Porky Pig Pronunciation: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Comics]] ==

* Suberverted in the "Earthquake" storyline of the [[Batman]] comics. Robin is examine the broadcasts from "Quakemaster" who claims to have caused the earthquake. When he realizes that the villain is avoiding words that contain the letter B, he deduces that the Quakemaster is actually a known bad guy who has a lisp.

* [[Richie Rich]] once told Cadbury of his distinctive difficulty pronouncing the word "ventriloquist". It later proves critical for Cadbury to realize that [[Something They Would Never Say|the Richie with him is an impostor when he says the word correctly]].

 

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[Hot Shots]]! Part Deux'' has this one: "On October 15, the President of the United States ordered a covert mission in the Persian Gulf for the purpose of rescuing soldiers taken hostage during Desert Storm. Only a handful of our highest government officials were aware of the operation, as it included an attempt to assasssan... assisss... kill a guy. "

** Bonus points because it was supposed to be an intro word crawl, in which it is completely stupid to have a misspronunciation.

* [[Finding Nemo|"You live in what kind of home?" "An an-emone-mone...an am-nem-o-nem-o-mne!"]]

* The second ''[[An American Tail]]'' movie has Tiger with "<s>A spy</s>- <s>A spee</s>- <s>A spididid</s>- An arachnid!"

** possibly a subversion, since 'arachnid' is arguably ''harder'' to say than what he was originally trying to say: 'spider'.

* Roscoe, in Tod Browning's ''[[Freaks]]''.

{{quote| '''Everett:''' [[Blatant Lies|Well, we are negroes, sir]]. All except for our ac-c-c- our ac-c-c- uh, the man who plays the guitar.}}

* [[Colin Firth|King Albert VI]] in ''[[The King's Speech]]''.

== [[Literature]] ==

* ''[[Dave Barry]] In Cyberspace'' compares reading typewritten documents to "listening to Porky Pig try to complete a sentence" because of all the mistakes that have to be crossed out.

 

== [[Live Action Television]] ==

== [[Video Games]] ==

* During the end credits of ''[[Star Control]] 2'', while the game shows funny fake outtakes of conversations with the aliens, the Khor-Ah tries to give an intimidating speech but ends up failing to spell the word "Annihilate". It then gets REALLY upset and demands to speak to whomever wrote his script.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* [http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/22797.html#cutid1 From a parody of Metal Gear Solid 2], we have a character introduce himself as "Shashalashka! I mean Shalashishka. Lashashaska. Shiska - OCELOT."

* An outtake from ''[[The Guild]]'' shows Tinkerballa having trouble with the word "women". After about five takes she finally replaces it with "girls".
