I was listening to a podcast recently by a guy from South Africa and thinking just how incredibly stupid the way he pronounced words was. Somehow all of his vowels sounded like the short i sound. Sith Ifrici. Like if an Australian had a head injury and was learning to talk again.
So, then I started giggling about other limey accents like that British foppish one where they make all their th- sounds into f- like a little kid learning to talk. Like, "I fink me teef needs a brushin, mate'." or the American hillbilly where the voice breaks at the top like Mr Haney.
The Mumbai accent is incredibly cartoonish and hilarious, especially when they start talking about food and doing the head bobble back and forth while they talk. Plus, there's like a billion people who talk that way.
Everyone knows the Minnesota accent is pretty f*cking goofy, but I'd contend that the Michigian Ugly accent is funnier, especially with that stupid perma-grin all those people up there wear on their faces all the time despite their actual emotion.
Actors in movies always get the real Texas accent wrong and try to do it like a hillbilly, but even then it's not ridiculous and funny like the other ones. Throw in a lasso and a bored horse just standing there and it's pretty humorous, but the accent alone isn't necessarily funny.
So, what's the silliest human accent that always makes you giggle when you hear it?
