Oh flip, a prole has got in here. See him out Smithers before I have to show him the Queensbury rules. Dreadful smell of cabbage the man has.GideonB said:
Considering how many different cultures, accents and dialects the British isles have, it's weird that there's only one stereotype for the whole country.
Now that I think about it, it is rather funny. :Lgeneric gamer said:
I'm going to go see if I can find it on YouTube.
That's Joanna Lumley, she's no mere run-of-the-mill Speaking-Portrait-Woman! No, it's like that, but more over-done. To be fair, that's her actual accent.Demon ID said:

It's OTT Recieved Pronounciation (or BBC English, though that's a lot nicer on the ears)
The family guy ones can vary with me. Sometimes I find them brilliant and can't stop laughing. Other times I just want to kill the writers by impaling them on a flag pole (with the glorious and wonderful Union Flag raised.)
Case in point - the one with Nigel, the pub owner - I hated it...until I saw the hilarious resemblance to the Anti-Christ, Tony Blair. Then, it became funny.
The American Football ep - where Peter moves to London though - not the best.
I think the best family guy Brit stereotype is a small bit clip, in passing reference. (I think its )in Big Fat Paulie, after a mob guy gets killed in a drive by, Peter suggests moving to England because;
"aaw, the worst they gotta put up with is drive-by arguments!" - que what is possibly my favourite clip, of said argument.
To be fair though, look at how most Brits label Americans - gun loving, bible waving, etc...

Ever had these certain debates?:
Torches, Flashlights.
Chips, Crisps.
Ass, Arse.
Y'know the usual. Oddly enough I had those debates several times during my stay in Holland.

Dude, my girlfriend moved from England a couple years ago, we have those arguments all the time. Apparently though, she loves that my accent is less Jersey than everyone else around here, so go figure.TheSeventhLoneWolf said:
