[khasab]

but why the fuck have they got that phoney american intro?

[CactusLocalTime]

Speaking of accents, how posh does Jimmy Carr sound when he says 'Utterly Butterly'?

[Gimtow]

I'm glad there is a discussion about this. I've been grumbling to myself about the American making is sound like 'John' for the past few episodes I've watched!

[elvee88]

wow jimmy's suit fits well....

[bu3asalli]

that's a tough job, a nurse. going to diff. clubs taking your shirt off! lmfao

[snowblind1985]

Sean "John" Lock's nurse joke slayed me!!!

[ApesAmongUs]

Every time Alan Carr speaks, I want to punch him in the throat. A 40 year smoker wheezing his last death rattle has a better speaking voice.

[freaky108]

who the eff is John Lock? HAHAHA

[Vault101Reject]

I love how the American accent (and yes,YOU are the ones with the accent so don't tell an Englishman how he's pronouncing the English language wrong) makes things sound odd. i mean,i'm sure he had "sean lock" on the piece of paper.

like if you call the xbox hotline. i swear she says "axe box"

@Vault101Reject the most fun is getting someone from Michigan to say hockey socks, cause you end up with a different sport entirely.

[wubs23]

@Vault101Reject dude.. you also got an accent. this is namely the definition: A characteristic pronunciation, especially:

a. One determined by the regional or social background of the speaker.

[crisis610]

@Vault101Reject everyone has an accent, and brits didnt invent english, it was a language germanic tribes spoker, they just so happened to migrate to britain and settle there...

[KittyKattyYukiLvr]

@Vault101Reject Spoken language is relative. :) Not all Americans speak the same way, as a side note.

[CornishGal2013]

@Vault101Reject Actually, technically, we both have dialects. Dialects are when two groups of people speak the same language (I know, some Englishmen and women would debate whether we Americans do speak the same language, but let's ignore that for now.) but the region they are from influences their inflection and pronunciation. Therefore, whether you're from Brixton or from Boston, you have a dialect.

[CorvusCorone68]

@Vault101Reject better than hex box

[CorvusCorone68]

@Vault101Reject there are times when i would like to take an axe to my Xbox

[drumzeppelin]

@Vault101Reject Look up the Great Vowel Shift. The way Americans speak English has older roots than the way the English speak it. There was a shift in vowel sounds several hundred years ago that happened in England that didn't effect the American colonies. So not only is your statement wrong, its actually the reverse.

[khasab]

@drumzeppelin erm.... when do you think america was colonised by Europeans? The Great Vowel Shift happened a long time before anyone got to America. Look up history

[GreekJR2]

@Vault101Reject Well if you think about it everyone has an accent. Americans have very different accents depending on where they are from in America and so do you Brits on your side of the pond.

[WhoaKaela]

@Vault101Reject English people most definitely have an accent. As do many Americans. But there is a neutral way of speaking. Pronouncing EVERY word correctly as they are in the Oxford English Dictionary. Enunciating. There are so few English speakers who do that. I think more Americans say words as they are in the dictionary on average. But as a culture both Brits and Americans have accents.

@freaky108

one of the most important and influential philosophers of the englightenment?

[freaky108]

haha. That would be John Locke though, wouldn't it, my educated friend.

[gloomyoutlook]

@freaky108

:P

sounds the same when voiced

[klapetekm]

@freaky108 SEAN...

[kevfulchester]

@freaky108 You never know, it could be one of those things where he's said to his mates... "I'll say John instead of Sean, but make it a bit in between, see if anyone notices..."

[freaky108]

@kevfulchester I agree. I also think that its impossible for someone whose job is to say people's names correctly to mess that up :D

[alvshill]

I just saw the back of my friends head.

[yaoinut]

Oh Alan, you cheeky but charming little sod.

[Nexius8]

Thats a tough job nursing

[dillonjbean]

cant be too hard women do it

[beatyourheartout91]

I love how fancily Chris O'Dowd is dressed :>

[ch0p86]

Its chris o dowd, not o down, legend

[gloomyoutlook]

Alan Carr is so funny. He's ridiculously camp, but he doesn't exploit it, which actually makes it endearing rather that irritating. I hate comics with cheap gimmicks.

[HoldingMyLastRook]

@gloomyoutlook The opposite of David Walliams in other words?

[spazzing]

:O what? But David Mitchell is supreme, you can't get him wrong!

[spazzing]

lol did the announcer say? John Lock tehe

[mpbx3003]

It's better than the episode of Would I Lie To You? where the announcer called David Mitchell, "Dramen."
