Got Me Doing It: Difference between revisions

* On an episode of [[M*A*S*H (television)]], Col. Potter was arguing with a Korean who was insisting in pidgin English that the unit would have to move to get out of the way of a North Korean advance. Finally, Potter found himself saying "We no move! We no move!" before stopping himself, saying, "Now I'm talking like you."

* An old ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch has [[Christopher Lee]] as Henry Higgins attempting to cure the [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome|speech impediment]] of Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa. It not only doesn't take, but he develops the impediment himself.

* In ''[[Sliders]],'' there's a dimension that resembles the [[Wild West]]... again. One by one the cast starts to let stereotypical cowboy-speak enter their vocabulary, occasionally saying "sorry, it's catching." Finally, the villain of the episode, someone they'd met before on another world, announces to them, ''"You guys are making me ornerier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking contest!"'' The Sliders look at him, and he sheepishly says, "sorry. It's catching."

* Pops up [[Buffy-Speak|occasionally]] in ''[[Buffy]]'' and ''[[Angel]]''.
