Is American media aware of different UK accents (i.e. Scouse, Liverpudlian, Newcastle) or do they still believe the stupid posh Victorian upper-class accent meme? From some of the anti-Rey threads I've seen, you guys seem to have some awareness of chav culture as an example of a different UK accent.

I think most Americans view it as a social class rather than a regional thing. Rich people have the upper class accent, poor people have the ALLO GUVNA accent
Thomas Bennett
i mean there are 320 million americans living in 50 states with vastly different racial, economic, and social groups, so it's hard to say what "americans" are aware of as a whole
but a great many of americans know there are different british accents
Are Brits aware of the variety within Southern, Midwestern, New England, New York etc. accents?
Parker Bell
>ALLO GUVNA
They used to in the 1930s. Now poor people in my country speak like this:
>Ya fackin' wot famm? I'll fuckin' shank ya innit! Wagwan blud. BBBBBRAP!
Dylan Campbell
We know they talk funny in the north like on Game of Thrones
Jace Mitchell
>Are Brits aware of the variety within Southern, Midwestern, New England, New York etc. accents?
Yes
Boston is my favourite to mimic
Luke Reyes
>mfw out in Barnoldswick and I hear someone speaking with an Earby accent
Levi Brown
Do Cockney really do that rhyming slang all the time or is it a meme
Joshua Jackson
As an american it's one of my favorites too, I love taking the piss out of them and chicago.
Ryder Gray
>Rey accent
She sure sounded like a retard. Out of place.
Nathan Johnson
It annoys me when you get an American who fancies themselves a connoisseur of the accents here and whenever they hear a Northern actor they immediately go "Oh yeah that's a Yorkshire accent or Liverpool" and they're probably from Lancashire or something
Christian Lopez
>taking the tube to cunninghampton and you hear a derrington accent
Liam Garcia
Let me know where these people live so I can take a road trip to kick their pretentious asses.
Grayson Mitchell
Cockney is all but dead, but the few people who actually do stil; speak it are hilarious.
>Alright, so I'm walking the beat when I the missus gives us a bell on the dog saying 'er mum's fallen down the apples. So I hop in the sherbet get home only to find she's been telling porkies.

Its very rare to see a young person where i live who doesnt wear trackies. I guess that tells you something about where i live.
Matthew Hall
I'm an American who has tried to learn the different English accents but it's really hard
Ethan Roberts
I know a fucking ton of people who still use cockney slang; me included
Brown bread, apples and pairs, porky pies
Nathan Morris
Alexander Roberts
The popular Slang sure, but people legitimately from the East end who speak it properly are dying out due to gentrification and "diversity". Though funnily there's an enclave in Essex that do due to white flight.
Logan Parker
The glasgow accent is terrible
Jason Peterson
If it sounds friendly, it's probably Northern.
Sebastian Edwards
Why are the English, and to a lesser extent Irish understandable but the Scots and Welsh sound like an alien species?
Camden Kelly
Do a vocaroo of your best boston accent, but use your normal accent first.
Kevin Reed
There are two English accents: cockney and posh. Everything else is just memespeak
David Hill
Sheep aren't very good kissers.
Isaiah Scott
Weren't there a bunch of people from Scotland complaining that iphones were racist because Siri couldn't understand the glaswegian accent? Dunno, I'm American.
Cameron White
Austin Adams

There needs to be better drama's from the UK
Thomas Harris
They didn't call it racist since it's not the united states of white guilt.
Chase Ortiz
i know theres different accents but i can't name them and have no idea which one is from where
Jaxon Taylor
>mfw drinking in a pub in Dribblesby and some soft cunt comes in speaking with a Taffingbusketshire accent
Jacob Rodriguez
Pretty much this
Jason Russell
>britsh
>gun
Replace it with a waterwing or some other inflatable for accuracy.
Samuel Cox
Agreed, though its not heavily used, just the odd bit here and there
Henry Ramirez
>Is American media aware of different UK accents
They got Geordie right anyway...
Nicholas Barnes
No, because all of the American tourists in Europe have the exact same accent.
Jack Reyes
That has to be a joke.
Top kek
David Morris

Xavier Peterson

Tyler Ortiz
