Speaking as an American, from my understanding, it's supposed to be a lighthearted tease. No one's being seriously malicious about a Southern English accent on this side of the pond.
That said, having coached friends in the UK on American accents before for theater and voice acting and other things, I do have a legitimate question. Understand, I hope this is of no offense to you. But why is it the only two accents most Brits can do are Texan and Boston?

Oof. Mexico has 8 and Canada has 2. Just being neighbors to the US increases the odds of a school shooting happening.

I have a suspicion that Americans are actually pronouncing bottle of water this way, because with the yanks every accusation is a confession.

What the fucks a 'Southern English accent'? Accents change every 20km over here.
George W. Bush and Family Guy.
Speaking as a Scot, I just say anything ridiculous with conviction and it sounds American.

As per my original comment, Every accusation is a confession; therefore Americans can only do Boston and Texan accents.
