No, sorry, but your accent sucks.

Well, it doesn't piss me off, and there's no way I'm first person to post this in 5 pages, but:

Probably anyone in any game with an Irish accent, apart from Atlas in Bioshock.

i always thought atlas was supposed to be a Scotsman?

Evey in V for Vendetta, it's just painful to listen to. Stephen Fry made up for it though.

Read the comic, never watched the movie.

The guy who stars in this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocFumueZq0Y]

I don't even know what accent he's speaking in, but it's not very good, haaew

I didn't like Marion Cotillard's accent in Inception. I don't like her accent at all actually.

 

[Chelsizzle]

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

Anyone who isn't Russian trying to do a Russian accent!!!

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.

Little jacob mon. He's nearly impossible to understand.

that was my favorite part of GTA4. He's even funnier with subtitles.

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.

 

[Nifarious]

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 )

Seriously? I'm pretty sure he sounds more like he's from Dublin in Ireland than anywhere in Scotland.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

i an add for aussie ... worst french accent ever!

 

[Last Valiance]

The American accent. I hate the droning, elongated vowels of most accents in the U.S.
