- UrineSqueegee 2y agocan you be that socially inept that you can't understand it's a joke?
- card_zero 2y agoIs something that's just wrong the same as a joke? Anyway London accents don't go "oi". This is a Birmingham accent. London accents go "ah".
- kristiandupont 2y agoI am honestly trying to figure out what you are arguing here. GGP didn't say something like "This is what everyone in England sounds like: ..."
- card_zero 2y agoIsn't that what a caricature is supposed to do? Here we have a caricature which is irritating because it's off the mark. I demand better mockery.
- tempodox 2y agoIs Birmingham accent bad mockery?
- card_zero 2y agoIt's oddly specific mockery, like Ozzy is England's international representative. I don't know, maybe he is. But I doubt Birmingham even inspired the meme, this is probably a caricature of Dick Van Dyke more than anyone. To be fair, Brits seem to think New Yorkers go "oi" and they don't really either.
- yieldcrv 2y agowe know, enjoy the mockery
- worik 2y ago> Not everyone from the UK is English or indeed has a London accent... That is true. Especially these days, even in London. But England completely dominates the politics of the UK. FWIIW this sounds English to me. They bought us the Magna Carta that made Kings subject to law, but they have never been free.
- alasdair_ 2y ago>but they have never been free. Different kinds of freedom. In London you can legally jaywalk naked while drinking a beer in front of a cop and know that even if you really pissed the cop off, you'd never get shot for it.
