What do you mean by "fake accent"?
I imagine it's an attempt at trying to sound like a native (which is of course very hard to do when you're not native, hence the sometimes comedic effect) to be more understandable. I think that's a good habit.
As a side note, in Korea, Americans are notorious for standing out with their native American accent when talking Korean, while non-English natives tend to blend in slightly better when speaking Korean. A gross generalization of course.
By the way, I think Joe speaks several languages "natively" beyond English. I'm not sure though.
Nice video, I agree.

Thanks dude, you understand. I want to sound as native as possible when speaking a foreign accent, and if it comes across 'comedic' at times, i'm okay with that. It's a question or understanding, comprehension and respect.

Wasn't sure anymore that I understood OP's intent after reading his response to my response, but seems like I did as you interpreted it in the same way.
Yes, it's all about understanding, comprehension and respect. I do speak several of the languages you speak, and I think you are pretty easy to understand when you do so. Especially because you manage to tone down your English accent.
For what it's worth, it's your native English that sounds most "comedic" to me, but that's because British English just does that to me ;)

When foreign people speak English, i've yet to hear anyone (including the Peruvian guide in the video) speak it with anything other than their native accent - feigning the accent of the race/culture of the language being spoken is a strange affectation - if the Peruvian guy in the video had adopted a comedy English accent to speak English it would have been a curious sight. Anyone might speak other languages with degrees of fluency, but they don't speak them natively.

We can agree on this part :)
