Alicia Silverstone's in Batman and Robin (yes, I suffered through it). She didn't even ATTEMPT a british accent.
It's probably be easier for them to do a liverpool accent than a geordie (local term for newcastle) accent because there are more famous people from liverpool than there are from newcastle, so americans are more likely to have heard a liverpool accent. I'd love to see how they handle a yorkshire accent though.dragonflygirl said:I Hate the fact that american films and TV always portray the English as either upperclass or cockney.
But it would be bloody funny if an american came to the UK for the first time and the first person he spoke to had a Liverpool or newcastle accent.
Or imagine an American Star atempting a liverpool or newcastle accent how funny and bad would it be.
All us bloody Northerners use "bloody" atleast.Terramax said:I'm not sure I've ever heard someone in the UK ever use before such as blimey, blighty, bloody, etc (why all the B words I do not know).
I take offense to that. I'm a northerner and I don't speak slowly or without intelligence. Same goes for most people I knowGeorge144 said:Many people actually talk like that.

It was so overdone, and it resulted in them speaking slower than usual, when British typically speak faster (compared to American accents). Painful.

I wasn't being entirely serious hence the at the end, though I guess this proves Northernes have no sense of humour either .).Disaster Button said:I take offense to that.

Its not funnyJimmyBassatti said:Trolling
What about the episode where the sniper talks about how he met the Major during WW3? That had a full-on stereotypical cockney.WolfmanNougat said:Family Guy, because their British accents and stereotypes are so bad that it makes me feel glad that we don't actually live up to such stereotypes, yet it's still preferable to the modern Brit stereotype.
But for the actual WORST British accent, it'll have to go to Ghost in the Shell SAC; their British accents are so bad that they're entirely nonexistent! The Brits all speak with straight-faced American accents. I guess the actors didn't want to risk embarrassing themselves or incurring Britfag wrath. Pussies.
