    What accent does everyone find hard to imitate?
  • It’s crazy how in the U.K. you can drive for about ten mins and get a different accent. Especially when crossing the English/Scottish border.

    I'm Welsh , I was in a cab in New York . Chatting to the driver while we were stuck in traffic . He asked where I was from . When I said Wales , he said that's in Denmark isn't it ? Sometimes you just can't win ! 😂

    More accurate title: "Ten most well-known British accents with bad impressions of each"
  • @Confusius.
    They speak 3 words and get interrupted by your explaining. Impossible to watch
  • @BerkayOner
    When I heard the "West Country" 2:28 accent in real life for the first time, I had the exact same reaction and the most interesting part is they're making noises and understanding each other 😱
  • @finnmccool7543
    Less explaining about the accents sound, and more examples of the accents!
  • @Revjiggs
    How did you miss the Yorkshire accent
  • @foxxcvii7170
    As an Australian it's mind boggling to hear so many variations of English coming from the UK, being such a small area in comparison with such variety! It's incredible to hear so much difference.

    "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" had to be a Welshman's idea of a practical joke. (I've had to edit that name about 23 times...)

    Ozzy Osbourne doesn't speak "Birmingham", he speaks "Ozzish-Bournish", something only he and his wife can possibly comprehend.
  • @cyclone1274
    as a person from Ulster who speaks Ulster English I can tell you for definite that there's at least 10 variations of the Ulster English accent.

    I’m Dutch. But several years ago I had a colleague from Glasgow with a slight Indian accent mixed into it. She also spoke really fast! That was probably one of the biggest English accent challenges I had.
  • Cockney is literally the easiest accent to imitate even easier than red kneck
  • @seencapone
    Would have loved to actually hear some examples of the accents instead of the three or four words we could hear over the V.O.
