This was Wil Wheaton's first credited acting role, and the character he played could likely kick the ass of every other character he ever played.

Shakespeare couplets always rhyme if you say it like a pirate. This is because the Cornish accent is closest to middle class 16th century London.

The Cornish accent is associated with pirates because Robert Newton played a lot of pirate characters, most famously Long John Silver, and he had a Cornish accent.
Yes, I know the story, though, honestly, lotta rl pirates from Bristol (Yes I know that's Somerset, it and Devon are "Greater Conwall" fight me.)
In reality Cornish accents are simply the closest to Shakespeare. A lot of people hear Yorkshire or Welsh or even Norwegian, because that was all part of the London community that developed Early Standard English. Having lived in Frisia, I hear a lot of Frisian.
That is so interesting thanks for sharing!
Hey! I watch Doc Martin so I know what Cornish people sound like!
