      @cremullins9558 4 года назад +652

      Eh. Not really. At the time the revolutionaries still considered themselves British by nationality (Paul Revere never shouted "The British are coming!" for instance, what he actually said - not shouted, said - was "The Regulars are out.") It was more a middle finger to King George III and to the British Parliament than to Britain itself.

      @@Semiotichazey funnily enough a time accurate British accent actually sounds a lot more like a standard North American accent than the current British one. Because Britain continued to trade all over the world its accent changed(same with the New York accent) While the Americans typically didn’t have as much trade or interaction with other cultures. So the North American accent is actually closer to the British accent during the revolution and before. that’s why Shakespeare is largely agreed to sound better when read in an American accent as opposed to a British one

    full monologue:
    Wonderful. My name is Brennan Lee Mulligan, I’m a performer here at the theatre. I won’t be doing comedy for you tonight. I think we’ve seen a lot of wonderful comedy, and sometimes as Americans, I feel as though we can be a little ungrateful for the freedoms we enjoy. We enjoy the freedom to come here, to see live comedy, some of the funniest people in New York City, freedom to enjoy a show with our loved ones. So tonight, I will be reciting the Declaration of Independence. Thank you.
    As Brennan
    When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
    British (upper class)
    And to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them,
    British (Hobbit)
    A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should share the causes which impel them to the separation.
    British (Cockney)
    I’m not afraid of you fucking people. I’m not afraid, mate, go on! I’m not a man to be fucking trifled with!

    I remember seeing this like 5 or 4 years ago, having no idea who this guy is. It is now 2021 and Brennan has been all over my youtube feed, and this comes up.
    I can't believe it was him all these years.
