I've seen a lot of parodies taking the piss out of Americans. Never have I seen Americans return fire with such perfectly executed satire. Brilliant sketch. Hader is flawless.
Bill is a national treasure to us he has carried us through some good and bad times! Bill is like Elvis 50 million fans can’t be wrong 😂! I just wish he did SNL full time and made movies when he wasn’t doing that can’t get enough of his genius!
It's not a real British soap opera because there wasn't a rape, murder, or miscarriage/child death. Oh, wait, this wasn't supposed to be a Christmas episode. Never mind.
Our (British) soaps don't have seasons (what we call series's)... Our soaps just drag on, forever and ever and ever.... Never ending.... Ever. Edit: 🤦♀️ this facepalm is for my bad punctuation... I meant series)
Yeah, I used to watch neighbours after school. But we have a soap still running that started in 1960! I don't watch it though... It's about northerners... I've never been able to relate.
I've never liked any of Aidy's scenes, it may be just my opinion but in my eyes she is not even entertaining in most of the sketches she is in. I often wonder how the hell she got spot in SNL anyway
As an English(wo)man I can safely say this is 100% accurate, even if the accents are a tad weird (although Daniels yorkshire accent is bang on, sounds just like me)
I wish Hader and Craig would actually get together and make a TV series out of this skit. It’s very entertaining. I love the theme song in the beginning!
I absolutely loved watching EastEnders reruns growing up. It was so refreshing, because screenwriters here have no concept of how working-class people live.
I usuallly think that when american actors speak british english they överdo it but the SNL actors are really good. Daniel Craig is good in comedy. I have never seen this Scene before.
They are some of the worst English accents I've ever heard. The two American guys at the table seem to be attempting Cockney accents, but then they go and say, "Aye", like they're from Yorkshire. Then the guy who comes in speaks in a Cockney accent, but spoils it by saying, "The wee ones", like he's Scottish. As for the girl, she seems to be playing an Irish witch from the middle ages.
Clearly watching these parodies is a torture for any dialect experts. It's a comedy show not a Shakespeare play or something...relax... I'm South East Asian and I never even realize any of the "subtle" differences. If western countries make a comedy of Indonesian people talking with Malaysian dialect (a VERY distinctive differences), I'd tolerate it and still enjoy it. Cause I'm here for the comedy and satire... 😂😂😂
It's a strange kind of Edinburgh accent which is an of choice as they are often considered to be the " posh " Scottish accent and doesn't suit the three of the sketch.
That was actually a very impressive parody of a British soap set in the north of England. I'm not sure the audience appreciated it's brilliance but I imagine few of them would have even seen one of the shows it was based on.
There is not enough appreciation for this misdirect in the comments. You expect him to be the villain and insulting them - but he’s just lost and late. 😂
It is a real show. It's called Eastenders and it's been on British TV for 40+ years. They used to show it on PBS in America but I think you have to get it on BritBox now.
@@JSchroederee Oh yeah. They're a soap so everything crazy thing goes on in this fictional neighborhood in the Eastend called Albert Square. I haven't seen it in a while, but I would guess that nothing had changed.
They all sounded like they were from different places, Bobby's was a weird combination of posh Northern, Southern and American and I don't know wtf Aidy was doing... Also, we don't have cents!
Bill Hader nailed it! It's strange to hear an American speak like that.
Trust me he didn’t nail it that sounded nothing like the BBC voice over
Robyn Highart not a British accent at all
Aye!
He had that accent coach 🤣
Not quite, mate.
I've seen a lot of parodies taking the piss out of Americans.
Never have I seen Americans return fire with such perfectly executed satire. Brilliant sketch. Hader is flawless.
Tommy Slatts there are shit ton of sketches about English people
@@filmtheory694 he said "WITH such perfectly executed satire" focus on the whole sentance.
no one had messed up teeth this isn’t accurate
Bill is a national treasure to us he has carried us through some good and bad times! Bill is like Elvis 50 million fans can’t be wrong 😂! I just wish he did SNL full time and made movies when he wasn’t doing that can’t get enough of his genius!
