周晓嘻嘻_0001:

The Chinese introduction [of China] was really realistic…haha

像麦芽糖的兔子:

Haha, I thought the Korean part was the most accurate. The facial expressions were extremely accurate.

小女宛Laura:

He must’ve watched a lot of Japanese TV shows, Korean TV shows, American TV shows, various countries’ television shows.

Jovial_Si:

For some reason I don’t think his impersonations were very accurate, hehe, his English, French, American, and Indian accents were all very poor.

薇薇-巫婆:

Talented, so talented, not just his accents, but also his lines were well written, with just a few words capturing the characteristics of the various nationalities.

就龐志佳囖:

I couldn’t tell this was all English, were it not for the subtitles.

kaka0402:

Actually, the hardest is also the most commonly encountered American English. The rest were laughs one after another, the entire video had me laughing from start to finish.

miles:

There were several British English lines that sounded more like Australian.
The American English wasn’t very accurate.

bjss: (responding to above)

Pronunciation, accent, and shape of mouth were all quite accurate, it’s just that they weren’t as exaggerated as the East Asian ones.

kending80s:

The facial expressions were also very well done.

Only the American English and British English were a little off, the rest were

punknn:

The Chinese part at the end was so incisive…

mary840:

The French one was completely wrong, this brother has never met a French person. The rest were not bad.

lm8:

The bangzi part was the most hilarious.

happy_1:

The British English part was lacking, the American English only so-so.

The rest were very excellent.

Listening to him speak Indian English made me think of one of my clients, and that one guy from The Big Bang Theory…

sympatheti:

At the end, it started becoming inharmonious.

What do you think? Were his impersonations accurate?
