The Boys makes fun of actual politics and other fictitious brands, but it&#8217;s not afraid to mock itself — and season 4 finally admits one hard reality about Billy Butcher that everyone has been thinking about since the show&#8217;s debut.
Despite progressing more slowly than previous episodes, The Boys season 4, episode 7 moves the plot along and considerably escalates the stakes ahead of the conclusion. Vought&#8217;s Supes ultimately collide with The Boys, and a shapeshifter makes a significant stride toward assassinating Robert Singer.

Despite the fact that both sides of The Boys&#8217; fundamental battle get more serious, the Amazon series maintains a sense of comedy in its latest chapter. Vought&#8217;s Avenue V Christmas Special is comically ludicrous, and &#8220;The Insider&#8221; even mocks the excitement surrounding NFTs. However, a subsequent line in The Boys season 4, episode 7 targets one of the show&#8217;s main characters and confirms what many fans suspected in season 1.
<h3>The Boys Season 4 Pokes Fun At Karl Urban&#8217;s British Accent</h3>
The Deep Takes Aim At A Common Criticism Of Butcher&#8217;s Character

When the new Black Noir and The Deep first approach Butcher and Annie, Butcher tells the two of them that he&#8217;ll let them &#8220;leg it right now&#8221; because it&#8217;s Christmas. In response, The Deep pokes fun at Karl Urban&#8217;s British accent, saying, &#8220;What, dude? I can barely understand you; your accent&#8217;s insane.&#8221; Most of the things that come out of The Deep&#8217;s mouth are clearly wrong or disagreeable, but this is one element of The Boys he hilariously nails. There have been many questions about and criticisms of Urban&#8217;s accent since The Boys debuted, and this season 4 line finally addresses it.

Butcher&#8217;s accent has become an iconic aspect of the character, but there&#8217;s no denying that it sounds unusual. It&#8217;s supposed to be British, and more specifically, from East London. However, it doesn&#8217;t sound like an ordinary Cockney accent. As NME notes, this has caused confusion over where Butcher is from. The Boys season 4, episode 7 acknowledges this and pokes fun at itself through The Deep&#8217;s one-liner.
<h3>Why Butcher&#8217;s Accent Sounds So Unusual In The Boys</h3>
Karl Urban&#8217;s New Zealand Accent &amp; Butcher&#8217;s History Shine Through

Butcher&#8217;s Cockney accent in The Boys is most likely due to Urban&#8217;s upbringing and Butcher&#8217;s history. Urban is a New Zealander portraying a character from London&#8217;s East End, which complicates issues. Although actors are trained to talk in accents other than their own, it appears like Urban&#8217;s New Zealand accent leaks into Butcher&#8217;s. Butcher grew up in London but has spent a significant amount of time in America. Urban must convey that background anytime he talks, therefore Butcher&#8217;s accent in The Boys is a mix of accents.
