Tom was really good. I heard he was practicing American accents, though? Not too sure, though.

I laughed SO HARD when I saw this. :lol: My favorite bit was the "order of mozarella sticks" line. :rofl: Stereotypical. lol.

Is it just me, or when British people try to imitate American accents do they sound Southern? I noticed, on occasion, that when they drop the long vowels from their voice, there is this twang that resonates.

I now don't feel so bad trying to imitate the British accent. Although, my sister can do one SPOT ON. I haven't a clue how she does it. :huh:

I think that's just the perception of people not from here -- they equate a southern/hick accent as sounding American. The same goes for actors here in America. If they're asked to play someone in flyover country they always have the generic southern/hick accent not realizing that someone from Georgia sounds different than someone from Louisiana sounds different from someone from Kentucky sounds different than someone from Alabama sounds different from someone from Oklahoma sounds different from someone from Tennessee and so on.

So funny ... I love when Tom said "The hell are these places, resturants?" haha

 

I can say my friend from London has a horrible "american accent." he sounds like a cross between a valley girl and southern gentalmen. It's pretty funny to listen too. BTW he says my english accent is spot on! :) Boo ya!

Tom seriously cracks me up "Justin Beiber is the man! *small pause* Boo-Yah!" My favorite though was the:

 

Tom: What language do you speak?

Interviewer: American

Tom: Oh I thought you spoke English

Interviewer: No American, the freedom language

 

lol!

YES! What is what that? Only 1/4 of the country actually talks like that so what the heck man lol.

:rofl: OMG that was freakin hysterical- loved the Twilight blows LOL!!! Poor Emma is trying to pronounce her R's at the end of words-that must be hard to do when you are not used to it. Emma sounds pretty good for an American :) Yes it does sound like valley girl because she is trying so hard to concentrate on the exact pronuciation... Rupert ROCKED-loved his accent...have to say Tom was my favorite and his comments LOL
