Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins aren't American. And Guttenburg was playing an American pretending to be from New Zealand. The point was it was supposed to sound bad.

Good list but we need goody goody gum drop ice cream the superior flavour

Cook Darth Vader some eggs

NZ is hands down my favorite English accent. As an American who studied German in Austria (no kangaroos), I can surprise native German speakers with my accent. I would never attempt to replicate a NZ accent, though. Not at all. I could listen to the most inane things in NZ and love it. VLDL!

he didnt even get a single jelly tip, man thats harsh as

No mention of the combo ea being ee bear as beer [little ees] verus beer (drink) as beeer [long ees] my English wife often picks on it.

Never said fush n chups

Electric fencing, tranquilizer guns, and Sea Legs boats were all made here

Instant coffee made it's first appearance in Invercargill New Zealand

He’s clearly Irish. Pretty awful attempt

We do actually have regional accents. General Nz accent, Rural nz accent, auckland accent, wellington accent, southland accent, and the te atatu accent.

The blurry 240p is... horrendous. Edit: looking more, it might even be 144p in parts.

The ANZAC accent in just the English working/lower class accent... drunk! That's what populated the placed and how they did it. Their dependency on alcohol, then and now, explains everything you need to know about the places. (Everything has to get done 4 times... just to get done once to a bare minimum standard). Just imagine, everyone was constantly that drunk... their children mimicked it and then it went from there. The poor lower class thinking from Europe has been reinforced (an not corrected) due to landing in a country with the wealth just laying on the ground, and passed from generation to generation... (as a demographic).

If you want to speak like a KIWI just say "Duhrrrrrrrrrr""

Dont worry we,ll all be forced to speak maori soon

just make noises without moving tongue or lips

That last US voice coach lady sounded more South African.

As a Kiwi working in the UK tourism industry, i get asked what part of Aus i come from on an almost daily basis. I don't get offended, or I'd be constantly offended.

My Australian wife got very confused waiting for a flight to Rotorua. They called for some passenger to come to the 'chicken counter' and she wondered why the airport employed someone to count chickens.

The rising intonation is more female than male. That wikiHow segment was total bullshit. I don't know who wrote that page but they're probably from Zimbabwe. I think miss Meryland had New Zealand mixed up with Australia as her fake accent was more a bad Aussie accent and nothing like a NZ accent at all. Even her description of doing the accent described doing an Aussie accent. Ed's not doing anything but a Brit faking it. Kelly not bad with single words but slipped into a little Aussie at times. The hostage guy, I think he needs another smoke of wacky backy.

A lot of this should be called NZ dialect, not slang - slang is something that comes and goes, whereas dialect is more constant over time. BUT... it's also typical NZ dialect to use the word "slang" in place of "dialect"!

The most noticeable gradient on accent I find in Nz is the influence of Maori on English. Greater in North Island it seems. I lived in the top of the south. I could tell which of my circle of friends came from the North Island ( actually broader Wellington region) because their pattern of speech had what I might describe as a more staccato quality to ithe delivery, as well as slight difference in prononciation, noticeable to me at least!

Don't think you have covered SH as in SHtreet for street. John Key would say that, and a significant number of NZers. You could easiliy find footage of the ex PM saying that.

Who really gives a shit?

Kiwi actors trying to voice an American accent ..2 Mars bars

'what's a hindu? lays iggs' old aussie joke

As a kiwi I’m horrified by these accents. Lol. Michael McIntyre does a fantastic version, and he’s a stand up comedian from UK, not a professional actor.

Kinglsy, I don’t remember the character claiming to be a be a New Zealander at any point. A Māori doesn’t have to be in NZ to still be a Māori.

Anthony hasn’t been a ‘sir’ in over a decade. He abdicated it when he became a US citizen

Is it just me or has the Maori language really taken off lately. Might give it a go. Yep the accent is definitely Aussie based.

I have noticed HRT is popular amongst air hosts / hostesses. Personally I am not a fan of it.. I do not encounter it in normal conversations..

no

I m from Gisborne and only role my "R's" when pronouncing Maori words lol

The accent in nth island is different to sth island

Whenever Simon pops up in this vid I can only hear the famous “Jacinda is a NOICE person”

With regards to Sir Anthony Hopkins accent in The Fastest Indian, I’ve heard from people that knew Burt Munro, that he did an excellent job with the accent. Particularly as he was portraying a real person. Burt’s accent may have been quite unique to him. That doesn’t mean to say that Sir Anthony did a so called “bad” or “odd” accent. It may sound odd to our Kiwi ears today, but he wasn’t trying to do a Kiwi accent, he was trying to do a real person’s accent. There’s quite a distinction in that.

Those ‘data’ pronunciations I dunno about. Iʻm pretty sure Americans would say ‘day-tah’, south England would say ‘dah-tah’ like us, but midlands & northern England might say ‘dat-tah’. Thatʻs just based on watching tv shows etc

53:38 that sounded like luna lovegood from Harry Potter. I think it was his intonation 😂

Not only do many Kiwis swallow the letter 'i', but also the letter 'l'. Leading to the classic pronunciation of milk as "muwk".

Holy shit that Billy T James joke in the intro is golden

My mother (boomer) spent most of my (gen X) childhood trying to correct my vowels.

Haha im from Gore in Southland and everyone takes the piss from me rolling my arrrrrrrrs:(((

Starting with the maori anthem was a non starter for me bro,yeah..nah.

12:37 Shots fired

On behalf of New Zealand I would just like to apologize to the world for cringe comedy.

I hear the term "rellies" used alot here in NZ, I think it depends on your area maybe? I work at paintball games and get called auntie from time to time lol

New Zealand is the best country ive ever been to... since i live there lol

don't forget about the French down south

Chur bro
