English In 24 Accents [rdbrewer]
— Open Blogger

This kid is great. (Content warning: language.)

A couple of Halloweens back, I was a pirate. While practicing my cockney-based piratese, my accent kept dropping out--and into Australian, Irish, and Scottish. This would have helped then. Link via BoingBoing.

10 The US southern accent attempt was pretty lame.  And the Brooklyn one was a bit over the top, but had proper traces, like dwog.

11 Kid needs to spend a little time in the South.  I reckon he'd get the accent soon enough, though.

Ha! Ha! The dude has to do a disclaimer to make sure he hasn't offended anyone.  Yeesh!  (God forbid he gets charged with some kind of with some kind of hate crime).

He was pretty good, though--so much diversity in one white man--heh!

14 Agree on the Southern accent.  Very over the top.  As far as placing it geographically, it's more deep deep south than what you would hear near the "northern" southern states (NC, TN, KY, WV).

Bwhahahaha!  Cribbed from Hotair, Eleanor Clift:

Obama’s background as a community organizer may be hampering him as president. While his supporters still like him, they’re not so sure he has what it takes to bring about the hope and change he promised and excited the base. A community organizer empowers people to do things for themselves, and in government, you have to lead and order and direct, and that’s not Obama’s style, even though Republicans call him autocratic and Rush Limbaugh calls him “Ayatollah Obama.” Obama has had a lot of success in politics and academia, and on the mean streets of Chicago, by reaching consensus, and he expected to apply that life lesson now that he’s at the pinnacle of power, and it didn’t work.

I’m loath to admit it, but I think there’s been a failure of leadership in this White House. Why else would a party on the verge of extinction less than two years ago be poised to take over one or perhaps both chambers of Congress? Hillary Clinton would have been tougher than Obama as president, but Republicans would have found her vulnerability and exploited it. I don’t think Obama’s supporters have buyer’s remorse, but they’re struggling to understand where Obama lost the magic and became the piñata for all the country’s ills. Republicans and the business community have been so successful in blaming Obama that if the next two years are like the last two years, he won’t get reelected.

 

Suck it, sister!

34 "The worst was south africa. No one ever gets that one right." I've noticed two different South African accents. One sounds close to Australian & less harsh. The South Africans I met in Ireland sounded similar to the hosts of Wild Recon. And they sound nothing like the cast of District 9 or the members of Die Antwoord. Which is weird since most of them are from the same town.

46 I've noticed two different South African accents. One sounds close to Australian & less harsh. Beats me, but you have to be careful of the heritage. there are a lot of English (Irish mostly ) and also Afrikaner (dutch) so that may affect it. Also, a high proportion of the SA's I have known schooled in Europe. But basically i don' t know what you were hearing.

Germans still have some limited gun ownership rights (was a big topic on the morning news one day last week when I was there; my friend there works for a company that makes guns...) but it's probably save to assume most American tourists who carry in the U.S. would leave their piece at home.

71 From AP:  Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.

I'm sure the crowds were a lot more dense.  They are leftists, aren't they?

I shit you not...my mom went to a wedding today where a Mexican-American guy was marrying my stepsister's daughter, an Anglo-American, and this is what she had to say about it:

"Gator, it was so sweet when they had their first dance; the song was 'I'll Stand by You' and the band sang half of it in Mexican and half in American."

Deep South, indeed. I would've gone (it is my stepsister's kid), but their will be plenty more where this one came from.

Posted by: gator at October 02, 2010 04:55 PM (aOKEC)

76 People might be more "inflamed" by a Beslan/Mumbai style attack, but how would that manifest itself? Obviously Americans don't drag people from their houses and beat them to death because they're Muslims, which is a good thing. But it also means that within 24 hours of such an attack, the "chickens coming home to roost" crowd would be out in full force. Within a week, a good chunk of the country would be convinced that it was not only our own fault, but that we actually facilitated the attacks.

96 I hate this site. How is it possible for one to refresh the page continuously and not find a new thread until hours after it started? It's a fucking pinko plot and I'm pissed off. Posted by: redstatedeb at October 02, 2010 09:13 PM

98 That kid is very good. He still has a ways to go to get to Peter Sellers territory. In the Goon Shows Sellers could go in and out of different characters and accents in the course of one conversation. There's a similar video on YouTube of Sellers in makeup as Merkin Muffley on the set of Dr. Strangelove going through various English accents. If I had a clue how to TinyURL I'd link it, but I don't and I can't.

Well, damn someone could've told me that! Hey, rd, you know that vid you posted in the sidebar "forget you" was originally recorded as "fuck you"?

Yeah, RSD, LauraW posted "Fuck You" a while back.  That's why I thought the clean version was kind of funny.

