    A C-3P0 accent will make passersby stop and stare, in awe I'm sure. Back it up with the stiff-kneed walk and they'll start pulling out their phones.

    That is because the people who now think you are smarter and not themselves very bright.

    I assume you must be in the south conservative bible belt USA. There, being able to utter words that have more than two syllables is considered a proof of higher education.

    You most likely did the typical British accent, there are many British accents, you only have to go a few miles and you'll find a different accent.

    Asian accent would make you sound smart

    Everyone knows that British are not smart. Let's put it this way "they're laughing at you, not with you"

    You just sound like a fool and people find it amusing
