Cockney Orcs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Our friends outside the UK maybe wondering what I'm on about, and therefore I offer my apologies at the outset.

Anyway, in The Two Towers and ROTK, there were a couple of scenes with orcs and/or Uruks speaking to each other in heavy Cockney accents!

I know this is only a very small, trivial point, but as soon as I heard them my view of them totally changed. All of a sudden I was thinking "Eastenders" and Phil Mitchell saying "wossall this then!! you 'aving a larrff? gerr'ourrrt myyyy parrrb you slaggg!"

And so it was with these Orcs. I was just waiting for one of them to start singing "knees up, mother Brown!" while immitating Pearly Kings down the Old Kent Road! To be honest I absolutely piddled myself everytime they spoke because I just couldn't take them seriously anymore, gov'nor!

This is just a pointless little observation that has been bothering me for years. I will now go back to sleep
