Justin’s seamless British-to-Missouri Hick accent was 👌👌

[@NatashaZooks]

this clip is so stressful because none of them listen to each other

[@Star-pl1xs]

they rly should warn us that they're siblings

[@talatsmum]

American accents throw me because you sound like the TV ok.

[@Whatlander]

"oh shit they're real"

[@NimjaIV]

I get where the question asker is coming from. Being constantly complimented on their accent, while done with good intentions, just makes them self-conscious about the fact that they are seen as a foreigner. It's an act of Othering, which, again, is not done out of malice but is done nonetheless.

[@Abigail-hu5wf]

It's also really really patronising and condescending. "Oh cool you didn't listen to anything I said huh"

[@clanofclams2720]

it is okay to condescend to and other Br*tish people

[@jessesherer9792]

Q: Why do Americans love English accents? A: Stockholm Syndrome

[@calebduarte5255]

Nah, that would be Swedish accents

[@Whatlander]

The answer is imperialism conditioning entire cultures to subconsciously perceive England as elite/special and y'all just gotta fucking deal. Congratulations, you played yourself, The English.

[@MissMystery1412]

LEAVE 👏 TRAVIS 👏 ALONE 👏

[@leaffinite2001]

Travis is kind of right though. There are only about 10 or 15 distinct Accents in the US, but there are like 40 in the UK probably a lot more and it's a much smaller area. It's because accents, and language in general, both evolve just like humans. You find a lot more genetic diversity in Africa than anywhere else and the same is true of language diversity. So they shouldn't have shut him down like that

[@andrewolivetreemixing]

Travis had a good point and they weren't evenly remotely trying to understand. They "no, but" travis a lot

[@Nono-hk3is]

Love how Justin commits to the bit.

[@shawnaeatscats]

RESEARCH AND F A C T S Go off trav!

[@laurenyork6095]

Gonna have to stan for question asker here; I learned to talk in the south and despite living 11 goddamn years in Illinois, people still ask where I'm from. I have tried so damn hard to smother that twang. Stop reminding me that I have failed.

[@AwesomeAutismHC]

I think Harley Quinn said it best in the Suicide Squad: Americans love accents cause they don’t got none. She said, in a thick New York accent.

[@rain.enthusiast]

I know people get to complain about their problems and all that, but hearing a person complain about people loving his European accent is really annoying when your parents/relatives have been mocked your entire life for having a non European accent

[@singingsunflower9000]

"european" accent.. I just dont have the energy for this.....

[@aud7593]

do you mean european english accent? bc i can promise you, ppl from europe but not uk/ireland with strong accents get mocked too.

[@winkie3331]

its especially exhausting if youre not white lol. none of our accents are considered pretty by a lot of americans

[@Wolf99555]

​@@singingsunflower9000 oh my god you smug ass you know what they meant, stop being the pedantic "OH DONT YOU KNOW SWEDENLAND IS DIFFERENT FROM SWITZERLUNCH" and recognize to a lot of people, even outside of america, you are very similar. Especially when they're likely talking about racism towards non-western accents

[@Whatlander]

​@@Wolf99555 🏆 You deserve this.

[@tephlon-wrap7185]

Travis is in the right

[@Nono-hk3is]

Always

[@ViewerEm]

NOBODY LISTENS TO TRAVIS :((

[@caterinagerbasi1594]

How. US has like an accent per square mile.

[@ViewerEm]

@@caterinagerbasi1594 he was saying that since people in the US intermingle more, they're used to other US accents to the point that they aren't a really big novelty. Same thing with English accents in the UK, they all are used to it. So when people go overseas, they're exposing people to an accent they don't often hear.

[@clanofclams2720]

​@@caterinagerbasi1594 there are minimal differences between accents in Maine or in Nevada or California or Washington or New York or Montana or Idaho or Wyoming or Massachusetts or Maryland or New Hampshire or Ohio or in any location that's not the deep south.

[@HelloTardis]

They went waaaay too hard on Travis lol. I totally got what he meant

[@clanofclams2720]

Travis is completely right though.

[@julievontungeln3479]

I love how Griffey asks what’s great about him and the other two just didn’t

[@conner.j.a.wilson]

We do not have Piggly Wigglies

[@CallMeNIBS]

Ok but like, legit, did any of y'all ever hear a British person say sth /positive/ about the weather??? Like, ever???

[@mikehenderson7907]

We explode if we try.

[@NIgHTMaReFortyTwo]

Yeah we say the weather is nice all the time. We talk about the weather a lot. Of course we mention when its nice out. The weather is often fine, its just Americans making stereotypes the way Americans do.

[@Ajbolt89]

NIgHTMaReFortyTwo haha stereotypical Americans

[@Nono-hk3is]

Cor blimey

[@Xhumed]

As someone who is British and has been to America, this is a real problem, also, sod off, Justin 😜

[@calebduarte5255]

Imagine being annoyed because someone basically just thinks you have a cool voice. Like, I know a lot of people write into the show with really minor problems (it’s a comedy podcast, after all) but they are usually...still problems. Sorry for the rant, but humble bragging with zero self awareness always sets me off in a way that not much else does.

[@Saveme99isawesome]

Yea, even other people in these comments calling it othering and being condescending... Like it was just a compliment, just accept it and move on with your day. It's like someone complimenting your shoes or your hair, why would it bother anybody?

[@LWNOWAY]

We love British accents because we all secretly desire to be ruled again

[@Ingestedbanjo]

Why are crumpets the only food Americans think we eat? I have some online friends I play games with and they keep making jokes about me eating crumpets. I don't even like crumpets! They're rubbery and horrible! Stop with the crumpets! Scones with jam and clotted cream (not gravy??) are far superior.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

I will say there's nothing like a nice warm crumpet with butter and honey on a cold day.
