Line 69:

'''Korax:''' [faint Scottish accent] You're right. I should. [No accent] I didn't mean to say the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say the Enterprise should be hauled away ''as'' garbage! }}

** And in a Season 3 episode ''Nurse Chapel'' also makes a comment to Scotty while imitating his accent.

** Kirk imitated Scotty's accent once during the flight over to the ''Enterprise'' in ''[[Star Trek ~~the~~ Motion Picture (Film)|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]''.

* Michael Westen of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' will quickly jump into an accent necessary to perform his spy game. Sometimes to imitate a foreigner like South African, but usually to maintain a sort of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] by imitating Texan or deep Californian.

** And once ended up subverting the assumptions used in [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] by playing "Homer" as ''very clever'' Deep South white trash.

Line 75:

* ''[[Top Gear]]'': The three (British) presenters occasionally slip into Russian or German accents, usually when a car from that nation is up for review. The ''gefingerpoken'' flew especially thick and fast during a crossover with the hosts of German motoring show ''D Motor''.

** Jeremy commonly does an American one whenever the US comes up (which succeeds in sounding like a mid-western American trying to imitate a southerner.)

* Supervillain Sylar on ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'' seems to have a knack for using fake accents to [[Paper Thin Disguise|convince people he's someone that he's not]].

** Someone actually from West Baltimore has noted in passing that [http://heroeswiki.com/Episode_talk:Into_Asylum#Love_the_Music Sylar cannot do a decent West Baltimore accent].

* Played with to hilarious effect on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' where Spike ([[Fake Brit|a British character played by an American actor]]) at one point put on a ''terrible'' American accent and claimed to be Xander's cousin.

Line 92:

'''Tinker:''' I think he means "Bent"<br />

'''Lovejoy:''' I prefer coor-ved. }}

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* In ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]],'' Spider-Man mocks [[Super Villain]] Shocker's accent in this way. He has good reason to, because while Shocker's real name may be Montana (he's the Enforcer by that name, rather than Herman Schultz as in the comics), he sounds more like your [[Southern Fried Private|stereotypical Texan]].

* Parodied on ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' where Bart mentions in a Cockney accent that he's going to become a chimney sweep, only to have Homer object that "No son of mine is going to be a 19th century stereotype."

** "Y'mean it ain't me noggin, it's me peepers? Well, that's just luverly!"
