Fred Armisen Can Do Any Accent In The World | CONAN on TBS

[@AstroPsych_]

As soon as Conan says "Jamaica," you can see the panic in Fred's eyes as he says to himself "how do I make this not sound racist?"

[@soccerguy2433]

but its not racist if its Caucasians

[@AMBR0X]

it's not racist, but it kinda offends me a bit whenever I hear non-Jamaicans trying to speak in a Jamaican accent. I've only heard one white guy who's mastered the accent. And when I did, it blew my mind. It's very difficult to imitate, if you weren't born in the culture

[@tkmaz]

Jamaicans sound Jamaican not African American. Which...curious thought, do black people have an "accent" that is different from whites in places like the UK? Because if not, this would be a sociology project on racism. I'd totally read/watch that.

[@AMBR0X]

+tkmaz I noticed that most black people I hear in the UK speak patois (Jamaican English) with a Brit accent

[@АрнульфСтелигов]

@@ЕкатеринаДоброва-ь3з No it's precisely the accent that is. (remembering Bill Hader's impersonating John Malkovich: "But I don't speak like that" - "No, this is exactly how you speak"). I'm impressed by Fred's abilities to do accents, and immediately liked his comic abilities too. Actually I first discovered Fred Armisen yesterday in SNL shorts "The Californians", and I got there from the comment section under a post on Reddit which represented some accents as either funny or normal. Я думаю, что помимо прочих объективных факторов, известная грубость русского акцента вызвана нежеланием _большинства_ населения прислушиваться к нюансам языка. Впрочем это верно для любых акцентов. Люди учат язык потому что хотят возвысить свой соцстатус а не потому что им интересен сам язык. As for Minsk, it's not in Russia. And Sydney is not in England, so why do they speak English there? Curious.

[@18da18]

+Shinigiffy “White Russia” is an inappropriate translation. It's a term coined back in the XVIII century by a Russian Empress to diminish national identity of then “Litva” (at that time the Ukraine was called “Small Russia”). Unfortunately that's still used in German for instance and by Russians (for obvious reasons), however “Belarus” means “White Rus”, and that's more accurate, as “Rus” was a name used for couple of duchies in that lands (e.g. Polotsk Rus) before the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (or rather, Litva, which was the name for Belarus, while “Lietuva” was the name for Lithuania). But thanks to the Russian politics and people's ignorance “Litva”/“Belarus” identity is on a couple of hundred year old trip to diminishing. I don't expect anyone to know all that, but Belarus is not Russia, not yet at least.

Hey, that's Mlep(clay)nos. The clay is silent

[@antotheja251]

I am German.. and his German accent was more Austrian. Yeah, there is a difference.

[@lonewolflp5304]

es ging östereicher stechen noch etwas mehr raus dadurch das er seine stimme ziemlich ruhig gehalten hat kam es an den akzent der leute in meiner stadt ran :D (Lüdenscheid) NRW :P

[@RnBenji]

bullshit I'm from cologne and his accent was on point! haha im ernst das klang echt gut hhah

[@antotheja251]

Benjamin Baumewerd nee einfach mal gar nicht. und ja vllt kölscher dialekt deutsch, aber allgemeines hochdeutsch im englischen akzent klingt eher wie flula. so wie der gute fred halt null. ich sg auch net dass ers net drauf hat

[@PotterMarauder]

It was. He sounded exactly like my grandfather, who is from vienna.

[@landvogt3450]

[@deanneshorty]

I think as a german, that he did the german speaking verry good. The Hamburg accent I don't know. I never been to Hamburg.

ich wohne in der nähe von hamburg und der akzent klingt tatsächlich nicht so sehr nach einem hamburg akzent aber es ist trotzdem cool, dass er deutsch spricht xD
