Worst. Accent. Ever.
This topic was mentioned last night (by me!) so I thought I'd take the bull by the horns and start the topic myself . I'm sure it's been done before, but it's probably due for a new round of posts...
Julia Roberts' Irish accent in Michael Collins was bad. Kevin Pollack's Russian (or whatever the heck that was supposed to be) in The Whole Nine Yards was awful. Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise both need mentions, for their "failed" German accents...
Then again, what's worse? A bad accent attempt, or not even bothering to try at all, like Sean Connery in Hunt For Red October?
OK, let's hear it! More marvelously bad accents, please!

Remember that time Dave bumped the "worst accent" thread, even though there was an apparent lack of interest?
Remember? Yeah, that was a long time ago.... ah, good times, good times...

His mangling of a cockney accent is painful to hear.

It's almost endearing, it's so bad.
Face it, DVD (Dick Van Dyke) is adorable.

almost any movie based in new orleans they always get the accent wrong and it comes out sounding cajun.
There is a New Orleans city accent....associated with downtown New Orleans, particularly with the German and Irish Third Ward, that is hard to distinguish from the accent of Hoboken, Jersey City and Astoria, Long Island, where the Al Smith inflection, extinct in Manhattan, has taken refuge. The reason as you might expect, is that the same stocks that brought the accent to Manhattan imposed it on New Orleans.

i've only seen bits and pieces of true blood. and i'm not sure where the fictional town of bon temps is supposed to be located, but the more west you go, towards lafayette etc...the more cajun the accents become. the further north you go the accents become a little twangy.
