My American Accent

you do indeed make us sound odd, however, us mimicking your accent is quite the same :p
i enjoyed your video
thank you!

Well, Charlie, I think you did a pretty darn good job of that American Accent. :)
I’m British, and mine sucks miserably. T__T

i’ll say one thing, you never fail to make me laugh..even if you are imitating us Americans horribly(:

Charlie, you are hilarious. Even when you don’t seem to think you are. I enjoyed how you seem to think americans speak in a weird new york/southern accent hybrid… very amusing!

My opinion is that, since Americans butcher English accents all the time, you did a pretty good job. I’m American, and some of the “british” accents I hear make me cringe.

You’re a genius, and the accent turns out well :)

LOL you sounded like a red neck half of the time!!!

I’m from Canada, so some of our pronunciations are slightly different, but I found the video hilarious not because of the whole “Do you really think that we sound like that??” aspect, but because of the way you said the phrases (facial expressions, body gestures, etc.). It was almost mocking, which was great.

I absolutely loved this video. A lot of us actually DO sound like that, which I think is pretty funny. I laughed the hardest at this video more than your other ones, including your Charlie Randomness video, which was pretty funny. You actually sounded the most American when you said, “Dude, that did not just happen.” You also sounded just like one of my friends when you said, “There’s a snake in my boots” This video was amazing. FYI, don’t become American, you’re awesome being a brit. :D

I’m not from America, nor have I ever visited, but I do know a few Americans, and while you butchered some of the accents in the most magnificent way possible, some of the hand gestures and facial expressions were bang on. I definitely thought this video was very funny.

Aw charlie, you did a lot better than I might have done xD
I’m from eng-ger-laaand and I fail at any kind of accent. I can’t even pronounce most of the words i’m saying in my regular voice properly some times let alone in an america accent. xD
I wish I could go to america, even just for a couple of days just to hear that they really do talk like that (L) :)

The American accent cracked me up in a bunch of different ways, partially because I never even though about an “American” accent because there seems to be too many; New York, Jersey, the South, Rural Redneck Zombies, Valley Girl, the Great Lakes region… each US region seems to have its own unique one and I didn’t really put too much thought into how that would be conceptualized elsewhere. Your video turned a bunch of regions into one huge mish-mash accent, and that just sent me over the edge. I used it yesterday to explain the concept of accents in general to my 10-year-old very Southern niece – thanks for the help :)

*facepalm*
No. I’ve never met any American who sounds like that. Maybe some old man from North Dakota or Canada sounds like that, but not where I’m from.
Still funny though :D

Aww, I loved that video. And even though I’m not American, nor British (just a mediocre Norwegian blogger), I do try to spread the word about your blog. And of course, your YouTube-videos. That being said, I’m curios… How many Norwegians viewers/readers have you got?

Compare the numbers, Charlie! US is bigger “market” than UK… Try your Chinese accent now for billions of viewers ;D

Hurrah for Charlie! It really was a pretty good video, but yeah as you said, it fascinating to watch you attempt to recreate something you haven’t really normally thought of doing.

Good show =)

yay! finally some blog posts! i’ve been waiting forever!

A new blog! Yes, Charlie! :’D
I’m not American, but the video really amused me:)) Can I have some CAAAAAAAAAWFEE. enough said.

Most of those were pretty good, for a brit. =p They all kinda sounded like some sort of slightly southern cartoon character… with a hint of some northern accent in there like from Minnesota doncha know. I was wondering if you watch a lot of American movies? Or just Toy Story? =p

I guess it’s because when we do an accent from another country, with our friends, we find ourselves very good. And seeing you do it makes me realize what I must have sounded like when I tried myself at another accent (in French or in English, as I am bilingual). I think we’re mainly laughing at ourselves.
The snake in my boot bit was great and the outro was brilliant. It felt like you spoke “normal” English to me. lol And by the way, switching between accents is the hardest thing, so congrats!
(PS I’m from Canada)

Your imitation of Joey’s “How’ you doin?” was brilliant ;) good job Charlie!

Charlie! Can you be a makeup guru? :D

I think it was a hilarious video, and I’m from Israel! I mean, your videos are loved by people from the whole world, Charlie! I think no matter what video you’ll make, many people will always love you and your work :)

Hey Charlie – your American accent is great in my opinion – get well soon! Get your voice back so you can sing again :)

Hey Charlie!! I love your new yorker accent! All your accents were right on… You should make an other video… It was hailrious! :)

America is a big country, and one whose inhabitants often don’t think they have a culture at all. It’s a nation of immigrants who feel disconnected from the lands of their ancestry, but not totally apart of the new world, either.

I’ve found that Americans are fascinated when someone points out their American-ness. Many Americans will tell you they don’t have an accent at all and that they don’t share many or any cultural values with the rest of America.

I’d like to think the stereotypes you’d give Americans. If you think there’s a difference between the east coast, west coast, midwest and the south…

Haha It sounds like you are trying to have a southern accent! I’m American and I hope this isn’t how we sound to Brits! This video just made my day =) Thanks for posting! =)

Charlie, can you show your Russian accent?

This video was definitely hilarious! I’m from across the pond, and we’re obsessed with British accents. Especially boys with British accents, so I guess the reason why it was such a smash hit over here is because it makes us feel better that the feeling is somewhat mutual? Except you’re accents sounded like you’ve been watching WAY too many episodes of Friends and saw Toy Story too many times… But other than that pretty good! ;D

It was an alright video but I couldn’t really watch it more than once. I didn’t know people could do American accents that were that bad. Sorry, but please never ever, ever do that again. I mean it from a good place. Honestly.

Silje: Vi er i hvertfall to!

Hey, Charlie! You know what, My American Accent was the first video of yours I saw, and after that I’ve been coolliking all the time =P I think your accent is great, to me it sounded awesome (I’m from Norway, though). I also think that you’re unable to do anything without being either cool or funny. Or both!

Thank you very much to make me laught This is one of the greatest videos!!!!!!!! i see it 20 times , kisses from argentina

I loved it! I mean… I really hope I don’t sound like that (no offense but… uh… whatever), but ’twas hilarious.

I’m from Americaland and I quite enjoyed that video! I showed it some of my friends and we were all laughing hysterically. Your accent was like a bizarre combination of a southern accent and a New York accent. It was plenty entertaining :D

Being Australian, I’ve heard plenty of terrible and overdone Australian accents on TV and (occasionally) in films, so I completely understand what the U.S viewers would be saying. I thought you accent was good, but on that note, mine is probably terrible also.
And really, with all those people asking you to do your best American accent for the Stickaid Challenge Charlie, how couldn’t it go viral? :D

I didn’t so much think “hey, Americans don’t sound like that!! (rage, so much internet rage) but I think its easier for people doing accents use the exaggerated versions of it to emulate. As an American to go English and they’ll sound like the Queen. Your try at it (while hilarious) also sounded really twangy, like a caricature of a Southern farmer. Although, I still can’t believe how high the pitch of your voice went.

I really enjoyed this video Charlie! I’m an American and although you kind of had a southern accent for a lot of the video, it was still pretty good. :) I remember the fiveawesomeguys videos when you did an American accent lol.

I thought it was hilarious! My friend Elinor was one of the many people getting you to say “I’m going to disneyworld!” This was the first movie of yours that I saw, and I immediately subscribed :) I have since watched ALL your other videos and have concluded that you’re a comedic genius, and you’re pretty hot too ;) lol. x

I’m an American and I showed this to a person with a deep East Texas accent and we laughed through the whole video. It was funny that on some of them you tried to do a Southern Accent, others it seemed you attepmted to do a Jersy accent. This video you made was awsome and I happy you attempted it because I know if I ever tired a British accent it would be pretty bad.

You gained a new subscriber because of this video (me) haha im American and thought it was funny how nasally your voice was and your accent was pretty good if you were going for a southern one. But dude, seriously, is that how we sound to you?? I’m from California and definitely don’t sound like that lol

…DO we sound like that..?
buh.

Yah I’m American and I never realized that you guys thought we sounded like that! It was sooo awesome though, because you sounded like a total nerd, mixed with country, mixed with like a Boston accent. I thought it was one of your funniest videos, only because it’s wierd to hear what you guys think of us. But we are pretty much dorks, so you’re pretty justified in that evaluation!

To me, an American through and through, this video was extremely entertaining because over here, we always try to fake accents, British being the most popular. So hearing the opposite was just absolutely hilarious! It was definitely a mix of Jersey and Southern but at the same time, pretty accurate. Being a mid-westerner myself, it’s funny to think that to other people in the world, all Americans sound like hicks. Plus, after showing it to my friends, we all started quoting it! Ha, this video was definitely one of my favorites from you! It’s an awesome video and don’t underestimate just how funny one of your videos can be. =]

this is kind of an unrelated note…okay a REALLY unrelated note but i just love how you used a game boy in “believe in yourself” in your band! haha… look at me being the n3rd i am ^-^ get your voice back soon! <3

I’m an American and I thought it was hilarious and quite interesting to hear you try to speak in our accents (yes, theres more than one. We don’t all sound the same. And I think you hit a few different types in there, badly.) I found it interesting cause I hear Americans trying to pull off British accents all of the time and doing just terrible at it, myself included when I’ve tried to. I’ve never been sure what was considered an American accent, cause I always speak it so it sounds like normal language to me, so it was really interesting to see what you view as an American Accent and hilarious at the same time to see you do so badly at it. I’d love to see an “My American Accent II” video some day :D Perhaps your accent can improve with practice.

I’m sorry, but this was painful. “There’s a snake in my boots” was clearly a reflection of Woody from Toy Story, and some seemed vaguely southern, but it came off mostly as a whining child. Then again, I’ve been told that my area of New York sounds distinctly whiny to others, so I wouldn’t take that too harshly.

The thing is it contained the most pronounced part of every regions’ accent. Some were close though

This is (sad to say) the very first Charlie video I’ve seen. Ever.
It was posted on my friend’s Facebook page, and I liked the look of you, so thought I’d watch it, and fell in love. With what you were doing (and maybe a little bit with you :p aha). Needless to say, I started watching your other videos and subscribed. As a result, I found Alex, Tom and Eddplant, and of course Sons of Admirals :) I think my life would be empty without any of you in it. For that, I thank you.
Oh speaking of Sons of Admirals, just watched all the videos on The Sun website, shame you had a sore throat, you didn’t look too happy :/ hope you’re better now. And Belive In Yourself, I didn’t realise it was the song from Arthur!!! I love that show :D now whenever I watch it, I’m gonna be thinking about you guys :) Thank you agian!
Lotsa love x

I am from the states and I LOVE this video!! It is just go hilarious! I mean not only who much you failed at it but the mix of accents. There was a little new york and some southern. (or at least that’s what they vaguely sounded like) and also the amount of words you couldn’t figure out how to say like squirrel and garage. It was just so funny, especially if you watched it live like I did.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this video. I shared it with my mum. haha okay so I’m from the states, but I’ve started calling my mom mum. anyways besides the point.. this video was absolutely phenomenal and I do know some people who sound exactly like how you think we sound ha.
Even I being from Texas have this awful Southern draw/twang to my voice. but I definitely love this video and I love your epic fail of impersonations :)

Dear Charlie,
First of all, I’d like to take the time to say that you brighten my day. I love watching your videos and I’ve turned a few of my friends into “Charlie-fans”! :)
Secondly, this “American Accent” video is most definately on my top ten list of favorite Charlieissocoollike videos.
Lastly (but not leastly), I cannot wait for your next video!! :)
<3

I most definitely loved this video. I am from the states, but I have lives in London and traveled all over. I have always always loved hearing anyone try a different accent, be it a USA person trying to do a UK accent, or visa verse, or even an American from the north trying to do an accent from the south. There is soooooo much that goes into what causes an accent in people that most dont even think about, so most can’t pull it off, though it doesn’t stop them. What most people forget is that America is pretty big and we have a LOT of different accents, so there is no single Accent, just like it is for you. Accent change from places like London, Whales, Cardiff, wherever. Take The Sons of Admirals, all of you are British, but none of your accents are exactly alike, they all actually have pretty strong differences when you pay attention. Anyways… what was I talking about. Oh yeah, Loved the accent attempts and you should try it again soon!

