    Funniest - Definitely Indian. And I am one, though I don't think mine it too heavy.

    Least comprehensible - Blacks from Louisiana. I can't understand a word they are saying. :(

    Favorite - Definitely Italian and Argentinian. Had a hot neighbor while back who was from Argentina. Talking to her once in a while made me wanna spank something. :eek:

    Least favorite - Boston. Just seems forced. Weird since I also loved listening to Desmond's Irish accent on Lost.

    I love Japanese, hate Vietnamese. There is a nice flow to Japanese, but Vietnamese is so unpleasant to listen to.

    Just about any European accent is good. French and Italian most notably.

    Funniest - Probably Scottish. A Scottish accent makes an average joke hilarious for some reason.
    Least Comprehensible - Trinidadian or Jamaican
    Favorite - Virginian women. I love that easy drawl.
    Least Favorite - Boston.

    No fan of British either. Was in London for just a day and hailed a cab over. He started blathering something and I just stood there like...umm speak Texan dude.

    fav - scottish

    least - NY or boston. There is nothing worse than a good looking girl open her mouth to only have a thick NY/boston accent. Complete buzz kill.

    funniest - indian or Cajun. I have a good friend who has a thick cajun accent and i could just listen to him for hours tell stories...the best part is watching him talk to someone who isn't use to hearing the accent because they can't understand him.

    Lebanese and Egyptian are quite nice. If a chick is speaking proper Arabic its pretty damn sexy.

    The African clicking dialect is also annoying.

    Scottish accent is awesome, I don't know if Glasgow accent is heavier, but that is amazing.

    Vietnamese accent is the worst...... I have never experienced such horror until moving to Houston... the horror...
