    That's why Mr. Bean, the one good Englishman, has the good sense to never speak.

    American movies should have more British bad guys that have goofy dumb dialects

    The suave mastermind villain opens his mouth and he's a scouser

        that's a Bristol accent a significant portion of the absolute worst people in the Empire would have had that accent. Which means that it's pretty historically accurate to imagine a man like Vader having that accent

        Finally someone with the strength to say what we've all been thinking for years. Dude might know bread, but he doesn't know people.

          And he definitely doesn't know humor, Jesus Christ are his jokes terrible. And there's this weird power dynamic between him and Prue that wasn't there with Mary that lets him be a totally self-important prick

      Xenophobia's ingrained into action movies the way heteronormativity is ingrained into man-woman dramas at this point.

    The early 2000s had this fad where Generic Posh Female British Accent used :awooga: gimmicks to pander to Epic G*mers and was all over SciFi/SyFy channel blurbs.

        Yes. And back then, games journalism was ethical. That's why Rise of the Robots was hyped everywhere in previews and declared to be the game of the century before it was released and sold. Surely it is a legendary game that you have heard of and played, yes? :so-true:

        And the ads back then didn't have political agendas either. :so-true:

            There were 3d games as far back as the early 80s.

            Ocarina of Time came out in the 90s, as did Mario 64. There have been 3d games since the snes, although those ones were not very good looking.

    the only Br't'sh accent I will ever respect or try to imitate while drunk was delivered passionately by an absurdly muttonchopped John Ennis--a native Bostonian--for a "man on the streets of London" bit lasting 10 seconds in a skit taking place in the 1960s.

    he looks like he's going to weep from indignation by the end of it. total commitment.

    Surprised they didn't use a bad picture, American conservative media definitely would. He looks great, or maybe he's extemely photogenic.
