== Anime and Manga ==

* Used for a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] in ''[[Kings]]''. [[Lampshading]] a whole season of dialogue more fit for the stage than the small screen, William declares that everyone has "suffered enough peacock speeches". After laying down the law, he warns Rose, "Neither you, nor he, nor any vagrant opinion will interrupt what--now you've got me doing it!"

* A minor plot point in ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' involved Lily adopting a rather unimpressive English accent, apparently after watching all the James Bond films in one weekend.

* During a [[Talking Head]] segment of the US version of [[The Office]], we get this gem when Jan Levinson wants to out her relationship with Michael:

* The ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'' episode "Stage Fright" had Raquel singing a duet of "Crying" with Tony Angelino The Singing Dustman ... who turned out to have [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]].

{{quote| '''Tony''': You weave me cwying,<br />

* In ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'', Desmond's been called "Brother" at least once. Also, at Comic-Con 2009, Michael Emerson called Jorge Garcia "dude".

* In an early episode of ''[[Corner Gas (TV)|Corner Gas]]'' Lacey complains about the others habit of spitting on the floor when the neighboring town of Woolerton is mentioned. By the end of the scene, she's doing it and realises she's become one of them.

* 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."

** When Buffy fills the new principal in on how Sunnydale High works...

{{quote| '''Buffy:''' It's like all the hellmouth's energy is trying to escape in that one little spot, and it's getting all...<br />

** Interestingly, ''lah'' is appended to a sentence in Singaporean English for emphasis or reassurance.

* Accoring to Don Adams, this would happen to guest stars who were on the show ''Get Smart.'' Don Adams voice proved very infectious.

 

== Theatre ==

{{quote| '''Villager:''' You know we sent for the great Othar Tryggvassen?<br />

'''Krosp:''' [[Gentleman Adventurer|Gentleman adven-]] WHAT AM I DOING!? }}

* Several times in ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'', characters start speaking with Durkon's accent, only to catch and correct themselves.

* It seems that anyone who spends any time with [[Life and Death (Webcomic)|Steve and Bobby]] will eventually start making atrocious puns. Time claims it's contagious.

* In ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'', anyone and everyone who spends time around the Deegans will end up making lots of ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun]]''s. Also, Spark's alliterration habit seems to be contagious as well.

* The ''[[Dinosaur Comics (Webcomic)|Dinosaur Comics]]'' fan community has a habit of talking like the comic's characters, even when the topic is something else entirely. This has carried over to some other comic communities as well, since the official forum is shared with several fandoms.

** Over the course of the Troll's session, all of them began copying each other's animal themed puns as a sort of inside joke among each other.

 

== Web Original ==

{{quote| '''Prof. Farnsworth''' "I can't believe the Devil is so unforgiving!"<br />

'''Zoidberg''' "I can't believe everybody's just ad-libbing!" }}

* In the ''[[Doug]]'' episode "Doug Flies a Kite", Doug's father constantly rhymed throughout the episode about kite philosophy. In the last line of the episode, Doug said:

{{quote| "The Funnie Five was the simplest kite there, but it's the one that did best in the air. Ah! Now he's got ''me'' doing it!"}}

* In the feature length animated film of [[Wonder Woman]], she and the Amazons find fighter pilot, Steve Trevor, wandering around the island after his plane is shot down and interrogate him with the lasso of truth. He's forced to reveal many embarrassing truths including the meaning behind the expletive "crap" which disgusts the warrior women. After a prolonged period of unintentional bonding while stopping the god of war, Ares, Wonder Woman utters the word herself when she's about to be smushed by the empowered god. Wonder Woman: "[[Oh Crap]]..."

* In the Disney [[Hercules (Disney)|Hercules]] episode "Hercules and the Arabian Night," a crossover with [[Aladdin (Disney)|Aladdin]], Hades at first mocks Jafar's [[Evil Laugh]], then by the end of the episode he's ''also'' laughing evilly and says he kind of likes it.

* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'':

** In the cartoon "My Favorite Duck", [[Porky Pig]] is on a camping trip near a pond, and [[Daffy Duck]] annoys him with [[Screwy Squirrel|his usual antics]] while singing "Blues in the Night". After several gags, Porky is shown absent-mindedly singing the song, only to realize what he's doing and throw an angry glare at the [[Fourth Wall]].
