I'm from the UK. I found this funny, unreservedly. But I honestly really wish Americans would drop the "Cockney" thing and take the piss out of modern British accents instead. We've got a million of them and most of them are comic - let's let Cockney die?

it has the word "cock" in it, it's unrealistic to expect people to latch onto anything else
