I've noticed one thing about Americans, and it's that you're bad at differentiating between non-North American English accents. The rest of us Anglophones easily know the difference between all of our respective accents. The only ones we struggle with are American and Canadian, we can't tell the difference between them. We can even tell apart Jamaican and Barbadian or Guyanese and Trinidadian, but American and Canadian sound exactly the same to us.

But in any case, that man is obviously South African. Listen to how his vowel sounds have all shifted from English, as in British English, or real English.

I'll do a transcript for you. He says:

Thet's the only crocodile in Seth Efreca, that I can ectuelly sit on his beck. It's got a sixti centemetre baat erea, and a sixti-faav centemetre hid

Look at all that vowel shifting. Those aren't spelling mistakes. I'm not a retard. I can spell. Im just writing down the vowels exactly as he pronounces them.

Vowel shifting is unique to the Scottish, South African/Zimbabwean, and New Zealander accents. It isn't a feature of the Australian, English, Irish, or Welsh accents.

What? Not even American accents all sound the same, not to mention varying Canadian accents.

Good shyt. Bit that motherfukker so hard he started meowing :laff:


Humans inability to leave animals the fukk alone is one of the worst things about our species. Ain't no need for a grown man to be sitting on top of any creature for the entertainment of other fukking ghouls that wanna snap pictures :camby:
