"Are you from the same part of England as Dick Van Dyke?".....terrific! And for those who don't get it Dick Van Dyke has been mercilessly slammed for years for his horrible English accent in 'Mary Poppins'.

[@Pranksta1985]

It was never that bad, as a young kid I thought he was English as I'm sure others did too.

[@JohnyG29]

​@@Pranksta1985 I think you need an urgent hearing test if you really think that. 😂 Dick had the worst accent.

[@Pranksta1985]

@JohnyG29 I literally said when I was younger, like a kid, he was fine, it was a played up cockney accent, I've heard way worse, Karl Urban in The Boys may be the worst English accent ever.

[@Quasimodo1957]

@@Pranksta1985 Honestly I think it's okay. It's still better than Dick Van Dyke.

[@Pranksta1985]

@Quasimodo1957 are you English? Have you heard an English accent? At least Dick Van Dykes English accent was discernable and you could tell what part of England he was supposed to be from, Karl Urban sounds like a muted Australian 😐

[@sindragore8566]

inability of youtube's 2024 automated captions to decipher a lot of Scottish lines but getting the lift's lines 100% correct only makes the whole skit better. happy new 2025 year to you all folks, greetings from Ukraine! humour is an indispensable asset of humanity, especially in chaotic, dire, dark times. i salute to everyone who at least tried to make the people around them smile, i believe those who succeeded in doing so are our true heroes!

[@dictatoribenevolo8394]

greetings back to Ukraine! :)) Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

[@uutdiegodzilla3821]

So you tried the english subtitles, too, huh? 😂 The irony, that even the YT subtitles generator did not understand the scottish accent, escaped me completely at first! (A very good point!) I also 100% agree with your oppinion about the importance of humor in dire times! It really helps. Some 20+ years ago, I severely broke my lower leg, and it had to be fixed by an emergency surgery during the night. When I arrived in my hospital room around the following midday, I chatted a bit with my two room mates. Naturally, we talked about what brought us there, who we are, etc. During this conversation, I very often fell asleep mid sentence, because I was still full of anaesthetics and also lacked sleep. I asked for apologies for doing so. In Germany, we say: "It's no broken leg!", if someone apologizes for a minor thing that can easily be forgiven. And that's exactly what one of my room mates said. Followed by: "Oops! I'm sorry. Indeed it is!". 😂 After all this time, I still have to smile thinking about this. Edit I almost forgot to say: Hang in there! I hope Putin will not win this horrible war, and that Ukraine will be able to stand their ground! And I wish peace will come for all of you, very soon! 💙💛

[@edroth7612]

There is an old "showbiz" line .. . . . .. "Always leave them laughing". . .! ! ! ! !!! ! !

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

I watched a dubbed anime a couple months ago and couldn't get the auto-generated subtitles to go away for some reason, and it's attempts at extracting English words from the untranslated themesong was hilarious, though the only bit I remember was: "Eisenhower whaling chair"

[@sensitiveissues3671]

Thanks for pointing this out. The skit was hilarious already, but with the auto caption on it's hilarious squared🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SG-1-GRC]

As a Yorkshire woman I confirm that they don't understand yet the Yorkshire accent either.

[@sulalee7413]

Same all over the UK. I've an RP ("received pronounciation") accent. My phone hates me. I think it hates my voice and thinks I'm a posh twat. But I am what I am and wouldn't judge anyone else for being who they are. I speak into my phone (can't type due to disability), "I shall be home within the hour", and it types, "I shall be in a boat now". 🙄 The local bookshop's lift has a Spanish accent. It says "dors clothing" 👍😊

:-D I can believe that!

[@Fickji]

My dad and brother always have trouble with the voice recognition thing. And we're from Michigan. I told my brother one day to try a "Californian Valley Girl" accent and it worked perfectly. I think its because most of the voice recognition technology is made in California so of course the only accent it would recognize is "Californian Valley Girl".

[@Outmind01]

How many "likes" do you need to insert into a sentence for it to work properly?

[@brianingarfill1773]

LOL LOL I'm from the UK but lived in southern California for 45 years and had that problem for the ENTIRE time. I sew a U Tube with a European flight attendant would just sing la la la and would automatically go to an operator!!!! Now I'm in the UK I have the same problem because I have a very slight American accent-just goes to show that you cant win!!!

[@chickenmonger123]

Vowels are just suggestions across the world. A place to insert whatever sound you want, and call it English. If you didn’t use them, you’d sound crazy, but you’d sound more similar. The problem is they modify the consonants, so you have to keep them in the spelling in order to tell which version of the consonant you want. Which seems like nonsense, but is highly expressive ordinarily. Th/t w/ld l/k l/k/ th/s /r s/mth/ng s/m/l/r t/ /t. But you’d have to learn all the funny letters pronunciation.
