So many subtle jokes only people from the UK would understand going speedily through four puzzled sets of ears.

One realises the accents are wildly exaggerated, but the hilarity is in recognising the basis is definitely there. But maybe the type of humour that won't travel well.

If you get something positive from it (i.e. enjoyment), there is no harm in watching it in 'ignorance' of course. I just loved the vacant stares during the Cilla Black reference in particular (which, tbf, even British Zoomers (and most Millennials) would likely have no clue about, either). Also... 7:43 - No, Jurgen, it's not just about English accents, is it? What were you watching for the previous 6 minutes? What did your colleague to the left introduce the reaction video as (all) about? I mean, he even started off with Scottish! Blimey, Moses! @@WideCuriosity

We have so many accents, they change by the mile.😂

Within 30 miles,in some parts of the Country, England can have 4 or 5 different accents. We are the size of Oregon and have over 50 accents so quite different from others. In that Geordie sequence, where Newcastle is, almost,on the border between England and Scotland, the references to "TOON" and "Shearer" were references to Newcastle United Football Clubs where the whole City is fanatical about Football and you can't even get a ticket for their AWAY games, at the other end of the Country.

I knew a lot of this wouldn’t mean much to you guys,our variety of accents is huge. Guess you had to be there.

You need to be from the UK to get this, the geordie one was so funny.

Kinda impressed how you can follow along cause even for us the accents are hard to follow sometimes

You want to hear a good yorkshire accent (Castleford) - check out "The most biased commentary". A local radio commentator on rugby league who really struggles to keep neutral!

The village I grew up in is an Ex-Mining village in southeast Kent in England. The village has its own unique accent as the first miners travelled from all around England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland to work there. I been asked many times, from where in the North of England are you from? The surrounding villages and hamlets have a traditional Kent accent, the closest village is maybe 1 mile/1.5km away across two fields, a short distance for a completely different accent. On a night out I started talking to a University professor in a pub and knew straight away where I grew up, he said his university had studied the accents from all the ex-mining Villages in the Kent coal fields because the accent was so different to the neighbouring villages. The mining villages were purposely hidden from view, the village was built away from the main roads and no main road went through the village like is the norm. This purposeful isolation is what kept the miners together as they couldn’t afford to rent or buy the housing outside of the mining village. This is how a mixing pot of accents produced the Aylesham accent.

America, there isn't a Zed/Zee in Scouser, it's pronounced "scow~sir" Two Esses.

Being Welsh[ish] I resemble Al Murray's remarks regarding my fellow countrymen.

It’s a cultural thing is understanding this

Try watching micky flanagan 'peeping joke.' Strong Cockney accent. Good luck understanding.

It was obvious from the stunned silence that it went over your heads! Not surprising, really.

The Kent on the left needs to foxtrot oscar - bring back the native American.

React to al Murray national anthems 😂

What's the American equivalent of this set do you think?

Yanks just don't get it. Al Murray is an extremely clever and knowledgeable person and very, very funny but you need to know what he's talking about. He's hilarious...!!!

Yanks just don't get our humour!

Only Boston’s different? Yeah, so Alabama’s accent is the same as New York 😂

Jimmy Carr gives a lesson on accents, funny as.......

What do you mean American accents are easier to understand. In some places, it sounds like they aren't even speaking English.

A little bit of local knowledge would help with this one.

Usa so backstds

These yanks are clueless as to whats going on.

They fail to understand the humour.
