- They over do it, they like flatten all the vowels,
it's like, (moans) - mmhmm.
- It's just not good.
(Whooshes) (squeaks)
(soft music)
- I think that movies don't do
the Australian accent justice.
- I feel like I've lived here long enough
to pick up the Aussie accent you know,
when people are trying to do it and doing it bad.
- Yeah, people try and do Australian accents
and it just sounds like this weird hybrid
of like American, English, South African,
like I don't really know where you're from.
- It's definitely like just different degrees of Bogan.
- Sometimes we end thing in like a question
but it's not meant to be a question.
- A question. - oh.
- Sometimes we end thing in a question.
- Okay, I feel personally attacked right now.
(laughs)
- [Man] Especially regarding Australia's
plain packaging experiment.
- Like experiment,
like who do you think we are?
- [Man] Australia's plain packaging.
- When he's says Australian in an Australian accent.
- [Man] Government data.
- He says dat-a.
We would never say dat-a, we also flatten the T
and turn it into more of a D, so it's like da-da.
- Da-da.
- Like a babies first word.
- Da-da.
- Soften and elongate that A sounds, like aah.
Da-daaaa.
- What I'm quite baffled about with this video
is if it's a voiceover why didn't they just get
an Australian to do it?
- No.
- Nine hundred dollar-a-does.
Tobias, did you accept a,
- I love this clip so much.
- It was an emergency call.
- It was an emergency.
(laughs)
- This episode got more than just the accent wrong.
It got our culture wrong.
- It's like they got every typically Australian word
and just jammed it in here.
- I feel like this is where the term Dollar-e-does is born.
- Yeah but I've never used it, ever.
- You don't?
- No.
- I use it all the time.
- Yeah, I know, I laugh at you.
- I almost think it's so bad it's good.
And I think the best thing is, people
really do think we sound like this,
on the daily. - Yeah.
- Let's cut the BS and get real, why this pure.
- I didn't realize that was Robert Downey Jr for a second.
- Screwing all those people being worth,
- Is this a joke?
- I think some of it's pretty good.
- Like it's not awful.
- No.
- But it's so odd coming out of his mouth.
- Yeah.
- I feel like I need subtitles, I don't understand
a word he is saying.
To me it's just like (mumbles)
(beeps)
(mumbles)
(beeps)
- I think he's like, he's so iconicly like Tony Stark.
- So, - yeah 100%.
- Hearing a really really broad
and not fantastic Aussie accent
is chilling in a way. (laughs)
- Imagine if Iron Man was Australian
now that would be funny.
Yeah, no, I'm Iron Man.
- Okay, the Aussie accent is like indescribably
but I just no it's not that.
- Self, when he talks in his own person.
But if you give him a,
- Oh Benedict Cumberbatch so this is also really sad
because I, - he's very talented.
- Love him.
- Two people and.
- Oh no.
- [Both] The truth.
- Willing to expose those secrets.
(laughs)
- I'm not laughing at him, I'm like, it's great.
- Some of the most powerful and oppressive of regimes.
- It just sounds like his voice but muffled
like someone's put a hand over his mouth
and he's just speaking.
- It doesn't sound Australian - yeah, no.
- It doesn't sound Kiwi, it doesn't sound American
or British, I don't know,
I don't know what he's learned it on.
- Again, just get an Australian actor,
like the entire movie is about an Australian.
- This is really bad.
- I thought is was, (mumbles)
- This is really just destroying people I like today.
- I don't know, I don't think that that was too bad.
- God help me, the baby, my baby.
- Okay, this is iconic.
- Crediting me with a perfect murder.
(gasps)
- She sounds British.
She sounds British.
- More than anyone else, what happened was.
(laughs)
- You know what.
- I think it sounds South African.
- Why is she mumbling?
Do we mumble?
- A little bit.
(laughs)
- My baby daughter.
- My baby daughter, like that is good.
- It sounds like we're back during like the gold rush.
- Look, it's not, it's not terrible.
- Like she has a really, really good run
and then it's like, oh no, now I'm South African.
- It's made me think that the Australian accent
is probably a lot harder to nail
than it would seem for Australians.
- Right.
- I think maybe it'll be different if we saw someone
trying to do an Australian accent
that we hadn't seen in an iconic role before.
- I think at the end of the day,
we can just firmly conclude that Australian accents
are the best and no one can imitate them.
- I don't know.
- It's hard to imitate, you know, we're a thing of beauty.
Maybe you just have to leave us as we are.
