This geography show should be called: Guess the reference & description.
Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
That was really annoying
There is an additional variable in that they are also describing common stereotypes associated with the region they're impersonating - meaning the other person can guess without specifically recognising the accent! Boo! Unscientific!
Yeah should’ve just done the accents dan
haha me and dan are on the same wavelength
Funny how he hated doing the Chelsea accent, but it was his best one.
i think that was the joke he was being stuck up on purpose
That North Wales accent is so accurate - we all sound like that 😂
Brilliant north Wales accent, I detect Gwynedd or Anglesey. The fact that the woman had no idea shows how much Welsh accents are always depicted as south Wales. There was a recent drama on Radio 4 (of all places) about the early years of Lloyd George, and he sounded like he was from Neath. Totally wrong.
Best way to nail a Northwelian accent is to say “one pound forty nine plîs”! Early memories of Spar shopping in Pwllheli. Gogs am byth!
Notbad, but they should have had set sentences and not described the place... kind of cheating :/
Exactly. Too many clues were being given so not really guessing.
Loved their Chelsea accents. Howled when Beattie got South Wales
I would've thought Chelsea & cockney would be the same...
I'm not British, but even without the names of the places, I could have guessed most of these based on context clues.
The North Wales accent is spot on
my family played this game last Christmas - only there were two sets of cards you had to draw from each time - one with the accent and one with a phrase you had to say in that accent. You also had to do it in a certain time - think it was a minute to think about it and say it. It was harder than you'd think, especially with the more obscure accents. And there was no giving clues allowed either!
She's Just as adorable in real life, a good actor too
Amazing!
Elis James: *Darllen “North Wales”*
Elis James: O! Gruff Rhys!
Not gonna lie, odd yr exchange yna’n excruciating. A fersiwn hi o acen hwntw🤦🏻♀️. Swnio’n Albanaidd a Rwsiaidd ar yr un pryd.
No scouse?
How dare they put no scouse
No Norfolk? Such a distinct accent should have been on there, especially if Wakefield was
Norfolk is one of the hardest accents to do properly.
I am Canadian and I would like to see british people try to tell the difference between NA English Accents.
You all sound the same
how you doing, eh?
southern vs mid western accent is alot different anyone can tell
That would be hilarious
I don't think US and CA accents sound the same, for one example Vince Vaughn and Jordan Peterson. It seems to me that famous Canadian actors like Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling try to Americanise their way of speaking, but a simple TH-cam search makes it obvious your average Canadian has different speech patterns and pronounces certain words differently to Americans. I'm English and Canada is interesting to me, like how some of you guys speak French, the Canadian/French accent hybrid is pretty cool.
No Scouse? I guess it's finally figured it's not English
Awab Sherif British accent challenge lol
Its barely human
😂😂😂😂😂😂
use dnt no wtf ye are talkin about ye gang of nits. brummies defo
Paul England lol just banter bro, I love my scousers .
More people doing this please
I need to play this with my friends
That Yorkshire part was .......
Ahhh well... I don't know ..I didn't feel it right ...🤔
that north wales one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shock horror! No brummy accent!
Because they couldn't do it to save their life.
Ikr
His Welsh was more brummy!
@@GeorgiaGeorgette He is Welsh.
the chelsea one was painfully accurate
They didn't attempt Queen's English.
Chelsea
@@MissShootingStar5 Which they were unpleasantly snobbish and disparaging about. I thought the BBC was supposed to be impartial.
The Wrexham accent is undoubtedly the most underrecognized and underrepresented one in the U.K (it sounds mainly Scouse with a bit of Welsh and Manc thrown in). I was expecting that for North Wales but the North West Wales accent was the most convincing fake one here, probably.
It was so Intense that I started sweating. Then they were so funny I Peed myself a little. Oh my God more more more more more more more more. You’re so talented why don’t they have a TV show? Like a real TV show?
I’m from Somerset!!! xx
me too :)))
Guaranteed every person from North Wales (including me) is highkey triggered by the woman now 😂
I'm triggered by the guy - 'cardiff?' 'yeah!' Like... No,
Also it was a great north welsh accent... If you were from liverpool
Beattie is gorgeous
she looks exactly like abigail from skins. I actually thought it was her until i googled her and realised it wasn't lol
Yorkshire is loveYorkshire is life
I'm not sure she'd have got the Newcastle accent right if it hadn't have been for that big clue.
where was birmingham at
Birmingham doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy. They only have the train station, so you think it exists.
