Of course you can't understand it.

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

[quote]The video is not using actual words, it's just using false sentences to explain how we hear things. It's about how the accent washes over us. Of course, it won't make any more sense to those with the same accent, because it's aimed at Brits.

It's trying to give you the impression of the accent, not for you to use to practise your own accent in a different voice
