Yes Australian accents are horrible. New Zealand accents on the other hand are awesome.

they sound horrible to me, like a poor man's english accent, but with a little more twang. whenever I hear an aussie accent I cringe :x

Something tells me you've never been to Australia. I lived in Brisbane, Queensland for 4 months and has no problem whatsoever with the accent.

I typically only find our accent annoying if it has a very nasal sound to it. But thankfully not too many here sound that bad. I'm in a pretty populated rural area, so a lot of guys have the "blokey" sort of accent.

I keep reading your posts in the voice of the lead from TISM. It's better than Crocodile Dundee.

Hahaha, TISM.

An example of mine would probably be something along the lines of the Australian guy from house, but a little deeper.

The ironic thing here is that the majority of Americans haven't even heard a proper Australian accent. No, we don't sound like those ridiculous, stereotypical Australian characters (voiced by Americans, I might add) in the old 80s TV shows and commercials. Also, no, we actually don't sound like crocodile Dundee (Most of us at least). I find it rather insulting that you'd label our accent as 'Poor man's english' while you probably couldn't even distinguish my personal accent, and probably the majority of Australian's from an Englishman's accent. But just like you, our accents differ depending on our region, so I can't speak for us all. At the end of thye day, the Australian accent is no worse than the American, or any other English accent for that matter, in fact, i'd even say that Australian accents sound closer to original english than American's do.

Old thread is old. Anyway.....what world are you in? We do, in fact, in the US hear real Australians and their accents. Some are quite annoying. Some are okay. But really....believing we're isolated and never heard an Australian accent.:lol:
