* ''[['Allo 'Allo!|Allo Allo]]'' was set in Nazi-occupied France and has characters of several nationalities speaking several different languages, all represented by the actors using deliberately bad accents. The Germans had bad German accents. The downed English airmen had bad English accents. The French had bad French accents, except when they were speaking English in which case they used bad English accents as well.

* ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue|Hamish And Dougal]]'' play with this ''a lot''. In one episode, the Laird turns over an explanation of everything strange that's been happening in that episode...in letter form. We hear Hamish and Dougal mutter as they read it, before exclaiming "Well, that all makes perfect sense!" Then there's the [[Running Gag]] that pops up whenever they get to a new location...
{{quote|'''Dougal:''' Here we are at the [[Mad Libs Catchphrase|[location]!]]
'''Hamish:''' ...why did you say that?
'''Dougal:''' Well...there might be blind people around here, not knowing where they are. }}
