Actually..
Oct 5, 2010
I've encountered all of the British accents he's imitating when I worked for the British Military, and all the international ones when I worked for UN. He did it amazingly well, very talented. Of course, there's always room for improvement, that's not disputable.
I particularly enjoyed the Chinese and Nigerian. We had a Ghanaian guy at our UN office who sounded exactly like him! But probably there are variations between Ghanaian and Nigerian.

Just awesome. I've replayed the video several times. It's amazing what a great command of his articulatory channel he has.
The kid probably grew up in London listening to all of these accents on public transport, or different people talking on the phone in a wide variety of accents. Ha ha.
As for the Guy Richie, remember the Snatch, he did that one too - chav's English!
