Me too, but I think he is over-doing it slightly. I mean, no disrespect to him, for an American to notice these traits is fairly awesome. However - a manc would never say a 'tin of beer', for example. It's a can, just like in the US. I've never heard a northerner say 'pukka' either, I think that is more of a southern phrase but it may be just the people I hang out with. I think the most mancunian line that he managed was 'well not lately but like in the main, you know.' Straight out of Liam's mouth, in my opinion, while swaggering like a penguin in a heavy breeze.

As an American, honestly? I just saw these ridiculous, stylized English accents and laughed. I didn't even know Oasis was from Manchester, I'm not familiar with any of these northern/southern nuances, I just found the cadence funny. People who talk about the accuracy of the accents are missing the point. They're hyperreal, like Roast Beef's dialogue Nobody talks like them and everybody talks like them.

Though not entirely and consistently accurate the predominant stereotypes of Northerners and Southerners are reversed between the USA and England: rural area with distinctively thick accents vs. urbanized area with posh elitists.

Do they not ever say 'tinny' (a tinny of bevvy) in Manc? This may well be the case, but it is sooo Geordie, so not really that far off...

I have mixed feelings on this one. I'm no fan of Oasis, but Onstad's mangling of the Mancunian accent and dialect ("pukka"?!) makes me feel strangely protective toward them. On the other hand, the idea that their attempt to conquer America went so badly that they ended up working for beer in a stuffed tiger's yard fills me with the warm, fuzzy glow of schadenfreude.

I'm hearin you on that one.
I like suffering as much as the next guy, but when I encounter someone totally BOTCHING a p!ss-take it leaves a truly bitter taste in the mouth... especially when the target is something rather closer to home than the attacker.

Nope; I censor-bypassed... despite there being no censor.
When you've been as many places on the Internet with word-censorship as I have... and had to bypass those censors as often as I have (and I've only been banned once for it).... you might start spelling the words in censor-bypass form by default too.

That's an accent?! Wow, I just thought they had speech impediments or were playing some elaborate joke on the English language. How come Morrissey sounds normal even though he's from Manchester, too?

I absolutely hate it when people talk about their accents, particularly when they don't seem to actually have an accent.
My least favorite thing of all time is someone telling me how their accent "comes out" when they go back home (to the South, Northeast, England, etc.) -- and yes, I have heard people from all those places say something along those lines and yes it is very very annoying thank you.

This comment should have all the chubbies.
i lost my virginity to that show
which show?
What do you mean "mercifully brief"? Oasis are still together. They are still making music. I don't call 16 years "brief".
The Oasis storyline catachresis is referring to is the one in this strip, not the band's career, which has been agonisinglylong.
Ah, I guess that would make sense.
Though it is now over. Party time?
Yeah okay that song does blow. But there are so many rad ones. Gas Panic is superb . Supersonic, Morning Glory ... great frigging songs. Their lyrics are hells of lame, but the music and ridiculous rockstar foibles make up for it.
