Joaquin Hernandez There are kinda two sets of English accents. The one that is recognised internationally is East, South-East, South. It's a blend of our most recent invaders so is relatively homogeneous. The rest of England have older accents and thus more distinct. Rhotic and non Rhotic. America has kinda the same split....ish
1 KARL Then you probably know that Dick Van Dyke is consistently voted as worst British accent in a movie ever by an American actor. And it was his performance in Mary Poppins.lol
I’m a Scouser so Americans will think I’m either Scottish or Irish, spoke to an American on Xbox and he thought i was speaking a different language lmaoo. I am Scots-Irish ethnically but that’s besides the point.
superkoo5 the fact he says “right” after everything he says is purely American. We don’t do that in the U.K. it’s like he’s constantly asking if you agree with him! Very Americanised

It’s weird how ppl are mocked and praised for wearing glasses. And I don’t mean this in a bad way, but glasses are needed for poor eyesight. So why would it be seen as something noteworthy?
Lol over xmas day my brother told me that he believes that a part of my poker face or gesture of mischief (we were playing a card game) is adjusting my glasses.
This guy doesn't describe the UK I know lol. Yes, we see a lot of American culture and we converse with Americans all the time online but I wouldn't say that we feel American. I think that British and American people just share a common culture in general and so we understand each other. The same is true of any country in the Anglosphere. We share a common tongue and common ideals and so we just get along, but I for one feel more British in those moments of speaking to Americans.
I think part of the point was that British people think about Americans all the time. British culture is consumed with American media, politics, comparing the limited military might of Britain to the US, and making fun of the perceived racism and negative attributes of America. Americans barely give any thought to British culture, they don't know anything of British celebrities, they don't watch British shows, and nobody cares about the insanity going on in British politics. I do believe Americans still feel solidarity with the British in some way, but Britain is like a bad friend that comes to your house parties, but talks shit about the place. I think Americans have a hard time with this since many don't realize that the British talk quite a lot of shit about Britain as well, and they still love their lands.
@@funkingitup1805 I agree with the fact that Britain's have a lot of American pop culture as part of their own. There is just a lot more output coming from the US but I disagree with the fact that it isn't two way. Think about the biggest cultural changes of the current century. The new Atheist movement had a lot of British influence and even pop culture does spill over to America . Liz Hurley, Kate winslet, Kate bekinsale, piers Morgan, Simon cowell. I could go on and on. Also British slang has been adopted by American youth such as wanker, banter and fam. This guy has a weird view of the UK / US relationship that I just found bizarre.
Ricky Payne id say it’s pretty one way nowadays. Those examples and older ones are really the only prevalent figures anyone here could reference. The UK style of rap, pop, and movies haven’t penetrated the younger generations nearly at all. We know big Shaq 2+2=4 quick mafs and ya your guys accents. We’re very self absorbed due to how much we output and how much of a preference we’ve gotten to consuming only our media. UK media other than a handful of shows is just as foreign as many other countries to us. I don’t speak for all Americans but I’d say I have a decent understanding of the demographics. Older conservatives aren’t subscribing to anything British other than maybe the Beatles and that’s a large portion of the country at the moment.
And many young conservatives which again makes up a large portion of people using media have a very strange view in some cases even a distaste for the very distant past. It’s strange here everybody has their opinions and most are very dogmatic towards our culture. We’re a melting pot that is completely enamored with the mixed culture it has created.
There is no British accent. What this phrase refers to is Received Pronunciation, aka BBC English or the Queen’s English. I’m British and like most Brits I sound nothing like that.
You are right, but in the context of this video, there is not really a need to point this out. Almost no country has just one accent. Is there a single American accent? It is a generalization and sometimes generalizations are fine.... Would you argue that IN GENERAL British accents are perceived to be more posh than American accents? Heck I even Multicultural London English sounds more posh than you might realize. Compare Multicultural London English to the street accents in America! Even your so called less prestigious sounding citizens sound posh in a way! Even their slangs are PROPER (double entendre intended). The Queens English discussion is not really the whole story, it is much bigger than that. There are some accents like cockney, geordie or scouser accent that don't sound that posh to me, but to be honest most English or British accents can be perceived as elegant.
TopeA8 aside from the fact that Received Pronunciation is not an accent - everyone who speaks it had to learn it - Orwell said that the English are branded on the tongue at birth and he’s correct. You can immediately locate the hometown or city of Englishman fairly accurately when he speaks and class information is loaded into our speech patterns. The term ‘British accent’ is worthless. It says less than nothing.
@@sourcescience Britain is not unique in this regard. Hence why I say that a generalisation can me made. Do you think there is a single American accent or a single Chinese accent. Heck I'm from Nigeria and let me guess you would think there is a single Nigerian accent right? Yes Nigeria's current president and it's previous president have two completely different accents. But the fact that I'm guessing you would assume that Britain is unique in this regard suggests to me that you already acknowledge that generalisations.can me made and having listened to all manner of British people speak...yes you still haven't convinced me that British people do not sound more posh..than Americans..as a monolith...and this is coming from someone who is well aware that there are even accents in America that sound British. It just detracts from the point.
@@sourcescience ok I think I see your point now We are arguing about intonation vs articulation. But I am not entirely sure how much the elegance that I sense in the typical British accent is due to articulation from lets say received pronunciation. And I say this because 9/10 British people sound elegant to some extent to me..relative to english speakers in general. Not to appear to form a strawman argument, but unless most British people are employing some common form of articulation...it is plausible that the accents themselves are part of the perception. I listen to grime music and even your so called people from the ends put together quite elegant sentences and articulate themselves reasonably well. Is this received pronunciation also?

