00:00Now, before you say anything, this sketch was actually based on truth.

00:03It's actually called foreign accent syndrome.

00:05Apparently people have had strokes and they've woken up with a different accent.

00:08There was actually a Geordie woman who woke up with a Jamaican accent.

00:12It's absolutely true.

00:13She woke up and they said, how are you feeling?

00:15She went, easy, no.

00:18And when she heard her accent, she goes, how do you feel?

00:20She goes, I'm totally devastated.

00:24There's a very clear differentiation between having a condition and simply being a ponce.

00:30There are some people who put on accents and they're very poncy.

00:32You know, there are some people who think it's very cool to pronounce anything ethnic with the correct accent.

00:37You know, you see people at theater festivals saying, oh yes, I went to see a great French theater company called Le Théâtre de la Mimi de Paris.

00:45Very good.

00:46And what's that Spanish dance company, the Spanish thing, the dance thing from Spain, there's something in my tongue, the, um, yeah, yeah, the Oye Mirio Caracosali, California,

00:53because it's a dance workshop from Madrid.

00:59It's amazing.

01:01And what's that Nigerian theater company?

01:05The Oye Mirio Caracosali, what is going on?

01:08I don't believe it.

01:11It's a company.

01:12Uh-oh.

01:14Lagos, really experimental.

01:16Now, if anybody wants to learn a Nigerian accent, it's very simple.

01:20Just go into your spam emails and just click one on it.

01:22Just read it.

01:23He goes, my name is Chief Makinde.

01:25I want to transfer nine million dollars into your private account.

01:31Would you like a bigger penis?

01:33I found shifting accent for me is very useful, especially if plumbers come round.

01:40If plumbers come round, I would say, oh, mate, you're a cat of tea, mate.

01:43You're a cat of tea, mate.

01:45Slash the cake, mate.

01:46Slash the cake, mate.

01:47Come on, be skits, eh.

01:48Come on, be skits, eh.

01:50Do you want some, mate, mate?

01:53And my wife says, what the hell are you doing?

01:57I'm trying to blend in.

01:59If they find out we're middle class, they might rip us off, you know?

02:02And be like them, and they give us a proper price.

02:05Of course, I don't have to do that anymore, because when a plumber comes round, I just say,

02:09Dzień dobry, Rozumiem Popolski.

02:20Which is actually Polish for, would you like a cup of tea and a slice of cabbage?
