* The author of ''FanFic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'' canonically named the character [[{{Kawaiiko}} Lapinyuu]] after an intentional GratuitousJapanese mishearing of "loving you".

* The song performed by Taiga in ''VideoGame/ProjectSekai'' had a bunch of Mondegreens, one of them being Caucasian Destination, causing the overhyped song to be called "Caucasian Destination" by the fandom.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode ''Five Short Graybles'', BMO refers to their imaginary friend 'Football'. Due to the character's heavy accent, many fans have misinterpreted it as 'Fuppo'.

* Young viewers of ''WesternAnimation/JoJosCircus'' are prone to mishearing the name of [=JoJo's=] pet lion Goliath as [[ADogNamedDog The Lion]].

* "Gay Luigi" from ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' ("Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picni''c, eh Luigi''?"), by way of ''YouTubePoop''.
** And "Gay Bowser" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' ("So lon''g, King Bowser''!").

* ''Series/{{Castle}}''[='=]s Richard Castle was named deliberately so that when people yelled his nickname, "Rick Castle!", it sounded like "Rick Asshole!". He isn't that bad, really, just a bit dangerously charming. It's Creator/NathanFillion - the guy is JustForFun/MadeOfWin.

* The song perfromed by Taiga in ''VideoGame/ProjectSekai'' had a bunch of Mondegreens, one of them beeing Caucasian Destination, causing the overhyped song to be called "Caucasian Destination" by the fandom.

* Young viewers of ''WesternAnimation/JojosCircus'' are prone to mishearing the name of Jojo's pet lion Goliath as [[ADogNamedDog The Lion]].

* Music/{{ABBA}}'s "Summer Night City" includes the repeated phrase "walking in the moonlight", which at the end was infamously misheard by numerous people as "fucking in the moonlight"; this garnered so many complaints that [[https://books.google.ie/books?id=20nSDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT115&lpg=PT115&dq=%22summer+night+city%22+%22fucking%22&source=bl&ots=9kidocWGDy&sig=ACfU3U2I0hX7RVLPZgcz2zQG0t2r77CAkw&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22summer%20night%20city%22%20%22fucking%22&f=false Epic Records released an edited version which faded out before the offending line]].

* Website/YouTube game reviewer Grimbeard, in his video on ''Literature/TheRing: Terror's Realm'', refers to the player character as Egg after mishearing her introductory line. Without subtitles, her pronunciation is just ambiguous enough to sound like either "I'm Egg," or "I'm Meg." He corrects himself when he gets to scenes that ''are'' subtitled, but eventually decides she doesn't deserve the name Meg and goes back to calling her Egg.

* "Gay Luigi" from ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' ("Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picni''c, eh Luigi''?"), by way of ''WebAnimation/YouTubePoop''.

** "Weegee" from the PC version of ''VideoGame/MarioIsMissing!'' is a similar case to "Gay Luigi" and has also seen usage on WebAnimation/YouTubePoop

* Similarly, the Mexican National Hymn, being written in somewhat archaic Spanish, is full of these; the most prominent example being the creation of the fictional "General Masiosare". The name came from the line "Más si osare un extraño enemigo/ profanar con su planta tu suelo" ("Though if a foreign enemy dared/ sullying your land with their sole"),in which the first words are pronounced in one go, making it sound as "Masiosare un extraño enemigo" ("Masiosare, a foreign enemy"). The expression has been [[MemeticMutation adopted by the people]] to refer to any unknown enemy or suspicious stranger as a "Masiosare".

* ''Manga/{{Akira}}'''s character Kaneda was nicknamed "Canada" by fans following the [[NoPronunciationGuide pronunciation of his name in the dub]] that sounds like the name of the country.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode ''Five Short Graybles'', BMO refers to their imaginary friend 'Football'. Due to the characters heavy accent, many fans have misinterpreted it as 'Fuppo'.

* ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'''s "[[https://xkcd.com/1704/ The Legend of Gnome Ann]]" pairs this with NoManOfWomanBorn, providing the current page image for both tropes.

* Similarly, the Mexican National Hymn, being written in very ancient Spanish, is full of these; the most prominent example being the creation of the fictional "General Masiosare". The name came from the line "Más si osare un extraño enemigo/ profanar con sus plantas tu suelo" ("Though if a foreign enemy dared/ sullying your land with their soles"),in which the first words are pronounced in one go, making it sound as "Masiosare un extraño enemigo" ("Masiosare, a foreign enemy"). The expression has been [[MemeticMutation adopted by the people]] to refer to any unknown enemy or suspicious stranger as a "Masiosare".

* Inverted with Fegelein in many ''WebVideo/HitlerRants'': The original scene has Hitler [[PunctuatedPounding repeatedly pound his desk]] as he demands Fegelein be found, the GagSubs subtitling whatever word they need repeated.

* When she was [[UsefulNotes/PrimeMinistersOfAustralia Prime Minister of Australia] ], Julia Gillard would refer to opposition Tony Abbott as "Mister Abbott", but ran the words together so it sounded like she was saying "Mister Rabbit". (Opinion is divided on whether this was a deliberate slight or merely a product of her unusual Welsh/Australian accent.) Many of Abbott's detractors took to referring to him as 'Mister Rabbit'.

--> '''Witness:''' Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.\\

* Still in Latin America but in Portuguese, the Brazilian National Anthem has Elvira do Ipiranga, from the
opening line "ouviram do Ipiranga" (they heard from the Ipiranga - though the first two lines show it's actually [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker a syntax-shifted]] "the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipiranga_Brook Ipiranga's]] heard").

* ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'' introduced to us "Dustin Echoes", after a line where Cortana responds that all that's left is "just dust and echoes." {{Creator/Bungie}} even joked about this on their commentary for the cutscenes!

* ''Videogame/StreetFighterII'' had an ''official'' case, but written instead of audio, as Ryu's defeat quote was mistranslated from "You must defeat my {{Shoryuken}} to stand a chance" to "You must defeat [[https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Sheng_Long Sheng Long]] to stand a chance". Hence a manual for the SNES port mentioning Ryu and Ken being trained by "Master Sheng Long" and for a while there was a UrbanLegendOfZelda that Sheng Long was hidden in the game. (for fan cases, in Brazil there is "Alex Full", derived from Guile's Sonic Boom, and the immortal "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWOe8tQecSc Tiger]] [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/35054649@N07/4920970702/ Robocop]]", a mishearing of Sagat's Tiger Uppercut)
