[@Sam-tu1on]

@@Blackoutproject lol okay fair enough, Dick Van Dyke holds the trophy for the worst cockney accent ever in film. However Brian's attempt is in the same ballpark. At different times throughout the film he sounded straight american, australian, south african, or a weird mix. On the occasion that certain words or phrases did sound like a vague southern english accent, it was mixed between recieved pronunciation (posh) and cockney. It was clear that it was an American putting on a really bad cockney accent - pronouncing 'bad arse' as 'bard arse' was comically bad.
