Well, it's Danish if that's what you're asking. Obviously all Danish accents are atrocious but there you go.

Whoever added the "dog" sound effects in the Danish Love scene is incredibly gifted at his/her job.

It's Danish all right. And it's disturbingly plausible as well.  :lol:

The handball was great, the rest was quite meh. A bit too....unfunnily grim. But it is natural progression from the 'come to Denmark and impregnate our women' advert

Can one of our Danophone friends tell us how good/bad the accents are?

The accents sound they are from someone who hasnt spoken danish in a long time, kind of like the accent people from our so called "cultured elite" uses when they try to sound international and cultivated...

In that way does it fit the people around Lars Von Trier very good...

Well someone has to.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Talk about an epic fail in getting the joke. Have you ever seen any of Lars von Trier's movies? If you haven't, you can be excused in not getting it, though (since his movies are like those clips).  :lol:
