[crystal20ak]

he did pretty good :) her irish one soo funny.

ben; irish.. Wow  not how this game works LOL

[1987djamess]

I like that he mentioned Haiti for French.

[MrBradipo73]

they're not accents, they're impressions.

[MizShaiOnex18]

Nooooo! the last one read "Boston" right after Ben's buzzard went off!

[MastressOfDesaster]

what the.. does German accent sounds like THIS for THEM?

lol..

[EmilyK95]

I'm Irish and I can say she got that accent spot on! lol Congrats Ellen

[CuibusAlecs]

It's funny how most people think romanians ( transylvania is part of romania ) are russians :D.We speak 1 of the 5 latin languages, the accent is not even close to russian.

[lmbgemini]

Today Ellen decided to play a little game with Ellen to test his accents...

[96DisneyNerd]

Ok i'm irish and i have Never in my life went "dum-dum-dada-da-diddly-dee"

(well up till now at least)

[sshea1222]

I have to say that was a very strong australian accent

[BaLLa4LiFe34]

Ben Affleck at the end "Oprah flew people to France??" same thing I said lol

[TheCaddyWagon]

Oooh brilliant Irish accent! Brilliant.

[J0W3x]

YAY! French powaa ! :D

[fxxkfayce]

LOL before the buzz Ben Affleck..."Oprah flew people out to France? :o"

[Disaster00Beautiful]

so adorable...do you think these New England/boston boys are really from Boston? I am starting to wonder if Matt's name is actually Ben, Marks is actually Matt and Ben is actually Mark. That would be crazy but could be true. It's an Urban ledgend or true?

[tatalovejc]

LMFAO XD i love him

[txlinks]

I can't tell if this is racist or hilarious :/

[TheBumbleBunny]

''OH MAN!'' lol xD

[ninaisabella3]

hes really good at them haha

[ketusha55sandy]

she always does that Irish "digli digli digli" thing :D remember dance off with jennifer lopez?

[cookiesncream789]

"Oprah flew people to France?! 8|" LOL!

[peachie0keen]

Her Irish >>>>>> lol "dee-de-de-deee"

[LucaBilly26]

Transylvanian accent? what the hell!? It's Romanian accent not Transylvanian , cuz Transylvania is not a country but a region from Romania.

[imlost19]

@LucaBilly26 lol, i think its supposed to be transylvania as in the city where dracula lives...

[LucaBilly26]

@imlost19 LOL! Transylvania is not a city. It's a Region from Romania like the Middle West from USA. Did you get it now? And Dracula never existed, it is just a legend "attached" to a Ruler born in Valahia and called Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler.

[imlost19]

@LucaBilly26 thats great. But a translvanian accent in america, the country that this show takes place, refers to the accent that Dracula is portrayed to have in American Vampire stories. Like Van Helsing, Count Chocula, etc. No one in America interprets transylvania as a "Region from Romania". Americans just know it to mean "that place where dracula lives".

[LucaBilly26]

@imlost19 Then Americans should learn more about other countries history and culture. No offence:) The ones who put "Transylvanian accent" on Ellen's game card, obviously don't know much about European history and geography and they made a "little" mistake. I am an European and I coldn't help but notice it.:) In school we are required to learn the history of the entire world, including the U.S. in order to evoid this kind of things. And again there's no Dracula at least not in Transylvania.

[LucaBilly26]

@imlost19 ...as far as I know! Maybe he got the Visa and run/flew to the States, that explains how Ben knows" the Transylvanian accent".:) I am just kidding! Have a nice day!

[imlost19]

@LucaBilly26 heh yeah, well Americans are generally stupid when it comes to geography. But to be honest, I really didn't know what the whole translyvania/dracula thing was based on either, but then again, I personally hate vampire movies (lol twilight) (cept van helsing, which was decent). Either way, nice to learn something, even if it was through youtube comments, lol. Thanks for being civil :)

[LucaBilly26]

@imlost19 :) It's not that all Americans are stupid when it comes to geography or any other subject,(I didn't want to make it sound that way) it's just  that people in general, should do a little more research before saying stuff (especially on tv). It was nice to talk to you about all this. You were ok too.:)

[TheDevilsNJ]

amnn was looking forward to the bahston accent

[eggrollsarelife]

he looks like an asshole here.

[fayematsuyama]

I loooove American accent in French! :D

[leavetheherbitalone]

How can anyone say Germans aren't funny? Don't you remember David Hasselhoff eating on the floor? Don't you remember Hogan's Heroes? Don't you remember.....

Col. Wilhelm Klink: [annoyed] Colonel Hogan, I'm very busy this morning - dispatches from Berlin. What is it?

Col. Robert E. Hogan: I want to register a complaint on behalf of my men.

Col. Wilhelm Klink: [sarcastically] Really? A complaint. Not sufficient entertainment, perhaps.

Col. Robert E. Hogan: No, you're funny enough.

proof.

[TheNimbrod]

@leavetheherbitalone I think we germans have a good and funny humor but the problem is everyoneelse on the planet don't understand him because they don't understand german ^^

[87Stuttgart]

It's a pure cliche how he imitated the german accent. Believe me ;-) ! For everybody out there, just Hitler spoke like that to motivate or convince his nation for the war in his speeches.

