No, sorry, but your accent sucks.

My accent IRL, being from Belfast.

 

[nick n stuff]

any brummie (birmingham england) accent

i resent that comment. the stereotypical brummie accent is usually wrong cos people mistake really thick midland accents such as yam yam for it. and you can't hate us cos Birmingham gave the world Black Sabbath and heavy metal.

I am going to have to say southern accent. Stop slandering the English language.

As in Southern England? So, Queen's English, barth and parth not a sharp a sound?

What? Ummmm no. I am talking about the deep south in America. Especially Alabama..

 

[tthor]

you don't make fun of a person's native accent. often they can't change their accent even if they tried.
i myself have an odd accent, and i get incredibly depressed whenever someone so much as brings it up, not to mention mock it >_>

Why not mock them for it? You don't blame it on them, nor tell them to get a real accent, but why not fuck with them a little? Everyone has weird things about them and everyone else mocks everybody else. It's human nature to belittle.

 

[True-Asmodeus]

Hearing the british version of many words annoys me like mad. (Yes, I realize the reverse is likely too)
Garage for one. Also Aluminum, which over there is Alumin-i-um. That extra syllable irks me.

That "extra syllable" is the right way to say it, most of the world says aluminium so aluminum that annoys me XP. In general I hate english accent, mostly the gordie accent, also annoyed by the welsh accent to.

Stephen Hawking is British yet he talks with that silly fake American accent. What a poseur.

This made me cry with laughter.

You sir, are a proud owner of a cookie!

*me gives cookie to AgentNein*

OT: Probably the accent of bad guy in ME2's DLC 'Kasumi's lost memory'. Really annoyed me for some reason.

 

[hippykiller]

Probably anyone in any game with an Irish accent, apart from Atlas in Bioshock.

i always thought atlas was supposed to be a Scotsman?

Seriously? I'm pretty sure he sounds more like he's from Dublin in Ireland than anywhere in Scotland.

eh i just got that impression. But i just wikied it. yeah, He's Irish.

Fake Irish accents. They fail. Minly because there is no Irish accent.

I'm sorry but there is DEFINITELY an Irish accent. If not, then every person that's talked to my family while on holiday has been telepathic because they instantly cop us as Irish, SOMEHOW.

Also, have you talked to anyone from Cork or Wexford? =P

It seems that further south, the accent gets.. I don't know, chirpier and faster. While further north, we bring things to an annoying drawl. Derry and Cork (furthest points north and south) are nearly unintelligible =/

I think Dublin's pretty diverse too though. The difference between people in Tallaght (poorISH area) and Foxrock (RichISH are) are completely different. I think each point on the compass has it's own typical accent, central's probably the easiest to understand. =P

 

[Reynard Wrecce]

I hate fake Irish accents in films, it's the most irritating thing in the world, no one talks like that.

Ah faith and begorrah, sorr, whatever do ye mean, shamrocks and Guinness? Oi've ahlways found Oirish accents te be...
Actually, even typing like that is irritating; yes, a fake Irish accent sticks out like a hippo in a trifle.

Have you ever stayed in the really central counties (Westmeath, Offaly, Longford)? It is so goddamn boring. No wonder their accent is plain, nothing for them to ever get excited about or talk about.

 

[Emil-san]

My own Swedish accent. I'm trying to work on mine, but here's a perfect example of how English should NOT sound. (Chairman (??) of BP)

Oh christ, don't get me started on those counties, i don't know why they're still populated really. The only guy i know who lives in Longford regularly comes over to Dublin to escape it. I think he likes it though...the freak..

 

[Daedalus1942]

In short, what is the worst accent you have ever heard? Whether it was actually a native accent or a fake one, whose accent has ticked you off the most in the media?

I hate the lead characters from The Saboteur and Just Cause. They both seem painfully fake and irritate the hell out of me.

Opinions?

Cole from inFamous 2's new voice actor annoys me but still not as much as this Tommy Wiseau character...
He makes Jean Claude Van Damme look like Jude Law.

Living in Denmark I'm going to say when a Danish journalist interviews someone in English. Its not that their the accent is bad, its that there is non. And this is true for every Danish person I know or sees on TV (except my former English teacher, who lived in Ireland a few years so he got a slightly Irish accent). It just sounds so dull so very very dull.

 

[Legendsmith]

My own, because apparently it sounds American, despite the fact that I have even stepped foot on the entire North American continent and I have lived my entire life in Australia.

What's the point in living in Australia if I don't have its accent?

Try mine. It's really thick Australian, sometimes people (from other countries) can't understand me.

Christ!
I meant there is no singular Irish accent that the American's seem to be so fond of imitating.

Tommy Wiseau... what nationality are you?
