I hate how US shows either choose Cockneys or Upperclass English. You have loads of choices of accents and langauges to represent Britain and you choose the worse or the most irratating.

Ever notice how in most American shows, their attempts at British accents usually sound exactly the same as their attempts at Aussie accents? God, that irritates me so much... I have no problem with being made fun of, but at least try to get the accents right!

Although that's an exception.

Pfft, philistine, haven't you ever seen This Is Spinal Tap?
If Fry spoke like Bobbi Fleckman (the hostess with the mostest), Futurama would never be as popular as it is, because Fry's voice would be annoying as hell.

Originally posted by CrazyDoc: Take Cheers for example, it's set in Boston, so why no JFK-type accents? Cliff has the accent.

Bender's accent is closer to being Brooklynese but not completely. The Professor is just another of Billy West's wonder adaptations of the Larry Fine voice. Worst movie casting ever - Keanu Reeves as John Constantine.

Originally posted by evan: Sean Astin's Sam is kinda-British, although I personally think it's debatable. Somewhere between a Norfolk/Suffolk and Somerset accent. Oh, and if you're talking Keanu Reeves, can't get any worse than his John Harker in Bram Stokers Dracula, surely the scariest thing in that movie.
