h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Your list still needs tidying:

Sir Ian McKellen is in twice in different places in the list: once for X-Men and once for X-Men-2. I don't think it is reasonable to list all the sequels.

You've missed out on John Lithgow as the baddy in Shrek.

I disagree about Lucille La Verne in Snow White. I thought one of the charming things about Snow White was the fact that the Wicked Queen had an American Accent, because it was made before this particular convention was adopted by the film industry. It weakens your argument if you start including people who actually don't have English/British accents.

You're right about LaVerne. Plus I realized that this stereotype is pretty much "men only".

I tidied the list a bit.

I notice that you don't have Jason Isaacs down for his role in Harry Potter II. For that matter, all of the bad guys in Harry Potter have British accents.

Added.

Of course, everyone in Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets had an English accent.

Just bumping this up to ask, Are we ready yet?

Take Jason Isaacs out again. Everybody in Harry Potter had English/Scottish accents. It was set in the UK. So the fact that the baddy also had an English accent is irrelevant.

Other than that it is ready.

Done.

Excellent entry, what!

Congratulations, Theanthrope!

Woo-hoo!

Thanks everyone for pointing out (at length) the inconsistencies and errors, and for all the helpful comments!

I find it a very funny and offending at the same time.

There is some proof that the stereotype in very strong but as the article said convienient.

When we are are doing plays or drama scenes I usually end up playing the villian hence my friends have said "you're suited for the villian because of your accent"

Or the british character can also be used for a comedic effect usually the typical british comedic character has alot of sarcasm.

So the use of the british accent/person juxtaposes 2 matters.