When joe mentioned about hes friend Jamie being at hes house I bet jamie in the studio was nodding away with a semi till he corrected him and said not this jamie hahah joe the heartbreaker
But it's a way of explaining it in context that can be understood by Joe and American listeners.. us Brits already know that Americans call it a subway and in the interest of keeping the conversation flowing he changed the word :) We all do it when we are trying to explain things in a context the other person would understand without question.
@Rowan Melton To be fair the Glasgow Subway, the third oldest in the world, began life in 1896 as the Glasgow District Subway. It was renamed to the Glasgow Underground in 1936, and then renamed again to the Glasgow Subway in 2003.
@Rowan Melton I know, but my point was that Subway is not necessarily an American term, as it has been used in one part of Britain for more than a century, before there was any metro system in the USA. I know what you’re saying though, the London Underground shouldn’t be called the London Subway. It sounds awful.
I know I'm the 80th person to comment this but we don't all talk like this in Britain, you can literally drive 10 miles from town to town and you'll hear a completely different accent with its own dialect.
I’m from London and not only have I never ever heard anyone speak like him a day in my life but I also can’t relate to anything he says about the UK and US.. I think he’s bent too
English accent. Even then there's so many variants in England alone. Let alone Wales, Scotland and Ireland. I hate it when other countries hear a posh English accent and brand it British, they're technically not wrong, but it's too broad to label it that.
Here in Dublin-Ireland we say "what's your story" all the time but we just phrase it differently, so basically it's "What's the story?" or even just "Story?" Now use Conor McGregor's accent to say them. You nailed it if you said "Staaree?" for the latter.
Yeah Johann has clearly never spent any time with any “normal” Scottish folk. I work in retail and get life stories alongside questions about the location of the bread.
in Liverpool here we have a strange accent. its been influenced by the Irish, southerners, scots, etc. but drive for an hour to the east and you get to a village that has its own accent, and the village half a mile away has a different accent to them. it's amazing
silk man You must be from Bradford or Brum then yeah? Even then, he’s just well spoken and quite common, not a toff at all. Suggest expanding your circle a bit.
I’ve never felt American as a British person. Just because we grew up with some aspects of American culture via the media, never made me feel like I could “relate”. Either it’s just him, or I’ve just got a greater insight to the fact that not all British folk are the same, so likewise it’s the same with American. Hence, I relate to those I grew up with or demographics I may share cultural backgrounds with in the UK and the US, rather than all Americans. Peace.
Went to Kentucky in the US to visit my long distance girlfriend and everyone was just blown away by my accent. Was so strange as I don’t really like attention too much because I’m kind of awkward. But like every person that served me in a restaurant, or just spoke to me in the street was like woah where are you from. I guess Kentucky doesn’t get too many Englishman visit them. Not so much a tourist destination like Florida or New York
@harryeyre1322 most of the south is not posh. Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset(where I'm from), Gloucestershire, Wiltshire are all very different forms of West Country accent for example. The eastern half of the south are mostly Estuary accents which culminate in the London accent. This chap has a relatively modern accent known as RP or BBC English.
"What's your story?" Is a great way to get to know someone, and it's a great way to get someone to close off completely. It would sound sarcastic/confrontational to say in my country, kind of like "so what's with YOU?". You can ask a bunch of less intrusive questions that would eventually amount to the same thing, but you'd take it a bit slower and get to know the basics first, not just immediately deep dive into a stranger's soul.
1) there’s no such thing as a british accent 2) to define an English accent is impossible due to there being a different accent in almost every county and or city
MCFC_BVB 75 could u not say that about any country really tho cos everywhere ha different accents within one country but I kinda get u bout the British accent not really being a thing cos technically that means the accent encompasses English Scottish and Welsh along wiv all their different sub accents which should just sound like aids tbh
I feel British people have a good insight to American life where as I think Americans perceive us as that we sip tea all day and we talk like the queen. Anyone relate ?
Im 35 years "young" and i have lived in england , up and down the country all my life , and im telling you joe rogan , for a fact , " what's your story"? is used all the time to greet people and learn what they are about , its friendly , and can be non friendly depending on how you say it . Its not complicated , if theyre angry , theres a good chance its not friendly and if they're laid back and being nice then take it as friendly .simple
That two way mirror analogy is brilliant, I've tried explaining the 'insular' culture of the US, and to an extent Canada, while living in Toronto. I also feel being Scottish this is somewhat doubled as England often has a blind spot about the other parts of the UK with regards to the media. "The greatest gift that God could gi'e us, to see oorselvesas other's see us."
This accent is only heard among West Londoners, and the privately-educated. When I close my eyes, his intonation is something I've only heard among white gay men from that posh background. Mr Hari is also forcing Americanisms into his speech; although there *are* Americanisations in UK-speech, his use of them isn't authentic-sounding. No-one actually speaks in that hodge-podge way.
RP is a generic accent spread across the whole UK among affluent areas. You can’t even call it a West London accent because the only places in West that you’re likely to hear a lot of RP accents is areas like Kensington, Chelsea and Richmond
This guy's accent is so messed up. He uses "like" way too much for a man of his age and has adopted the American inflection where every statement becomes a question.
Just an FYI: Britain has also been taken over by reality TV. You just have to see the permeation of a certain 'GC' across all our media. I'll be here forever if I start - but on the main channels we have: The Only Way Is Essex, Ex On The Beach, Love Island, Made In Chelsea, Shipwrecked, The Bachelor (UK), Geordie Shore, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, The Circle, Celebs Go Dating, Hunted, The Island,. That doesn't include the shows that have some sort of 'competition' element to them, such as, The X Factor etc. British television is shite and we keep on making stupid people famous too. So America and Britain are in it together on that one!
I enjoy having a strong Blackcountry accent. Not only am I keeping it alive but because of popular culture people assume you're an idiot if you have it. That gives me an advantage over them because I'm anything but.

