I have to say that Dick Van Dyke's attempt at a Cockney accent in "Mary Poppins," while weirdly entertaining, is worthy of this list and only rarely or never is not included in any such list published online. The accent sounds like anything but Cockney. I have Cockney friends and, trust me, there is nothing Cockney about it except that Dick Van Dyke/ Mary Poppins references have made their way into their speech when describing something as totally fake. I guess Dick Van Dyke's accent on Mary Poppins vaguely reminds me of Zimbabwean English combined with tinges of Australian and Newfoundlander, and an abundance of American leaking through the cracks of his leaky invention of English vernacular. It amuses me every time I hear it.
