Who Has Terrible Accents?

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Chile. They’re borderline incomprehensible when they try to speak English. One of the Unions that I regularly have to deal with in my work has this like 70 year old Chilean dude as their legal counsel and I cannot understand a fucking thing he says.

For anyone unfamiliar with the Chilean accent it sounds like this:

Indians and mainland Chinese. Ugh.
What is worse they have this same accent no matter what language they use.

However I have a pretty strong Slavic/Eastern Euro accent myself so I try not to be too harsh.

Thing is the slavic accent is awesome lol

My accent tends to change on the day.

Only thing is that I say "innit" way too much. Bad habit my teenaged years.

Mine changes a bit throughout the day too depending on how tired I am or how strong of a reaction any given thing might provoke.

I grew up with the southeastern Michigan white trash accent but I've been in the burbs a long time now and it's gotten much lighter ....but if I get excited about something it comes back full power almost immediately and I totally sound like I could be the third member of icp.

East Asian and south Asian countries are the worst.

Generally speaking American accents are pretty poor, they often sound disingenuous.

Northern Irish sounds like a threat whatever they say.

North Scottish is almost retarded. If they're from the boonies and slightly pissed it is legit unintelligible.

An Indian person speaking English while doing this.

I've always enjoyed that. Indian people are cool. The India England crossover is pretty fun. My favourite people are the Sikh, absolute Boss culture.

Haha, I get you.

Mine depends on the company I keep, and my mood. I'm a bit trashy when I'm with family, a bit more regal in public, but innit stays forever.

Filipino accent sounds like chickens clucking.
Vietnamese accent sounds like someone about to vomit.

aussie is very annoying

I think gauging accents is heavily contingent on where you grow up. obviously all European accents are romaticized whereas Asian ones are still ridiculed.

I'm British but I lived in Canada for many years, and I picked up saying 'eh' at the end of every sentence. Like I do it waaay more than any Canadian I've ever met to the point that it annoys me. Canadians take the mick out of me for saying it so much

Canadians do that shit too? Fuck is that all about? I thought it was only cunts from the east coast of Scotland

If it's Niko Belic's then I agree.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Americans, Canadians, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Inuits

I am from the Philadelphia area, and I have to admit our accent is kind of strange. Tina Fey pretty much nailed it.

No argument from me. Many times I see what they are saying more than hear what they're saying. I've had guests at the house that thought I knew Tagalog. I tell them, "I don't speak no tag along."

Chile. They’re borderline incomprehensible when they try to speak English.

True Story, im from Mexico and the company i work for has offices in most of Latin America, once there was this meeting where a lot of people were casually talking before it started, my manager told us "if you couldnt understand a word...its because they are from Chile".

They are the Stipe Miocic of Spanish Language.

I was talking to a friend about accents. I mentioned, "If you listen to some people from Minnesota close enough you may actually hear a little Swedish in their accents." Then I told him, "I bet if you go to Sweden in 10 years you might hear a little Swedish in their voices too."

How about all those terrible Baltimore accents on The Wire? Baltimore exists so Detroit has something to laugh at.

 

[evansusmc2]

But I'd say Indian accent is probably the hardest to remove. Once you grow up with it and it's there and will never leave.

Which is a good thing. It helps distinguish if there's a possibility the random person calling you is a scammer. It's also hilarious when they try to duplicate an American accent. They just CAN'T do it. It never comes out right.

Texas accents are normal to me but Chinese guys with Texas accents is Kung-Fu Theater and I'd prefer if they communicated with me using subtitles speaking how Jesus intended those people to talk.

I was in Mexico on a bus tour. Bus broke down. I said to my wife, "I hope they fix this piece of shit before we get our organs harvested down here." All the sudden a very well dressed Chinese guy is standing in front of me. Then his mouth opens and a thick South African accent comes out. Now this is too much and I want to go back to America right now. I likes jokes but not these kinda pranks.
