Tergon:
The conversation about pronunciation amuses me. Everyone gets all defensive about how their corner of the US pronounces things, which states have funny accents, all that jazz. Of course, to the rest of the world there's a slight difference when you go from North to South and that's pretty much it. Y'all are just 'Mericans to us!
Because, I think if anyone has the right to claim worst injury in accent-related shenanigans, we Aussies have a decent argument there. Listening to people cry, "Gidday mayyyyyte! Threw ah shiiiiimp on the baaaaaahbie!" whenever they find out we're Australian is the kind of torture that only the worst of us shall have to endure in Hell. The other Aussies on here know what I'm talking about. ;)
Or hell, just try listening to this commercial for Outback Steakhouse without breaking down crying. I couldn't.

Ugh... But we can only blame ourselves for that. We chose to make Paul Hogan our spokesbogan.
Method of Madness:
When I think of crazy Australian accents. I think of Claire from Lost.
"CHAHLEE! THEY'VE GOT MY BYE-BEE! CHAAAAAAAAHLEEE!"

Hey, I'll admit to watching The Hogan Show as a kid, but I never voted for that bloke to become our spokesperson.
On a related topic, there was one time I was visiting the USA and I was shopping when I heard a broad "criiiikey" from the large TV overhead.
After watching for a couple of minutes, people were trying to figure out why I was crying from laughing so hard.
