This geography show should be called: Guess the reference & description.
Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
That was really annoying
There is an additional variable in that they are also describing common stereotypes associated with the region they're impersonating - meaning the other person can guess without specifically recognising the accent! Boo! Unscientific!
Yeah should’ve just done the accents dan
haha me and dan are on the same wavelength
Funny how he hated doing the Chelsea accent, but it was his best one.
i think that was the joke he was being stuck up on purpose
Brilliant north Wales accent, I detect Gwynedd or Anglesey. The fact that the woman had no idea shows how much Welsh accents are always depicted as south Wales. There was a recent drama on Radio 4 (of all places) about the early years of Lloyd George, and he sounded like he was from Neath. Totally wrong.
Best way to nail a Northwelian accent is to say “one pound forty nine plîs”! Early memories of Spar shopping in Pwllheli. Gogs am byth!
That North Wales accent is so accurate - we all sound like that 😂
Notbad, but they should have had set sentences and not described the place... kind of cheating :/
Exactly. Too many clues were being given so not really guessing.
The North Wales accent is spot on
She's Just as adorable in real life, a good actor too
Loved their Chelsea accents. Howled when Beattie got South Wales
I would've thought Chelsea & cockney would be the same...
Elis James: *Darllen “North Wales”*
Elis James: O! Gruff Rhys!
Not gonna lie, odd yr exchange yna’n excruciating. A fersiwn hi o acen hwntw🤦🏻♀️. Swnio’n Albanaidd a Rwsiaidd ar yr un pryd.
I'm not British, but even without the names of the places, I could have guessed most of these based on context clues.
No scouse?
How dare they put no scouse
my family played this game last Christmas - only there were two sets of cards you had to draw from each time - one with the accent and one with a phrase you had to say in that accent. You also had to do it in a certain time - think it was a minute to think about it and say it. It was harder than you'd think, especially with the more obscure accents. And there was no giving clues allowed either!
That Yorkshire part was .......
Ahhh well... I don't know ..I didn't feel it right ...🤔
No Norfolk? Such a distinct accent should have been on there, especially if Wakefield was
Norfolk is one of the hardest accents to do properly.
Shock horror! No brummy accent!
Because they couldn't do it to save their life.
Ikr
His Welsh was more brummy!
@@GeorgiaGeorgette He is Welsh.
I am Canadian and I would like to see british people try to tell the difference between NA English Accents.
You all sound the same
how you doing, eh?
southern vs mid western accent is alot different anyone can tell
That would be hilarious
I don't think US and CA accents sound the same, for one example Vince Vaughn and Jordan Peterson. It seems to me that famous Canadian actors like Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling try to Americanise their way of speaking, but a simple UA-cam search makes it obvious your average Canadian has different speech patterns and pronounces certain words differently to Americans. I'm English and Canada is interesting to me, like how some of you guys speak French, the Canadian/French accent hybrid is pretty cool.
The Wrexham accent is undoubtedly the most underrecognized and underrepresented one in the U.K (it sounds mainly Scouse with a bit of Welsh and Manc thrown in). I was expecting that for North Wales but the North West Wales accent was the most convincing fake one here, probably.
They didn't attempt Queen's English.
Chelsea
@@MissShootingStar5 Which they were unpleasantly snobbish and disparaging about. I thought the BBC was supposed to be impartial.
where was birmingham at
Birmingham doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy. They only have the train station, so you think it exists.
@@afunnyman So where was I went i went to birmingham
I'm sorry, but you were drugged and put under hypnotism.
No Scouse? I guess it's finally figured it's not English
Awab Sherif British accent challenge lol
Its barely human
😂😂😂😂😂😂
use dnt no wtf ye are talkin about ye gang of nits. brummies defo
Paul England lol just banter bro, I love my scousers .
that north wales one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the chelsea one was painfully accurate
More people doing this please
Beattie is gorgeous
I need to play this with my friends
Guaranteed every person from North Wales (including me) is highkey triggered by the woman now 😂
I'm triggered by the guy - 'cardiff?' 'yeah!' Like... No,
Also it was a great north welsh accent... If you were from liverpool
I’m from Somerset!!! xx
me too :)))
Yorkshire is loveYorkshire is life
I feel like the Chelsea accent is the British version of the Beverly Hills accent in the US lol
Yeah, same load of privileged a**holes!