*around We just like saying the full words LOL I like the British slang though because its so unrelated to ours
@Ewolf5150 fuckin a right
on tv its so familiar and you dont bat an eyelid, yet in real life an american accent sounds so foriegn, then you realise how british you are
I'm from Sheffield England this guy sounds over the top posh to me..accents in england really vary
Yeah, I'm from Leicestershire. This guy sounds privately educated.
I'm from North Tyneside, Newcastle no one sounds like this up here
Scousers sound posh to you, probably.
I’m from Yorkshire. I sound nowt like him. I’m not going to go to Arizona they wouldn’t have a scooby.

Joe “not this friend Jamie, another friend Jamie” Rogan
0:52 Joe, there are only five states where it's illegal to openly carry a handgun.
When joe mentioned about hes friend Jamie being at hes house I bet jamie in the studio was nodding away with a semi till he corrected him and said not this jamie hahah joe the heartbreaker
with a semi🤣🤣👍
Joe is cheating on Jamie with another Jamie
haha as a british person him saying subway triggers me
Why
But it's a way of explaining it in context that can be understood by Joe and American listeners.. us Brits already know that Americans call it a subway and in the interest of keeping the conversation flowing he changed the word :)
We all do it when we are trying to explain things in a context the other person would understand without question.
@Rowan Melton To be fair the Glasgow Subway, the third oldest in the world, began life in 1896 as the Glasgow District Subway. It was renamed to the Glasgow Underground in 1936, and then renamed again to the Glasgow Subway in 2003.
@Rowan Melton I know, but my point was that Subway is not necessarily an American term, as it has been used in one part of Britain for more than a century, before there was any metro system in the USA.
I know what you’re saying though, the London Underground shouldn’t be called the London Subway. It sounds awful.
It’s the UNDERGROUNDDDDDD
2:17 - he just called Jamie his friend, how times have changed - this makes me so irrationally happy
Echo Rebound explain pls
Want to see the explanation
He’s still a bit mean to him sometimes
odneme There are lots of clips of him kinda being mean to him - just search something along the lines of ‘Joe Rogan being mean to Jamie’
Jamie is his employee, not his friend. Joe's just being nice.
Whats your story = “justify yourself so i can judge you, As i’m arrogantly important enough to question your existence”

