Your accents are more similar to each other than ours is too yours, add a couple thousand miles of ocean and the image gets blurry. We dont think Ireland Scotland and England have the same accent. You fuckers wont shut up about how people from Liverhavershire sound different than those from Northanglerumbia
Once again Americans fail to understand that there is a huge range of British accents and the one example they have of ‘British’ is not how anyone speaks...
Yanks are thick.. they know about absolutely fuck all outside their own states.. look at their president for fuck sake of say he can't spell his own name ha ha..
The infamous ‘yorkshire ripper’ case had an imposter make voice tapes and sent to the police, a linguistic expert narrowed down the accent to a specific village with a population of like 2000 or something in the northeast somewhere. It’s crazy how much an accent can change if you walk from your town to the next one
@@leepicgamer3320 that's because you guys learn so much from movies growing up you get already get an idea of the American way since that's how it is in films almost all my foreign friends had a decent knowledge of English before actually learning the language
@Frost Blade I don't know what u are smoking dude Americans have different accents too I'm a welshman with a strong accent and can understand the Scott's the Irish and all of the different accents of the English it's because we in the UK have done this for hundreds of years,you fool your country is only 200 years old learn some history ,
@@mensedits Which part of United Kingdom you referring to?? Someone from brighton sounds completely different to someone from liverpool. And someone who's english sounds nothing like a pikey. Please explain
Americans have like 5 accents lol. In Sweden for example If you drive 30 kilometers from one town to another one. The accents will change. I know it’s the same in Norway and prob the rest of Europe. Yet in America they have the same accent throughout the the whole west coast.
@@svenskhast5632 is cause their country is much younger than other European countries and their population and accents comes from a small original bottleneck population. The comparitivly small amounts of variations today have arisen from divergence and further immigration.
@@svenskhast5632 I'm from North Manchester and I can drive less than a mile in about 3 different directions and hear very different accents. Apparently it has to do with the different industries in Greater Manchester, what mill you worked in affected how you had to speak to be heard over the machinery. A cotton mill worker from Oldham sounds very different from a Wool Mill worker from Rochdale, in a town a mile down the road.
Hazza - have you spent much time with middle class people in the South of England? Because I live here, and absolutely loads of people speak with that accent.
To true also the amount of racist shit about english and Irish people in the comments is pretty fucked and people thinking someone talks with a posh britsh accent and that Ireland is in the Uk actually hurts my soul.
Always irritates me when Americans talk about the British "version" of English. English originates from England. The clue is in the name. You wouldn't talk about Spain's version of Spanish. Americans speak English because America was founded by Britain and British people and Americans therefore speak a version of English.
@@spencerthelizard We speak the same language. How we pronounce tomato or schedule is by the by. In fact the US seems to be the only country that seems confused by the origins of its language. Australians and New Zealand do not talk about "Australian/NZ English" in the way Americans talk about "American English". Down Under speak English and would never be dim enough to talk about Britain's "version" of its own language. In fact the only time Americans seem able to be able to grasp the notion of Britain and British over England and English is with regard to language. It is much simpler to talk about "British English" than "English English" but nonetheless no less ridiculous.
We do talk about Spanish spoken in Spain. Millions of people speak Spanish, and the Spanish spoken in Latin America is different and has different conventions and slang. I've had several Spanish teachers explain that they teach grammatically proper Spanish as spoken in Spain. Similarly there are some differences with the French spoken in Quebec versus that spoken in French.
Over in Ireland and Britain those late night TV adverts selling dumb shite are spoken with American accents just usual Americans thinking they are the best😂
Will Mosse doesn’t have anything to do with what class you are it’s the people your around e.g your mates, also no middle class people I’ve met speak like that so unless u live in a segregated community idk what your on about
@@Murdocke89 Brilliant individual. Can’t understand the difference between a simplified keyboard and a simplified language. Also, Microsoft doesn’t decide questions of linguistics, linguists do.
Cameron My only joy in life is the concept that after my country is forgotten and Scotland becomes part of England that at some point further in the future England will become part of the US.
I’m a voice over artist in my spare time, and the English accent that joe (and most Americans) seem to think we all speak is something called RP (Received Pronunciation) which very few people in England actually speak. It’s often referred to as ‘the queen’s english’. When Americans think of england, they think of London immediately, and sometimes think of the ‘Cockney’ accent. The truth is, there are more different accents in the U.K. than in all of the USA. In general, if you were to ask a British person to do an ‘American accent’, they will likely imitate someone from California or New York, due to the majority of film and TV. In reality, there’s no such thing as an ‘American accent’ because there are dozens of accents throughout America. Just as there is no ‘British accent’ for the same reasons. Joe is overwhelmingly ignorant in this clip.
Kind of a blessing as a irish person i can have fast conversations with my kin and they don't understand when we grew up on American films and understand there english perfect 😅English accents aswell dont matter have fast they talk 😅
"I was in belfist, Northern Ireland" "its Belfast ya rocket..." hahahaha i agree I'm from Northern Ireland and the accent gets fucky sometimes even for me lool
@Liam dub accent is wild lol always reminds me of the scouser accent for some reason....one thing about the dubs I've seen on me travels they always so opinionated and sticking there noses in haha I mean in good way tho...just the way they are bred
Joe Rogen: Irish accent is so hard to understand Jamie: *pulls up video of a tinker* You're really not choosing a great example. We can't even understand them over here
Joe have a get together with a scouser , Manchester lad and a Birmingham lad a Newcastle lad and a Glasgow lad , your head will fall off , but you will get home safe well fed and watered
I am German and lived in Dublin for 8 months (worked there) and I was surprised to hear all those different accents in Dublin alone (Northern Dublin, Southern Dublin etc.) as well as on the country side and in other Irish cities (Cork, Galway etc.). In Northern Ireland (e.g. Belfast and Londonderry) the accents are different again! The Northern Irish people sound different than people in Dublin, Cork etc.. The variety of accents is really incredible. I also struggled a little bit at the beginning but got used to it. Great countries and such lovely people 😊 The accents and variety in the UK is another story. So many differing accents across England, Scotland and Wales. Almost every region in England has own accents.
oh yes man please explain this to me .. conor mcgregor and wwe superstar sheamus are both from dublin but their accents sound different?! .. not only that I've never heard two Irish people sound the same in their accent !
... Ireland has 32+ very distinct and prominent accents, mixed with a few slight dialects. AND we have our own language too (even if its dying sadly) Dublin has three accents alone... 🙄
Mate. There’s such a range of British accents. From London to Manchester, Newcastle to Nottingham, Glasgow to Bristol etc. There’s way more diversity than Americans realise. Manchester to Liverpool is 30 miles, and the accent is completely different.
yeah, but most people in North America are going to come across brits who are in broadcasting, theatre, or entertainment. so they're either going to be stage/classically trained, or have some kind of radio/television voice. unless it's a gangster film, in which case they're probably going to have a mockney accent.
Mistah Susan that’s the fake cockney though. I’m an actual East End cockney. And if you hear anyone doing those cockney accents from the movies it’s usually Essex boys that think they’re from. That kind of cockney accent from the films isn’t around anymore and whoever does speak like it everyone knows they’re a cunt because they’re putting it on.
@@Deadpoolio47 that name tho ... i agree, but at the same time the reason why the essex accent is just a watered down cockney accent is because cockneys moved out that way from the 40s onwards. it's the ja-fake-an accent that really gets me.
Mistah Susan yeah I know man. It’s the bald 40 year olds that have become taxi drivers and moved out. Some reason their kids think that makes them initiated hooligans.
My friend was in a bar in Chicago about ten years ago and an American woman overheard his Irish accent and came over to talk to him. She literally asked him "So you're Irish huh, is that like braveheart and stuff"
Several mentions of Belfast, during a conversation about accents, and not one person in that room had any clue that Belfast has an entirely distinct accent to Dublin.
This reminds me of John Bishop on the Graham Norton show, where he said how travelling from Manchester to Liverpool is 35 miles, but linguistically is like going to Narnia. Boy is Joe off the mark here.
I think it's an American thing. As an Englishmen I understand all UK accents as well as Aussies, Canadians and Americans. Yet most Americans look at me like I'm speaking Japanese when ask for a burger in a mcds in Florida
British accents aren't harder to understand, it's because American's have very limited media exposure to accents that aren't American, in Britain, Ireland and Australia you have a wide variety of accents always on TV and in Films and so it's easier for us to understand and also imitate other accents because we grew up with a bunch of them.
