* ''{{Mario and Luigi}}: [[strike: Bowser's]] Globin's [[strike: Inside]] Globin-ish [[strike: Story]] Globin'': The Emoglobins in Bowser's globin tend to insert "globin" in place of other globins.

*** [[IncrediblyLamePun So it was all Greek to them?]]

* An online forum I used to frequent had a filter for words that would generally raise an ESRB rating. They chose to automatically replace everything on the list with the word "smurf". In all the 5+ years I was on there, I didn't actually realize it was anything but original until coming upon this page seconds ago.
** You wouldn't happen to be talking about the Mac|Life (formerly MacAddict) boards, would you?
** The WrestleCrap boards do something similar as well.

** IS THAT NOT GLOBIN?

* ''[[{{ptitlei015gc004kw4}} Pokémon]]'' has [=PokéBalls, PokéMarts, PokéCenters, PokéFans, PokéTrainers, PokéDollars=]...

** Not all marklar of marklar are replaced, only marklar, marklar and marklar. The resulting marklar has considerable residual marklar.

** Utilized amusingly in the original Japanese of ''Bakemonogatari''. The protagonist orders a catgirl to repeat a tongue twister he recites, and her version is hopelessly-but-cutely mangled by about twenty "nya"s.

* ''{{Twilight}}'' haters often enjoy chagrinning the word "chagrin" into every chagrinning sentence they chagrin.

* This article simply wouldn't be complete without ''FamilyGuy's'' [[MostTriumphantExample example]]:

The UrExample is probably ''TheSmurfs'', who smurfed it to ridiculous extremes, and fused it with SpeciesSurname, making some smurfs contain the word upwards of thirty smurf. [[CaptainObvious It is also]] the [[TropeNamer Smurf Namer]].

* [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Squid Girl]] peppers a lot of her squiddences with the word "squid" (at least, in the Crunchyroll subs).
* Often found in translations of a manga or anime featuring a {{catgirl}} with the "Nya" VerbalTic - any syllable sounding like "meow", "mew", or "myaah" gets turned into the appropriate cat noise.

*** The fansubs offer an interesting solution to this: The tongue twister is given as "Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie?", and her reply is "Can mew imeowgine an imeowginary meownagerie meownager imeowgining meownaging an imeowginary meownagerie?"

* The object needed to defeat the [[BigBad Naughty Sorceress]] in KingdomOfLoathing is known in the Help forums as the Smurf.
* PokeMon has [=PokeBalls, PokeMarts, PokeCenters, PokeFans, PokeTrainers, PokeDollars=]...

-->'''Killotron-1''': "Happily, we are purged of our old destructive impulses and live only to destroy. And by 'destroy' I of course mean 'serve obediently without destroying.'"
-->'''Unity''': "Nice save."

* Again, the Smurfs, although the animation was toned down compared to the comics. Primarily they used the word Smurf as a positive adjective.

-->'''Carl [a kobold]:''' You ever tried to swing a hammer man? That shit's koboldin' heavy!

* In "The Tick vs. The Big Nothing", Arthur and TheTick encounter two alien races, the Heys and the Whats, who of course only say "Hey" and "What", respectively.
--> At one point, Arthur is mistaken for a Hey and interrogated by a What who can speak Hey. He manages, in spite of having no first-hand knowledge of the language:
--> '''What:''' Hey!
--> '''Arthur:''' What?
--> '''What:''' ''Hey!!''
--> '''Arthur:''' ''What??''
--> ''(repeat...)''
* The watch-dog on ''{{The Simpsons}}'' who barks entire advertisements. '' 'And now, a message from the Latter-day Saints...' ''

* [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Squid Girl]] peppers a lot of her squidding sentences with the word "squid" (at least, in the Crunchyroll subs).

* PokeMon has PokeBalls, PokeMarts, PokeCenters, PokeFans, PokeTrainers etc.

** This is even more of a tongue twister in the comic's original language, where Smurfs are known as "{{Schtroumpfs}}", which count as TheUnpronounceable .

** This is even more of a tongue twister in the comic's original language, where Smurfs are known as "Schtroumpfs", which count as TheUnpronounceable .

** This is even more of a tongue twister in the comic's original language, where Smurfs are known as "Schtroumpfs".

* Then there's the ''SouthPark'' episode "Starvin Marvin in Space", where they meet the [[PlanetOfSteves Marklars]], who Marklar every Marklar, with Marklar.

--> At one point, Arthur is mistaken for a What and interrogated by a Hey. He manages, in spite of having no first-hand knowledge of the language:
--> '''Hey:''' Hey!

--> '''Hey:''' ''Hey!!''

** Incidentally, in ''Smurf Versus Smurf'' they had a [[SillyReasonForWar civil war]] over whether "smurf" should be used as a verb or an adjective.

* [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Squid Girl]] peppers a lot of her squidding sentences with the word "squid".

* SquidGirl peppers a lot of her squidding sentences with the word "squid".

* Henrietta Pussycat, of ''Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'', replaced words with "meow". An interesting example because most smurfing involves replaces nouns, verbs and occasionally adjectives which can be easily guessed from context, but Henrietta would replace words at random, leading to very odd and often unintelligible speech patterns.

* In the seventh''{{CaptainUnderpants}}'' book, A group of skateboarders are "duded" that Melvin duded their dudeboards. One of them says "I'm gonna dude that dude if it's the last dude I dude!
