I've been in the US for 25 years, and at least once a day I get some woman say "I love your accent, I could listen to you all day!" If I'm with my Anne, she usually says "You can have him for $25 per hour!"
I remember being in Canada and a group of girls heard my accent and asked me if I was a pop star. I told them I was the drummer in Oasis and has them follow me around for the rest of the day 😂
It's not just youngsters that are pissed. I've just turned 16 ( I was 61 when I turned it). The way they're treating "OUR" N.H.S. is just diabolical. 😔🇬🇧🇺🇸💜
Three of us Brits Engineers were down in Atlanta Georgia, in a bar have drinks and a meal, before we new it there 8 women sitting around us , asking us to say different words, they were having a great time with our pronunciation.
When I was in South Carolina with my (now) ex, filling up at a petrol station, she asked me to get a receipt, so I went in and asked for one. The first thing the young woman said was, "I love your accent!" After I replied, "Thanks." and told her where I was from and why I was over in the US, the next thing she said was, "You should do an audiobook."
His sister is vastly under appreciated as an actor. They fact that she made you hate the character in Him and Her shows how good she is. I thought the character was vile too - but Kerry's portrayal of shock on her character's wedding day, is one of the best bits of acting I've seen
Dyou know why you're so adorable, Amanda? You've lived here with us Brits so long you're practically one of us. You get our sense of humour ( yes, it's spelt with a "u"). Welcome to the asylum, girl. 😃🇬🇧🇺🇸💜
Aussie here. The "Say something" thing happened to a good mate of mine when he was in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a hot day and he was a bit thirsty, so he wandered into a bar and bought a beer. As soon as he spoke to the barman, everyone in the bar took notice. They ended up buying him drinks just to listen to him talk. SIX HOURS later, he staggered out of the bar, shit-faced, falling down, legless drunk - and became that way for the price of one single, solitary beer! America really is the land of opportunity, especially if you have an accent and a good line of bullshit to go with it!
@@LADYRAEUKdid you check ir out? His skit about running into a friend with downs syndrome when hes just come from dentist with a numb face is so British
I got "oh my God, what language do you speak over there? Your English is soooo good" from one after she asked where I was from and I said "England". The answer was in the name of the country ffs!
Watching so much Brit TV I pick up on regional accents. In Disney World I was sitting next to a group from the UK, I asked were they from the north of England. They were from Manchester.
Hi Amanda, there's a beautiful irony watching to a video about accents whilst listening to the British way of saying things creeping into your accent 🙂
As someone said, the Greta Thunberg interview is really good, really empathetic. Forget an English accent in PA - a Scottish accent while wearing kilt made for a very interesting night in PA (once the ladies realised they had to warm their hands first)
not sure wyoa, but accents; usa love english?couple of us Geordies go over..."are you Swedish??" wtf? oh well, US has lots of accents too! Watch some Jim Dandy Melgrum videos.......:)
Honestly, it is the best interview of Greta I have ever seen. It breaks the humourless stereotype that the news programmes portray her as, and shows her as human, with a good sense of humour.
My friend liz who went to the same school as me has been in grand junction colorado,she married a guy from there who she met here,she asked me to come over,saying the ladies will love you and your accent,Birmingham,great content the Alan Carr chatty man series was very funny and having Russell on is funny,how are you bab,hope alls good with you amanda
The English accent thing works both ways too. Most of the time the Americans do love it, but I was a director for an American clothing company and at my first style review (Before the garments hit the stores) we had to comment on them as they were modelled for us. I saw one item which was stunning, and I said "This item will go a bomb in the stores" The whole meeting went silent and I was asked to explain my reasoning. It was at that moment that another director explained that "Bombing" in the American vernacular means it is rubbish, whereas in Britain "Going a bomb" means it is great. Like you, Amanda, I had to learn that although we both speak English, certain words have different meanings as they cross the Atlantic.
Im think it was in the series, Frazier where the nurse was told she had an English accent! No she answered. I speak English and you speak with an accent!! 😁
😊👍The song in the advert is sung by Norwegian artist Aurora. I highly recomend you listen to some of her music. It's magical. She also did the voice calling out to Elsa in Disneys Frozen 2, both in the movie and in the song "into the unknown. I'll leave a link to the "half the world away" music video in the response to this comment.
Regarding accents, I was on a ski holiday to Vail about three decades ago. On two separate occasions an early to mid teenager asked me where I was from. I turned it back on them and asked "Were do you think I'm from?" They couldn't have got it much more wrong, they were in the wrong hemisphere. I've always lived in Central Scotland but they thought I was Australian 😳
Yes. Watch any of Russell Howard's Good News. He is very funny and he also has a heartwarming moment in there too, not just funny and painfully true things about politicans and celebrities
Yeah I vaguely remember that advert from John Lewis. Think it was a few years ago though maybe 2018. Wish I had been in that lift to wish that woman Happy Birthday lol! 😜

