I assume that stupid "bike stunt" is cockney rhyming slang?

What the fuck was that bit about the teeth? When he yells "It's not about my teeth!" I laugh my arse off because i never thought i'd hear that yelled so emphatically. What a great comeback to an insult about your teeth, just put it immediately back on topic - this guy is no nonsense.

God this video should be in comedy for that moment alone, i'm howling with laughter and really can't watch the rest; upvote for the teeth.

Edit: Fuck me i'm glad i listened to the rest. All i can see is his teeth. This is comedy gold, i'd give this guy his own show he's a whole new karl pilkington. Man this guy sustains a high rage level and even raises his rage by notches as time goes by. Wtf was the bit about the socks!? And he even says "you donut", i didn't think we had any of those kind of cockneys left.

Do you know who he is, does he do a lot of those, where is it from?

I believe you mean good Anneka... >> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

good advice..?

I think it is likely that the Australian/Kiwi accents are closer to "British English" because of its (slightly) later divergence and the fact that there is significantly less influence from the United States and quite a bit more influence linguistically from England. Canadian English stems primarily from the language spoken by United Empire Loyalists who migrated to Canada after the American Revolution. Australian English, on the other hand, was based largely on the English spoken by British convicts, military personnel and settlers (a large proportion of which spoke with Cockney or Irish accents).

With a proportionally larger influx of people from British cities, particularly London and Southern England and, with Received Pronunciation being largely a formalized form of the London accent, it is understandable that Australian English has a closer connection to "British English".

Skeeve, How do you explain the Australian and New Zealander accents?
It's interesting, as to dialect Australians say rubbish, bin, spanner, etc.

BTW Lee Bamber's cockney-ish accent in this is far less convincing than his very good American one. He's just too middle-class to play working-class blokes.

>> ^kymbos:

Pretty sure that's cockney.


IIIIII see what you did there...

Pretty sure that's cockney.

How has this not been on the sift before. It is ancient, and the rick'n'roll (cockney slang, read 'troll') in me just has to scream: OLD!

This feels like a spoof video. He seems like a really good actor pretending to be a chav. The accents just make me believe it more.

Cockney was great, southern england, west country and posh england sucked. Northern was TERRIBLE (i'm northern, right by manchester). Scouse and welsh weren't great - scottish and (northern) irish had words he could pronounce and words he couldn't, ended up sounding dodgy. Australian i agree with dag was poor. His american wasn't bad to my untrained ears, but maybe an american would say something similar to what i say about his british range.

The more the video goes on the more i notice that he has a range of words for each accent that he's got perfect and others that he hasn't, which i think virtually everyone can do? If i hear a word in an accent i can do a great version of it but i struggle on words i've not heard often in that accent. For example, his west country accent, he says "green army!" which is ripped straight from a very well known british advert which you basically hear a lot.

I'm gonna go ahead and start the "this is a spoof/fake/troll" bandwagon, plenty of room aboard

^ Do what now? Are you saying you don't like British sifts, foad? And the only famous chimney sweep I can think of was Dick Van Dyke, and I think we all know he was not a real Cockney

Yep most of that is rhyming cockney. And it's not all straight rhymes either. When Michal Caine calls Mike Myers "My old china", he actually calls him "mate".

"My old china" -> "My old (china) plate" <-> "My old mate"

Funny people, the English.

I'm a cockney bitch! Come 'ere, I'm gonna cut yer!

I was a huge fan of the Hellblazer comics, had like eighty issues in a run. I didn't think this was a very good Hellblazer movie, but I did think it was a decent movie in and of itself. It gets a bad rap. Wish they had just called it something else and not wasted the John Constantine character this way.

The design concept for hell in this movie is awesome. It's a mirror universe undergoing a perpetual nuclear blast.

The ideal John Constantine would have been 38 year-old James Spader doing a cockney accent. John's magic should be subtle and quiet, more like trickery, and he should never wield anything as a conventional weapon, especially not anything resembling a gun.

Well i'd be happy to oblige and you'd be in luck, I speak the Queen's English no less I know what you mean, my Dad's a thoroughbred cockerney and I have trouble understanding him a lot of times, when salt sounds like sort and the t's on the end of words are non existent.

I'm glad you liked it love, it's definitely not a lotta people's cuppa tea it seems. I personally found it hilarious how he put aside any professionality whatsoever and just ended up cussing him out At least he was being real

My dream is to have a philosophical discussion with a Brit in a pub, but I'm afraid I won't be able to understand half of what he says. And god help me if he's cockney.
