Party Hard

[The_Russ]

I feel it necessary for me to go off on a big rant about how you only really hear the "British" accent in posh parts of London. And how you'd find it offencive for me to say all Canadian Emo's say "I'm gonna kill myself, ayyyy"

But anywho, love he Andrew WK in the background. Apparently that girl's MySpaz got hacked into and some-1 sent that message round. did make me rotfl when I heard it

[Graham]

Oh, I would fully expect a Canadian Emo impression to include "eh" and all that. It's the stereotype only. No offense meant, Russ.

Also, she's claiming that now... she still invited people in a public forum.

[Fatsobob]

She had it coming and still deserves a boot to the coot.

[Citin]

Theres only one kind of person stupider than someone who throws a large drunken party at their parent's house....

The kind that invites people from the internet to come

[JesterJ.]

It only could have been better if she'd posted it on 4chan!

So what exactly was that move called, Napoleon... I mean, Graham?

I think that this week's video proves that there is a large percentage of the WT done on the fly.

By the way, exactly what fly do you do it on? A house fly? A fly wheel? The fly on your pants?

[Captain_Anarchy]

That was an exceptional whatever thing. I lost it at Profs on film. Best Duran Duran reference ever.

[Misty]

Great WT, guys! I like the change of scenery, though the Scuff Corner will be missed.

Graham really stole the show this time! Attempting to find something positive in the stabbing-a-baby-135-times story, and the full 15 or so seconds of random dancing was awesome (in the hilarious and really dorky sorta way)

I wish British emo's sounded like that. And not like pseudo whiney american emo's (it's like totally depressssiing).

As for bands sounding american. I think it's just that when anyone sings, they lose their accent anyway. Even you northern americans alot of the time. So when anyone sings they sound pretty similar, regardless of regionality.
Unless of course you're talking Lost Prophets or McFly or bloody Joss "Let's-adopt-a-heavy-vally(sp?)-girl-twang" Stone.

That being said, I could list you a number of good artists/bands who sing in their home accents... in fact, I think i will...

Athlete
Just Jack
Lilly Allen
Arctic Monkeys
The Kooks
and of course...
The Proclaimers

Graham seems a bit hyperactive ^^
I like the sober (not implicating drunkenness!) Graham better.

But still fun to watch, I giggled quite often ^^

Soz mate, I hate stereotypes. Just one thing that bugs me. Plus i had just got up and was about to go to work so it sounded like me moaning.

Soz if i'm sounding like a noob. Will shut up now and continue loving the Whatever thing

Hell, when I sing that I sing it in a scottish accent. I've got a very slight accent normally (mostly picked it up from older members of my family who actually lived in Scotland) but sometimes it's fun to lay it on real thick. Alot of Americans (mostly get people from New York state around here) can't understand me even when I speak normally for some reason.

Back to the video! The "My hair is impractical" line made me laugh very hard. I like this one better than some of the other recent ones. I'm kinda bored of the news format really, it would be nice to see some variety but I'm not in charge so I don't count. Or am I?!

[Wrzlpmft]

What is a “British Accent” anyway? (Taking for granted, that you are talking about the English language and ‘British’ meaning ‘English English’.) Isn’t it just English, the original thing, while everything else is an accented variation? It’s like ‘German with a German accent’.

[Dr Frankenjam]

You crazy question mark diamond man!

What is the original English? There are a lot of English accents - someone from Liverpool has a different accent than someone from London. Most of the people on this forum are North American we notice that someone from Britain speaks differently than we do.

This whatever thing almost made me spit my cereal out....TWICE...it was that funny. also I danced with Graham, I just couldn't help myself. The next time I have a party I want a loop of him dancing playing on my TV all night.

[Alja-Markir]

The English language is an amalgamation of countless other languages, borrowing from, stealing from, perverting, bastardizing, and basically fornicating mercilessly with whatever languages strike its fancy.

The influences are strong and numerous. Accent-wise, if you want to be a traditionalist about things, only people who speak with an old Anglo-Saxon accent are true English accentees. As was said above in this thread, England is a mish-mosh of different accents within even just a few miles of each other. Cross just the length of London and you'll sometimes hear three or four different accents from passerby. And that's just in one city.

Because the UK has a number of regional accents, I suppose refering to an English accent is more accurate than a Brittish accent, at least when describing people not from Scotland, Wales, or N. Ireland. However, because the English culture is the most dominant of the cultures within Great Brittain, it makes sense that the term Brittish Accent be used to mean an English one. If we mean a Welsh, Scottish, or Irish one, we'll usually specify.

[Yukikaze]

Agreed. English doesn't borrow from other languages, it follows them down dark alleys, beats them over the head, and goes through their wallets for loose grammar.

For the record, I don't usually use the word "woman" or "man" in conjunction with ages below 18. In fact, I rarely use it in conjunction with ages below 20. They weren't 17-year-old women, they were 17-year-old girls.

I loved the British Emo montage at the end, though. Almost as good as the montage of car pick-up lines.
