Hurrah! My home city of Leeds mentioned in the best web series...Just recently discovered the guffaw-tastic "Man In The Box" and ploughing my way through all the episodes. And yes, Wetherby is just outside of Leeds!
i live in Horsforth, about 5 miles outside leeds. some older people would say the same things but definitely not with that funny accent/voice. it would sounds more like this watch?v=42sVSmkw29g
why are all of you english people hating on his fake english accent. thats the damn point. its fake but no one realizes that because we're dumb americans. for all you know, it's making fun of us.
because in all american films when there is an english person thy are always stuck up and snobby and have a stupid accent i ahve never heard anyone talk like that in my life i mean americans would get annoyed if they were only portrayed by fat, lazy, dumb and o.t..t tourists with stupid bright shirts but we dont most of the time
but thats really what america is made up of minus the bright shirts... at least thats how i feel. i mean everyone is a fatass, and no one has an iq over 120. its like being in a pool full of hippos.
Because when they say 80% of the population are idiots, they're not just singling out USA, they're talking global statistic. Sadly only Americans seem to be self-aware of their own idiocy.
if he says he is from near LEEDS and has THAT acccent then he is DEFINITELY FAKING. I go to school at the university of Leeds and trust me West Yorksire accents is NOTHING like that.!!!
We don't, it's a joke. Most Americans have never set foot on English turf...they just 'assume' things. But don't take it from me, I'm 50% British :D Not that anyone cares...
@codyofga that happens here in America too... but its little black kids who rob.... I can't imagine a french kid trying to rob me.. French kid wearing a beret hat: "American, you hand over your wallet" as he pulls out a switchblade. The American proceeds to pull out a bowie knife hidden in his trenchcoat. The french kid immediatly falls to his knees and yells" MERCI, MERCI".
According to Google Earth, Leeds to Wetherby is about a 60-minute commute using public transit via Scarcroft and East Keswick. I only lived in the UK for a month, the bassist in a UK band I met in Austin, and I was pissed the entire time.
After a massive, substance fuelled mitb marathon, I can honestly say that it is without a doubt the most hilarious show on the interwebs. I love you guys... so very much...
If he's from near Leeds, why is he talking like he grew up on a country estate, called his parents "Mummy" and "Father" and went to Eton? I'm not sure if that's part of the joke, but he should have a broad northern regional accent really.
a little diddy i made up to encourage productivity around the man in the box office............... i wont actually rape you, but i hope you got the point
I liked this video very much. I have never seen it before till now. Whether the accent was fake or not does not matter. It was just plain funny! It fits all the sterotypes of what we think about Brits. There are certain accents that are charming and some that are not. The Brit accent is definitely one of them :)
Do you know how long it takes to watch one episode when on the internet connections in Iraq? 20 minutes, That's a long time to wait to see a re-run of an episode that wasn't that funny the first time. Shame on you Mike.
Why do people say such stupid shit in the comments? It's suppose to sound fake. That's the point of the character. This guy is being over the top on purpose. Also this is an old episode. Do you know how I know? Because they fucking say it at the beginning.
I generally despise anyone with a fake accent. Especially americans with fake accents. If I have to listen to one more actress/singer/celebrity/host etc. move to the UK and fake an accent in a TV interview I will mail myself to London, storm the studios of the BBC, tear off BOTH my arms and beat them to death right there on the sofa.
Yes. BOTH my arms. The need to vent my wrath is so great that it defies logic.
PS. I typed this with my feet. So when the time comes, I'm ready. Very Ready
I thought so before when the video was original and I think so now... no way is that guy British and if he were British then he's lying about where he's from because no way is that accent from Leeds
