* ''[[Bones]]'': Squintern Arastoo Vaziri faked a Middle Eastern accent in order to justify his devout Muslim-ness to the other characters, pretending he's fresh off the boat from Iran, but the accent he uses is Jordanian rather than Iranian. At one point he loses his temper and speaks without the accent, then confesses. Bones is not surprised.

'''Booth:''' Yeah, he does. Yeah, it's thicker than Achmed the rug merchant. ''Whispering to Brennan'' Was that racist? It sounded racist.
'''Brennan:''' I knew that despite the fact that Arastoo said he was Iranian, his accent was Jordanian.
'''Cam:''' Don't you find it odd that he was faking an Arab accent of any kind?
'''Brennan:''' [[Completely Missing the Point|Iranian isn't actually Arab]]. }}
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Barney performs an in-universe example, claiming to be Swedish but talking with a French accent.