@@afunnyman So where was I went i went to birmingham
I'm sorry, but you were drugged and put under hypnotism.
I feel like the Chelsea accent is the British version of the Beverly Hills accent in the US lol
Yeah, same load of privileged a**holes!
That "North Wales accent" was more like Pakistani.
Nilguiri well the Indian and Pakistani accents are heavily influenced by the Welsh accent. I read that the Welsh actually taught many Indians and Pakistanis English
Ah, that's interesting... Now that you mention it!
I found this on the BBC, "Searching for the Welsh-Hindi":
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4328733.stm
Cheers
One Hindi doctor in north Wales told her that when he answered the phone, people hearing his accent would begin talking to him in Welsh.
"I thought maybe it isn't a coincidence, and if I dig deeper I might find something more," Ms Mathur said.
Particular similarities between the accents are the way that both place emphasis on the last part of word, and an elongated way of speaking that pronounces all the letters of a word.
"We tend to pronounce everything - all the consonants, all the vowels," Ms Mathur said.
"For example, if you were to pronounce 'predominantly', it would sound really similar in both because the 'r' is rolled, there is an emphasis on the 'd', and all the letters that are used to make the word can be heard.
"It's just fascinating that these things happen between people who come from such varied backgrounds."
The similarities have sometimes proved particularly tricky for actors - Pete Postlethwaite, playing an Asian criminal in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects, had his accent described by Empire magazine as "Apu from the Simpsons holidaying in Swansea".

All Welsh accents impersonations are dissapointing.
@@elinjones4743 cytuno!
No Northern Irish accents then? I know its the hardest to replicate but at least have a try!
I’m from near Wakefield
Lmao it's pretty much only the old farmers that speak with that accent is Somerset
Not true. Have you ever actually been to Somerset?
Drahcir Nevarc I live in Somerset lmao
+Nearly Witches AF
Haha, ok. But I live in Bristol, play cricket in the North Somerset League, and regularly encounter all sorts of people who talk like the Wurzels.
Yes, it is literally impossible for someone from England or Wales to try a Glasgow accent without saying "I'm from Glasgee". You try but you just find yourself doing it all the same and giving it away.
Shortest Geordie accent I've heard
Northern Irish ? Wouldn’t attempt if you are from the south of England 😂
I love telling people I’m from cowfield
Beattie Edmonson looks so much like Lily Rabe.
Norn iron?
I couldn't do most of these accents
Neither could they.
'cowfield'
i've never seen north wales being represented in these accent challenges before and the guy actually did it quite well lmao
What about the fenland east anglian accents wheres the love for them.
Glasgow really that’s sad I’m from Glasgow and that’s sad
Why are they on the josh set
No matter who tries no one can do a Mackem or geordie accent. Don’t even try. Please
Yeah, it's a difficult one to get right.
My dad can do a good impression but he comes from jarrow
Northern Ireland be like: 👁👃👁
Disappoints me when people think the whole of wales has just the one accent i.e a south welsh accent
Usually the same for Scotland - this is the first time I've seen non-Scottish realise that!
Carmarthenshire is not North Wales and they don't speak like that.
They said its not North Wales, and that's a pretty good impression of people from North West Wales
it was. I used to live in Caernarfon and I love the NW accent. it has that element of Scouse in it. and the sound of the letter 'T'.
@littlesmew probably.
Is this filmed on the set of Mrs Brown's Boys?
Everyone is talking about accents that were missed but a whole country was forgotten about like what about a Northern Irish accent??
Lucy McConnell The north of ireland isn’t in Britain. Britain is England and Wales, Great Britain is England,Wales and Scotland and the UK is NI, England, Scotland and Wales.
I am from Hampshire and I am insulted she thought that Chelsea accent was from here smh
See, Britain is already uniquely multi-cultural with its indigenous accents.
They are both really good!
No. They were both rubbish. That "North Welsh" sounded more like Pakistani than Welsh. And her South Welsh was pure shite. And that attempt at Geordie was just embarrassing. My poor old Geordie dad will be spinning in his grave!
I’m from north wales and I’d say that accent was pretty accurate
You should get out more and meet some of the locals!
errrrrrrrr I think she probably went to school with them?? are you a laugh lol
Wakefield viewers switched off
Erm.. hang on.. BOLEGDEH
That Somerset 'accent' was so disappointing
Meggolegit ofberk It’s just for a laugh. It wouldn’t be half as funny if they were great at accents.
