Oh god the Welsh accent, [b]NO NO NO NO NO[/b]. I hate that impression of our accents. I swear it only started thanks to fucking Little Britain's "only gay in the village", everyone tries to impersonate that guy when they want to be Welsh and it is sooo off, there's so many different accents...
And the "farmer's accent" too, that's just appeared thanks to people impersonating Bristolians badly on telly.
Still, he made a good attempt at the South African accent, that accent's so confusing to figure out, I'll give him that...

jesus i miss that show it was called give my head peace, it was friggin hilarious, also im from Northern Ireland and the accent he portrayed is that of a sterotypical Person From around the Shankel, east Belfast, and Whitehead. personal that accent slightly annoys me and most of the people from Northern Ireland have Plain accents
Informative facts.
many MANY families can trace their ancestors back to Northern Ireland, infact one of the U.S presidents was born in Northern Ireland[/QUOTE]
That's weird, I've never seen a NIrish person doing the whole "laying claim to fame" thing. It's usually the people south of the border. Protip, people generally don't give a shit about that sort of thing.
Also, give the guy a break, it was a passable Ulster accent, it's hard for someone who doesn't live there to imitate the more colloquial accents perfectly.
He can't do the Canadian accent, no one can...
The American one was spot on.
Italian-American is my favorite.
this guy is awesome

I can.
I'm canadian.
There were a few small kinks in the General American one, but if I hadn't already known he was Brit I wouldn't have been looking for them. Most of the other ones were pretty good, can't judge for a few, but the Chinese and South African ones were definitely near the bottom of the list.
Wasn't expecting the American one to be spot on.
The "general" American accent is very good, I feel ashamed to admit that the average young adult in America actually talks like that. To be honest it sounded a little bit more Californian.
Most people with American accents don't notice the difference between different British accents, but most people with British accents don't notice the difference between different America accents. There are New York accents, Tennessee accents, Texas accents, Californian accents, etc.

I agree, I live in California
accent #3 is my favorite of all time
The Nigerian accent was fucking awesome
Funny, I'm Russian, and my accent is close to the US General one..

I thought the story part on the Russian accent was funny
What he said during the Russian part made me laugh.
"I vhill never forgyet that time in Moscow when Mikhail stole Dimitri's vodka, and started singing Soviet Nation Anthem."

This, but the accent he was doing was South Wales around Cardiff/Newport.
Up here in the North we sound more normal...
Horrible. Especially French, German and that sutff. But German the most.
Scottish, Jamaican, Italian-American, Chinese, Japanese, Nigerian and Indian was brilliant. This guy is awesome.
The Chinese accent is a bit too off. The others were well done especially the Indian accent.
Acually pretty good at some places
Australian one is a bit over the top.
Ask anyone with an accent to say "I ask the master to pass a banana" and their accent should stand out more. It actually works real well.
The Russian one is shit.
He had the french one very well!