Bill Hader's accent is brilliant.
I'm thinking it's based on Dudley Moore because it just reminds me of him so much
MrHPsauce01 accents are his specialty
the accent's alright it's just the voice selling it
Reminds me of Ron Weasley
@Nenethegreat W doubt it
Bill Haders accent is surprisingly good actually.
Did someone say it wasn't?
Bill Hader saying, "Oh no Danny" is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile🤣🤣
As an English person, I can confirm that this is an accurate depiction of all working class dramas. And all the soaps. And pretty much everything.
The queen should be dethroned and forced to sell fish and chips from a truck in surry
me too, i dont get the point of watching people stupider and uglier than me living life, my life isnt that boring LOL
Their comedies are at least more light-hearted than this (not counting the UK version of Shameless).
Steve Matson forced labour? You sound nice
@@canaisyoung3601 UK version? You mean the original.
It's not a real British soap opera because there wasn't a rape, murder, or miscarriage/child death.
Oh, wait, this wasn't supposed to be a Christmas episode. Never mind.
I mean, one of them is implied to be a pedophile at the end
this looks like a British version of Louis CK's show - Someone and Pete?
The unborn child turned out to be a fart, that’s kind of like a miscarriage 🤷
"A fish pie with jam" - classic pub food.
YeouHyomie nah the slice of tomato with crushed cigarettes a classic
i love me some o that fish pie with jam and tomato with crushed cigarette butts
And the fish butts jammed with cigarette & tomato pie.
pretty good impression but it was a bit too upbeat. Could have been just a little bit more miserable
Lucas Don Velour 😂 made my day even though it was two years earlier and probably before brexit. Anyway good luck to you.
Lol! I love Bill in this the most. I'm a Brit and he did a good job of the accent
Bill Hader sounds more English than Daniel Craig lol😂
daniel craig sounds like a proper scouser tho?
I’m guessing you’re not British if you say that
Aye!
Craig's doin' a Manchester accent, and I hear he was born in Cheshire.
iKR? He looks the part too..hahaha
finally, a reminder that Daniel Craig is a great stage actor and is not defined by the James Bond role
Jonathan C I first knew him as Lord Asriel of the film adaptation of _The Golden Compass._
I second that. Always admire his acting
Is he british i always thought he was
@@mnkyofficial543 You catch on quick :)
I know Hader steals the accent but then Fred comes in with “ poofter convention !” And I’m sold lol
bill hader is perfect
Our (British) soaps don't have seasons (what we call series's)... Our soaps just drag on, forever and ever and ever.... Never ending.... Ever.
Edit: 🤦♀️ this facepalm is for my bad punctuation... I meant series)
Well, I bet it's still shorter than our Aussie ones, started in early 80s and still carting on.
Yeah, I used to watch neighbours after school.
But we have a soap still running that started in 1960! I don't watch it though... It's about northerners... I've never been able to relate.
You got to give to the people whos writes for these extremely long soaps. The characters has been in so many freaky events it just not natural.
+shao19851 two words: Doctor Who
Those of us familiar with correct punctuation do not call them series's.
Blockbusters closing was literally the worst thing to ever happen in England
I love how Bill Hader sounds like Dot Cotton mixed with a Brummie
Oh my god, you're right!
I hear Hennimore.
Alex Hodgson what are both of those things
What kind of British nonsense is this lol
Aidy's just doing an engli-Irish-austrailian-scottish-american accent. Very common with people such as Shia Labeouf.
Or Josh Harnett.
I've never liked any of Aidy's scenes, it may be just my opinion but in my eyes she is not even entertaining in most of the sketches she is in.
I often wonder how the hell she got spot in SNL anyway
asd dasd oh no I feel the same
@@sadsquirrel4148 She's actually one of my favourite cast members so I guess it's just a matter of taste
@@sadsquirrel4148 she is still way better than the other prettier woman casts
Bill Hader's accent is the best one.
