Hugh Laurie: the British accent vs the American
Loading...
Uploaded by Dronoman on Jul 27, 2008
The fantastically talented Hugh Laurie paid a house call to Ellen, and they played an exciting game of American slang versus English slang -- and the game was bloody brilliant!

@alpali388 not sure if trolling or just scumbag american...
English has absolutely nothing in common with the language that was spoken in America when they invaded it. The English language is a mix of different old European languages such as Germanic and Latin.
-
Brits ruined the language with their weird accent. If you do little research you'll find out that the English people borrowed the language from Americans when they occupied North America and they called it English after America's independence. It should be called American language, not English language.

Oh fuck you. It's people like you that show how we can't progress as a civilization because you can't even be civilized. Now hoe come we "retarded" Americans have so much power that we could squash you're little "Empire" in three days cause you people still think you rule the world, but sadly, that was about 200 years ago. So shutup you stuck up Brit and cheerio. (No offense to other British people, I've been to England and you're quite nice people!... Except for this douche...)
-
This just shows how much farther along on the evolutionary chain the British are than the retarded americans...
-
English, there are 3 countries in britain, he is not scottish, he is not welsh, he is not irish. He is English
