[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Non-English media interjecting English even when it is not always appropriate]].
There are a number of reasons for this. [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Foreign languages in general]] help spice up a work, and with the fact that English is something of a [[Common Tongue|general trade language]], a lot of viewers will have some idea of what's going on, no matter their native language. However, most of the time the writers don't actually speak English (or at least not fluently), resulting in [[You No Take Candle|some rather]] [[Blind Idiot Translation|silly phrases]], [[Translation Train Wreck|or worse]].
Subverted by [[Surprisingly Good English]]. Compare [[Bilingual Dialogue]] for a more surreal linguistic experience, and [[Blind Idiot Translation]] for the ''really'' bad version. See also [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]] and all its subtropes.