Everytime they say "ay" my heart melts they sound like little puppies😂
Bill's accent 💜
As an English(wo)man I can safely say this is 100% accurate, even if the accents are a tad weird (although Daniels yorkshire accent is bang on, sounds just like me)
/sees profile picture
And you sound like Daniel Craig?
.
.
.
.
Nice.
I wish Hader and Craig would actually get together and make a TV series out of this skit. It’s very entertaining. I love the theme song in the beginning!
As a resident from the north of England, near Whitby where some of the intro shots were taken, I can absolutely confirm this is what the UK is like
As a Brit it's really weird watching this
Hader is just too damn good.
Bill is so good in this, he really seems like a character on a British tv show
Bill Hader's English accents are really good. He doesn't have British family does he?
MagikGimp nope he's southern
leopardspots2004 Oklahoma. Never really thought of that as southern.
Having an English relative doesn't give you an accent 😂😂
Nope he’s from Tulsa!
@@sarroumarbeu6810 🤣👍
So much truer, funnier and sadder when your English XD
crissy4445 i
Aye …
I absolutely loved watching EastEnders reruns growing up. It was so refreshing, because screenwriters here have no concept of how working-class people live.
Bill Hader’s accent is great
I love American impressions of english people XD so funny.
Yeah haha Bobby’s was pretty bad
Bill sounds like if Ron Weasley had depression
god, i laughed so hard because of kate's accent, that is sooo gooddd.. she's one of the best new cast.
i think i should be offended but they would probably win the soap awards because it's more real then Eastenders, Coronation Street or Emmerdale
the fuck, Daniel looks like Jerome flynn (Bronn from Game Of Thrones) in this sketch.
I thought the same!
Yes! I couldn’t put my finger on who it was
How come this got so few laughs? It seems like the audience missed most of the jokes
Maybe they've never seen a British show.
This sketch would kill with a Canadian audience. Our tax dollars partially fund Coronation Street for heaven's sake.
I usuallly think that when american actors speak british english they överdo it but the SNL actors are really good.
Daniel Craig is good in comedy. I have never seen this Scene before.
I find it funny how ALL the accents are from different regions, and some not British at all
All of them are supposed to be different British accents though
'And then the Blockbusters' What a sad time that was :(
Aidy is 5sec in and I am laughing like a hyena in the middle of the night
I'll have a slice of tomahto with some crushed cigarettes in it, luv.
Ah finally. A realist depiction of London.
They are some of the worst English accents I've ever heard. The two American guys at the table seem to be attempting Cockney accents, but then they go and say, "Aye", like they're from Yorkshire. Then the guy who comes in speaks in a Cockney accent, but spoils it by saying, "The wee ones", like he's Scottish. As for the girl, she seems to be playing an Irish witch from the middle ages.
J-Boogie Brown Plot is still good
J-Boogie Brown hahahhaahhhahhaha exactly, an irish witch

As a fellow Oklahoman, I can confirm that a lot of us literally talk to ourselves in this accent. Which might explain why Hader is so good at it
Lol. WTF?
I think we have bill header to thank for the accuracy of this. I don't think the other guy understands British culture.
Me Fred Armisen definitely knows some British culture too
I love my wife, even though shes stuck in a chimney
Captured England so well :p
Daniel should really do a comedy he's got the chops for it
As an American who has never been to England I feel confident in saying this is 100% accurate.
what is Aidy's accent haha
Lol Scottish...ish I guess??
It's a strange kind of Edinburgh accent which is an of choice as they are often considered to be the " posh " Scottish accent and doesn't suit the three of the sketch.
Hannah Taylor thought it was Irish?
Hannah Taylor it's definitely not Scottish
Kind of Irish I believe
This is actually brilliant! I wish they'd done another when Craig was back on the show.
Did he say "1 cent 1 hour"? Since when was a cent a unit of currency in England?
since the poofta convention!
