Go and watch "Y Tu Mama Tambien" which illustrates the great humour that Mexicans and Iberians find in each others accents. My girlfriend (Basque) regularly takes the piss out of the Mexican accent and giggled all the way through it.
From what I understand by my Spanish speaking friends, Iberian Spanish is less formal and uses more slang than South American Spanish so it may be better to learn a South American version. Just remember that accents in South America are as diverse as Europe because most of the people there are European immigrants or decendants speaking Spanish. They will laugh at you, but they won't be insulted (they're not French).