"They understand us but we dont understand them" - which them joe lol, because ive heard some crazy american accents riddled with words that dont exist
It had stopped when I was at school but my mother is 58 and was taught Latin at school. Most people around that age would still remember what it sounds like.
It's true, here in the UK and Ireland, the accents vary massively, even over relatively short distances! It makes me laugh though, when nearly every American film or series has an English person that speaks like the queen! 😂 And yeah, to be fair, the Belfast and Derry accents are particularly strong accents!
Makes me laugh when working class southerners think they sound much different to the posh southern cünts. You still sound like a southern fairy to the rest of the UK, whether you're "Roadman" i.e a chav or not.
I was in a bar with some Americans I have a mild scouse accent and they just went bananas. “Omg this guy sounds just like the Beatles. Say something!” Every time I spoke they just fell apart laughing. It was very strange
That guy in the video is an Irish traveler (gypsy). From my experience this is a rare accent that even the local Irish folk find difficult to understand. Actors often when trying to imitate an Irish accent go for this one, but according to Google only account for around 0.6% of the population. These guys do have a reputation for being good fighters.
Northern Ireland people talk different to southern Ireland so that clip was a southern Ireland man not Northern Irish that clip was a gypsy in a call out video
When they say a British accent they're just on about posh people from London. There are many different accents in England , I'm from Newcastle and I've hardly got the accent but people from different parts of the UK can't understand me and they just think I'm scottish
I’ve lived in England for my whole 36 years and I can honestly say I’ve never met a person who speaks like hugh grant or anyone who speaks like the English characters in Hollywood movies.
The fact that Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English, Aussies, New Zealand, Canadians and South African’s can all understand each other yet Americans struggle to understand other people speaking their own language only highlights the underachievement of your education system
I'm a southern Brit living in Texas. It's interesting. 50% or maybe more of the time people think I'm Australian. Kids at the supermarket checkout are amazed. Girls love it but are often reluctant to let you know, because they assume you might be 'activating' it to pull them. People imitate you ALL the time. Every time you get in an Uber or meet some new people, you gotta rattle off the same old story. Have some kinda answer about Brexit prepared. I think in general Americans think I sound more 'intelligent' but I tell them it's an illusion cus there's just as many dumb dumbs in the UK as there are here (true). It's all hearing something different at the end of the day. I'm obsessed with a Boston accent, it's huuuuge selling point for me, and people here think that accent is the worst in the US. Swings n roundabouts bruv
Well, how many places do you know in Thailand? Or Afghanistan? Switzerland? I don't know any, why would I have to know about every other country's places.
@@sinisterwombat3128 Thailand, phuket,Bangkok,Tak,Trat,Nan afghanistan,Kabul,Herat,Kandahar, Farah,Ghor,Kapisa,Khost Switzerland,zürich,Geneva,Bern, Basel,Lucerne. That's how many places i can think of off the top of my head
How is Joe able to completely ignore the fact that he has interviewed British guys so many times both after fights and on his show like Bisping (Manchester accent), Dan Hardy (Nottingham accent), Darren Till (Liverpool accent) not to mention all the British non-fighters he's had on the podcast and yet he still thinks we all talk like Hugh Grant.
I feel like the the reason most people can understand American accents but Americans can't understand other accents is because people who aren't American still grow up watching American movies and media hearing that accent a lot. While different accents from Australia, the UK and Ireland are so much more foreign to Americans.
The British accent changes around every 50 square miles. The classic accent comes from south east of England so pretty much London. You should hear Scous (Liverpool), Geordie (Newcastle), Welsh, West Country and Scottish and listen to the differences. Scottish and scous especially can sound cryptic, my dads a scouser but his accent has changed a lot since moving to London (where I’m from).
It's less than 50 square miles. I live about 30 miles from Brum (Coventry) and we sound absolutely nothing like Brummies whatsoever. In fact, people can never place me. People from the South say i sound northern, and people from the North say i sound southern. (Clive Owen and Richard Keys are from Cov, if you want an idea of our accent). Also, Manchester and Liverpool aren't far apart, but their accents are nothing alike etc etc.