Loved it. As an American it’s just funny to hear an impersonation of…well…yourself! It’s like when an American attempts to do an English accent and pretty much you just get a jumble of every cliche thought an American might have about England. It’s always entertaining to me to hear what Americans are sort of known for :)

Charlie, you should try and practice a Canadian accent (just saying) because Canadian accents are WAY better than “American accents.” Reasons? 1) Canadians at least sound like they are speaking a form of english (as opposed to the washed up crap you hear from Americans). Seriously, speaking American English is like drinking hotdog water (gross). 2) Did you know that American news stations actually have their anchors practice and USE a Canadian accent when sharing the news — this is because (for some reason) Americans better understand the news when told in a Canadian accent, then when said in an American accent. Cool fact, yes? Therefore I prepose that you practice a Canadian accent and get back to us! :)

Haha I’m American and I thought it was HILARIOUS!! I showed it to my friends and they thought it was funny, too. I don’t think we all sound like that, though. I’m from Philly so I have a Philly accent haha

washed up crap?? I take offense to that!

I’m from the US and, like everybody else, thought it was hilarious. I’m from Chicago so we say a couple words differently, but for the most part, we speak more flat than how you made us sound. (I don’t know if that really made sense haha.)

Yeah, I take offense to the “washed up crap” comment, too!

I laughed so hard at this video, its funny cause I’m a Chicagoan and your impression of American accents was just so silly cause it sounded so wrong to me haha. But good job, glad that this video did well for you!

im american too and i laugh every time i watch it and i showed it to my friends they thought it was funny too. you must watch toy story a lot because you kind of sound like woody with your southern/hillybilly whatever accent. i’m from the pihlly suburbs so i don’t have too much of an accent. its funny because we americans think we’re so funny trying to pull of probably horrible british accents.

Actually, what you’re calling a Canadian accent is also how we speak in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, WA more specifically). There are many different American accents that are extremely different from each other. Some are definitely better than others, I agree, but you can’t generalize them.

Haha, I thought it was great! it’s interesting to hear what other people consider typical “American sayings” and even funnier to hear how you think they should sound. Even though I’m from the US my friends and I can’t help but laugh when we try to imitate other american accents or any other accents really (we’re not very good at them :p ). So it’s twice as funny to hear what someone from another country thinks our accent should sound like.
Wouldn’t you laugh if you heard an average american attempt a British accent and fail? XD

I have to say, as a fellow Brit I thought your accents sounded exactly like I hear Americans. However they seem to disagree a bit, I’m rather confused.

As a Brit I can safely say…..Canadians have their own accent? I can’t tell the difference at all.

i have to say, that your american accent was a mix between different regions. it kinda had a new yorker/ southern sound to it. which is strange and i could never recreate it for anyone, so i just send them to youtube. ha. i have british grandparents so i understand where you are coming from when yall say thats what you hear cause they ask me to repeat alot of what i say to them. good try though. :)

I thought the video was hilarious. I’m American and I definitely thought after watching it: “is that what people in other countries think we sound like?” I thought through most of the video you sounded like an amalgamation of bad movie references, although I really enjoyed “dude, that did not just happen,” which I was almost certain came from too many “Finding Nemo” viewings.

The funniest (or most interesting?) portion of the video was the end where you said you would be back to speaking “normally” for your next video. Just goes to show that in the UK, just like in America, you don’t believe you have an accent. You’re the one who speaks normally and we’re the ones who talk funny.

I have shown this video to so many of my friends, and it never gets old. I think it’s because we all have a facination with accents. Coming from a Southern girl, you sounded pretty Northern, except of course, that interesting impersination of Forrest Gump. It’s funny, we’ve actually started to immitate your atempt at an American accent any time we say anything that you did in the video. As a side note: Americans pronounce “Schedule” as SKED-jool” or “SKED-joo-all”. No “Sh” sound.

I thought it was pretty good and I’m from America. I could never pull off a British accent. Good job! :D

You did a good job at the accents you did do. Mostly Western and New York accents. You have to try California accents! That’s where I’m from and whenever I hear a British person trying to say it it is hilarious! You are sooo funny anyways! Keep doing what you are doing.

this made my night. I mean, I have seen it before, but it never gets old. In America, (well, at least in Texas) people like to do a “british accent”, based on phrases we have seen from Harry Potter, and things like that. I never really thought about british people doing an American accent though, and it’s funny, because depending where you are in America, everyone sounds different. I suppose that is how it is in England as well, but like i said, I have never really considered it. Than again, lots of people in America think Texans have a southern drawl, when, in fact, most of us don’t even have an accent at all! Back to your video though, your real cute. Your bad american accent has inspired me to keep using my bad british one. Though, maybe not in front of British people. ;)

Im from America, and my friend and I quote this frequently, almost all the time to be exact. And we LOVE it. I personally love your American accent and Im sure someone somewhere on this side of the pond sortof maybe sounds like that. Or not. It was an awesome video to watch and it certainly makes my day every day that I choose to watch it. Extraspecially the “glass of water” bit that you say. Mostly the part where you’re trying to figure out how to say “water” in an American accent.

I have a question: That bridge in London, looking out over the water and “Big Ben” what’s the name of it. It is one of my passions to visit all parts of England, and from the pictures and various Monty Python clips that I’ve seen, the view from that bridge seems to be my favorite. Though I’ve never seen it in person. Anyway, if you’ve forgotten the question by now, what’s the name of that bridge and if you’re not sure which one Im speaking of that is alright by me.

Im going to post this with my e-mail, but any type of response is just fine.

Most of Canada is French, so the Canadian accent has an evolved French accent added into it. And they also say “Eh?” alot haha

RIght, so at times you sounded dead-on with certain people I’ve known and how they speak – unfortunately, I’d have to honestly say that if everyone over here spoke as you did in this video, I’d go mad rather quickly. I mean, we Americans are definitely the whiniest ethnic group in the history of man, but I don’t think we sound like it _all_ of the time, contrary to how your accent sounded. :)

I think that it’s tough to speak in a foreign accent and have it pass with native speakers…Americans who try to speak in an English accent usually emulate (as others have said) characters they’ve seen in film, television, or music to the best of their ability, but the way these people speak is most definitely not the way all Englishmen speak, so we have that gap.

That being said, there are plenty of people who nail foreign accents quite brilliantly – the best Englishman to nail an American accent (to my knowledge) is Hugh Laurie whilst playing Dr. House on the American television show House. I mean, I’d say 90% of all Americans who watch House don’t know he’s even British, so if he’s fooling that many people, you know he’s doing something correctly (then again, it’s not that hard to fool us Americans in just about any way).

Anyway, I enjoyed the video and at the least it made me laugh, so whatever you’re doing is still working.

P.S. I don’t understand how you say the word “aluminum” can flow off of the tongue as easily as you make it seem.

Tower Bridge, it overlooks the river Thames. It’s a beautiful site if you get a chance to go.

I thought it was pretty hilarious that most of your lines are from movies esp Disney movies lol

I think that it definitely is more a more entertaining video if you are American or live in the United States. Not only does the question, “Do you think we talk like that?” pop up in your head, but I thought the other way around. Although I’m Swedish I grew up in the U.S. with an American accent on my english, I adore British accents. What I thought when I saw this video was that, “Wow, whenever I speak in a British accent, and it sounds decent to me, this is the inverse of what is happening in this video to me.” Your accent came across as a bit generic, though leaning towards a southern dork, and I just thought, “Now I know why my British friends laugh at my fake accent so much.” It was indeed very entertaining, and I think successful because it raises an interesting and amusing thought on language. In short, I lol-ed.

wholly cow, so nasal!! @.@ It’s like…a stereotype nerd voice ><

I have watched this video numerously and still find it as hilarious as the last. Being American would probably make a difference because you know, you can’t do the accent! Well, I can hardly talk, I have never in my life seen or talked to an american. You should have bassed it around the amazing John and Hank Green. They’re American! Still a great video, and I love ‘Water’ because you sounded like Wall-e and also love ‘How you doing’ and ‘squirrel’ ‘garage’ <3

I’m from Singapore so I don’t know much about the American/ British accents, but I know that I got half my class to start watching you because of this video – it was hilarious!

‘Squirrl’ and ‘Dude that did not just happen’ were the most epic of the lot :)

Hi Charlie!
I’m working on a project at school about you, and I wondered if it is ok that I play one of your songs in class?
Btw. I love your videos ;)

Hi there! Charlie! I like your videos!

this video is amazing.
i play it in the englsih class and all the people think the same

one question… you speak spanish?
why you say número uno?

Plan. Retaliation. We get an American youtuber (maybe John or Hank?) to do this video again, saying all these things whilst trying to speak with a British accent. That way we British get to hear what you guys think WE sound like. =D

I really liked that your “American” accent seemed to switch regions of the US. At first you were more from New York, then you slowly moved towards the south. Either way very amusing, I watched it five times in a row.

There are more Americans than British people, so I would argue that we’re the normal ones, just sayin

I’m from Canada, but I think for at least some of the phrases your accent was spot on. It was quite an enjoyable video to watch!

(From an American at university in Scotland)

See, your accent isn’t actually that bad in places. The problem is that you seem to feel that bizarre voices — nasal, etc. — are necessary to get into character, thus making the accent absolutely obnoxious. You do seem to have several accents, but none of them are General American (the American equivilant of Received Pronunciation); they’re more exaggerated versions of various East Coast, Hick, and Californian accents — which practically no one actually has.

I watched all 24 hours of StickAid from California, meaning I got up at 4 AM and didn’t go to sleep until 4 AM the next day. I actually didn’t think your accent was that bad as I watched it live, but it definitely seemed worse with the echo on the camera. You actually did a good job with a lot of the phrases, including “squirrel,” which was my suggestion :D

Yeah, it was definitely a fascinating video to watch, from my American standpoint. Also, I had watched you filming it on stickaid, so the two different perspectives of the video were really interesting to see.
As an American, it was hilarious to see the way you over-pronounced certain iconic sounds of various American accents, and the way you went through and ended up mixing together different regions of the USA. I heard what were definitely imitations of New England, Southern, Midwestern, and Californian (the latter being the one you did best with – like “dude, those waves are gnarly”). But what I heard most was something akin to the way they talked in the old show “Leave It to Beaver,” which far as I can figure, must be how the English interpret the accent I have, which is an East Coast accent, or as I’ve heard it called, a lack of accent.
Altogether, I guess I would say Americans liked that video because it was funny, fascinating, and even cute, to hear how other countries view our voices. People always wonder what other think of them from an outside perspective, and this was a sort of broad version of that curiosity fulfilled.

