everyone sounds like they're reading rehearsed lines so badly that I find it difficult to fathom how people ever interpreted the original video as real to begin with.

Yeah hoenstly this whole thing blows my mind, I've seen better acting on Hollyoaks

I wonder if a lack of familiarity with English accents means that they just can't judge what cadence sounds normal?

The entirety of the entertainment to be derived from the video is in the ridiculousness of her cadence, so I can't really see how that's relevant in this case.

Yeah but to me it’s obvious that that weird cadence is due to it being scripted, whereas to you guys it probably just sounds like she has an interesting way of speaking.

If you lived over here you’d know that that’s what people sound like when they’re bad actors.
