Dear Britbongs

Dear Britbongs,

You're never allowed to whine about an American affecting a British accent ever again.

Signed,
America

Ah you think english is your language? You merely adopted english.

Keanu Reeves
Dracula

Andrew Lincoln
Alfred molina
Daniel Day-Lewis
Ian mcshane
Idris Elba

Admit your country has many easily mimickable accents.

Lincolns accent is terrible though. At least it was in the first few seasons.

>You merely adopted it
No, they didn't.

And he's the worst actor out of all of them what's your point?

Brits are bad at southern American accents.

Most Americans suck at southern accents

It really wasn't that bad

Idris elbas homeboy accent was pretty shaky in the wire

That's true. Only the Texas and Kentucky accents are exaggerated enough to mimic easily

It sometimes dips in and out but most episodes it was damn solid

Kek that's a good point.

There are loads of Brits playing yanks and I bet Americans don't even notice desu

Not really, this just brings the current "terrible accent" score to UK 1, USA 981643818767215

Brit here, I'm always hearing about dumb Americans only just realising that Hugh Laurie isn't American. But give credit where credit is due, James Masters as Spike in Buffy is top class American into Brit acting. I also personally loved the guy from Ocean's Eleven.

It's so fucking STRANGE how he can't do an american accent.

The chick from izombie and Harley Quinn was a surprise.

Judging by House MD, I'm willing to put good money on if Americans never saw anything involving Cumberbatch in anything else that they would believe he was American and would not be calling out his accent.

It's easy to point out because you've already seen him in Sherlock and other films where he doesn't hide his voice. But just like House, you probably wouldn't even tell.

Is it really? I'm Kentuckian and I've done construction out of state, a few people correctly guess western Kentucky as my accent. I didn't realize it was a well-known one.

Blue grass and Justified might have helped make it as recognizable as it is.
But I'll be damned if I can mimic it without sounding cartoonish.

Growing up, I always felt mine was more neutral but goddamn, I worked in Boston for six weeks and that fucked me up. All I could hear was the twang in my voice. Justified is set in far southeastern Kentucky, those accents get pretty countrified. Western is a weird mix of southern and midwestern, although if you go to Louisville, it's pretty neutral by comparison.

Margot robbie barley has an accent.
That and Harleys accent is a caricature anyway

>actors are supposed to make audiences believe they are other characters
>instead of congratulating actors for pulling off good accents, brits use it as an excuse to attack Americans for being stupid

Is the UK the most insecure nation in the world?

>he thinks they didn't
>he thinks American is a language

awwww

No we just have no friends so we take the piss out of everyone.

No, even in the trailers you can tell how bad it is.

Brexit am I right lads?

The EU was never our friend they always hated us

So yes then.

Idris sounded fake as fuck at times in the wire, same as Andrew Lincoln

That's... not even what I said.

Just how we are m8 we're not insecure.

It's yanks who are insecure and can't handle banter.

You need to hear him in Black Mass.

What I am saying is that is is easy to tell hoe bad it is.
Seeing him in other shit would not matter .

>I also loved the guy from Ocean's Eleven

You've overplayed your hand, yank, that accent was Van Dyke tier awful and no British person - or anyone who's even been to Britain, come to think of it - would think otherwise.

>No we just have no friends
America is always your friend

You people have no self-awareness

>went from a major world power to being a vassal of a former colony

The answer is yes, not that I blame them, their glory days are long done and now have nothing but memories of greatness that they will never reach again.

>EU was never our friend
Germany exploiting the rest of Europe.

Thanks mate, since brexit I've realised USA, non Quebecois Canadians, Kiwis and Aussies are our friends, fuck the rest.
>yank says someone has no self awareness

I didn't say it was a good accent. I just really enjoyed it, his cockney rhymes were hilarious.

> We're in Barney!
> Barney Rubble...
> TROUBLE!

>I was born in it, molded by it.

(You)

...

>I didn't see white teeth until I was already a man

Holy shit, this guy is like a double-measure of Peter Crouch

That kills people, Carl

>Wedding ring

Dropped.

They've already lost those privs due to Sophie Turner

Bad actors don't count mate

Jamie Bamber in BSG holds the gold fucking standard for fooling us into thinking he's not British.

The rest of the time it's "flat nasal = American" like this
