* Kaere/Kaede Kimura of ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' fits into the typical [[Foreign Fanservice]] image and has a type two [[Eagle Land]] characterization, particularly her frequent threats to sue people. However, she falls into this because of her ridiculous claims about her (never named) home country, and a couple of episodes reference the fact she pretends to speak English, but actually barely knows a single word, and was only briefly outside of Japan. When he first meets her, Majiru [[Mouthy Kid|Itoshiki]] actually calls her a "blond fake foreigner".

* The DJ in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''Revelation of the Daleks'' broadcasts an American-style radio show with an American accent, but really speaks with a British one in private conversations with Peri and when making snide comments.

* Johnny Vong in the ''[[Castle]]'' episode "Sucker Punch" is a Harvard-graduate from California who took the accent of a Laotian immigrant and made millions selling a [[Rags to Riches]] success story {{spoiler|and heroin}}.

* {{spoiler|1=The ''maitre d''' of the Chinese restaurant}} in ''[[Persons Unknown]]''

* Barney on ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' once pretended to be an Estonian street performer to convince Marshall and Lily to start trying for a baby.