Great video gave me a good laugh tonight. A very talented family as you said Kerry was so horrible in Him and Her you disliked her straight away but that's the talent. Hope you have a fantastic weekend weekend ❤🌹🏴
im from Thrapston in Northamptonshire i was born at 36 Highfield Road on the 11/11 /1960 and we had about 8 different accents in our local area even i could hardly make out some from a few miles away but it was a fun time to live
The John Lewis advert is called Man on The Moon from almost 3 or 4 years ago, and yes it is abit creepy. But if you want a suggestion for another review, can I suggest A Tribute to BSM Williams. Trust me.
Hi Amanda, I've seen a couple of other react channels do the John Lewis Christmas adverts, they are always very popular here and usually have an emotional twist. Definitely one to add to your list :)
I saw a really good Christmas ad some years ago. I think it may have been Spanish, but it was a similar theme to the JL ones (quite emotive). If I can find it I'll try to stick a link on here.
What's a bit odd is that I (born in the same county as Russell Howard, btw) watch a lot of UA-cam, and you accent is the best non-European accent I've ever heard. You sound so soothing, intelligent, yet sultry and sexy. Accents sure ard a weird thing. But yours has got everything just right. IMO of course. ❤
If American ladies react like that to a British accent i'd better go over there as i don't get any luck here, lol!, i do remember that advert, i expect you can find it online.
I've got a reasonably 'posh' British accent and I do my best impression of Hugh Grant when in the States. I reckon I could get away with murder, but I haven't tried it! There's a whole list of John Lewis Christmas adverts and the best (in my humble opinion) is Edgar the Dragon.
Hahaha so Amanda you was secretly thinking what the F Leave my fella alone Lol. I didn't know the girls in the usa was hot for a cockney accent? I better get a air ticket.
Yeah, Russell may look young, but he has been around a long time. Great comedian and shreds UK politicians and has great guests on his show. Alan is so great too! I'll say something... "Hello, I'm from England, how are you?" 🤣 Yeah, we older people are mental! (that has to be said in a Cockney accent).
I speak German with a German accent French with a French accent my mother tounge is English a BBC accent and have lived in america for over thirty years and can't for the life of me adopt an american accent except for saying Buddha for butter.
Hi Amanda. How lovely to hear from you so soon haha. Alan Carr is very funny, but ive seen better Russell Howard stuff, in fact i thought you covered him in one of your vlogs? perhaps not.. Ive never heard of Him and Her, but im a bit out of touch, Thanks Amanda😀
You need to watch some of Russell's actual stuff . You laughed at Alan Carr . Russell is great, watch him solo please. I have a feeling that you would love him❤
I was in florida on holiday with my son, i grabbed him and threw him in the swimming pool.... four American women gave me looks of total disgust until I shouted out swim nemo swim... in a British accent then it was competition time to who could snag the Britiish guy lmfao
Great Choice, Amanda! Watching your reactions is priceless - your snorting is SOOO cute!! I bet your husband just tells jokes or finds this type of material just to hear you snort & guffaw (Google that term!)

The ladies loved my English accent in Florida years ago.
I once got complimented by a shop assistant in an American shop, on how well I spoke English as I was from the UK.
I got "oh my God, what language do you speak over there? Your English is soooo good" from one after she asked where I was from and I said "England".
The answer was in the name of the country ffs!

It's tough sometimes ! lol I'm glad I'm not alone! :)
The John Lewis ads are a national institution - I defy you to find a Brit that hasn't seen at least one, if not all!
Lol
Alan is very funny too. I absolutely love Russell he's the best. Lee Evans is another great comedian
Im think it was in the series, Frazier where the nurse was told she had an English accent! No she answered. I speak English and you speak with an accent!! 😁
Lol
The John Lewis adverts are on UA-cam XX
Gillian Anderson doing a British accent does it for me and then when I watch an episode of the X - Files with her speaking normally i`m done lol
She has an unfair advantage - she was brought up in London until her mid-teens, and has made London her home again for the past 20 years or so.

The John Lewis advert 'The Man on the Moon' is my favourite one and was for 'Age UK' to show how lots of old people are lonely at christmas.
Ms Rae, you really need to try Mock the Week. We are talking 20 seasons of great comedians on a quiz show designed to make you laugh!
I’m on it!
@@LADYRAEUK Thank you!
MP’s in this country are the last people who should ever deserve a pay rise
I was lucky i grew up with a friend like russel howard funny 😂

He has a great regular piece where he asks school kids about big issues of the day. Well worth checking out on UA-cam!😄
The clip where broke his arm on set is hilarious
Russell is good on Mock the Week (getting the cramp especially) has some great banter. He's good on taskmaster. He's done a few tour DVD's too.
Big up brizzle
Yes. Watch any of Russell Howard's Good News. He is very funny and he also has a heartwarming moment in there too, not just funny and painfully true things about politicans and celebrities
Russell Howard is even better if you get to see him live.
Yeah I vaguely remember that advert from John Lewis. Think it was a few years ago though maybe 2018. Wish I had been in that lift to wish that woman Happy Birthday lol! 😜

Omg if the parody brings you to tears. You orta watch the complications of a lot of John Lewis adverts 😢 every year they try to make you cry
4:50 - I imagine at this moment the flights to Pennsylvania became suddenly overbooked.
Imagine being in the USA...speaking with a British accent ( oh VERY cut glass don't you know ) while wearing a Kilt...now that's HILARIOUS !
The John Lewis advert is called Man on The Moon from almost 3 or 4 years ago, and yes it is abit creepy. But if you want a suggestion for another review, can I suggest A Tribute to BSM Williams. Trust me.

You don't get accents in America? But the country has loads. New york, Boston, Minnesota, California, Chicago.

then it was competition time to who could snag the Britiish guy lmfao

If you thought Alan Carrs interpretation of that ad was funny, have you seen Russel Howards version of the John Lewis Penguin Christmas ad? 😂😂😂😂
This is several years old
Do a reaction to 'Hi Ren' by Ren. It's genius.
Watch Peter Kaye, a great comedian
Young people who whoop about supporting the NHS never get beyond that to volunteer themselves to pay for it.. That's someone else's responsibility!

Why no Billy Connolly ?
