Speaking of German, I found Fassbender's faux British-German dialect in Inglourious Basterds fascinating. I could actually pick up on the elongated vowels of his fake British dialect in the German dialogue. I wasn't paying attention but I didn't notice the differences between Captain Munich and Captain Frankfurt.

(I feel 99% certain this entire reference will be lost on you)

This isn't particularly astounding, is it?
Not given that I just admitted that my opinion has no basis in rationality and that I am understanding of hating on American dialects, no.

To me Fassbender's Irish accent comes out ALL THE TIME. Even in 300 you could hear it. Annoying.

When Top Gear came up, I couldn't help thinking of 2 shows on MTV in the UK : Geordie Shores and The Valleys. Besides seeing some of the top-ranked scum of the UK, the accents, the phrases and the metaphors are hilarious.