I feel uncomfortable him speaking on behalf of us brits, almost no one speaks like him and I can imagine no brits are like him either.
Yorkshire here, and yes, I agree.
@@frazerguest2864 Yorkshire lad mesen pal
You northerners, we brits are as disconnected as the Americans are. Coming from the south, this guy is what I would consider a typical brit.
As a Welshman, he sounds pretty typically English to me.
Yea this guy is like a new age british person
Hes a bit gay a bit soft hes like a techno brit hardly. Real person if you ask me
Oddly I've always viewed Americans as looking like they are all living in a movie. It's like movies have created a lot of americas persona and culture

@@jackmclaughlin9739 no, I'm due to go New York in March, got a few relatives and friends in America.
How I feel too, it just feels like everyone is acting 😂 would love to visit though
Same here
As a spanish speaker i get what you are saying
Me: “do you have an accent?”
Him: “No, this is how things sound when they’re pronounced properly.”
I know I'm the 80th person to comment this but we don't all talk like this in Britain, you can literally drive 10 miles from town to town and you'll hear a completely different accent with its own dialect.
I’m from London and not only have I never ever heard anyone speak like him a day in my life but I also can’t relate to anything he says about the UK and US.. I think he’s bent too

'what's the story' or just 'story' is ironically probably one of the most heard things in Ireland
Tobo McLukewarm
Lots of Irish moved to the USA, so maybe it comes from that influence.
Was thinking the same thing, if you actually started telling your life story you'd probably get told to fuck off though haha
that mirror analogy is really accurate
Yeah, it’s a good analogy. I’m keeping that one
I'm from the Midlands in England and when I went to Canada I had to pronounce my words more clear to be understood
You can tell that the British guy’s been in the US for a while; he speaks with inflection.
And the store he mentions was Fortnum & Masons.
English accent. Even then there's so many variants in England alone. Let alone Wales, Scotland and Ireland. I hate it when other countries hear a posh English accent and brand it British, they're technically not wrong, but it's too broad to label it that.
Ireland is not part of England it's an independent Republic. You may mean Northern Ireland which is part of the UK.
Here in Dublin-Ireland we say "what's your story" all the time but we just phrase it differently, so basically it's "What's the story?" or even just "Story?" Now use Conor McGregor's accent to say them. You nailed it if you said "Staaree?" for the latter.
I'm glad Joe's had other British people on the pod cast that better represent the way and speed with which we talk. This fellas done a bag 😂
there’s no where else in the world with such diverse accents in such a small space.
So I'm guessing his hand gestures have a thick Swiss accent?
Joe ‘ not this friend jamie ‘ Rogan
Michael bisping is the closest British man to Joe who represents most of us as a whole
The police mirror phrase was one of the best things I’ve ever heard
It's so awesome listening to someome that has an opinion and knows why he has it.
Watch "The Only Way Is Essex" and then watch "Geordie Shore" no more needs saying
I also have a bit difficulty understanding the British Accent. But that's exactly what makes it so alluring... Lol
It's pretty easy compared to County Kerry in Ireland (this is English language);- ruclips.net/video/jsUvcjk8J5c/видео.html

Which British accent? there's hundresd of them, there's a different accent every 10 miles!

Yeah Johann has clearly never spent any time with any “normal” Scottish folk. I work in retail and get life stories alongside questions about the location of the bread.
in Liverpool here we have a strange accent. its been influenced by the Irish, southerners, scots, etc. but drive for an hour to the east and you get to a village that has its own accent, and the village half a mile away has a different accent to them. it's amazing
This guy sounds literally like none of us
Joe “Phoenix is amazing” Rogan.
Lived in England 30 years and I've ive probably heard this posh accent 10times.hardly anyone talks like him here,he's a proper self indulged toff
I suggest you watch the whole interview, you wouldn't be so rude about him. It's one of the best JE podcasts
@@Morrisopolous I suggest you read about his past career, you might be more rude about him. He's a complete charlatan.
You must have wax in your head mate.
silk man You must be from Bradford or Brum then yeah? Even then, he’s just well spoken and quite common, not a toff at all. Suggest expanding your circle a bit.
I'm not from Bradford our Brum.😂thanks for you suggestion but i suggest you should stop sniffing sausage
I feel like this British guy doesn’t really know much about Britain🤔
Typical southerners
He’s definitely a coddled upper middle class posh boy
I’ve never felt American as a British person.
Just because we grew up with some aspects of American culture via the media, never made me feel like I could “relate”.
Either it’s just him, or I’ve just got a greater insight to the fact that not all British folk are the same, so likewise it’s the same with American. Hence, I relate to those I grew up with or demographics I may share cultural backgrounds with in the UK and the US, rather than all Americans.
Peace.
I'm 30 and never left the UK and I have never heard anyone that sounds like him
Went to Kentucky in the US to visit my long distance girlfriend and everyone was just blown away by my accent. Was so strange as I don’t really like attention too much because I’m kind of awkward. But like every person that served me in a restaurant, or just spoke to me in the street was like woah where are you from. I guess Kentucky doesn’t get too many Englishman visit them. Not so much a tourist destination like Florida or New York

