I just watched a similar segment on Taskmaster doing some regional American accents, everyone kind of defaulted to Texas
I watch a lot of British panel shows and am slowly starting to differentiate the accents. I can recognize some of them, but I couldn't tell you where any of them are from.
If I'm not paying attention, they all just sound "generic British" to me.
Jimmy Carr’s laugh should have its own accent because wtf is that!
Remember how old 8-bit games would try to synthesize sounds because they couldn't just use recordings?
That's about how natural his laugh sounds.
And we Americans can't comprehend how every little metro area has its own distinct accent.