I’m not actually from America, but I am from Canada, so our accents are pretty much the same for the most part. I thought your video was hilarious! You actually didn’t sound that bad. There were some phrases that need some work, but for the most part you were alright. The only thing is that you seem to change the sound of the accent form time to time. You sound like your from the Boston area when you say “I need some coffee,” but you sound like your from Texas when you said “Life is like a box of chocolates.” Overall, an amazing video as usual, and I’m very excited for the next. :)

The funniest thing about yoru American accent is that you covered a lot of different parts of America. For example, “I need some coffee?” TOTALLY New Jersey. Believe me, I know. My mom is a Jersey girl, though she only actually talks like that when she’s really tired. Other lines sounded Southern (particularly Arkansas or Oklahoma), Californian, I think you even got some Michigan in. XD You’re better at American accents than most American are at British, though. It seems to always be that way; look at some British actors, for instance. Christian Bale, Hugh Laurie, Johnny Depp, etc. Overall it wasn’t too bad, although it *is* funny that you think we sound that way on some of the more exaggerated phrases. :-P

i absoltuly loved this you should do another like a scottish accent but do a video full of diffferent ones and alex could do some aswell hahaha :L keep them coming charlie as im lovin the ones you have already done even though i have only just found out about and i already love them all. you are pretty cool like. and i love you
from you biggest fan ever >.< x

as an American and native New Yorker I really enjoyed your take on American accents. Each region of the country has a unique sound and tho in general your accents were exaggerated and a bit mixed up, if you look hard enough you can find people that really talk like that (or at least similar to that).I honestly would expect if you asked anyone from another country to try an American accent it would sound similar to yours because of exposure to TV and movies.I know if I were asked to try my best British accent it would just be an over exaggerated version of lines from Dr Who, Spaced, Top Gear and Mary Poppins! and you would probably laugh your ass off at it just as I did watching your vid. Keep up the great work and looking forward to future vids.
Cheers =]

I really, really enjoy this video, I’m watching it every day!!

This is the first video of yours that I saw. I found it really funny and I showed my friends and my bro (most of whom thought it was hilarious, too, and have been watching you since). My fave part was “Squirrel.. ???? That doesn’t sound like a word!” Also, you made my grandpa happy: he can’t pronounce alluminum and it turns out he just says it with a british accent xD that was hilarious
So I don’t know because I have a Canadian accent, but to me the accent sounded right, but your voice was weird :S sorry, but it’s true :P

I thought American people did sound like that? :O

I’m from America, and I thought that your American Accent video was one of the funniest ones you’ve done. I think it’s really interesting to hear that you didn’t think that this video would be that big of a hit, which is why I love it when you do these blogs.
I thinks it’s really funny, because no offense, but your American accent is kind of terrible. Americans try to imitate British accents all the time, but I had never thought of Brits trying to imitate us. I feel like most of the time people from England do try to imitate Americans, they just sound like really bad southern accents, which is hilarious.
But yeah, all of my friends and I absolutely loved the video (:

Charlie, there was a reason people had continuously requested for you to do an American accent in a video.

And, now you know why.

I LOVE THIS. i’m from america… so i dont know if thats really a good thing. oh well.. haha

i loved this it was so funny, i am from the UK and i still think it wasn’t the greatest accent in the world but it was still entertaining! for once someone british does an american accent instead of the other way round, when its americans doing british accents its posh lol :D :D :D :D

I’m an American college student studying in London and I’m very aware of my awful, nasal Chicago accent all the time! Everyone sounds lovely here. I wish our accents were remotely attractive; alas.

I’m not surprised at all how popular this has become. In fact, I’m surprised you’re surprised! Maybe this is a distinctly American trait, but for some reason or another, we love- LOVE- asking foreigners about us. “What do you think about Americans?” “How can you tell that I’m American?” “Can you do an American accent?” We are so tempted to ask these questions, and are so interested in the answers. Thus, your video is a smash hit.

I haven’t had a single Brit ask me, “How is my accent? Can you tell I’m British? How are my teeth? Do you think I like tea?” I blame this on America being such a self-absorbed culture. American schooling is basically romanticized American history. American news covers American celebrities. To be honest, we don’t really pay too much attention the rest of the world. I’m not proud of this fact, and I hate to be cynical, but it’s true!

I could really go on about this forever, as I think the crossings of cultures are really fascinating, and this is why I’m here in London. I’d love to interview you for my “UK Popular culture in the US/US Popular culture in the UK” class! Hopefully these comments provided some insight. :)

btw i think that squirrel and i need some coffee were best they sounded cool, when my friends saw it we kept saying hey girlfriend hey to one of my friends to annoy her but we sounded really stupid because we cant do the american accents LOL it was a failed plan.

As an American, the different accents that you tried were all really hilarious just because it was obvious that they’re all fostered from different American media stereotypes such as Woody and Joey from Friends. And then I guess what you would call your “normal” American accent sounded like a really over-excited pre-pubescent car salesman. I guess hearing someone from a different country’s interpretation of something that’s so native to you is just really entertaining.

I have a funny english accent myself, although that’s because spanish is my first language (I’m from Chile). I only learned english when I was eight, so that’s eleven years of speaking, and still my accent is weird! But this was a fun thing to watch, I have to say particularly the Joey Tribbiani impression, and the “I have a snake in my boot”. I think this video got so many views because, as it happens with your videos, it’s really fun to watch… obviously! After all, Isn’t that what we all want when it comes to a Charlie Video?

fact: the only thing that american people love more then an english accent it an english person attempting an american accent!

I’m from Chicago, too! Every day I wonder why we have to speak as though our noses are plugged…

I think you explained this really well. America is extremely self-absorbed and weird in that way… it’s almost kinda funny. I’ve never been out of the states, but when I do eventually leave, you can be sure that I’ll be one of those tourists who is asking the foreigners if they could do an American accent well. But Charlie, you should do a video about your French or German accent and compare the views! could be interesting :)

It was, in fact, fascinating to watch you try and bang out an American accent. I did find myself wondering if that’s what you really think we poor Americans sound like… Regardless it’s always utterly amusing to watch the British try on out our accents.

Charlie, this is super hilarious! After watching you video, I still don’t get why my friends said my American accent is as weird as yours. Living in Thailand for 11 years, I found it quite hard to speak English in the American accent because you know, Thai people speak Thai, which is not similar to English at all! Anyway, I was able to speak it, but once I thought I had all my Thai accent covered up people still said I had an accent! I was really confused and embarrassed (so I tried really hard to change the accent) because my teachers are really impressed with my speaking and writing in English after only being in the United States for three years. Then it hit me that it doesn’t matter which accent I’m sounding like. I should be proud of what I’m from and just live with it. So that’s my little accent story. Again, you’ve done a very good job! Watching your videos (and your cuteness) always makes me laugh. I even introduced you to my friend and now she’s obsessed with you. Don’t know if that was a good idea. :)

I’m American, and that’s why I loved this video. Your accent was so bad that it was hilarious. I think you were kind of, not really, close to a New York accent, but it was still really funny. You guys probably think we’re hilarious too when we try to do British accents.

Dear god, I hope I don’t sound like that. But either way, it was hilarious. I’ve always thought American accents were rather bland compared to others but you just changed that. lol

I’m American, and I think you sounded sort of… midwestern? Or sort of like that weird guy from 80′s movies bout high school (cuz there always is one). Also, don’t feel bad about the southern accent, most Americans can’t get it right either. All in all, quite hilarious :)

There’s one where I can’t tell if he’s trying to say “walking” or “working”
hiliarious though

I really liked it! I’m from Canada so the accents here are slightly different than American ones, but I got the general gist. In my opinion you did a lot of over-exaggerating (maybe that’s how you thought Americans talked, I don’t know) but it made it really funny, and while I was watching the video I was like “Yeah, I guess Americans do sort of sound like that!” Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I showed it to a couple friends :)

And by the way, my friends and I always burst into British accents for fun. They’re mostly failed attempts, but a lot of fun to do!

I liked the accent video a lot, and not just because I’m an American. It makes me think of when Americans try to do an English accent. When Americans attempt the English accent, it seems we fail to realize that there are a lot of dialectal differences, so it sounds wrong (and hilarious) to you when we sometimes do English accent, just as it does when you attempted the American accent. When you think about it, there are so many different regions of the US and England, that one accent just does not fit all. When you said water, it was truly hilarious because you can tell where a person is from in the US based on how they say water. Some of your accent sounded like it was from the south, others from the west coast, others from the north or east coast. Overall, it was funny, though. I like the way you speak as is.

This video was really entertaining! Im from America but people think im from England because I cant pronounce mr “r’s”. Not sure how that makes me sound British (I sound totally American in my head) but there you go. It was funny to see you do an American accent which was actually pretty good. More mid-western but hey its still American!

I think Americans think it’s so funny/entertaining because I believe Americans try to do the English accent all the time. At least the people I come in contact with try it. Watching your video showed me that we’re all probably just a bunch of fools pretending to sound cool doing it all wrong. Your video in my opinion sounded like a mixture of different dialects which was amusing, especially your southern accent. I’ve lived in the south all my life and there are some people who talk like that but it’s very few in my state. So, it’s funny hearing someone try to sound like an American use that dialect. But any way it made me wonder what dialect every one in America uses.

hahaha i just wrote something and before i posted it i looked at what others have posted and i totally agree with it and i dont want to sound boring so i’ll just say “yeah, what they said.” only that’s boring. BUT another thing i liked which i havent seen mentioned was the absolute randomness of the phrases chosen. also how charlie said “aluminum.” say it again, it sounded so cool!!!

I really think that americans speak that way, I’m latin-american (from Chile) and I’ve been studying english for almost 4 years, my accent is really weird it’s a mixture of british and american accent xD and watching this video make me realized that british people have a “sofisticated” way of speaking, on the other hand americans are more expressive when they speak….OOhhh… XD

I never realized how difficult it is for Americans to speak with British accents and vise versa (I guess growing up with Americans but being raised in England made me pick up both). X3 So funny…I almost died laughing. I love accents. How would a German accent sound?

Well, I’m from America and that is exactly what I thought. I must have replayed that video five times to everyone I know, saying over and over, “Is that what he thinks we ACTUALLY sound like?!?”

It really made me reevaluate my awesome British accent that would probably turn out to be a mix of all the different parts of Britain, and you and Alex would be laughing yourselves sick over what a terrible job I did…but to be fair, you actually did a really good job on some stuff. :)

p.s. The first time I saw this, it was prior to me seeing Toy Story 3 and when you said that “There’s a snake in my boots.” was supposedly a quintessential American saying, I pretty much laughed so hard I almost died. I don’t think that’s ever been a widely used saying, even when there were snakes in people’s boots on a daily basis. You’re too busy trying to get it out than to exclaim that, ya know?

