He has an accent because when he was younger he had a bad stutter (still a bit obvious) so he puts on this accent because it stops him from stuttering so much :) P.S I'm glad he did because it's the cutest accent ever haha

[@Authenticity9812]

i love the face of absolute horror he makes when he realises what he was doing

[@Lyndonz0r]

watched this so many times and laugh each time

[@Kaffyboy]

Why does Josh have an accent, he was born in QLD?!

[@mcshanefamily1696]

Part Australian, part gay affectation, part speech impediment. After watching him in this new U.S.-based show, that’s all I can figure out.

[@geddes62]

i was actually on the floor laughing

[@TheOddOctopus]

gotta love the look of otta shock on his face at 0:23

[@joeltopgun]

Its funny, micallef always parodied gameshows on his abc program, and now he's doing one :)

[@pootustangus]

im cracking up

[@bertini51]

Josh Thomas never brushes his heir.

[@JaciWalker]

where can i find the whole episode o this?

[@OnlyLuv4eVa]

thats was preettty funny and weird :D

[@creamysodarevenge]

@lemonrind Josh speaks with his own strange but unique accent and Shaun accidentally pronounced 'thousand' the way Josh would have :P

[@rainlori]

@Kaffyboy It is an affectation.

[@Jaslulu]

LOLOLOL

[@FakeApology]

Haha, I thought I was the only one who picked people's accents.

[@ribetacatcha]

@vcat10 Or perhaps the stutter reason was right...

[@curzongaming]

"which i assume is Klingon :)

[@vcat10]

@vcat10 or it could just be 'posh inner city schoolboy'

[@vcat10]

@ScattySafari 'Accent' yeh right. He has that high pitched sing-song ish nasal voice for similar reasons to why flowers give out scent, so they can be identified by bees. That is to say, so he is easily identifiable as a fem gay boy to those who are into that particular persona. People behave in ways that will attract those that they want to attract. I'm not surprised to hear he was a stutterer as he still comes across as being terribly insecure and unsure of himself.

@ScattySafari Thanks for replying! Wow I didn't know that! That's really interesting.. Hmm.

[@oOicecoldangelOo]

@spongemonkey27 You flatter me.

[@spongemonkey27]

@oOicecoldangelOo you sure told him

[@oOicecoldangelOo]

@bertini51 Indeed, his HEIR remain unbrushed.

[@decemberferret]

@joeltopgun, micallef's humor has always been ironic / redundant and it really wouldn't surprise me if he agreed to do a show like this for the sheer irony. But as oldmate said, it's not exactly a game show per-se, since i dont really ever see anyone winning anything, and the rules change whenever shaun gets an idea into his head. It's just an excuse to laugh. It's as much a game show as TGYH

[@oOicecoldangelOo]

*remains

[@friendly.fire.]

My friend went to Josh's high school and apparently he puts on the accent. The accent is fake because he believes it makes him more interesting.

[@OtaCat]

@decemberferret Yes, but TGYH has started to fail ever since channel 7 stole it. So, Meh

[@phoebethompson8650]

CLINGON HAHAHAHA

[@amillionminutes]

It's mean to mock the mentally disabled.
