I also think the problem with the English is they are hetrosexuals.

3 Best accents in the world (imo) =

1. Australian (obviously

)
2. Scottish (F'n awesome. I'd love to go out with a Scottish gurrl!

)
3. South African (Srsly, they have a cool accent.)
3i. Jamaican (Epitomy of koolness....I couldn't leave them out

)

They talk like a bunch of girls. Passive? what the hell? It's like they have a stick up their asses. Can't understand a word they say. Them and their gay soft voices.

But I have to say, the most underrated accent is the italian accent.

I love how some foreigners rip on America for having such low quality humor. I'll put Futurama, South Park, The Daily Show, and one of the cleverest shows not yet mentioned here, Moral Oral up there with anything in terms of intelligent humor. The Simpsons used to be the golden standard and the 1st two seasons of Family Guy where brilliant. The show isn't as good as it used to be but I still think it gets bagged on more then it should.

Trying to promote American comedy as good without mentioning Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm? Fail.

Also, Mr Bean is timeless, I cant believe I forgot to mention it. Sure, it is a bit hit and miss at times, but there are just some scenes which are pure gold. The two in particular I'm think of are when his girlfriend makes very unsubtle finds at what she wants from him for Christmas by gesturing to a picture of a couple with a ring, and he gets her the picture rather than the ring, and upon receiving the picture, she starts crying, but then he pulls out a jewellery box, but instead of the ring, it's a picture hanger. Classic. I'm cracking up just describing it now. Also, the criminal line-up, where he has a bin put over each of their heads and pokes them with the stick to recognise their yelps. Brilliant.

What about the one where his car gets smashed? The events prior to it were absolute classic gold.

-They are driving on the left (Probably another tradition)
-They are the only ones supporting the US in Iraq war
-They have no passports EDIT: ID Card
-They have a different time zone
-Almost everything they do has something do to with one of another tradition.
-I once heard you can't enter a pub if you are under a certain age. But I'm not sure if that's true..
-You can't get there without a boat or a train. (Okay you can't help that, but it sill sucks)

Something else that pissed me off in England: the beer sucks.

And how in earth was it possible that you couldn't qualify for the EC with such a team? Shame on you.

Belgium sucks. England might not be perfect (tha knife crime and gang mentality tells us it isn't) but its better than your useless, neutral fucking country. Do me a favour,and don't come back here. Spend your euros at home,maybe on watching the Belgian national team who only qualified for a major tournament cos you co-hosted it.

**Sephiroth** · 07-05-2008, 08:32 AM

I only used Bean as an example since only Bean and Monty Python ever got popular here. Everything else like Blackadder, Red Dwarf, and even old Doctor Who (which for some reason, was played A LOT late at night on Sci-Fi channel in the 90's) is too obscure for most. It's only been until recently that PBS started show The Vicor of Dibley (which should be dropped for Fawlty Towers, I say).

Japan > Everything > Poland > France

Or Arrested Development and 30 Rock.

**CM_Jobber** · 07-05-2008, 08:58 AM

And another thing to the thread starter,we don't have too many traditions in this country because of the PC beauracrats from your no good country. And yes,we are the only ones who supported America in the war on terror,because we are the only decent nation in Europe. I'd like to see Belgium get invaded by another country and when you are PLEADING for our help,we can just laugh at you. Enjoy some red rep with your stella

You do realise that YOUR time is based on Greenich Mean Time (Greenich is in England, in case you hadn't worked it out)....

Umm.....So does every culture/society. That's what makes us all different.

Amen to that. The British simply can't make a proper beer.

**CM_Jobber** · 07-05-2008, 10:55 AM

Our beer sucks,but we still drink more stella than the belians and more fosters than you Aussies. We're proud of our drinking culture over here. Maybe mr Brussles can piss an moan about that,too

**Sticksy** · 07-05-2008, 11:02 AM

What the fuck? Why does every country assume that we like Fosters? No one drinks that fucking piss-water down here [/rant]

Okay i've calmed down a bit now, i'm pretty sure the Australians are more proud of pur drinking heritage

Copta will agree with me... i hope
