Poll: Best Accent Worldwide?

[Snownine]

I love all kinds of accents but I would say British or Russian. I known there are different accents in those countries but for the sake of this post I am going to make a generalization.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

I wasn't aware we Australians had an accent. At least, not the GDAY MATE kind...

 

[zaddra]

I like a southern US accent, mainly that of Georgia, because they're the more educated and formal sounding of all the southern accents, no offence to any other southerners out there. Then again I'm a little partial since I grew up with it, although I speak in a military mash accent now.

 

[Dectomax]

Russia hands down. I would make a Soviet Russia Joke but I can't think of one.

How about, "In Soviet Russia, accent impersonates you!"

Win

I personally like the Scottish accent...just something so awesome 'bout it.

See Yhoo Ladeh, gonna smack yhoo en tha heed!

 

[Majora Major]

Australian... I think it's sexy. *hurr hurr*

 

[Astoria]

I love Irish and Texan accents. I don't mind male british ones but can't stand females ones, not sure why.

 

[Bernzz]

I love Irish and Texan accents. I don't mind male british ones but can't stand females ones, not sure why.

I think I know why.

OT: British for me. Male or female, I dunno why. I just like it. O'course, not all of it. Some British accents can be annoying as all fuck. Just...most of them. They're either funny or attractive.

 

[rancher of monsters]

Russia hands down. I would make a Soviet Russia Joke but I can't think of one.

In Soviet Russia joke think of you.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Australian, even if 90% of their speech is either incomprehensible slang, slurred by Fosters beyond all recognition, or muffled due to the large, serrated hunting knife gripped in their teeth. (Sarcasm)

In conclusion, 'Thanks for standin' still wanker!'

NO ONE SOUNDS LIKE THE SNIPER HERE.

NO. ONE. IT'S RIDICULOUS!

And it's bloody VB now, not Fosters, ya gay ****.

[sub]Can I say "****" here? Or is that too bad? Sorry if it is mods....[/sub]


OP: I really like Scottish/Irish. The one that the actor James Nesbitt has. That's awesome.

 

[Toriver]

Another vote for the Irish accent here. Certain French and Spanish accents can also sound very cool, but Irish just has to be #1. You've gotta include it in the poll.

 

[JLML]

Mmmmmmmmm either German or Swedish............just can't quite put my finger on it.............

Ok, if you actually LIKE Swedish accent, you're really, really, really sick. At least if you're thinking about Swedes speaking English with an actually noticeable accent. Otherwise, we're awesome.

OT: The Irish!!! Never, ever, EVER leave out the Irish when making an accent poll! =.="

 

[Meathands]

Clearly Welsh. Most accents are capable of annoying me, but I could listen to Rhod Gilbert's podcast just for the voice. Plus it's the best way to confuse any tourists who can't follow the language well.

 

[BrionJames]

Gary Oldman's accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula. If I had an accent like that I'd get women all DAYYYYY!!!!!

 

[Squirrel1328]

Other: Scottish, Irish, and maybe even Welsh

Being an Australian I find it hard to believe how people like our accent, we can't even pronounce Australia, its just 'Straya

 

[Athol]

Spoiler: This is what I hear when I think of a scottish accent (skip to 2:54 for his speech)

 

[reg42]

Yahtzee's South African accent from his Far Cry 2 review.

It was about as South African as Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond... Not at all.

 

[robmastaflex]

A proper Yorkshire accent, hands down.

 

[zombiesinc]

Eh, I love English, Scottish, and Australian accents nearly just as much as the other.

 

[Doctor Insanovic]

South African is awesome. So is Leonardo Di Caprio putting one on.

oh and NEW ZEALAND! god they are hilarious.

Is your friend a tall guy, glasses, speaks in a monotone?

Yes well, that is the New Zealand accent.

I live in Australia, we get a lot of New Zealanders coming over here, so a few of my friends are from New Zealand. The hilarity goes way beyond Flight of the Conchords. they're pretty damn tame as far as the accent goes actually.

I would know, Im from New Zealand

haha I see. lucky bastard. seriously best accent I know of.

 

[Squilookle]

Yeah no, that was not Australian

Oh c'mon >w< I knew that. I'm an aussie myself./quote]

OK, ok, just checking that you knew the difference between accents. Would've been a bit cringe-worthy if you didn't!