Norn iron?
she looks exactly like abigail from skins. I actually thought it was her until i googled her and realised it wasn't lol
Yes, it is literally impossible for someone from England or Wales to try a Glasgow accent without saying "I'm from Glasgee". You try but you just find yourself doing it all the same and giving it away.
No Northern Irish accents then? I know its the hardest to replicate but at least have a try!
That "North Wales accent" was more like Pakistani.
Nilguiri well the Indian and Pakistani accents are heavily influenced by the Welsh accent. I read that the Welsh actually taught many Indians and Pakistanis English
Ah, that's interesting... Now that you mention it!
I found this on the BBC, "Searching for the Welsh-Hindi":
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4328733.stm
Cheers
One Hindi doctor in north Wales told her that when he answered the phone, people hearing his accent would begin talking to him in Welsh.
"I thought maybe it isn't a coincidence, and if I dig deeper I might find something more," Ms Mathur said.
Particular similarities between the accents are the way that both place emphasis on the last part of word, and an elongated way of speaking that pronounces all the letters of a word.
"We tend to pronounce everything - all the consonants, all the vowels," Ms Mathur said.
"For example, if you were to pronounce 'predominantly', it would sound really similar in both because the 'r' is rolled, there is an emphasis on the 'd', and all the letters that are used to make the word can be heard.
"It's just fascinating that these things happen between people who come from such varied backgrounds."
The similarities have sometimes proved particularly tricky for actors - Pete Postlethwaite, playing an Asian criminal in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects, had his accent described by Empire magazine as "Apu from the Simpsons holidaying in Swansea".

All Welsh accents impersonations are dissapointing.
@@elinjones4743 cytuno!
I'm not sure she'd have got the Newcastle accent right if it hadn't have been for that big clue.
It was so Intense that I started sweating. Then they were so funny I Peed myself a little. Oh my God more more more more more more more more. You’re so talented why don’t they have a TV show? Like a real TV show?
Carmarthenshire is not North Wales and they don't speak like that.
They said its not North Wales, and that's a pretty good impression of people from North West Wales
it was. I used to live in Caernarfon and I love the NW accent. it has that element of Scouse in it. and the sound of the letter 'T'.
@littlesmew probably.
Amazing!
I’m from near Wakefield
Northern Irish ? Wouldn’t attempt if you are from the south of England 😂
No matter who tries no one can do a Mackem or geordie accent. Don’t even try. Please
Yeah, it's a difficult one to get right.
My dad can do a good impression but he comes from jarrow
Wakefield viewers switched off
Everyone is talking about accents that were missed but a whole country was forgotten about like what about a Northern Irish accent??
Lucy McConnell The north of ireland isn’t in Britain. Britain is England and Wales, Great Britain is England,Wales and Scotland and the UK is NI, England, Scotland and Wales.
Why are they on the josh set
Northern Ireland be like: 👁👃👁
What about the fenland east anglian accents wheres the love for them.
I couldn't do most of these accents
Neither could they.
Lmao it's pretty much only the old farmers that speak with that accent is Somerset
Not true. Have you ever actually been to Somerset?
Drahcir Nevarc I live in Somerset lmao
+Nearly Witches AF
Haha, ok. But I live in Bristol, play cricket in the North Somerset League, and regularly encounter all sorts of people who talk like the Wurzels.
Essex ??
Innit
Hollie Mae innit like i was like das well supprisin dat it wasnt there innit
Glasgow really that’s sad I’m from Glasgow and that’s sad
Disappoints me when people think the whole of wales has just the one accent i.e a south welsh accent
Usually the same for Scotland - this is the first time I've seen non-Scottish realise that!
Beattie Edmonson looks so much like Lily Rabe.
i've never seen north wales being represented in these accent challenges before and the guy actually did it quite well lmao
That Somerset 'accent' was so disappointing
Meggolegit ofberk It’s just for a laugh. It wouldn’t be half as funny if they were great at accents.
Meggolegit ofberk cyder was pretty good imo. I’m not English and I could have guessed it. Isn’t that where hot fuzz was made?
Posh place in Scotland? Fit're ye oan about, like? Edinburgh isnae posh, just... less drunk infested.
oh piss off typing in your accent you plonker
BALEGDAH
Why the fuck have Wakefield and Yorkshire?
Why does North Wales sound like a whimpsy Donald Trump?
I love telling people I’m from cowfield
See, Britain is already uniquely multi-cultural with its indigenous accents.
