Poll: Best Accent Worldwide?

[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!

I think that was the idea.

 

[SaintMorose]

freaky-deky dutch

 

[Valkyrie101]

Either German or Scandinavian. Why are neither on the poll?

 

[LastMondaysHangover]

Either Lebanese or Italian

 

[z3rostr1fe]

Russian, definitely.

 

[El Poncho]

Irish accent, I'm surprised it isn't on your list.

 

[The Last Nomad]

I would have to with South american...

There is something undeniably cool about it...

 

[Jackhorse]

Ja-*heavily censorsed string of strong language*-maican

The accent is lilting and soft and instantly likeable when combined with the manner of speech

 

[Gammaj4]

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

In Soviet Russia, Accent answers poll about YOU!
Also, Yes, Russian is the best accent.

 

[Dexiro]

I love russian accents too x3 I don't have a definite favourite but if I did It'd probably be that one.

I know this. Just pointing it out.

 

[Guitar Gamer]

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! =.="

What exactly is so wrong about likeing a Swedish accent?
I saw Canadian up there and I can't imagine who in gods name would actually like the stereotypical Canadian accent but I digress.
