I'm no expert on the versions and vagaries of the different English dialects (I'd be hard pressed to tell which sort of Irish accent he's using apart from the fact that it just sounds 'Irish'), but my first impression of Wisbey was that he got them all pretty much spot on.
And strangely enough, Kolya, there's a rhythm and modulation of pitch to many English accents where their voices indeed go 'up and down like that' even during the course of normal speech. He's not serious while reading most of those out, but you'd be surprised how close his impressions are to any average denizen of the UK's usual speech patterns. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's English.

Styles Knob? What, like Gok Wan? I don't get it
When you say it out loud it's homonymous to "style snob", which alludes to SubJeff's "stilted knob" as well as the stilted (stylised) writing style I consequently used in that post. In your face, loopnutz.
I'm aware of English prosody by the way. I just think he overdid the funneh, 's all. But as you said YMMV.

What are loopnutz and why are they in my face

To enhance your sympathy with the homosexual outgroup.

Oddly of all the replies I agree with Pig. This is crap. Not for some stupid voice inflection either.The reason it isn't funny is that it's like making fun of mental illness. The "be my friend" guy is particularly pathetic and making fun is just as creepy as most of the lonely wankers who wrote. It's like kicking a legless dog or something.
I'm all for laughing about mental illness WITH a mentally ill person mind you. The most apt description of crazy I ever heard was from a crazy who aked me if I ever woke up from a dream that made pefect sense while I was in it but upon waking was messed up and that was him off his meds but I digress.
