But if you hear his US accent back in the 80s, it was a different story. (To be fair, what accent is this?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwSL...

I love stand-up comedians going, "Hey, it's cheaper than therapy!" Falling off a ski lift is cheaper than going to the gym, but they are also not the same.

"Who shot Snot?" from S1E1 is nigh-on impossible for a British person to say in a good American accent.

In the 1970s, no British actors could do a convincing American accent, and now they all can. It's like how birds learned to drink cream through milk bottle tops.