Shortest Geordie accent I've heard
'cowfield'
I am from Hampshire and I am insulted she thought that Chelsea accent was from here smh
I’m sorry but why was Wakefield even on there? We just all have Yorkshire accents, nothing special lmao
whats wrong with chelsea?
Erm.. hang on.. BOLEGDEH
Is this filmed on the set of Mrs Brown's Boys?
They are both really good!
No. They were both rubbish. That "North Welsh" sounded more like Pakistani than Welsh. And her South Welsh was pure shite. And that attempt at Geordie was just embarrassing. My poor old Geordie dad will be spinning in his grave!
I’m from north wales and I’d say that accent was pretty accurate
You should get out more and meet some of the locals!
errrrrrrrr I think she probably went to school with them?? are you a laugh lol
Fuck sake as someone from Somerset we don't speak like that!
As if she dunt even know where wakey is
I ship it
Her Newcastle was better hahaha
lol
Imagine if there were this many accents in California.
Most of Europe is like this. You travel 10 miles and the accent changes or a different dialect all together.
Wow!
she looks v like her dad, but you can see her mum's features too. not nearly as funny though.
We need Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston to do this !!!!!
Wheres one of the most unique accents from our country second city? Typical BBC with it’s anti Birmingham bias
Cheap telly.
They all sound the same to me. It’s like watching Haey Potta!
Cute couple
This is how it's done:
ua-cam.com/video/riwKuKSbFDs/v-deo.html
People from Glasgow are triggered
Tosspots.
lmao the manchester accent was so bad
He could not do North Wales. Got it VERY WRONG. No wonder she couldn't get it.
He is from North Wales, it is literally his native accent.
@@mavsworld1733 He's from South Wales.
Both Welsh accents were horrible
Layla ussuman the north one was pretty accurate
I know three separate people from North Wales who sound exactly like the guy that it was scary so idk what your talking about mate 😂 and can't say much about the South Wales one seen as she didn't really do it anyways
Bro the guy was welsh lol
Nobody outside of Scotland has ever been able to do a decent impersonation of the accents

you guys do know there is no such thing as a "British" accent? Accents and dialects vary widely across the Great Britain, Ireland and nearby smaller islands. As such, a single "British accent"
does not exist. However, someone could be said to have an English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish accent, although these all have several different sub-types.
An Irish accent cannot be British as Britain is an island
Sassy
No. "Great Britain" is the name of the island. "Britain" can mean the British Isles or the UK. So it does certainly does include Northern Ireland and arguably could include Ireland although it is not generally understood to include Ireland, so to an extent, you are right, but not for the reason you gave.
Fair enough buddy thank you for correcting me, I wasn't aware of the difference between Britain and Great Britain
MMOJunkie
Which is probably why the game is based on the ability to mimic the different strains of spoken English? Missing the point or what?
Britain can't mean the UK it's an island. The official name for your nation is the United Kingdom of Greeat Britain and Northern Ireland. great Britain is just England, Scotland and Wales. The UK includes Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland became an independent nation in 1921 and has nothing to do with the UK or Britain.
manchester one was shite
she should not be allowed to do a scottish accent again... my ears hurt
What crap
This is poorly done and shoddy television that insults the intelligence, if not the people they are doing stage school shite impressions of. If you want to do British accents you at least get someone from the place, or even better: go there. Newcastle's accent is different to Sunderland's. Bolton's is different to Central Manchester. If you cannot do all 4 well enough to be recognisable you should not be doing a show impersonating British accents.
Couldn't even work out their actual accents and most of these wete terrible.
Fucking shit the end.
Chill, Mr Negativo.
What. What's annoying about a Chelsea accent? And compared to what - a Northern accent? No, of course... the Chelsea one is the one that makes you sick. Blimey.
LyleDeYounges A lot of people find "posh" accents boring or irritating
Inverse snobbery.
None of the people in that crappy series about Chelsea were actually born there,plus they are not posh. just rich.
I don't watch tv and have never seen Made in Chelsea, so I wouldn't know. On the other hand, I did most of my growing up in Chelsea, and the accent I hear whenever I'm back in town doesn't seem to have changed much since my youth.
The inverse snobbery about Chelsea was not attractive.
An accurate portrayal of a lot of people's reaction to those idiotic programs though. And I do have agree with you there, the Chelsea accent is a massive turn off
@@charimonfanboy Missing the point.
@@drahcirnevarc9152 No worries, you'll find it eventually