Okay, sorry for the longest comment EVER- I’m sure you’re not even reading this. Love your videos, Charlie! :D

It was the first of your videos that I saw, loved it! And i’m following you since then! =)

It was funny & weird to watch at the same time because in a weird way….that is what americans sound like to english people.
Loved the video btw saw it on stickaid :)

it made me laugh ( im from florida USA)but it was bec u did it so perfectly!, i love your vids charlie, would be cool if you can see mine:) : musicismylife1445
plz and thanks:)

I started watching you after I saw this video :)
It was my firs Charlie video :D

My roommate and I (from the GREATEST state of Texas) found the way you say “aluminum” hilarous. I just loved this video. I’ve been watching you since “Bieber Fever” and this one is most def in my top 5.
And let’s just say your country accent is ‘special’.

I think this is the most funny video.

I am from Turkey and I like the English accent and I think this is the most funny video!!!
I don’t like American accent but this is funny then the accent I know.

I thought it was shockingly accurate. It was weird to me because, as half-Scottish American, my English accent fails. Really, really fails. And I never really thought about English people trying to do American accents because English accents are just So. Much. Cooler. So why try to make your voice sound as boring as our American voices do? But apparently you do try and sound American. And it was funny. And awesome. And interesting. Yay!

I’m from America, and I have to say that this is hilarious! Me and my friends love your videos and think British accents sound awesome! We try to imitate them, but don’t do so great. lol :) You did a Charliefied American accent, and I think you did a good job. Go Charlie! I think it would be funny if you ask us Americans to post our best British accents as a response to one of your videos.

And no. Not many of us get snakes in our boots. ;D

I loved it. Have a wonderful day Charlie and keep on being awesome! :)

I’m from across the pond, haha, and I was actually at Stickaid when you made this video and my sister and I laughed our butts off watching you :D :D Thank you for being the person you are, you’re awesome :) :)

well charlie I think you may need to work on that alittle bit more but for a first try that was the best american accent I have ever heard from someone who lives in england p.s. I love ur red hair

This American thought it was a pretty good accent. I think you’d blend in alright here. Not that you should use that accent next time you visit (there will be a next time, yes?) we American lasses tend to fall very hard for the lads with British accents. It would be in your favor to just speak normally.

Too bad a regular lunch conversation among American teenage girls is “I wonder if British people try to imitate our accents the way we imitate theirs…”

The odd thing about the video is that you seem to be a totally different person when you’re doing the American accent…like a second, slighty dumber version of your usual self ;)
I really loved it,makes me laugh everytime I watch it. Thanks for that :)

so… you do think we (Americans) sound like that? Ouch, that really hurts.
hahaha, I mean, no offense, but your American accent… was sort of crap. But, hello, there’s a reason why Americans are obsessed with English accents in the first place – and yours is (as you’re surely aware by now) freaking adorable.

Your accent is soooo cute and adorable :D and congratulation on the Stickaid :) you were a very good boy xP <3 <3

SO glad you decided to update this. I was like “WHERE ARE THE BLOGS?! IT’S MY FAVORITE PART OF THE VIDEO,” and I don’t mean that offensively, it’s just..well, you edit for entertainment, so it’s not raw you, it’s the best parts of you that you think are funny, and your writing seems more free form, so it’s more you :)

Yes, I was a little disappointed that you think Americans just sound geeky, southern or ghetto and talk painfully slow.

honestly i like that you struggle with an american accent, it just make me (a boring ol’ american) feel a little more special because i have mastered somthing in my 14 years that the smarty pants british have not been able to do in 5 minutes!

Dear, you are positively adorable! I don’t imagine for a minute you would pass for an American among Americans, but you are plenty fun :0)

So this was actually the first video of yours I’d ever seen. I was looking for something on accents for my Advanced Comp class, and I stumbled onto this video. I LOVED it right off! You made me laugh a ton, and enlightened me concerning some language differences. I never realized, for one, that you pronounce aluminum that way…I couldn’t resist trying it, but it definitely doesn’t roll of my tongue very naturally. =]

Anyway, I’m from Cincinnati, OH and I’ve started watching your videos ever since this one. I’ve shared with my sister and several friends. Hope you keep it up, I enjoy your music videos especially and the Challenge Charlie stuff. I’d love to see you try more accents, by the way! Thanks for the entertainment!

You have a really great American accent actually. x3

I watched StickAid from midnight ’till 2 am, because I was like ‘Oh sh- I forgot about StickAid!’ and I went and stayed up anyway. Loved it anyway…

My younger sister sent this video to me, and I’m not sure any video I’ve ever made me laugh as much as this one did. It made me feel kind of cuckoo actually, me sitting here in my apartment by myself laughing hysterically. It’s always neat to see how you folk across the pond think we sound over here, like some sort of weird cultural experiment. I’m pretty sure we would catch on to you, but it was funny watching you try! Thanks for posting!

I am from Argentina, and since I can remember I’m trying to speak english with the british accent, and people tend to make fun of it…so this video made me laugh like crazy!
You have a really good american accent, though!

I’m from Chicago, US, and I liked this video so much i had to favorite it. Besides from being so hilariously bad, I thought your accent was fascinating because it was sort of a combination of accents from all over the US. :D I’ve heard that Americans do the same thing; when we use a British accent we don’t actually talk like anywhere in England (the average person). :D You also sometimes sounded like you were speaking in an accent from a different time period. I just thought that was cool…….but mostly I was just laughing at how much it made me cringe ;D

HEHEHEHE so I am American and I watched this with one of my good friends, who is also American (in case you were wondering) and we decided that your accent was surprisingly really good for some of them, but some were…well….hahaha :) but they were never the less super duper amusing! This might be one of my favorite videos of yours…I can’t actually list all my favorites because there are just too many…but oh well. oh and above all: THANK YOU FOR DECREASING WORLD SUCK BY A FEW POINTS! ;) i know you won’t forget, but i’ll remind you anyways: D.F.T.B.A, my friend!

Hey Charlie:) You sounded, at intervals, southern, nerdy, and actually pretty good. ^^ And by the way, skwerl is most definitely a word. :)

(Though I love your British accent. ^^ Squi-rrel.)

Hehe “How are YOU doin??” xD That was the best part. But sometimes he sounds like an average American. Sometimes he sounds like he’s from the South. And sometimes, he sounds like he’s from New York! (: I’m from Washington, DC!

i really liked it,so funny

Some of the accents were right on and others… were just horrible. xD But it was quite amusing.

I think you’d have the same reaction if you heard us Americans trying to do our British accents.

haha

It really wasn’t bad :) It kinda sounded like a nerdy country boy… if that’s possible. Actually it sounded a lot better when you didn’t try too hard. Really the only differences between the two accents are height of the soft pallet and the placement of the tounge. (We had to learn to do the play ‘The Bald Soprano’ in theatre last year.)

ahahaha omg i love how some sounded like a 12 year old boy from new york city and others were umm kind of southern??? they were a messed up mix of american accents from all over the USA.
it was so funny though :)
a few were actually not too bad either. only a few. haha
and yes they were best when you didnt try to hard. and we dont say schedule like that hahaha

U sound crazy!!!!!! Ik how some ppl say u sound southern or somethin but 2 me u sound……idk what u sound like!! but im not hating im one u biggest fans<3

you sounded reaaaally southern. like some kind of weird voiceover

oh no you dont girlfrand sounded like shenaynay on shane dawson

jealous! American accents are just so dull and drawn out… im forever envious of my neighbors English accents, even if there retelling a story that was uninteresting the first time I can’t help but to be intrigued by there alluring voices. no wonder we americans sit around doing nothing but trying our best to imitate Simon Cowell. fail..

I love your videos Charlie and I find your blog entertaining :]

I’m from Taiwan, and this the first time to watch it. it’s amazing about your acerican accent.

it really makes me laugh loud.

however, good show. I expect the next.

so cute!!! I love this video. your talk is too fast can’t understand your talk correctly,(do not misunderstand!! I cannot listen to english very well) but this subject and this video so funny!
during the watching this video, when you laugh, i laughed, too.
I hope expect a pleasant video like this!
Have a good day!

u were hilarious!! cheers for you, im studying english n we get to decide which one we want to speak,i prefer the american one,it’s easier but ur british accent is lovely.
btw im from argentina :)
xoxo

Like we say in our country (Argentina):
Estas buenisimo!!
♥

Charlie, Americans love you. We want to worship you as our God.

you sounded like i country boy :p (not that i’ve seen a country boy before )
i really never knew that speaking with the American accent was that difficult, not that the British is difficult i can use both just fine, but i do use the American accent when i speak in English. my dad said that the British slang accent is very difficult and that if i went to England i wouldn’t understand a word and that all the British T.V shows and movies use ,if im not mistaken, the ‘ British queen’ accent? it sounds wrong -__-’
but yeah, i really would like to hear you speak in Arabic, now that would be FANTASTIC!! XD
its even more difficult than speaking German (or so i heard) so yeah, if you wanna learn a few words feel free to ask ;)

Me and my mates LOVE your video blog! We know all the words to all you’re songs and on my birthday we’re going to London to do some ”Charlie Spotting”! lol

I used to think being english was a bit rubbish, but, now we have you and Alex to be proud of!

Your accent was more of a country one than a normal american one… i should know… i’m from LA

yea pretty much

Your accent was a nerdy, country, new jersey accent. your oh my god was good

already you are so famous with this video In Korea…that’s funny…I think you r already kinda superstar in u-tube around the world…I hope you would make some video about Asian…cuz we love you and all videos you made….plz Keep making fun videos!!! xoxo love ya~

im from “across the pond” *cough*funnybritphrase*cough* and i absolutely loved the video. i remember once i was laughing so hard that i wasnt breathing and my mouth was open and drool was falling out of my mouth (pretty picture aint it?) and i admit, that happened again when i watched tis video.
thats because how accurate it was of weird people over here (and to all the people who say its a county accent, its not i would know)

Oh Charlie…you adorable adorable Brit. I lurved this harcore-like. You probably do a better american accent than I would do an English one. (and yes I am from the good ol’ U.S. of A.) Keep making videos for me to watch in place of an actual social life ^.^

I think we Americans really loved hearing you speak in an American accent because we’re always told how terrible our British accents are, and I know I personally have never never never heard a British person attempt to try an American accent, so it was nice to hear how other people think we speak.
Also Americans love British accents, which has to have something to do with it. I mean I don’t know if you just randomly launch into accents, but I know a few people who will just all of a sudden speak with British accents with certain phrases… or just because they feel like it. And this really only happens with Americans doing British accents, I’ve found. A few French accents here and there, but exponentially more British ones.

I can keep watching this over and over ;p

I love this video so much, but it was a pretty awful American accent. No offense. Hilarious to watch, your perceptions of Americans are way off. Probably as ours are of you. Please make another video like this! But I’d stick to your accent, British accents are way more attractive than American accents anyway.

So this is the second video I have watched of yours. And you are quite hilarious haha :]
I am from California and allot of us girls say the word “Like” so add in a couple of “Likes” here and there next time and you will fit in perfectly in Cali. haha

Example: Like Oh My Gosh She Is Like Wearing Like The Same Shirt As Me.

