** "Endut! Hoch Hech!"

** "Die Bart Die."

** "Dingamagoo", a food Fat Tony's henchman Legs mentions in "A Fish Called Selma"; most fans assume this is some sort of Italian pasta dish, but according to writer Josh Weinstein, he made the word up. Although he does say he might have intended it to suggest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasta_e_fagioli pasta fazool.]

* In ''[[King Arthur's Disasters]]'', when thanking Sir Martyn in his "language," King Arthur makes random Japanese-sounding noises.

* The ''[[Daria]]'' episode ''Of Human Bonding'' features a Danish ~~baloonist~~, Arno, who sports a heavy German accent. The Danish language - accent included - is actually very different from German, but is similar to both Swedish and Norwegian, as these countries belong to the Scandinavian part of Northern Europe.

* [[Viva Piñata (animation)|Viva Piñata]] had a scene with sumo hippos who are implied to be japanese. The words they spoke were japanese alright, but they spoke it completely out of context, especially since the words were like "Sushi" and "Sashimi" that most western audiences would know anyways. It's a funny steath pun considering what comes out of a pinata, but given that they speak perfect english, it's a bit of a [[Mood Whiplash]].
