* The Spirit of Jazz from ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', a demented Voodoo jazz musician, as well as the two guitar players Rudi and Spider—who were broad Latino stereotypes—were all played by White guys ([[Blackface|wearing black or brown makeup]] ). Then again, ''Boosh'' has a very small cast so those actors tend to play ''everyone''.
* Fiona Glenanne of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' has been accused of this. She's an [[Oireland|Oirish]], [[Hot Blooded]] [[The Troubles|ex-IRA terrorist]] whose prime source of income is [[Arms Dealer|running guns]] and whose contribution to every planning session is to [[Fighting Irish|suggest the application of excessive violence]]. All that, and she's [[Britain Versus the UK|played by an English actress]], too.
* The show ''My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'' and the [[Spin -Off]] in America have been accused of intentionally highlighting extreme Romani lifestyles and making them seem abnormal.

* Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" rarely causes offense, as it benefits from the nerdy equivalent of [[N -Word Privileges]]. It's full of [[Genius Bonus|Genius Bonuses]], too.

* ''[[The Producers]]'' (as well as its film adaptation) does this with homosexual stereotypes, to such a ludicrous extent that there's no way ''any'' contemporary audience could think it was intended in seriousness. ([[PoesPoe's Law|Right?]])
