Line 36:
* ''[[Monty Python and The Holy Grail]]'' has the Knights of the Round Table, whose shows are formidAYble, but many times they're given rhymes that are quite unsingAYble.
* The [[Starfish Aliens|Thermians]] in ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]''. Nice guys, but ''really'' lousy at acting human.
* In ''[[Megamind]]'', the titular [[Card -Carrying Villain]]'s pronunciation of "Metro City" as "MeTROcity" (rhymes with "atrocity") becomes an important plot point. He also has trouble pronouncing a few other words, such as "school" and "hello."
* In ''[[The Hangover]]'', Zach Galifiniakis's character mispronounces the word "retard" as "reTARD".
* In ''[[Ghostbusters]] 2'', Janosz's [[Just a Stupid Accent|silly accent]] occasionally involves stressing the wrong syllable.
Line 155:
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[I CarlyICarly (TV)|I Carly]]'', Carly (and everyone else) repeatedly say "Yaki-MUH," as in "I'm not moving to Yaki-MUH." It's actually pronounced "Yakih-MAH."
* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'''s 20th anniversary special, a Time Lord official is taken for a mind scan. His cry of, "No, not the [[Mind Probe|mind PROBE!]]" was unintentional, and no matter how many takes the director called for, the actor kept saying it the same way.
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', the original series, most times, when someone says "starboard," they put the stress on the second syllable.
Line 217:
* From ''[[The Lion King (Disney)|The Lion King]]'''s [[Villain Song|"Be Prepared"]]: "deCADES of denial." As usual, the pronunciation was forced in order to fit the melody.
* The song for the second series credits of [[Blinky Bill]] misprounces Marcia. This is only the singer. When the cast sing they get it right.
* From ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]":
** It happens several times in "At the Gala" from the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|first season finale]], especially the instances of "TOnight at the Gala".
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo "EquesTRIa Girls"] commercial.
** Zecora does this occasionally to get [[Painful Rhyme|her rhymes to work]]. "Mon''STER''" in "Secret of My Excess" is particularly painful.
