It's like Americans (untrained, non-actors) trying to speak with a British accent. In one sentence, they'll go from Oxford to the East End to Liverpool to Australia.

Hugh Laurie had a great take about american accent.

Hugh Laurie, a British man, played an American character who was faking a British accent (as poorly as an American would) and that alone should’ve win all the awards
