Give Us A Mimic: China vs. America in Accent Videos

Whether it's in a job interview or when they're three sheets to the wind, everybody occasionally speaks in strange tongues. Not everybody, however, makes videos of themselves doing accents and posting them on the Internet. Way back in December, Dalian's Zhang Xu wowed web-goers with his array of accented English. Now he's got competition in the form of Mike Sui's accented Chinese video – hats off to Beijing Cream for following Chinese college students on social media – which is blowing up all over the interwebs right now. We've put the former and the latter together for you to enjoy in one Youkutastic multinational, multilingual melting pot. And then, for contrast, we've added a sweary British kid in a shed offering his take on everything, including a spot of Chinese-accented English. Enjoy your holiday.

Representing China, Zhang Xu ...

Representing America, Mike Sui ...

And, embarrassing Britain with his foul language ... "Chinese" comes in at 20 of 24.