[pauseTV]

@87Stuttgart .... agreed.

[JakeIsFine379]

I love how she just starts throwing out clues instead of doing an accent. hahaa

[enneads169]

habar n-are el ce-i ala accent ardelenesc

[stayAU]

Love Ben he's a total gentleman his mom must be so proud =)

[hjalmarBuoi]

Ellen could have just said Criky ! what an big gator there, o my

[kofylicious89]

Wow he's really good with accents.

[Kingtown]

"I married her. She was from there" and Ben took a look at "Australian". OMG =))

[Phantoro]

An Irish Pirate.

[nicolayy16]

I Liked His German Accent xD

[inzie23]

very talented man



[xxMissVanessax]

AHAHAHAH the italian one XDXD

"basta" is "stop it!"



[bugboys98]

"I'M MARRIED TO HER. SHE IS FROM THERE." xD Cracks me up every time.

[Trainwreck716]

We germans DON'T speak like this! :D

[phluirin1]

@Trainwreck716 of course Germans don't speak like that. However, for the point of this game, some accents are exaggerated a bit in order to be guessed. Besides, how you hear yourself speak, isn't always how everyone else hears it. You will find that most people will sound somewhat like Ben Affleck when imitating the German accent. It's not done so just to mock you, rather it pinpoints exactly who they are trying to be, if you get what I mean. :)

[stuggim]

@Trainwreck716 they always do some angry nazi kind of type...well that's still the stereotype german for them

[Nemesis000000]

@stuggim I think it's actually been shown that German's have less of a sense of humour than most but maybe that's just bullshit I heard

[Matriculon]

@Nemesis000000 dude that's totally bullshit. I am german and we laugh about the weirdest shit. I don't know why people think that, seriously. maybe it's because I'm 16, I talk shit all the time.

[Nemesis000000]

@Matriculon Yeah well we're talking about generally, not each individual. Most of the German's I know or know of seem to have less, or at least a very different sense of humour than me or anyone else I know. Maybe that's just it - different.

[stuggim]

@Nemesis000000 no that's totally right what you have heard...we also wear lederhosen all day. everbody listens to techno music and drives a mercedes. and we still loooove our adolf ! too bad he died over 60 years ago....

[Cineman513]

he is actually really good at this lol

[IamSakuraHearMeRoar]

read the description... notice that it is an epic fail!

[mandarinisgreek2me]

How the hell could they stop short of Boston? I'd of loved to hear her failed Boston!

[fade2fallenb4this]

I love how when Ellen guesses German, Ben answers YES in the German accent.

[cordy1987]

heeeey i'm german, but i don't sound like 0:58 :P

[ConsRoxMySox]

I think Ellen forgot the point of the game by the end, she'd given up on the accents entirely. "Oprah flew people there!"

And that Irish accent was shameful! lol

[AccentMC1]

When he did the southern accent he sounded like Peyton Manning. lol

[FeloniousDrunk]

@AccentMC1 I think he was going for McConaughey, haha. It sounded a lot like Damon's impression.

[Baseliner]

Hah. Wonder if he actually speaks German, since he did say "Ja es ist" (yes, it is) when she got it

[TheTheman45]

the russian one made me laugh.

[anton13031]

this such retarded television

[UofLCardFan90]

@anton13031 Yet you watched it. Thank you for adding to the view count.

[HeartFallenstar]

This amuses me :L ha ha

[iplaidinator]

the video description is wrong LMAO

[Dean814]

Ben <3 hahahaa. Love this.

[ajzasada]

"Oprah flew people to France?" Haha

[CaroMoseley]

I love when Ben does the German accent.

[Dotdotyay]

"French", and she's speaking french, does that mean french people can't speak english? xD

[doud23]

@Dotdotyay We can''t speak english yeah, But yet I think we can speak english better than you speak french ^^ can't we ?

[Dotdotyay]

@doud23 I'm french too so I totally agree x) american people are so funny when they try to speak french, I love their accent :')

[poundingonthedoor]

haha damn, he's good! Which I guess is to be expected, being an actor, but nonetheless. I would've loved to just hear him keep going lol. He seems so laid back and fun!

[uniqued]

ben is really good at accents!!

[Sazah14]

AWWW DANG! i wanted him to do the scottish one, i'm scottish :).

[redwardsw3gus]

damnit the last one was going to be boston!! i would of liked to see that

[monalisa7]

@redwardsw3gus

He speaks with a Boston accent during his interview with Jimmy Kimmel. :)

[Thunderflower367]

haha that was pretty impressive

[xiyanmie]

好口耐哦 haha he's cute!!!

[SeksiBebiGurlSari]

hahaha.. i live in germany but that isn´t the german accent xD very funny

[StefanSuender]

Haha do we germans actually speak like that? That's hilarious!!!

[sahradaad]

irsh ellen looooooooool

[calistyle95]

if she's married to an Australian...you think she'd know how to speak with that accent....THIS WAS SO FUNNY!!

[limetheleamer]

@calistyle95 wait so does portia de rossi actually have an accent?!

[VamptasticVamp]

This is so funny... :D
