Why are you doing this bongs? >American parents are noticing their little ones adopting British accents after watching "Peppa Pig," a popular children’s TV show about a female pig and her animal friends. >Janet Manley, a mother of two, coined the sudden mimicking of the British accent the “Peppa Effect” after her daughter began calling her “mummy” during an hours-long flight to Australia. >Up until the age of 20 months, my daughter was a pristine developmental specimen, untouched by screen-time. Then we flew to Australia,” Manley wrote for Romper, a website for millennial mothers. “After 21 hours of flight time spent binge-watching Peppa Pig episodes on the iPad, my kid had adopted Peppa Pig’s plum British accent, calling me ‘Mummy” >Best thing that Noah does these days is speak in a British accent b/c of Peppa Pig,” film critic Clayton Davis tweeted last month. “2 days ago, he came to me, & said “Daddy, I want to sit on your lap and use the computer”#PeedMyPants," one user wrote. >Yeah I can vouch for the #PeppaEffect in our house. Tayla absolutely lapses into a slight Brit accent and vocabulary, and uses the word "straightaway" more than I ever have in my life! Daddy, when we get home do I have to go to bed straightaway?" said another.
Fun fact: Sometimes people with Asperger's have really weird accents because they pronounce words however they first heard them, usually on TV.

It’s to counter the spic waves, Americans must start adopting accents in order for us to defeat them.

This has been a thing since radio/tv. Every generation's accent becomes a little more homogenized than the previous generation's because of exposure to media outside of their own region. It's just accelerating now because kids spend more and more time watching media content, and a wider variety of content at that.
Jaxon Roberts
Kids going to grow up to be a furry anyway
Carson Reyes
watched hot fuzz in 7th grade and developed the autistic british accent phase
John Kelly
the fuck? do they watch peppa pig 24h a day or what?
Ryan Myers
Actually it was watching top gear.
When ever I get drunk I slip into a british accent.
Xavier Johnson
My cousin has a 5 year old daughter who watches that show, and has adopted a british accent. I hear my uncle talk about how strange it is all the time. She even refers to flashlights as "torches".
Nathaniel Long
They are raising Loyalists. You thought Brits lost the Revolutionary War? Think again.
Jordan Williams
Gotta get ‘em young. Lead with video games and then tell them about Sonicfox and how cool it is to play Smash brothers in a fursuit.
It's true. Just look at Southern accents. Back in my day, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, they all had distinct accents and you could place a man by his cadence and inflection without error. Down to the county, if you had a good ear and had traveled a bit. Now there are two Southern accents, "Generic Redneck" and "Texas."
Aiden Kelly
do bongs actually make all the content aimed at small children ? every baby show I can think of was made in the UK, except maybe one or two made in Canada.
British children’s tv is trying to get Americans to speak and spell more British like, they saw the opportunity and took it. It’s just determining why?