I mean once you hear someone who talks like that all the time, you will get addicted to saying “like” all the time, or go mad and go on a shooting spree. hahaha just kidding! :p

But keep up the great work. Also you do not seem very shy. When I was younger I was so shy, but my mom (or mum haha) also decided to send me off to do plays and acting and modeling so that i can “come out of my shell” and it actually worked. I became quite outgoing :] But I did not gain so much of a passion for acting as I did for fine art. :]

a challenge?
you can…

*re-make a scene of your favourite movie
* make a hole video trying to speak other languages (no english)
*paint you bedroom pink… no no no, bright green is better
*talk without “S” (or another letter) all algon a video (or a minute)
* “eilrahc” talk backards (as Martin of Coldplay did in The Scientist) (but dubbed it, of course)
*Look for “Dulce de Leche” in some market (it’s like the Argentinian pride when you are talking about mermelades) and try to eat a pot without saying anything… if you wonder it’s made of milk and sugar and other southamerican ingredients…

i think your next challenge shoul be a canadian accent, its way different compared to an American accent, and all the european accents: Polish, Swiss, Ireland, France, and lastly scottish
one thing i have to say that teenage video was not true! that was RUBBISH! haha you made my day when you said ” i dont understand what to put for the girls, talking about Fashion” laugh my ass of! bravo though, bravo.

It’s not country at all. I should know. I’m from Alabama :)

Hahah, oh man we do not sound like that! I have worked very hard to keep from having a southern accent just to have you say that all american accents are weird. Fantastic. Hahah you sounded more like a New Jersey resident then anything else.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are so funny! i’m from switzerland and have friends in the states but my english teacher is from england so my english is kind of a mix between both. you did a great job. still laughing!! :)

I loved this video! :)

we do not sound like that, you either sounded like a new jersey resident or a had southern accent , but it was funny to see you try to sound like an american. personally, i think it is easier to do an english accent than an american accent coz you sound all proper but it was funny…8)

I think the main reason why people from America loved it so much is because we do the same thing. We all try to speak in “posh” British accents and to me, at least, it’s refreshing to see people from England trying to do the same. It’s also especially funny because we can imagine the context of you saying things like “get out of the wayyy” and “due that did not just happen” I honestly loved this video, I thought it was perfect.

You had a southern accent for most of the time, it was so funny, i especially like squirel (which sounded fine) and garage (it was close) i laugh everytime i see this video

I can’t stop walking around going “DUUUUDE THESE WAVES ARE GNARLEEYYY!” (in an American Accent, because I would like to point that out as I think that I am, like, the only British person that watches you!) ;D. x.

Nerdfighter Love from Lollyyyyy!

HEY. This is the first video I saw of you, and you don’t understand, it made me Laugh out loud. (No, I don’t say LOL, I’m not going to sink that low). I just thought I’d let you know that when you say ‘quintessentially american things’ you sound a liiittle american… Yeah. And my favourite little attempt at an accent thing was Podado. Aha. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

good job…….try new accents…..its hard to put smile on ppl’s faces but u did…so proud of u charlie…..hope to see more videos of u …..

amazing….

dude, i love you and ur accent i thought it was funny, and amazing(: i watch this video every time i am sad. it makes me smile:D i love all of ur videos i even showed this to my friends and they laughed but thoug it was cute. xD well i love youu goood bye :DD hope u have a awsome life.

i am british and live in Canada, (therefore their english is about the exact same as americans) and I ‘ve noticed that no matter how long i’ve lived here and listened to them, my ‘american accent’ still seems to be absolute rubbish. So just think at how amazing your american accent is compared to a fellow brit who actually lives amongst them… that is quite frankly just sad. LOVE YOU CHARLIE !!!

I am American. I live in America. I enjoyed this video very much even though Americans sound nothing like that except maybe in movies. I found it amusing mostly because I know so many people that love British accents (myself included, when I was in England over the summer I got really excited whenever someone spoke to me) but sound horrid when they try to mimic them.

I also was very excited when you mentioned my username on youtube in your video (imlayinganegg).

i am American and ive never actually said most of those things. it was definitely amusing

I’m Korean living in America. And now that I’ve watched almost all of ur vids, I can speak with both British and American accents almost perfectly. Yay!

omg, i was laughing so hard at this.

Hi, there… My name’s Alberto… I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina… you cannot imagine how much I laughed and I enjoyed your videos… this one was the first one I watched and I couldnt stop watching them… as I teach English here, I recommended it to my students… keep on being so COOL!!!

Hearing you try to do a southern accent for “Ya’ll come back now, ya hear?” was hilarious. I live in Houston, Texas and hardly any of us talk like that…

You were shocked your “My American Accent” video went “viral”? One thing to know about Americans is that they love to see people British people imitate our accent, or for that matter listen to anyone who speaks in a different accent than our own. Or speak another language… I guess we’re easily amused… At least the teenage population for sure.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious because it’s so fascinating how people from other cultures imitate each other, particularly by way of accents because it’s not something you really think about. I’ve recently realized that most “Americans” (really should be called USAians or something because American is so vague.. there are so many countries in America!) call people who speak with an English accent actually call it “British” which would be incorrect because Great Britain consists of many countries (same as America), all of which have different accents.

Now, I have to wonder, I know a lot of “Americans” think that “British” accents make people sound instantly more interesting, intelligent and witty. I know a stereotypical southern USA accent tends to make one seem either unintelligent or cowboy/girl-esque. I thus have to wonder what a northern USA accent comes off as to others? I actually plan on moving to England for school after the next school year and so I’m becoming a little more aware of these things.

The video was awesome, Charlie. No, not all of us sound like that, just the ones that live in or near Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and such, of the US. I think once or twice I heard you try a New York accent, that was great! Truth is, just like in Great Britain, over here there are a few different countries with a few different cities and/or states that contain, within them, their own accents. However, If I tried to do an English accent I would fail, miserably; for that, congratulations, you’ve won the Foreign Accent Mastery award! :)

my big brother is in wales for two years so.. pleeease can you do a welsh accent?
U R the best :D
xoxo TheChirpify… (from austria)

I LOVED your video Charlie!! I’ve always been fascinated by British accents and have chuckled time after time when one of my friends has tried to duplicate it. (And they failed miserably :P) So since we silly Americans always try to copy your accents, I’ve constantly wondered if people with British accents tried to imitate ours. Come to find out…THEY DO! And I loved it! The Southern drawl that was present in most of the phrases was adorable. You should talk like that more often. (I’m just kidding. I love your real accent, voice, whatever you want to call it :D)

Keep being so cool like! :)

P.S. I love your smile!!

haha this is make me fun :D
i love british accent ever <3333

aww. your the cutest thingg everrr!! hahahaha.

My best friend and I started a video blog just because of this video, quite honestly.

I thought it was great that you were such a good sport about it and were willing to give it a go!

Greetings from the Midwest!

I’m American and i thought your imitation was ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! I’ve been showing it to everyone and anyone. Thanks for putting up this vid! Now us Americans know how awesome of a person you are. OH and btw i live in California and we talk nothing like that.. whatever it was still cute :)

AMERICAN! And I thought it was amazingly funny and lovely and cute! :3 Maybe you were hearing New Yorkers? Or something like that? >.< I would love to see more of the, ehm, Americanized Charlie. Congratulations to how many views the video got, and I felt I should mention that I have this video down in my favorites on my computer for when I need a laugh.
<3 Your over the pond friend,
Linnea

oh i’m indian,but great one…i am quite used to american accent,as my friend tries it always(pissing off),u were good!(srsly >.>)

it’s really funny, as an american, because those are all the american accents we make fun of too… i mean you did do the racial slur (african american/ghetto accent), you covered white trash accent, and of course, the southern drawl, and the boston accent. those are all the american accents that people from the states make fun of too, because they’re such strong accents. =]

it’s technically not what the majority of people from the states sound like though. we DO say tomato that way haha =]

Charlie u are so Awesome!!!!! I have a challenge for u!!!!!!!!!!!! Cover yourself entirely in stickers!!!!

And u were so funny and ur way better than Fred!!

Hello from Texas,
I found this video hilarious. I know many people have commented on the fact that people don’t talk like that….But I wonder if people have ever been to the South U.S. I have lived here my entire life and still can’t understand some people because of their southern drawl. I have traveled the U.S. and I have heard most of those accents so I say BRAVO!!! I am a recent fan and I have actually brought along the young ladies I teach at church , and we all think you are the funniest blogger.

Lovely Greetings from Austria. :)

Greetings from Texas!(: we love you Charlie! u are the funniest british guy i have ever seen! haha i hope you keep making videos! and i have a challenge for you, sing kareoke for us for 1 whole hour straight!

Hey Charlie,
I’m from the States (Miami Florida) and let me tell you…you did a really good job on that accent! Very impressed! But it seems as if America gets a bad rep as the dumb surfer from Cali, or the redneck, country bumkin’ from Texas. lol But hey it’s all in good fun, and the video was a great laugh, so thanks for the smiles today. ;)
And I was wondering…have you even been to the States? If so, where?

Charlie, I’m from Argentina and I’ve been studying English for 13 years now, I started when I was 2, and because of this video I realized that I sound like a retarded person when I talk in English. OK, here’s the thing. In my school they teach us English, a bit of British and a bit of American. I used to speak with an American accent but I noticed lately that because you (and Alex, but mostly you) I started to mix it with some British English, so now I sound like an idiot. Fortunately, the weird accent is starting to change COMPLETELY to British, so thanks. Because of you I passed my Oral Cambridge exam;)

Hello I’m from New York :]
I had to watch this video twice to realize how you you tried to do our accent. Sometimes I try to do a British accent, but I get confused with the Australian accent (sorry). I realized you did so many American accents, since you know that the United States has a lot of… states and people tend to have a different accent depending on where they’re from. As for me I tend to sound like your first few impressions. Except that because I have Hispanic parents, I can’t help but to sound funny and not like most New Yorkers.
I really loved your video and I learned how to say squirrel in a British accent, thanks!

Hi there :)
Omg, this video was so funny!
I’m from Portugal (i hope you know where it is -.-) and sometimes I try do to accents from other countries too. You looked just like me trying! xD so i came up with the conclusion that we look stupid doing it, but I don’t mind :p lol
I usually go to youtube to see your videos and i love them :) keep up with the good work!
Kiss, Inês Granja (try to say my name if you want to laugh even more xD)

I challenge you and alex to dress up as ron and harry from harry potter and go to king’s cross. When at Kings Cross try to get through the middle of platform nine and ten. When you can’t take out a stick or something close to that and yell gibberish at it. Then try again for a while.

Hey, Charlie! I’m Florencia, from Argentina and this is by far my favourite video !
I first heard from you yesterday and now I just can’t stop watching your videos !
thnx for making me laugh

Hey Charlie! I remember showing this to my friends, and it’s still by far their favorite video.
Mainly because we’re American and its nice to see people try to sound like us. :)
Although I pay attention to other “youtubers,” I’m pretty sure you’re my favorite.
Plus the fact that you play Zelda and you’re cute helps too. 8)

Hi Charlie! I will not even write that you write back because it says shall probably every second and that would be impossible. but damn the whole thing is so funny that it is bad. : D please do so on forever! :))

umm…I live in Canada…how much is ten thousand pounds? and that sound more like a cowboy accent lmao :)))

I love the little purple bear figure in the last minute or two in this video:)

Hahaha! As crazy as you sound, I bet I would sound just as crazy trying to use an English accent.

Horrible…but nice try.

why can all americans do amazing english accents…..but y’all cant manage ours…lame…
hahaha. yours is good.

HAHA SO FUNNY
Your American accent sounds like the one my friends and I try to do to sound like hillbillies!

Greetings from sunny Miami!