107 Evenin', all! Haven't gotten to read all the comments, and this is really a drive-by post, but does anyone have any numbers on the turnout from the liberal-fest-o-rama today in DC?   I can't find much of anything about it, but I'd like to know how desperately it failed in comparison to Glenn's 8/28 rally.   :-D

112 MWR, the numbers floating around are in the sub-100k range, with some as low as 10k.  Whatever it was, it was pathetic-Glenn was one guy who invited people to the mall and didn't advertise the speakers, while this show was put on by 400 groups of the progressive theological miasma.

That makes me sick.  How 'bout that little kiddie with her Socialism paper she was holding up, not even knowing what it meant or how it will strip her of any sense of freedom.  She can thank her dumb fuck mother.  The signs run the gamut.  Socialism, Communism, Love the Muslims, RevolutionNow, Illegal Rights, Che, Tax the Rich......

I'm hoping Beck shows ALL these pictures on his show Monday.  Something tells me he will.  American needs to know what these people infesting this country are really about, and the danger they present.

The way NBC framed their report, it looked like a packed crowd.  The framing cut off the thin areas away from the Lincoln Memorial. 

And!

They did their standup after the Memorial area had been cleaned up.  Clean as a whistle.  Just like those rotten teabaggers.

A few more years of practice and he may be able to make a living doing voice-overs for cartoons requiring stereotype voices.

I noticed he didn't do a Muslin accent. Must be a survival instinct.

119 The Blaze website has a few "One Nation" attendance stories.. Apparently the organizers really did claim it was bigger than Beck's.

There was a time in my life that the progessives (dems, socialists, whatever) tried to hide their agenda cloaked under some other bullshit. Doesn't seem that way lately. They are out in the open and proud. I fear for this country.

122 Wasn't C-SPAN using file footage from the Beck rally and making it look like today's rally?  The one screen grab I saw looked that way, especially with the Gadsen Flag's in the background!

124 RE: # 32 - hmm. Was out at San'O today, and saw an Edison truck go by. Never really noticed them driving around much down here at the beach. What I did notice was that the guy had an M-16 (or similar) mounted in the cab, similar to how a cop car would have one - vertical with butt on the floor, secured to the dash. Never thought much about it, but I suppose it makes sense. And I was glad to see it. Also glad I have my Ruger .44 special single action in the trunk (with 100 rnds 250gr HP next to it)

125 Not bad for a kid. Did some fairly believable stuff there. His American was dead-on.

Posted by: Corona at October 02, 2010 07:02 PM (h/nMz)

126 Funny, his American accents were better than his Welsh, Scottish, and Manchester (he didn't even attempt Geordie, the southern c**t) -- no doubt because of satellite TV, he prolly hears ten times more American accents every day than the others.

Posted by: Bender Bending Rodriguez at October 02, 2010 07:22 PM (B9I+f)

127 Aljazeera quoted the libtard rally's organizers as saying 175,000-200,000 so it was twice as big as the Beck rally (which was just ordinary weekend tourism traffic wandering across the mall anyway).

Posted by: Lawyer at October 02, 2010 07:31 PM (liBQN)

128 I don't get why that kid speaks with his usual British accent if he's capable of speaking with that clear American accent that everyone can understand.

My daughter is thinking about going to Namibia for a University of Nebraska class to study exotic animals.  How is the government there or do you know?  I want to send her but have no experience in this kind of travel.  Any advice?

BTW... the kid did a great job with the accents.  He got them generally correct.  Way better than anyone I know can do.

130 44 His first American accent was good Yeah, it was very good. However, someone needs to tell him that no American would use the expression "taking the piss." When I was in London way back in 1980, I remember going to a bad play and watching professional British actors play Americans. Their accents were godawful. This kid sounds a lot more authentic then they did.

Posted by: Donna V. at October 02, 2010 08:43 PM (TraH6)

131 What does "taking the piss" mean?

Posted by: rdbrewer at October 02, 2010 08:49 PM (c+cTV)

132 An English guy I used to date teased me about my Midwestern accent. When I got irritated, he said "Luv, I was just taking the piss out on you." Sounded like *yuck* water sports to me, but I guess it just means teasing someone.

Posted by: Donna V. at October 02, 2010 08:55 PM (TraH6)

133 Always interesting that the whole NE United States has all these distinct accents, but once you go south of the Mason-Dixon line and go west into Texas, all those Americans have the same accent.

Shoot, we have four or five different Texas accents.  I can usually place someone to with 100 miles of their house.

I have the #12 accent. I grew up north of #13 and now reside in the middle of #14.

The guy is entertaining. #12 sound like Quentin Tarantino and  #13 sounds like Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds, to me.

Arrivederci.

Can't find it right now but I saw one of the organizers claimed they had as many people as Beck. He said that their crowds just didn't spread out as much and were less dense.

So they covered less area and were less dense. I don't think math is this guys forte.

139 The facial expressions mirror the accents! He is so young to have that much talent and should consider acting. His ability to observe differences in communication styles is exceptional. BRAVO!!