Joe "I wish I'd brought an apple to my English accent teacher" Rogan
@harryeyre1322 most of the south is not posh. Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset(where I'm from), Gloucestershire, Wiltshire are all very different forms of West Country accent for example. The eastern half of the south are mostly Estuary accents which culminate in the London accent. This chap has a relatively modern accent known as RP or BBC English.
"What's your story?" Is a great way to get to know someone, and it's a great way to get someone to close off completely. It would sound sarcastic/confrontational to say in my country, kind of like "so what's with YOU?". You can ask a bunch of less intrusive questions that would eventually amount to the same thing, but you'd take it a bit slower and get to know the basics first, not just immediately deep dive into a stranger's soul.
1) there’s no such thing as a british accent 2) to define an English accent is impossible due to there being a different accent in almost every county and or city
a British accent is an accent that is British
He didn't specify which British accent, so it encompases all of them.
Jesus you're so fucking intelligent , i came a little just reading this
And since your profile pic is Manchester City, I will guess you have an Essex accent 😂
MCFC_BVB 75 could u not say that about any country really tho cos everywhere ha different accents within one country but I kinda get u bout the British accent not really being a thing cos technically that means the accent encompasses English Scottish and Welsh along wiv all their different sub accents which should just sound like aids tbh
As a scouser all I get is “are you Irish”

People tell each other their stories in England exclusively in group therapy and nowhere else.
Im 35 years "young" and i have lived in england , up and down the country all my life , and im telling you joe rogan , for a fact , " what's your story"? is used all the time to greet people and learn what they are about , its friendly , and can be non friendly depending on how you say it . Its not complicated , if theyre angry , theres a good chance its not friendly and if they're laid back and being nice then take it as friendly .simple
That two way mirror analogy is brilliant, I've tried explaining the 'insular' culture of the US, and to an extent Canada, while living in Toronto. I also feel being Scottish this is somewhat doubled as England often has a blind spot about the other parts of the UK with regards to the media.
"The greatest gift that God could gi'e us, to see oorselvesas other's see us."
The Scots are more internationalist, plus England pillaged your asses so it's kind of a nationalism without the imperialist mentality
“Benefits of having a posh public school boy accent”
It's a sad day when it's only your accent that appeals to someone.
This accent is only heard among West Londoners, and the privately-educated. When I close my eyes, his intonation is something I've only heard among white gay men from that posh background. Mr Hari is also forcing Americanisms into his speech; although there *are* Americanisations in UK-speech, his use of them isn't authentic-sounding. No-one actually speaks in that hodge-podge way.
RP is a generic accent spread across the whole UK among affluent areas. You can’t even call it a West London accent because the only places in West that you’re likely to hear a lot of RP accents is areas like Kensington, Chelsea and Richmond
I couldn't read the title, so I clicked and I'm staying, mate.(I wish everyone a happy new year!)
The biggest difference between Britons and Americans is our opinion on James Corden.
This guy's accent is so messed up. He uses "like" way too much for a man of his age and has adopted the American inflection where every statement becomes a question.
all these cunts who move to the states do it
Every statement becomes a question lol, British people ends every sentence with “Is it?”

Just an FYI: Britain has also been taken over by reality TV. You just have to see the permeation of a certain 'GC' across all our media.
I'll be here forever if I start - but on the main channels we have: The Only Way Is Essex, Ex On The Beach, Love Island, Made In Chelsea, Shipwrecked, The Bachelor (UK), Geordie Shore, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, The Circle, Celebs Go Dating, Hunted, The Island,.
That doesn't include the shows that have some sort of 'competition' element to them, such as, The X Factor etc.
British television is shite and we keep on making stupid people famous too. So America and Britain are in it together on that one!
It's so hard not to unload a huge rant about love island etc. I've stopped watching British TV... And socialising with our women 😂

I enjoy having a strong Blackcountry accent. Not only am I keeping it alive but because of popular culture people assume you're an idiot if you have it. That gives me an advantage over them because I'm anything but.