Meggolegit ofberk cyder was pretty good imo. I’m not English and I could have guessed it. Isn’t that where hot fuzz was made?
Wow!
As if she dunt even know where wakey is
Essex ??
Innit
Hollie Mae innit like i was like das well supprisin dat it wasnt there innit
lol
Posh place in Scotland? Fit're ye oan about, like? Edinburgh isnae posh, just... less drunk infested.
oh piss off typing in your accent you plonker
Why does North Wales sound like a whimpsy Donald Trump?
BALEGDAH
Fuck sake as someone from Somerset we don't speak like that!
I ship it
I’m sorry but why was Wakefield even on there? We just all have Yorkshire accents, nothing special lmao
Imagine if there were this many accents in California.
Most of Europe is like this. You travel 10 miles and the accent changes or a different dialect all together.
Why the fuck have Wakefield and Yorkshire?
We need Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston to do this !!!!!
They all sound the same to me. It’s like watching Haey Potta!
Cute couple
whats wrong with chelsea?
Her Newcastle was better hahaha
Nobody outside of Scotland has ever been able to do a decent impersonation of the accents
th-cam.com/video/riwKuKSbFDs/w-d-xo.html
2:16.
People from Glasgow are triggered
Tosspots.
Cheap telly.
she looks v like her dad, but you can see her mum's features too. not nearly as funny though.
lmao the manchester accent was so bad
Wheres one of the most unique accents from our country second city? Typical BBC with it’s anti Birmingham bias
This is how it's done:
th-cam.com/video/riwKuKSbFDs/w-d-xo.html
He could not do North Wales. Got it VERY WRONG. No wonder she couldn't get it.
He is from North Wales, it is literally his native accent.
@@mavsworld1733 He's from South Wales.
manchester one was shite
Both Welsh accents were horrible
Layla ussuman the north one was pretty accurate
I know three separate people from North Wales who sound exactly like the guy that it was scary so idk what your talking about mate 😂 and can't say much about the South Wales one seen as she didn't really do it anyways
Bro the guy was welsh lol
What crap
Fucking shit the end.
Chill, Mr Negativo.
you guys do know there is no such thing as a "British" accent? Accents and dialects vary widely across the Great Britain, Ireland and nearby smaller islands. As such, a single "British accent"
does not exist. However, someone could be said to have an English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish accent, although these all have several different sub-types.
An Irish accent cannot be British as Britain is an island
Sassy
No. "Great Britain" is the name of the island. "Britain" can mean the British Isles or the UK. So it does certainly does include Northern Ireland and arguably could include Ireland although it is not generally understood to include Ireland, so to an extent, you are right, but not for the reason you gave.
Fair enough buddy thank you for correcting me, I wasn't aware of the difference between Britain and Great Britain
MMOJunkie
Which is probably why the game is based on the ability to mimic the different strains of spoken English? Missing the point or what?
Britain can't mean the UK it's an island. The official name for your nation is the United Kingdom of Greeat Britain and Northern Ireland. great Britain is just England, Scotland and Wales. The UK includes Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland became an independent nation in 1921 and has nothing to do with the UK or Britain.
she should not be allowed to do a scottish accent again... my ears hurt
Couldn't even work out their actual accents and most of these wete terrible.
This is poorly done and shoddy television that insults the intelligence, if not the people they are doing stage school shite impressions of. If you want to do British accents you at least get someone from the place, or even better: go there. Newcastle's accent is different to Sunderland's. Bolton's is different to Central Manchester. If you cannot do all 4 well enough to be recognisable you should not be doing a show impersonating British accents.
The inverse snobbery about Chelsea was not attractive.
An accurate portrayal of a lot of people's reaction to those idiotic programs though. And I do have agree with you there, the Chelsea accent is a massive turn off
@@charimonfanboy Missing the point.
@@drahcirnevarc9152 No worries, you'll find it eventually
What. What's annoying about a Chelsea accent? And compared to what - a Northern accent? No, of course... the Chelsea one is the one that makes you sick. Blimey.
LyleDeYounges A lot of people find "posh" accents boring or irritating
Inverse snobbery.
None of the people in that crappy series about Chelsea were actually born there,plus they are not posh. just rich.
I don't watch tv and have never seen Made in Chelsea, so I wouldn't know. On the other hand, I did most of my growing up in Chelsea, and the accent I hear whenever I'm back in town doesn't seem to have changed much since my youth.
