      When Benedryl Cabbagepatch is trying to sound American he ends up sounding like a German person playing a British actor doing an American accent. I like him as an actor but his accent in Dr Strange is just…off somehow.

      Compared to Hugh Laurie or Idris Elba who both do it flawlessly.

        We had a batch of Long Island Iced Tea in the fridge and we had the bright idea of mixing it with lemonade and calling it a Long Island Arnold Palmer, and trying to say that phrase is a good way of approximating Crumbleslap’s American accent.

        I think the problem is his American accent has no definitive region. He hits his A sounds like he’s from California and his O sounds like he’s from Minnesota, and he’s playing a New Yorker. It’s very jarring.

        Please try to pronounce Bandersnatch Cummerdills correctly next time, it is the man’s name after all…
