Stop having American actors to play English characters. That is utter rubbish piss poor white flying shite.
That really is annoying, as the only thing they do is putting up a fake rubbish accent and speak in a totally odd way.

FFS it’s not like there is a lack of good actors in the UK…

And that is true specially for Jude Law and Tony stark GRRRRRRRRRRRR

And breathe

Im sure they’re over the moon with Hugh Laurie’s accent in House too, what with there being a shortage of American actors …. 🙄

Isn’t Jude Law English?

yeah Jude Law’s English. and Tony Stark is Robert Downey Jr.

Good rant Juan.

6/10

That is utter rubbish piss poor white flying shite

now that’s quality, Juan !!

At least we can do a proper French accent.

Must say, I can’t helping watching House, without thinking of The Prince Regent in Blackadder… 😆

House speaks in an american accent? Sounds just like his normal English accent to me.

only 6 pook 🙁
Shall I had Johnny Deep to get better marks 😉

Check out this guys Russian accent…

…and his Spanish ….

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Dick Van Dyke yet!

Irish, cockney, scottish or australian, you decide, Dick certainly can’t.

Druidh saddly I haven’t seen any of those film in English I was in France hence watching them in French so can’t really comment on that.

Merde, missed bruneep xenophobic comment sorry wont happen again.

Woah there, they’re hardy ‘xenophobic comments’.

‘Ello Ello’ was at one point a seriously popular show, peak viewing slot on a Saturday and some would say a vessel through which many British people first toyed with the idea of visiting/experiencing France in person.

That Gallic flair certainly makes you a little precious doesn’t it Juan?

soot nope just bored about xenophbic comment on here.
Bitten once twice shy…

Precious is the word.

How could a thread about ludicrous and terrible accents go through without a mention of ‘Allo ‘Allo?

Precious is the word.

or pathetic.

this thread’s gone wrong.

The only thing that spoilt Band of Brothers for me was the random American accents that Damien Lewis seemed to employ. He was largely consistent, but there were one or two episodes where I almost expected him to bring out Groucho Marx glasses and cigar.

Top marks from me juan.
For a French bloke ranting in English, it’s brilliant. Better than some natives!

That is utter rubbish piss poor white flying shite.

Might start using that myself!

Nickel juan!

SB 🙂

Some people never disappoint me… 😀

Sean Connery won an oscar for his Irish accent!
I had to walk out of Highlander at the cinema because of Christopher Lambert’s Scottish accent!
I agree with Juan!

How could a thread about ludicrous and terrible accents go through without a mention of ‘Allo ‘Allo?

Because ‘allo ‘allo is unwatchable, unfunny rubbish??

Juan – you’re a whiny little girl. Your nationality or accent has no bearing on the fact.

That is utter rubbish piss poor white flying shite.

10/10 for that line alone. 😀

I had to walk out of Highlander at the cinema because of Crhistopher Lambert’s Scottish accent!
I agree with Juan!

Even his french acing is very bad…

Juan – you’re a whiny little girl.

Nope I am just bored about the anti french going on this forum that’s it. Even yours

Im sure they’re over the moon with Hugh Laurie’s accent in House too, what with there being a shortage of American actors

I used to work with a couple of American chaps. Nice blokes. They were amazed when I told them Hugh Laurie was a Brit. They honestly never realised…..

“Anti-French”? Moi?

Are you on crack?

Point to any anti french comments I have EVER made?
I spend 2 or 3 months a year in France – you’d think Id find that difficult if I was “anti” French.

Nope. Back to my original point, you may be French yourself, but its not that that makes you a whiny-arsed sap.

Stoner, I think you are goin’ a bit OTT there. Lighten up please.

SB 🙂

Sean Connery won an oscar for his Irish accent!

I didn’t realise there was an Oscar for ‘Best Foreign Accent’

now that may well be true but the image i get means this is one of the funniest things i’ve read for some time – thank you

How tall is that copper in allo allo? I’ve stood next to rene (Gorden Kaye) and he was a bit taller than me which puts him over 6′ and in that picture the copper towers over him

It was good to meet Arthur Bostrom at Memorabilia in Birmingham in November 2006. He is very tall (6′ 4″) as you can probably tell from this photograph. His character, Officer Crabtree in ‘Allo! ‘Allo! is very funny as he mixes up all his words. I resisted the temptation to greet him with “Good Moaning!” He signed my War Diaries book for me.

Merde, missed bruneep xenophobic comment sorry wont happen again.

Eh?

HIJACK,

Juan, would you by any chance be the one and only, not to be forgotten french Juan of old? I very much hope you are, as I always left ashamed of the how you were treated and the comments that were made which lead to leaving the forum. Not one of STW’s finest hours. So, if its you, great to see you back on here, and from the look of your posts, I’d put money on it being you to!!

abientout (or something like that),

> Merde, missed bruneep xenophobic comment sorry wont happen again.

Eh?

Methinks Juan thought the “Good Moaning” content was aimed at him, as he wouldn’t know that this was part of the script of the show.

skid mark as you could guess from my grammar/spelling yes it’s me.

and he left (ie. got himself banned) because of his studies. Alledged xenophobia only goes so far eh? 😉

Nope I am just bored about the anti french going on this forum that’s it.

Juan; lighten up. There’s a massive difference between ‘xenophobia’ and light-hearted banter, which is what ‘Ello Ello’ was all about. You’re well out of line calling Brunnep xenophobic.

Xenophobia; irrational fear or dislike of people from other countries/places.

Ello Ello was about celebrating the bravery and honour of the French Resistance and people. Have you ever watched an episode? Yes, it used stereotypes, but they were positive, not negative. It was just a comedy. I really don’t think it inflamed hatred and fear of France and it’s people. Quite the opposite, in fact, as it actually inspired people to want to visit Normandy and northern France.

I think you owe Bruneep an apology.

You’ve taken the P out of mine and Peter’s accents enough in the past, and made disparaging comments about British people. Strangely, we don’t think you’re a xenophobe…

Couldn’t watch Black Hawk Down without waiting for random Trainspotting moments.