Teletubbies were friggin weird, man. I remember I used to cry for some reason every time that sun baby would set.
Sometimes I wonder if that show had adverse effects on me.
Christopher Fisher
Implying that s a bad thing...American english sounds at best Vanilla and at worst retarded.
>Imb4 how long untill they start pushing gay slang in kids cartoons
>Loonette was a fucking leaf Well that explains a lot. Back when my little sister was 4 and obsessed with that show, I thought I hated it because it was pablum. Turns out I could sense the vile Canadian-ness of it.
Tyler Wright
Probably the Yorkshire accent because that’s the region where Jermey Clarkson grew up in.
Bentley Bailey
I remember her! She said was fun!!!!
Bentley Williams
What's the deal? People in the UK randomly blurt out Americanisms over here because of the swaths of US television.
Adam Scott
They're trying to make us as feminine as possible, the American accent is more aggressive and masculine.
Ryan James
Yep, I have a Texas accent, but it's not nearly as thick as my dad's accent.
In addition to media, talking to people from other regions affects your accent too, which has greatly increased thanks to the internet and to a lesser degree from migration.
Isn't the American accent actually closer to the original British accent before 19th century education made all the British learn the posh way of speaking?
I would not worry about the accent as it will go away. I would worry about what kind of subliminal messages are stuck in the story lines. Remember they start the indoctrination early.
Yes and no. Brits don't have a uniform accent today and damn sure didn't 50, 100, or 300 years go. That said, the non-rhoticity(not pronouncing an R at the end of a word) of posh London accents slowly spread outward through the parts of the world that 1) received immigration/colonization from those regions which had already adopted said non-rhoticity and 2) were heavy trading partners the British in the late 18th and 19th century. The reason Americans and Canadians don't sound like Aussies or Bongs is mainly due to when and where our Britbong ancestors came from. Pretty much only New England was settled by Southeastern Britain in the beginning. The south was settled by northern English borderers, Scotch Irish, and Southwestern English. Canada is a mishmash of everywhere as a result of them having to take in our loyalist refugees after the Revolution. You can hear in their accents that they sound more Irish and Scottish, which would make sense seeing how they have Nova Scotia and we have New England. In addition, there was probably some alteration of English in America once we had large non-English speaking populations like the Pennsylvania Dutch or the millions of immigrants in the 19th century, though I personally think it's very overblown. Being a foreigner was looked down upon to such a degree back then that people actively sought to keep their children from speaking German or Swedish at home. An "accentless" burger has always been a good burger outside of the south. Only heavily rooted regional identities resist the homogenization.
how is this even news? you aren't a certified North American until you've mocked the British accent. Kids talk like that because they think it sounds funny
Isaiah Fisher
Every day I find out I'm a little more autistic than the last, thanks
Carter Bennett
What a load of shit. There are tens of distinct accents in Britain despite TV airing for decades and primarily featuring accents from the South East of England.
Wyatt Hernandez
Maybe the kid was absorbing the spirit of Australia and was practicing irl shitposting.
Josiah Gray
I can hear a faint yorkshire twang in his accent but you wouldn't notice it unless you were from here his accent is relatively upper class
Carson Reyes
Crikey! What a strange thing to call a brightly-stick!
Chase Ramirez
Am I the only one that regularly speaks to myself in an English accent? It flows off the tongue easier
>this show is intolerant to british muslims. >we must work to have it removed from the air British Muslims are intolerant of the west. We must work to remove them from westrn society.
Unrelated, but I was watching a documentary about Vietnam yesterday, at what point did we lose our quintessential American accent? Y'know, the one you always hear in pre-80s movies, that sounds slightly like a Chicagoan trying to talk through his teeth?
Eli Gray
fuck
I cannot stop saying dog as "dawg" I don't even remeber what fuckin movie i saw as a kid with an actor that had a Bostonian accent
You should be appreciative I'm sticking up for you guys.
I love you UK, faggot.
William Barnes
I always pronounce "prick" with a Boston/New York accent thanks to growing up with mafia movies. "It's just a pin prick, ya fuckin prick".
Lincoln Ramirez
Peppa going wild. Should she become a new Jow Forums mascot to anger normies?

That's weird as fuck. But I have noticed a lot of Americans picking up some Britishisms lately. I blame Game of Thrones.

It's a psyop to produce neo loyalists to the British crown so Great Britain can reclaim the northeast as a colony.

Jose Baker
>Should she become a new Jow Forums mascot to anger normies? Then we would get some roasty clown type claiming Pepe was hers and a thing of the left for happiness with clown hair, and how we have perverted him.

Good. All children should speak with the purity of the English language accent. I sometimes even see the roughest chav mothers with their little angels speaking so eloquently, it breaks my heart to know that soon they shall adopt the vile prole tongue.
Received British Prounciation = Intelligence, class and a purity of spirit.
>watching football >supporting a team >screaming at the screen >getting emotional about the result low IQ as fuck I have no idea how anyone gets so into it
Colton Cook
It isn't usually TV, but becasue Aspergers hear tones as part of the word, like Asians do, so they tend to pronounce the word always with the same tone. Which with a non tonal language like English, they either speak with idiosyncratic tones or with flat tones. When they speak a langauge like Chinese, they sound 100% normal.
Aaron Hill

Noah Morris
Why the fack we want or kids talking Loike posh cunts ya fackin poof?
Same here in ENGERLAND. The regional accent is all but dead in the souf. No longer is there a distinct Hampshire or Cornish, but now is generic southern (which is how I speak). Cockney is almost dead. The Norf has retained some of it, but even now it's dying.
Joseph Robinson
HAHAHAHA!
Then don't get Pissed when we call it "soccer," or don't give a fuck about the sport.
Actually, you're just talking shit because you're trying to egg us on about getting competitive about it.
Maybe we should.
Jacob Jones
Pies here are 99% fruit, so they'd be rampaging around with a can of PBR and a strawberry flan.