Noble attempt, but yeah your accent drifted all over the continent (Canadians say “shed-yuhl”, not Americans). Good work on sounding like a characteristic American and not trying to speak like a reporter on CNN.

I recall you doing a fake Australian accent, when you said “beards drawn on with pens!”

heyyy, from New York!!

i absolutly loved this video!!!!! I thought it was hilarious, and i think I’ve watched it approximatly 10 times, but anyway, some of the things you said were more funny than others, some of them didn’t make sense,but oddly, I think that I found those the most funny! Some of the things you said sounded like they were from deep in the south,and some of them didn’t sound even a tiny bit american, but it was still good.

i am from America and I’d just like to say that your American accent is very well done. i love you and your videos and i think you are AMAZING!! I think that for another challenge you should try to draw Alex Day without looking at the paper (just looking at Alex’s face) Then see what you come up with :)

helllo from ontario!!! im sorry to say that the accent wasnt very accurate but everyone has to have their faults right? cant wait for a vlog featuring your new haircut!! -me :)

So I’m American and yeah, I don’t have that “country-American” accent. Maybe it’s because I’m in the east. But whatever, I loved it! You are hillarious and absolutely make my day. I took a sick day from school today and all I’ve been doing is watching your and nerimon’s vlogs.

My friend posted this on my facebook and it was the first ever charlieissocoollike video I ever saw. And now I can’t stop watching your videos.

Hi from Germany :)
Yeay, this is the first of your videos I have watched. And since I watched it I couldn’t stop watching your videos :D
Have you ever been in Germany?
Well, I think you’re always welcome :P

Ha the way you said coffee was close to the way us new yorkers talk. Cawfee = coffee tawk = talk :) Oh and the fact that you said “theres a snake in my boot!” made my day

I live in Kentucky so therefore I do have the quintessential southern accent that a lot of people are talking about, but I loved the video and I laugh at it every time I watch it. I think that part of the amusement was in the things that you said, like there’s a snake in my boot…. Never heard that one LOL. But think that there is such an amazement when”people across the pond” try to mock our accents because we admire yalls so much. Great job!

the amusement (for me and my sister at least) was in the fact that it was a really good imitation. not of the majority or americans but more a combination. you jumped all over the country with the different accents, mostly sounding cartoon-y but essentially hilarious the entire time, especially with the ‘laugh track’ in the background

You should try speaking in one particular dialect of American. You bounced around from a Southern accent, to a Minnesotan accent, to a Californian accent. I’m pretty sure that most American’s don’t have a high pitched nasal sound to their voices, but thumbs up for giving it a go. For a future video, you should try a legit version of the American gangster voice.

HAHAHA you sound like a confused tourist :) wanna try sticking to one accent?
mostly you sound like a Jersy boy… and thats not good. but i enjoyed listening to it, even though it was a failure

I’m from the Midwest. oh that was soooooo funny to watch! oh, and just commenting on a previous comment, there are some areas in the US where people have a nasally tone. like here, for example.
I think my favorite part was either coffee, squirrel, or garage. And the expressions were hilarious!! You did a great job, and I think your American accent is much better than my British accent would be :P

우왕ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 나도 아이폰4임ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Ohmygawd that did not just happen.
Awesome work Charlie! :D I seriously love your videos, they always manage to make me laugh. :D And your singing’s pretty amazing as well. Keep up the excellency, your excellency!

woww, im from the midwest of America and i must say you seem to think we all sound like “Southerners”! my mom’s from Texas so it makes it that much funnier to watch! thanks for that, and keep doing what your doing! :D

Oh. My. God. I can’t stop laughing :D I’m from Boston, and, I’m sorry to say, you have the second worst American accent I’ve ever heard (you’re better than David Tennant’s “it’s a fightin’ hand!”). You should have said ‘Park the car in Harvard Yard’ (‘pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd’) that would have been fun to see :D I think I might have to respond to this w/ my British accent.

You do a horrible American accent! i think that it is ok though, because didn’t you guys make the language?? By the way, what the heck is the pond…am i missing something…
oh, hahaha…every time that I read your blog i always think that you are spelling words wrong!!! Too many U’s!!!

your really cool! I just like saw this one today nd wowwww I. Could. Not. Stop. Laughing.!! So I loved this video sooo much..your accent was..uhh not so good (: cute though.. Loved It!!!

hahaha you sound hilarious! it was pretty good for a southern accent though…

the caption ‘there’s a snake in my boots’ is from the film Toy Story . and one of the main characters Woody says that line :-D sorry just thought id let you know :-P

Your “Bestest” American Accent, isn’t the Kings English! You sound like you picked up your accents from movies, television, and the media! You sound like Michael J, Fox from “Back To The Future!” who was an actor originally from Canada! I loved your Beverly Hillbilly’s Jed Clampett’s, “You all come back here! You hear!” that ended their show. Your accent of Forest Gump and his famous line from the film, “Life was like a box of chocolates! You never know what you are gonna get!” wasn’t that bad, you just needed to slow it down, to match Forrest Gump’s IQ, which was a slow southern drawl! :) Joey Tribbiani’s American New York / Italian accent line, “How you doing!”
from the TV show Friends was pretty good! You have to get Italian dumb downed for that line! I think your Ugly Betty TV break announcement was dead on! My friend Christopher from France who I met in Chicago would always correct my English, I told him nobody speaks totally perfect American English accept the highly educated or linguistic teachers, actors, or accent Choaches!
Every country has slang words that are part of the culture they live in or where they grew up. I loved watching the classic films, Pygmalion and My Fair Lady with Professor Higgins and Elisa Doolittle the characters taken from George Bernard Shaw’s famous play which was about a linguistics Professor who transforms a common flower girl into a lady by teaching her with phonetics! You should watch both films they are really great films made in England! “I think she’s got it!” :)

You’re awful, but entertaining attempts at an American accent aside; you’re so adorable lol.

Your* >.<

Heyyy from Portugal :)))

I studied in London the last 2 years and that is exacly the impression that i have from the american accent!! :DD
AMAZING!! Cant stop laughing! :D x

I’m from America but I travel a lot. I think you did a fantastic job with our accents! ‘Aluminum’ and ‘Garage’ had me laughing quite a bit.

You should challenge your exchange student to speak with an English accent while you speak in an American accent and post that… Would love it!

Well I’m from America and I speak Spanish so I’ll do my best to speak in english. I laughed a lot with the video, and I loved your pronunciation! It was a good video and it helps to learn more about english (?)
i´m just 15 years old so i don’t have much to tell :3
you are very good! bye!

My husband and I sat and watched you here in the good ol’ USA and we thought you were too funny and too cute! I loved your accent, but the garage sounded more Canadian then American! LOL! Great job just the same!

this is by far my fav video! never fails to make me laugh :)

HILARIOUS!!!
so hilarious that i actually choked on my last cookie and spitted crumbs all over the computer. oh no. mom’s gonna kill me.

and charlie is going to be the excuse ;)

Oh, Charlie, You are so cool =)
^-^
Actually, I’m from Russia, But I hope I’ll see u one time ( I goona go to London )

My sister and I cracked up laughing at this. (Residents of America)
It was very entertaining, as I love your British accent(Like most Americans; It sounds very formal and cute. ^^) and hearing the American accent…which sounded very backwoods-y to me(I would know. XD)…on you made us laugh like crazy. Aluminum and Garage were the silliest sounding, but I think my favorite was ‘Dude, those waves are gnarly’. XD

Also, a question….Do you British dears ever sit around practicing(Or making fun of) an American Accent?

I’ve already watched this video 10 times(alone and showing it to my friends,roommates and at the university) and every time I laughed till tears! It’s really awesome)))

I watched ur pilot!!!!!!! loved it man!!! just wana know what the show’s about?

Haha! That was hilarious. And hey, you know the woodchackwood-ish-thing! You just got a little cooler. Huhum.. :P

Hey Charlie! Here’s a little shout-out from Florida.
I LOVED your video. It was so adorable to watch you try to do an American accent. (The one you were doing was more of the southern accent (Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina) And contrary to popular belief, Floridians sound more like our California brethren rather than… well, FARMERS. xD

jahaha i very like when you say coffe jaja
it was very funny i can stop saying coafy and i mexican
i say like mama quiero coafy ( mom i want coffee)
jajajaja i like it so much the video :)

ahahahaha im from good old pennsylvania and thats hilarious. the jersey accent is really good :) the gangsta one, not so much. anywayss that was funny!!!

I thought it was great! Being from America, it’s always cool to see how other people try out our accent! You should do a video comparing American phrases to English phrases!

Where I live in America, people LOVE British accents and imitate them a lot. Just wondering, do people in Britain imitate American accents?

this was hilarious! it was so southern sounding, though…. hahaha like waaaaay far south :P

Yep!

Haha I sure we don’t sound that terrible! But you knailed it with some of those. You should compare French, English, and American accents and pharses…. Now that would be hilarious.

forgot the word hope after sure…. just so you don’t think americans are that stupid

im sorry to say i can speak in a fake English accent better than u can an american.

I am from the American “Midwest”, and your accents were perfect. “Y’all come back now!!” Hahaha

Hello dear Charles! I myself am from mid-western US of A and I honestly thought that your accent was probably better than some Americans themselves…. But if I had one guess as to where you were from just by hearing your voice I would’ve said the mid west because of the emphasize you put on the “r” sounds. Though because of the unfamiliar sounding words (I’m assuming this is why) the pitch of your voice did change which made it all the more hilarious and charlie-y.

Keep practin’, y’all hear! Haha

Hello from those united states.
Pretty good! Way better than my ‘british’ accent. You said things originating from many areas of the US and many social groups. So all together, it sounded contrived. But one sentence at a time (at least when you weren’t sounding like a valley girl or a black woman), it was pretty solid. I’m impressed but not surprised at how often a ‘New York City’ accent appears. I assure you that, while I imitate many of the same people you did (even if you weren’t sure that you were imitating a certain subgroup), my normal accent doesn’t sound much like any of those to my ears. I bet you, given your non-american upbringing, would say I sound a lot like some of those voices. Interesting!

oh gosh ! i like your voice when your talking all normal-like ! it sounds awesome (: , and i absolutely loved your american accent ; i love how most of them were pretty accurate !! i aplaud you for doing this ; because i know that i cant do a british accent very well . haha great job though !

Oh my gosh !! You really have a cool voice..!!:)

im from texas and everyone else in the US makes fun of our accents almost as much as we make fun of yours! haha i love your american accent tho its very…unique

You sound super adorable kid !
Especially when you did the c’mon baby .
You should say it to me (;

Hi
I actually really liked your american accent, with me being american n’ all.
But i do like your english accent better, its more you! :’D

Let me just say, I would take unbelieveable pleasure in teaching you how to do a real ‘bestest american accent’. Because to us americans, we don’t have an accent. Because most people lose their accents when they sing, to us they just sound ‘normal’. Also, in refrence (if i even spelled that right) to your video teaching your american friend michael something how to be english, i’d like to tach you how to be american. :] However, as of now, I must state: Mr. mccoollike, your american accent is indeed very poor. Mostly with the intonation. For southern, that was almost halfway decent sort of. A bit high pitched ;] But we still love you Charlie :D

Essentially, I personally think your accent is abnormally high pitched at times, and swtichs from a New-York/Canadian accent to a southern accent I dont really know how to describe well! But like you said in your post, it is definately quiet interesting to watch. Im from Boston so it was strange to hear you copying accents that sounded like New Yorkers and Southerners, I mean is that what American are sterotyped to be? Im not offended, its actually quiet funny and cute to watch you struggle make out basic American phrases.( That sounds so mean, please know I dont mean to be mean!) Haha, but I know I would struggle probably as well if I had to do any type of British accent! Thanks Charlie for the video!

Your interpretation of the ‘American’ accent was interesting to say the least.
Almost every state in America has different accents (usually it’s split up into the south, north, west, and east though). Southerners have all different types of accents; Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, etc. They’re crazy, let’s just say that. Then there’s the New York and Boston accents which I find amusing to listen to. And then there’s the west side of the country. I know Southern Californian’s have our accents. If you didn’t know, we favor the word ‘like’ way too much. haha
Other than all of that nonsense, your accent was funny to listen to. :)

I don’t know why but most of the time when Brits try talking in an American accent for the first time they always sound Southern, so it’s pretty funny to me :D But who cares if you suck at talking like an American? The American accent is not the only accent in the world, and maybe Americans suck at talking like English people too, I’m just saying. Haha but anyway, I enjoyed watching that video and it’s probably one of my favourite videos from you. xoxo

I’m sorry, I didn’t think you suck at talking like an American, you actually did pretty well. Hahaha.

Hey charlie its emobabz1 and RhiannonJustRocks
About 2 months ago i saw some boy with red hair and it looked like you so i pointet and said I FOUND CHARLIE and he turned round and it was not you it was a boy who said get lost your freaking me out and im not charlie my name is rob and i was really upaset cause it was not you… hmmm

This was the first Charlie video I ever saw. I was looking at videos of Brits doing American accents and so I found this one. Charlie introduced me to the rest of the vlogging world like elmify, Michaelaranda, and Meekakitty. My favorite video is probably the song about acne or monkeys.

lol we American’s don’t sound like that xD I think it might be easier for us Americans to do a British accent than it is for you guys to do an American accent.

(inlove)

i loved your american accent actually
i would love to meet you because i have some CIP project, (community involvement project) i would really like you to help me

I am extremely amused by your attempt at an American accent!
Being American myself, I have to confess that I did think to myself “Do I really sound like that?!” haha. Having traveled the world the last year, I was always amazed that as soon as I spoke anywhere, I stuck out like a sore thumb with my “accent” which I didn’t even realize I had. Also….. will you Marry me Charlie McDonnell?? there needs to be more adorable comedians like you in America… and your accent makes you even hotter :P

We do like to hear imitation accents here in America! I just think it’s slightly humorous that most imitations of the American accent sound Southern. I’m not sure whether people actually think we’re all Southern in America and therefore have that accent, or if that’s just how it sounds to try and imitate. Either way, I enjoyed hearing your American Accent :)

ok, that attempt at imitating american accent was AMAZIIIING !!
i was impressed cos usually people just suck but woww ! (yes, there are two WWs !)
the “how you doin’” is the best cos it reminded me of Friends soo much ! i just burst out laughin with my sister (who is completely in love with you btw!)
anyway, you’re awesome !

Hahah… Your accent was very convincing at times. I know for sure not many Americans can do a very convincing British (English? Sorry, I do not know the correct term) accent. However, my first thought when I heard your accent was “…I do NOT sound like that.” It was actually because of this video that I started watching your other videos and got into the YouTube video-blogging community, so thank you very much for that! Continue on making such hilarious videos!

You said squirrel how we would say it, and then you said it dosent even sound like a word, lol xD

Much Mass *–*

I’m just posting this comment to get you to say that I you are already a hit here in Brazil o / Although most people do not speak your language xD

Kisses, Vicky

haha, I love this video !

*laughs like crazy* Oh, God. I don’t even… Ahahahha. I’m from Bulgaria, not even a native English speaker, but man! This was like, the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously. xDD I know enough to realize how much of a failure that was. But in a good way. :3 Made me laugh so much, my throat hurts now. It was one of the most amazing videos ever, I enjoyed it immensely. <3
-Micuko.

Haha, i remember watching that video, i laughed so hard. Well i’m from the good old United State and i can honestly say i don’t sound like that. (At least i don’t think i do. O-o) But believe me even though we might laugh, you would laugh just as hard at one of us trying to pull of an English Accent.

Nooossa, gostei do fun science, porém te aconselho a fazer vídeos mais impactantes!!!
Ao invés de explicar A Lua (the moon) explique o sol (não sei como se escreve sol em inglês, e se você quiser descobrir o que está escrito nesse texto, google tradutor!)

Just so you know, when I watched your video of you trying out your American Accent, I definitely saw the influence of good old American television/movies in your attempts. I’m Canadian, and despite the fact that most Americans think they don’t sound like that… that is what indeed they do sound like sometimes. (Then again, most of them make fun of our ‘ehs’ so I’m enjoying the fact that most of them were denying it)

Haha i loved it! I’m actually from Brazil but I guess my accent sounds more like an american accent when I speak english… and it sounds exactly like it did when you spoke ‘american’ on this video. Your natural accent is much more beautiful though!

(the govannisantosconceicao, by the way, wrote a comment in portuguese below, but i don’t really get what he/she was trying to say, but it says for you to use google translator to understand – wich i don’t think will really worth)

I loved it, mostly because you had different tones for each word, i am American and it was pretty darn tootin’ good!
p.s I am an in a singing group and the director always tells us to sing in a British accent so ouir vowels will be long(:

*Sigh* I reeeeeaallly hope that your accent was just a fail and not an actual representation of how we sound…. I’ll admit any day that the British accent is much nicer than ours but still… we don’t sound like that!….. I hope.

Wow, you’re eyes are amazing……

This video was just…awesome to watch. It was a much needed laugh to see your attempt at American accents (: (And yeah…I’m one of those people thinking “…we sound like that?”)

Some of the phrases you said really sounded american! Good job ^_^

Being American, yes I laughed SO hard when it was posted :D (this response is way overdue) and I thought it most funny when your voice became nasally when you began to attempt an American accent. I suppose it’s because when you speak normally, your vowels are more drawn out than ours, so I guess that’s the hard time you had to try and keep your normal tone, haha. But brilliant vid, as usual :D <3

I’m American and I can say that nothing fascinates me more than watching an English fellow such as yourself do an American accent! Its so interesting! Good job, by the way.

I think that my favorite phrase that you’ve said was “There’s a snake in my boots” and your attempt at “Hollar at your boy” :) love your web show thing whatever it is ;)

I liked it because I wanted to see Brits imitating us as we imitate brits….

I should feel offended, being an American, but this was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! Love your videos

If I were you, I would stick with the dreamy English accent and leave the American accent alone. But being American, I have to say that was VERY Funny and entertaining!!! I’m glad one of my Korean friend’s shared that with me!! :-) Have a Wonderful Day!!!

Actually, I was glad you slightly failed, because I’ve always wondered how an American sounds to a Brit. The best part was that you did a several American accents — New York, Midwest, South, California. I can see why you found it difficult. American accents must sound “flat” to you, just like Aussie accents sound “flat” to us. I have a terrible time doing one. Thanks, it was very entertaining.

This video was just A M A Z I N G!! I’m italian but I lived for 6 months in California and I’ve to say that your american accent is great :) I watched this video again and again and I cannot stop laughing! Good job maaan!

wow were did u see that video i wanna see it

This video is so amazing *-* I laugh soooo hard every single time I watch this.
I’m from Brazil but I learn british english. I think my accent sounds a bit british, but I don’t know . Your actual accent is very very beautiful and so do you. I love your hair bright red, by the way.

Charliee! You are soo cute!

I laughed so much I fell off my chair!
I love you!!!!

hay:)
I’ve seen your video on youtube, and i thought, that it is quiet amazing.
for such a long time, i haven’t heard english or american english, and i want to say, that i love the way your speaking:)
it really amazed me and it was so funny

Hi!!
I’m from Spain, I’ve been in the USA this summer and I love listening both accents. You have a pretty good american accent, well, much better than mine hahah
I love what you do on youtube
Laura from Spain

Hi, I’m from the united states, but have lived in England now for the past two years and unfortunately will be moving out of England in november. And I must say your american accent is awesome! I’m also from TN and I know our southern accents sound funny to alot of people here. But I can’t tell you how much I love love love, your english accent as well. I play football with an English team here and it’s hard not to pick up on their accents while practicing or playing in a match with them! My point is you’re awesome, love your videos, love your blogs! I will be showing them to my american friends on facebook as well.

Your new fan the american,
Melissa Cherry

I am Brazilian and I have a little weakness for the English accent. I’d love to know your country but is not very easy to get there. Rs. Your videos really make me laugh. Congratulations. And your eyes are striking (y)

hello, Charlie! I have just watched your video in one russian social site(like facebook) and love it!
Carry on this way! Jod job!

Elina. Russia

hello! your american accent video has been spreading in south Korean web!! which finally came to me!! But the video was cut out so I didn’t know who you were! so i’ve searched for you all around in the youtube! wow it’s so gooood to know you, Charlie! you make my day!! thanks! fun fun fun! :-)

Dude that did not just happen. :o

Charlie, I’m American and your accent was perfect! We really do sound like that, don’t listen to anybody else! :) LOVE YOU!

I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

what i think is funny is that when british people do (or rather try to do :P) american accents it sounds really weird, but when you think about it, when americans try to do british accents (which, for some reason, we do alot :/) we probably sound like “a load of rubbish”, as you would say. AWESOME video, though, i truly enjoyed it XD

Oh my god!! you’re incredible! soooo funny! Thes best!

Loveddddd this video!
But as many people may have mentioned/commented before, I think it’s interesting that only a few accents were covered here. I’m not sure whether you realize this or not, (like I said, many people may have brought this up), there are many types of American accents that you didn’t cover!
I’m really impressed by the ones you attempted, though! I just wish you could have done more, like a MidWest, Great Lakes, or even Maine accent. Or, even more from California :PI loved this video! I’m an American myself, and it’s really cool and fascinating to hear what you feel an American accent sounds like. Or, your attempt at it. Haha.
I know that we Americans love the British accent and how “proper” it sounds, but I always wondered what the Brits and others in primarily English-speaking countries viewed our accent as.
Anyways, this video was well done. I think it was a nice challenge for you and a great way to relate to your viewers here in the states.
Love your videos and your channel!
Keep it up!

ermmm… Do you speak Russian?

 This was very funny and entertaining!!

Thx Joyce very entertaining! be funny to wee him do Canadian accents – Newfie, and the rest! Eh would be prominent!

your accent is awesome, Charlie!
To be honest, we DO sound like that, and i didnt even know that it could be so funny to actually hear the difference :)
Keep it up! 

First I watched this video (an extract from it, actually) on a russian social network too. Charlie, you’re becoming popular here, in Russia :) Thanx a lot for your videos. Like them so much:)

Cool video and cool idea. From russian blogger Artemiy Klin!

