No, sorry, but your accent sucks.

[EPolleys]

I'd have to say Brad Pitt in Inglorious Bastards, his voice in that movie annoyed me and entertained me at the same time.

Whatever accent my Maths teacher is using, i like to call it the "Tele-Marketer" accent.

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

Yes there are. There are hundreds in fact. In both the North and South of Ireland... there are many accents. There is no singular irish accent. The one that's imitated the most is the Dublin accent as its the capital, but I assure you... there are many accents...

When my friends from the states attempt to imitate my accent (I have a Yorkshire accent) because they can't do it. It's pretty damned hilarious to listen to though.

 

[Vincenzo DeLuca]

That woman in charge of the Reapers in Just Cause 2.

"My name is Bola Santosi!"

I think that was her name...

The accent sounded so badly forced that it hurt my ears just to listen to it.

 

[Artina89]

The worst accent I have ever heard was this one


normally I don't hate anyone for their accent but for some reason I just plain hate that girls voice. In another case I was somewhat entertained a few years ago when a Frenchman was visiting and made fun of my mother for the accent she sported (Pacific northwest American if you want to know) when she was speaking English. It was one of those "Do you really have the right to make fun of anyone's accent right now Mr. Peppe le Pew?" moments.

*watches...waits...feels quite sorry for the mother...*

Okay, she's coming on no- OH MY GOD!!!! Ow my ears!

Seriously, what the fuck is up with that girl (although that's probably for a different topic
) end quote.

Oh my ears. My poor, poor ears.... Someone really needs to tell that girl to stop talking and respect her mother. God almighty, her voice... is absolutely terrible.

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.

You're right.

The reverse really is true.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Poor fake Australian accents.

WE DON'T SOUND ENGLISH, PEOPLE!

 

[Blue Musician]

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?

In real life every Mexican that tries to speak English. Or what they call English (yes, I live in Mexico, this is not a racist opinion). Though there are some that can speak English just fine, most of the Mexicans cannot really do it properly, use the wrong verbs and mostly of all they do not give too much importance to the language.

In videogames, however, I haven't really met any accent that has pissed me off.

OH MY GOD!!!!! I hope i never hear that again! id love to punch her right in the baby! (Whoops, i mean face... or did I????!?!?)

Really? And how would you know? My best friend, D, is a pureblood American Irish, 3rd generation (his grandparents are Irish immigrants. He is fluent in Gaelic, and he tells me that the Irish have very distinct accents. Have you ever seen the film "Gangs of New York?" Listen to Liam Neeson speaking in the very beginning. The accent sounds a little like that; a lilt, almost sounds sing-songy. Whereas the Scottish accent sounds similar, but spoken in the back of one's throat--almost guttural.

 

[BoxCutter]

Worst: My west coast American accent is rather boring
Best: A guy from Randburg I was talking to had one of the most interesting accents i've ever heard. Not easy to mimic though

 

[Drakmeire]

this kid.
THE HORROR!!

 

[Yeager942]

I have a little annoying cousin who thinks she can do an English accent. She says only one sentence and she does it extremely badly.

"But what if I make a fool of meself?," she says in a high pitched voice.

Yes. You did.

That's what I meant. I just phrased it poorly. There isn't a singular Irish accent. I'm fully aware, I myself am Irish. If I go ten miles down the road from where I live in any direction there is a completley different accent.

I meant that there is no singular Irish accent. There are thousands of Irish accents and I have yet to hear one that sounds like the American stereotypical Irish accent.

Congrats to your friend who is fluent in Gaeilge. I struggle to get to grips with it and I've been learning it in school for over 13 years now.

I thought that the Just Cause 2 voices were so bad that they were good. It fits with the rediculous but awesome story.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

There was this woman at my store the other day, having a LOUD conversation in Spanish on her phone. Her accent was so bad I swear my abuelita (grandmother) would have walked over, *****-slapped her, and called her something rude. Agh... if you can't even FAKE a Spanish accent (or Mexican, or whatever) don't freaking speak the language.

 

[RatRace123]

I have to say Irish accents, it seems to be a really hard accent to pull off. And not many people can do it well.

 

[Tenkage]

All the Characters in Fable 2.....yeah I hate that Ye Old Sterotypical English Accent
