go overseas and sound funny don't speak nearly as funny as those New Zullunders who don't!

There's a famous bit of graffiti coming out the tunnel on Sydney's eastern suburbs train line that says:

"AUSTRALIA SUX!"

Underneath a clever aussie wrote:

"NEW ZEALAND NIL"

Ah, here's how English was meant to be spoken -- flat and emotionless. Huzzah!

I'm amazed they don't have a sample of the South Side accent, though. "Der are tree tings you godda know before you get on da bus." "Da Bears." Etc.

[KrazyHorse]

Flat?

"Raindraps"

"Paht of gold"

Blech.
