I'm American and I've always been particularly good at impersonating a British accent. Granted, it's not one of the hardest accents to nail down but I've had people tell me I'm very good at it.

I'm sure it has something to do with growing up watching Red Dwarf and Monty Python as opposed to cartoons. I find myself slipping into a British accent when I play Killing Floor with my friends. It's a bit scary, actually.

I'm most proud of my South African one. Sometimes I'll even slip into it accidentally.

For me it would be an good aussie accent, for similar reasons, I grew up watching really really bad Australian Childrens TV shows, something about them just plain mezzed me.

I sometimes slip into my British, and online, people think I am British, and when I notice, and go back to my normal accent, they have no idea who I am.

I even fooled Brits into thinking I am British, when I was on vacation there.

I can do a pretty mean British accent(as far as I know, I have only known 1 person from Britain, and I knew him when I was 7 xD), despite never going there myself :p

I can also do Southern (U.S.) West Coast (U.S.) and Oklahoman accents.

See, I'm sure that if I said I can do an American accent, all Americans will jump on me demanding I clarify my position, crying: there are loads of American accents!!

By that count: which British accent? Regional or class? (Bear in mind I never really watched Red Dwarf, OP.)

British Isles: RP (think Stephen Fry), East End, Lowland Scottish, Cork Irish & West Country (though this one isn't that good, and I only end up sounding like Hugo Rifkind)
American: New England & Louisiana/Mississippi
Japanese: Kanto (default, so I don't think that really counts)
German: generally southern, I've been told I speak like a Bavarian
French: Marseillier, apparently

I can do a variety of accents, pretty good at all of them. Best at Irish and English though. I can do a French accent quite well but only because I can speak French also, so it doesn't really count.

None.

I can copy Wall-E's voice well enough to make my girl-friend pull me into a cuddle and make an adorable sound though. :)

Can you do an actual Irish one, or a stupid crappy "Ah tee ta toe ta tah!" leprechaun one.

Nobody here talks like that.

I can do a pretty spiffing Brit accent, but I throw in far too many Irish slang words to pull it off properly.

I've got a naturally thick Scottish accent, since i am Scottish thats expected.

Putting on accents, i'm actually quite good at a comical Hispanic accent
