- 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.
