<p>Why are there so many commercials that use british people? Why does a person get instant IQ points for sounding british/australian?</p>
<p>Why do Indian & Asian accents seem "dumber" than british accents?</p>
<p>Because British accents are just inherently cool.</p>
<p>And people like to think Asian accents sound dumber to make themselves feel better about their own dumbness.</p>
<p>That is because British Accents OWN! Think about the flipside what is it about an American Southern accent that sounds inherently unintelligent?</p>
<p>LOOOL i knooow,right?</p>
<p>British accents sound very sophisticated and attractive (on guys of course :P)</p>
<p>No offense but australian accents sound a bit uneducated</p>
<p>Idk about asian accents but I can do THE best impression of an Indian Accent (sounds authentic LOL…considering that I lived in ‘little India’ for most of my life hahahaha…</p>
<p>British Accents for the CHUNDER!</p>
<p>I have a slight southern accent, but it’s not strong…thank goodness…</p>
<p>I don’t think any accent is * best *, but I do find British, Australian, and Southern to be pretty hot in a guy :b</p>
<p>In my opinion,</p>
<p>Southern American English : No dialect American English :: Australian English : British English</p>
<p>No real reason for it, this is just what comes to mind for me</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oxymoron much?</p>
<p>oddly enough people with the most accent-less English (I mean they sound amazingly all-american, it’s perfect english but you would never be able to guess where they were from with how they spoke) that I know are from texas. and a couple have never even been to america period.</p>
<p>British accents sound sophisticated…</p>
<p>Asian/indian: either nerdy (b/c of stereotypes) or “dumber than British accent” b/c “speak better English, you’re in AMERICA!” effect…my opinion</p>
<p>They have an aura of sophistication, and give the ad some ethos. kind of lame actually.</p>
<p>Considering(no offense), most of the British people I know personally aren’t intelligent at all, yet they still think highly of themselves. -_-</p>
<p>Asian and Indian accents sound ridiculously FOB-by.</p>
<p>I think you all mean received pronunciation English accents - British covers a multitude of accents, Scottish, Irish, Welsh - my own Northern one too, which I don’t think sounds terribly sophisticated. </p>
<p>I notice how often in films the bad guy is English. All the Die Hards and many others since have had urbane English baddies.</p>
<p>i like bristol accents</p>
<p>English accents are extremely hot.</p>
<p>I like “propah” British accents when it suits the person. If it does then it can be very attractive. I dunno about other British accents. Scottish accents and Irish accents and Welsh accents are pretty hard to understand imo.</p>
<p>In India at least, British accents evoke the “colonial hangover” and make people think ap roduct is “classy”.</p>
<p>Because most people love british accents - take for instance the fact that whenever I hear a British accent I automatically focus on it</p>