It’s cool! Charlie, you  are very funny :))

I am from Russia, and you are… from England I guess…
This was quite funny) especially your hair)

ur performance really did a good job with many facial expression. I think perhaps u can be a comedian lol tks ur Accent challenge clip :)))

thanks for the laugh! that was awesome. you sound half texan and half new york.

definitley one of my FAVOURITE charlieissocoollike videos! makes me lol everytime :’) xxx

That’s always fun to watch! You did good Charlie, you did good. I can’t believe this video has 4,000,000+ views! A lot of them are from me, I will admit…

As am American living in England right now I can safely say that you sounded like an English person trying to do an American accent, which you are. My classmates all took their turns making fun of me and they sounded pretty much like that. I liked your suggestions better though, apparently the way we say banana is weird and on one knows what a band-aid is…:D

I love how you said “Oh my god”
Because honestly, That is exactly how we say it In americaa. :) 

This is the first charlieissocoollike video that I ever saw and it’s probably my favorite. :)
Being from America, I don’t understand why you made us sound so… How do you describe it? Girly? Southern? … Especially towards the end. You did spot-on on a lot of them though.
All you really have to do to is pronounce your vowels very clearly. Like, “I’m waaawking here.”

I have noticed lately that it seems a lot easier for non-Americans to speak in “American” than it is for Americans to talk in Austrailian or “European”.

Haha, my favorite was SQUIRREL!

well, hi!
I’m from America, but actually I’m from Argentina.
I started watching your videos as a friend suggested them, and they all seem very funny!
I think that you did it great! when you said “how you’re doing?” in the american way, it came to my mind, Joey, from “Friends” xD.
I really enjoy watching your videos, and this one was extremely amusement!
Thanks for your videos!
 
PS: I think red is your colour!

Hi!
I’m from south america, and I don’t know if it really is like that! (refering to the part where you said  that from non-American is easier to speak in “American”) it will be nice to found out! :D

the edit shouldn’t include a british intro..it would be more comedic.youre a funni keed!!

Get Out uh the hway.

Mrs Tyson and 8z1 at Homewood school in Kent here, we are going to ask you to do us a special video blog about sound please.  They are writing their letters now and might even upload their moving  apeal

Your American accent may be better than mine… And I’ve lived here for over eleven years!
P.S. I think it’s pronounced more like “holla atcha boi” ;P

Lolzz Charlie that was good..you cracked meh up…But I love your reagular accent.:)

Hi! My name is Eugenia. I’m from Russia. I liked you .. you are very talented and funny! Thanks for the laugh!

Hello from Russia again :)
My name is Daniel and I want to thank you for this video
I’ve been stydying English for a long time and for maybe last two years I’ve been taught by american girl, so now I’m speaking English with american accent (*facepalm*)
So, thanks for the video again, now I can correct my pronunciation :)P.S Теперь мы просто обязаны сделать обзор, как якуты говорят по русски :DD

привет)да про якутов будет забавно посмотреть)) кстати,у меня учительница тоже из Америки и многие говорят ,что у меня американский акцент. По-моему это круче ,чем британский

Hi!!! im angelica and i have to say that i found your southern american accent very funny. i am not from the south. im from the northeast. and i think you have a great talent for that. Its funny to think that y   ou (general) have an accent when you (general again) are in a different place. Anyway i really enjoyed the video and i love the tardis behind you. I am a big fan of dr. who. 

I am from America and you had this whole fifties vibe going on…

Haha oh my goodness, this was hilarious. You can’t possibly imagine how funny it is for Americans to hear someone British trying to attempt an American accent- we’re always trying to do YOUR accent. I’ve always wondered what it would sound like to hear someone doing ours! The new york, southern, and valley girl accents were the best because they’re the most extreme haha. Please don’t judge the rest of us… most of us talk pretty normally haha

I live in New York, and I was obsessed with this. My favorite was when you tried to say “holler at your boy.” Oh my God, I am dying. I love you!

снимем ;D

I should let you know that I have seen this video about five times now, and I found/find it amazing! I still laugh every single time I watch it. So, I decided to try out some of your other vidoes. Yeah, well, I got hooked, and during the course of the last 2 days, I’ve seen every single one of your videos. Yeah… cause I have no life. xD Anyways, just thought I should let you know.
I’ve always been curious as to if you guys thought ‘American’ was an accent, cause as I’m sure you know, we think /you/ have the accent… =) In fact, I spend way too much of my time trying to imitate British accents, but… yeah.

I giggled because I thought it was really adorable. I don’t sound like that at all, but some Americans do. I don’t really have a stereotypical accent. I just sound.. like I sound, haha. It was very cute though, Charlie! <3

I’m a college student of English in Spain, and we were shown this video in class when we were studying the differences between American and Brittish English xD

i love this video it is my favourite ever! i love you charlie(: i want an I FOUND CHARLIE pin, if i got one id wear it everywhere. no joke COME TO DANVILLE CA WHEN YOU COME TO THE USA!

Try talking like how you do normally, but kind of emphasize the consonances.  especially “r”s and such :D

You’d probably hate me if you heard me trying your English accent. XD 

Heeey, you actually mixed some things up. Particularly, ‘schedule’ and ‘schedule’, that is, skedule and shedule. The first one is actually an Americanism, not the second one.

seems to me like all funny british guys are named charlie…..humbug….

Hilarious indeed!!!!

As an American, i didn’t find it funny at all. Why when you talk as an American your voice has to get higher and you sound gayer. And you make fun of how we say words like garage and squirrel. I was also disturbed at your southern accent that you did. You have no fricken idea how much “we” think your accent and words are but do you see us making videos about it. For example- Mary, i have to use the “john”. Hey, give me a faggot(cigar). I am actually really mad now. Just stop now. But this is just my opinion. Get back to me so i can hear your opinion.

there are better things to get butt hurt over.

Very interesting blog, congratulations.

HAHAHAHHA you’re veeeeeeeeeery very talented and creative! I love this video, I’m learning the “American English”, but I love the British accent! (I speak portuguese).

bye :)

I hope you read this comment because i look abnormally like you 0.o Like A LOT all my friends are like OHH you look like Charlie. So i checked out your video and holly shit i do :D Send me an Email at ltdraco@msn.com

i looooove you charlie :) im from south america and you make me laugh a lot; but is actually difficult to follow you when you talk because im spanish ,but i make the effort :)

I <3 YOU!!!!

I’m American and I absolutely loved the video. It’s kind of funny because that’s like a southern accent. Not all of the US. But anyway, I couldn’t stop laughing.

I don’t understand why people are getting mad about an ATTEMPT at speaking in an american accent.
He never grew up around that, so his vocal cords aren’t trained to speak like us. America has millions of different accents, many of which he’s probably not able to completely mimic.
Have you ever noticed that not all people from the U.K. sound the same? Different accents. Some sound like they’re from Scotland even though they live in Wales. Some sound like they’re Aussie even though they live in New Zealand.
Stop getting mad about something he can’t control. It’s a fucking ATTEMPT at speaking how he’s heard us speak. Try looking at it from their perspectives when we try to speak like them & we’re COMPLETELY off.
If you have a problem with it, then don’t fucking watch the video. You should have stopped when he first started if it pissed you off that much.
It’s not that serious.

charliee

I am american, and I saw your video. I loved it. I actually had to pause it so I could finish laughing. I am really hoping that you Brits don’t really think that’s how we sound, and if you are british and reading this, I will go ahead and tell you in case you don’t know, We DON”T sound like that at all. Again, I loved the attempt, Charlie, I really want you to do another American accent video.

Oh, and is that how you British actually say aluminum? Aloominium?

lol just a question are you a fan of benedict cumberbatch? or the show sherlock? i feel like you would be cuz its like the same guy who write doctor who!!

i think it was just entertaining to see you to attempt to sound american, and realize we actually have accents…

lol that was great!!! Loved it good job

I love how you think we all have southern accents(:

lol I am southern my voice does not sound like that. VERY funny though.

this is adorable <3 although i feel like your "american accent" is a little more southern than how i hear it but i cant really hear it….. only certain states….awks lawlz love youuuu

I just discovered your videos about a month ago and I loove them! My American Accent was one of the first ones I saw and I thought you did a really good impression for an English person, because when Americans try to do an English accent we fail :) Don’t listen to all the haters Charlie, you are awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing and DFTBA!!

you just made my day charlie that was hilarious and i think you did an ok job even though americans really sound like that

Hheheee xd that’s one heck of an accent xd you made my day Charlie xd you’re the best xd my british accent is quite good (i’m from oversea, belgium xd)

I didn’t think we had accents! Lol, and do we really sound that way to you? That mostly sounds like your talking from the south in the 1950′s.

you think us americans have accent’s to you? i honestly think we dont have one but i do! im spanish so i have some type of accent when i talk. although people do say its really strong but im not so sure about that oh and by the way i love your video’s .i  also think you got a great smile :)

LOVE IT! :D

you’re not great with the accent, lol. but who cares, i’d rather be english :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! Ohmigoodnessgracious, absolutely hilarious, you sounded like one of my friends believe or not when you coffee, but that was about it, haha. Ahhhhhhmazing =)

***said coffee

hahhaaa XD~

 if u hv interest try to challenge Chinese Cantonese.
not many ppl can say that well~

i’m english and i found this soooo funny. Everyones saying it sounds southern. i honestly cant tell the difference between southern nd any other american accent, but i guess u guys cant tell the difference between a jordie accent nd a londerners accent. im from east anglia and ppl always tell me i sound posh, but i go to a kinda posh school so i guess i get that from there… i really want to know what an english accent sounds like to americans. to me an american accent sounds really squeaky nd twangy nd kinda funny no offence.

English accents to me sound extremely proper and a little awkward lol. I love to listen to it though. And your right I’ve heard many different English accents and I can only distinguish a few

yep. in the uk its aluminIUM not aluminUM like it is in america

Мне очень нравится это видео!)))очень поднимает настроение))

I just saw a few of your videos! You are too funny!  Had a great time….will get my son (12 years old) to watch….and get inspired….

Keep up with those fantastic videos! You are super cool…for a Brit! From a loving Canadian!

Hello!!! You are great!!! Your videos are  so cool!!!!!!!
I dont Know English perfectly,I understand almost everything what you say about)))))))
Soon hope to see your new videos!)))))))))

You are sooooooooo cute! ><

He does a better American accent then Americans do British accents.  LOL HAHAHA.  
Ok Brits I love you.  However, this American  bashing is old and it shows what you lack.  Spice in your life.  Give us something new to make fun of.  DID YOU ALL FOR GET WHEN YOU BRITS START A BAND AND MAKE IT BIG.  YOU ALL SOUND AMERICAN!  
 
togetback@me.com

Just for the record.  Charles McDonnell.  You are a very talented lad.  However, aren’t you Irish?  McDonnell?  I don’t know, just thought i’d ask.  

P.S.  You look like an the illegitimate step child of one American Ronald McDonnell.  

Now thats —— funny!

I watch it over and over again and laught all the time… you’re very funny Charlie!
Hugs from Brazil

haha you’re so funny

im going to give a speech with this video in the school :)

funny!!!

I’m American and I just watched this video and I found it utterly hilarious. I couldn’t even handle it, I’m spreading it around facebook and so far you’re getting great reactions. I kind of want to do a reaction video on youtube with how we would actually say that stuff. You’re awesome, keep it up! :)

This was an AMAZING video. You’re American accent is perfect (and this is coming from an American… you should be flattered). 
And even I think it’s stupid how we say squirrel. I couldn’t stop laughing… I love your videos :)
