    Don't, man.... just don't. You have no idea how deep my loathing for DVD goes. You're on thin ice.

    There are lots of terrible attempts at accents in fiction, but I can't be bothered to try to come up with the worst. It's like trying to come up with the worst acting performance ever, there are just too many examples to narrow down. Nicholson in The Departed and Voight in Anaconda came to mind, though I know there are probably worse. Voight's is hilarious, though.

    As for real accents....I honestly can't think of a single accent I really dislike, I don't dislike any enough to label them the worst. I'm actually pretty fond of most accents, I don't mind them at all, and I often find them sexy.

    I fooled around a bit with an English woman who was legitimately very trashy, her speech was as thick as her accent.....but for some reason I found her accent so sexy, in the dirtiest, trashiest sense.

    ΓΌ - umlaut u, you are the worst ever. I've been speaking German for three decades, and I still can't quite do it right.

    A few people have done passable Australian accents, such as Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline in Dangerous Creatures. But the only really good one I've heard is Stephen Fry.

    Now I really, really want to watch Men in Tights.

    Nope. Coventry, technically, but the accent is pretty close. I get all defensive.

    Ukrainian Russian by way of Edinburgh. Chose the clip based upon the irony of the title.

    Geordie isn't bad per se, but it can sometimes be so impenetrable I am often embarrassed when holding a conversation with a speaker. Sorry? Sorry? Pardon? For my money worse than a thick Yorkshire accent.

    Sean Connery has a great accent, it's just terrible for many of the parts he played (Russian Submarine Captain, Irish-American Cop, Arab Rebel Leader etc). At least he didn't try & do other accents badly, best just to stick with what you have.

    Brummie is pretty bad, Geordie too. I'm not that familiar with US accents, but the kind Cletus from the Simpsons has is horrible I think. And the really nazal American ones.

    Agreed. Yorkshire at least has a lilt about it, so you can enjoy it even if you can't understand it! :p

    I have a lot of relatives from Newcastle so I grew up with the accent. Didn't realise people found it difficult to understand until recently.
