* In one episode of ''WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou'', after spending so long complaining about news writers opening up stories with terrible puns, Nash opens on a news article about a woman flinging poop at a police officer by berating the writer for opening with a poop-related pun...[[HypocriticalHumor while inadvertently making one himself.]]

-->'''Nash''': *about the woman claiming she was targeted for being latina* [Flinging poop] isn't Latino culture! It's asshole culture!

'''Nash''': *FacePalm*

In the 2006 adaptation Film/CharlottesWeb, she is now named Gussy, and has a husband named Golly. She sends him on an errand to "find out what's going-oing-oing on over there."

Kira snaps "Will you ''please'' stay off this official line?" and winces.

-->'''Nash''': This is written by the aptly named Charles Hack, whose very first line of the story — shit you not — is "Holy crap!"
-->'''Tara''': [[LampshadeHanging You just did it, too.]]
-->'''Nash''': What? "Shit you not?" Oh! AAAAAH! Jesus Christ!
-->'''Tara''': It's contagious!

Norbert accidentally picks up on his rhyming habit, which magically [[BalefulPolymorph converts]] him into the Yak's [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul brainwashed]], Seussian slave.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'' provides a meta-example. The game's [[BlindIdiotTranslation hilariously unnatural dialogue]] was delivered by Native English speaking voice actors. These actors, however, had been living in Japan for some time and thus got used to the locals' {{Engrish}}. By the time they were cast, none of the lines they were asked to say sounded strange to them. And the rest is history.

* In the story mode of ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever'', Amitie discovers her friend Lidelle is also looking for Ms. Accord's flying cane. Lidelle has a stutter that catches onto Amitie by the time she asks her to go easy on her in their puyo match.

* Shiroe, the protagonist of ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'' and its main adaptations, has a CharacterTic where he [[AdjustingYourGlasses pushes his glasses]] up the bridge of his nose. Several other glasses-wearing characters adopt it very quickly, and by the end of the second season of the anime, it's spread to characters ''who don't even have glasses.''

* ''Film/BlackWidow2021'' has Yelena mocking how Natasha loves a ThreePointLanding. Sure enough, when Yelena leaves an air vent hideout [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdqfxThuFrE she does exactly that]].

[[folder:Live-Action TV ]]

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** In "Hollow Pursuits", Lt. Barclay is given the nickname "Broccoli" and many in the crew start using it. Captain Picard finds out and orders that the crew stop using the phrase, as it's insulting and un-Federationlike. Later on, Picard [[FreudianSlip unthinkingly]] calls Barclay "Broccoli" to his face, and is extremely embarrassed when he realizes what he's done. He doesn't say this trope's catch phrase, but it's clear he's thinking it.

* Creator/ShaunMicallef on ''Series/TalkinBoutYourGeneration'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-seaeBZBmA accidentally slipped into]] a speech pattern more characteristic of the [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent bizarrely-accented]] Josh Thomas on at least one occasion.
* Creator/StephenFry gets tripped up in an episode of ''Series/{{QI}}'':
-->'''Stephen:''' You don't get many Majors manager-ing...English football teams anymore.
-->'''Alan:''' Or indeed sexing.
-->'''Stephen:''' Or indeed sexing.
-->'''Ross Noble:''' I love the fact that you did one impersonation of me, and now you can't use grammar at all. It's like, 'next week's QI has been cancelled. Noble has infected Fry's brain.'

* In an episode of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Sheldon finds new friends when he wants to be the center of the group. Barry Kripke is one of them.
-->'''[[ElmuhFuddSyndwome Kripke]]''': I'm Bawwy Kwipke and I'm here because you told me there was gonna be a whaffle. When is the whaffle? \\
'''Sheldon''': Patience, patience, Barry. The whaffle- *ahem* The raffle is the grand finale to an evening-long festival of fun and folly.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'':
** An old sketch has Creator/ChristopherLee as [[Theatre/MyFairLady Henry Higgins]] attempting to cure the [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome speech impediment]] of Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa. It not only doesn't take, but he develops the impediment himself.
** When Music/MileyCyrus hosted the show in 2011, she played Music/JustinBieber in a ''Miley Cyrus Show'' sketch to Vanessa Bayer's Miley. Vanessa!Miley eventually got Bieber!Miley to say the sketch's "prrretty cool!" catchphrase, in spite of "Justin"'s initial objections.
** On the first ''[[Series/{{Jeopardy}} Celebrity Jeopardy!]]'' sketch, Sean Connery misreads the category "'S' Words" as "Swords". Alex becomes so frustrated by Burt Reynolds doing the same that he also accidentally calls the category "Swords" as well.

'''Buffy:''' Careful. You're starting to speak like me now.

** And when the gang investigate fish monsters in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E20GoFish Go Fish]]":
--->'''Giles:''' If you're saying these killings aren't random, it would suggest someone's out for revenge.\\
'''Buffy:''' And raise the possibility that someone brought forth this sea monster from whence it came to exact that revenge. ..."From whence it came"? I'm spending ''way'' too much time around you.

'''Beckett''': She crrry--she cried?
** In this scene, Stana Katic's mimicking the rolled "R" was unscripted, but became a ThrowItIn moment.

* In the ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E21Ragtag Ragtag]]", Coulson and May go undercover as R&D scientists applying for jobs within the dubious [=CyberTek=] Corporation, with their team's two ''actual'' scientists feeding them lines via hidden radio mics.

As long as you rhyme\\
Your brain I will '''[[MindControl bind]]'''...

* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': Very often, Heffer is mistaken for a cow (he's actually a steer). At one point, in "The Good, the Bad, and the Wallaby", Hef even mistakes ''himself'' for a cow, but one of the cattle corrects him.
