This clip of Leonard Nimoy doing an Australian accent will short circuit your brain
This clip of the late, great Leonard Nimoy on Mission Impossible went viral because, well, no words can quite do justice to the Australian accent we think he’s attempting.
The video was shared by @ben_hr and it really is a minute and a half well spent.
I had a memory of Leonard Nimoy playing an Australian (I think?) on Mission Impossible and boy is this clip I found incredible pic.twitter.com/NM1EMy2zH2

You can tell he’s Australian because he says ‘fair dinkum’. And just a few of the things people said about it …
Both horrifying and sublime

It's like hearing myself in a mirror. A broken, hideously warped, mirror.

Dick Van Dyke’s mockney accent in Mary Poppins sounds more Aussie than that.