That bothered me too.
Bill sounds like Spud from Bob The Builder!
Bill nailed it omg hats off so strange hearing American talk British hahahaahha love it
Fred Armisen's character is just the bad guy from Don You Go Rounin Roun to Ri Ro (from the season 36 episode hosted by Russell Brand).
That character was basically just a parody of Ben Kingsley’s character in “Sexy Beast”.
How is Daniel Craig's accent is not as convincing as Bill Hader? He's actually British
Turns out that Daniel Craig's idea of "working class voice" can jump around the UK at will. Also is that a Dud Moore impression by Bill Hader!?
This is one of if not Aidy’s first sketch!
That was so very, very British, the American audience didn’t even know if they should laugh at it.
This is so spot on it could actually be a BBC syndicated show.
I honestly didn't get it at first but I did understand right away Bill Hader's amazing accent XD.
Fred Armisen’s accent is on point
Bill hader sounds more english than Daniel Craig🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He sounds like a flipping chuckle brother. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
its agonising how accurate this is
This was actually bloody good. Make a series!
Bill Hader has the most convincing accent... Dang!!
That was actually a very impressive parody of a British soap set in the north of England. I'm not sure the audience appreciated it's brilliance but I imagine few of them would have even seen one of the shows it was based on.
The reference to 'Thr Full Monty' 😂 "starting a male strip group 😂😂
Kristall Hawthorne lol my thoughts exactly
Other than the "ohhh noooo", Bill's accent was flawless.
Bill Hader sounds EXACTLY like Alan Carr (Chatty Man)
lmfao Kate cracks me up here xD
"First Danny Boyle left." "Aye."
"Then I did me ankle. " "Aye."
"We had to rewrite the womens stuff." "Aye."
"Now theres this Chinese cough." "Aye."
Aye.
Aye.
Ooooh Bill, I miss you...💗 He's just the best!!!😊
Bobby Moynihan's accent is great.
"Whats this a Poofta convention" Armisen Nailed it
There is not enough appreciation for this misdirect in the comments. You expect him to be the villain and insulting them - but he’s just lost and late. 😂
2:27 - Hader making his voice crack to sound like that is absolutely amazing
omg i found one of my favorite snl skits hahaha
i know i'm behind lol
Fred brought his character from the English movie sketch
Bill Haders accent is brilliant 👌🏻😂
This is great. Where is the audience?
OMG this is the show I didn't knew I needed in my life!
DANIEL CRAIG. FANTASTIC ACTOR
This is ridiculously funny !
Geniuses. Amazing actors!! I'm addicted.
the hat-tip to Raising Ned Devine tho XD (altho that one was very very Irish, not British)
For an action star Daniel has amazing comic timing...
oh my god kate mckinnon is magnificent!!! lmfao
Aidy's accent is all over the place and I love it
Is it bad that I’d watch a few episodes if this were a real show?
It is a real show. It's called Eastenders and it's been on British TV for 40+ years. They used to show it on PBS in America but I think you have to get it on BritBox now.
Wanda Slaughter is the real show as over the top bad as the skit?
@@JSchroederee Oh yeah. They're a soap so everything crazy thing goes on in this fictional neighborhood in the Eastend called Albert Square. I haven't seen it in a while, but I would guess that nothing had changed.
They nailed everything.
Bill Hader did an awesome job.
I forgot this is not an actual sitcom but a skit about one
lol i really dont think the audience understood this
One must have some prior experience whit the likes of "Only Fools and Horses".
Some of us endured a few episodes of “Coronation Street”, so....
@@user-fh1do9xb4n True
Excellent skit!
Bill Hader's accent is fourteen types of hilarious.
Both Fred and Aidy were great in their parts.
They all sounded like they were from different places, Bobby's was a weird combination of posh Northern, Southern and American and I don't know wtf Aidy was doing... Also, we don't have cents!
Seeing Kate McKinnon trying to do my accent is so hilarious
