Those Orlesian accents from Dragon Age. Yes, I'm looking at you Leliana and Isolde. Fucking annoying.

Worst accent award goes to fake Australian accents. Even the ones that Australian actors put on for American TV shows. They are fake.

Not sure if it's been mentioned - but Christian Bale in Public Enemies. Absolutely hilariously terrible. Southern U.S. accents bother me, whether genuine or immitation.

Have you heard any foreign attempts at an Austrailian accent... golly that was funny. And awful.
A few years ago, a leader of some south-east Asian country - Indonesia, maybe? - tried to make fun of the Australian accent by saying, "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain," in a bizarre hybrid of his own accent and stereotypical broad Australian. It was hilarious. Wonder if it's on Youtube?

But fake Australian accents in general sound terrible. Everyone seems to think that the really broad Steve-Irwin-esque accent is typical Australian. Most of us don't sound like that. Really.

I saw a talk by Jeremy Sims (I think) a while back, discussing Australian accents, and he mentioned this too - that Australian actors often fake their own accent. And it's true, they do. Why?

Because our real accents aren't what people expect us to sound like. When you hear a fake Australian accent you immediately recognise that character as Australian. Besides, we have a number of accents, watch Doomsday Arcade, those guys are from Melbourne, and they sound completely different to any accent found further North.

The worst accent I have ever heard was this one

Thank you. Just, thank you. I almost laughed as much at that as I did the South Park inspired piece.

"Whateva! Whateva! I do what I waaan'!"

I hate the Jamacian way of speaking. There is a self proclamed 'rasta bar' near where I used to live and it always sounded like they were talking in haiku's cause they cut out so many syllables and made their voice slide in tempo and pitch all the time.

I'm also not a massive fan of the fake Australian accent you see in movies. That 'Ah Dengo ate mah bebe' thing is really weird, I've never actually heard an Australian talk in such an uppy downy way (And they don't talk that way in Neighbours :p)

Probably anyone in any game with an Irish accent, apart from Atlas in Bioshock.
i always thought atlas was supposed to be a Scotsman?
Seriously? I'm pretty sure he sounds more like he's from Dublin in Ireland than anywhere in Scotland.
