Awww, same here, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh. I had no idea his accent was terrible.

[tree_and_leaf]

It's really, really bad. Which is a shame, because it's otherwise a charming performance (and apparently when Dick Van Dyke belatedly realised how bad it was, he was really embarrassed and asked why no-one had told him during filming).

[(Anonymous)]

Bless him. It was awful but it's a credit to him as an actor that his performance was no less charming for it. :)

I love Bert, too, bad accent and all!

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

I like Bert, but I'm really glad they didn't have Dick Van Dyke do an accent for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Re: Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure he was banned from further accentery by Parliament.

Re: Yeah.

[greghousesgf]

hehehehehehehe

Re: Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL!

[(Anonymous)]

Sure it's bad, but it's just so dang charming that I cannot manage to care at all!

[(Anonymous)]

Same! This is a cute secret. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Totally agree. Bert is so lovely I even love his accent.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol when I was a kid I thought he was a real cockney, and my Dad (a Londoner) looked ready to disown me.

As bad as his accent was, he's a really lovely character :'D

Oh, I loved Bert! I didn't even realise the accent was inaccurate when I was little (what with being a small-town American kid, and all). I just really thought Burt was a fun guy that I'd love to hang out with.

I've since gone on to do some occasional voice stuff in the last few years, some while incorporating a more realistic British-inspired accent, but I still find his awful cockney oddly charming.

...And I've come to the realisation that baby-me totally shipped Mary/Bert. So... there's that. XD
