-->'''Fire:''' Whoa, whoa, back up. "''Crash'' in my ''crib''"?
-->'''Mary Marvel:''' Too street?
-->'''Fire:''' Next to you, Laura Bush is too street.
-->'''Mary Marvel:''' That's what Booster said. Not in so many words, but —

-->'''Mary Marvel:''' Booster Gold? Y'know — our teammate?
-->'''Fire:''' Yes, I believe I've heard of him. Now what exactly did our dear teammate tell you?
-->'''Mary Marvel:''' That I was too... retro. That I needed to... how did he put it? Get down with my boogie parts and —
-->'''Fire:''' That's enough.

-->'''Designer:''' Now, you'll like these, you'll really dig them. They're fab and all the other pimply hyperboles.
-->'''George:''' I wouldn't be seen dead in them. They're dead grotty!
-->'''Designer:''' "Grotty"?
-->'''George:''' Yeah, grotesque.
-->'''Designer:''' (''to assistant'') Make a note of that word and give it to Susan...

-->'''Morgan''': It's been pretty busy around here.

* Greg Proops (aka Proop-Doggy-Dog) sometimes does this on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', especially in one game when he's told to act like a "goofy white guy desperately trying to act street".

* In ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves'', Bentley tries to brief Dimitri on a diving mission, and attempts to sound like him. After sadly failing, Dimitri responds with, "My speech is like smoke! All over the place, but ungrabable!"
** Afterward, he tells Bentley to "come at him with some turtle talk".

* Creator/{{Cracked}} satirized Creator/QuentinTarantino's cringeworthy appearance on Creator/{{BET}} to promote ''Film/DjangoUnchained'': "[[http://www.cracked.com/video_18536_quentin-tarantino-bad-at-talking-to-black-people.html Quentin Tarantino Is Bad at Talking to Black People]]"

* In ''Series/HappyEndings'', Dave does this a lot in a season 2 episode, mostly about playing basketball with [[BlackBestFriend Brad]] and then all throughout the episode. He even lampshades how lame he sounds, and Brad asks him to stop.

** ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'', [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs11.html Issue 11]], where Camp Counselor Shortshorts tries (and fails) to impress What's-her-Face and The Ugly One:

* In ''VideoGame/Splatoon2: Octo Expansion'', when you first meet an AI telephone, it speaks formally to you at first, but when it detects 12.42% communication efficiency, it decides to switch to "Contemporary Speech Mode". What follows is what happens when a computer attempts to speak in slang, as the telephone not only keeps mixing up metaphors, but it occasionally says things like "[SLANG NOT FOUND]" and "[ERROR]" where such words should go.

* Aang from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' was doing this while under disguise in the Fire Nation. He kept calling everybody "hotman" and saying "flameo", to the confusion of everyone around him. Apparently the terms had become outdated during his 100-year nap in the iceberg.

** An episode had a child psychologist studying the kids in the field. She introduced herself saying "wazzup, homeys" and "mind if I hang with your posse".
** Another episode has Miss Grotke introduce a friend of hers dubbed a "slangologist" who used a load of slang words none of the kids could understand.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' when Lil's friend comes to pick her up for a party Howard says "well I too think you look awesome...and rad".

* Phineas tries this in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''... however, it doesn't go over so well (much to his disappointment and acknowledgement), ranging in confusion from his peers.

** Dr Cox tries to talk to a 16 year old girlfriend with the following speech. It's one of the rare times he's not being sarcastic.

* Parodied in an episode of ''Series/EightSimpleRules'' where we get introduced to a [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy wigger called Anthony]] who uses street lingo which Paul can't understand. At the end of the episode Cate uses the same lingo to make fun of him.
* ''Series/HannahMontana'' had a dentist greet Miley with a lot of outdated 70s slang.

* In one episode of ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'', Robert picks up some street slang and starts saying things like "That's wack." Raymond points out: "We're Italian, "whack" means [[TheMafia something totally different]] to us."

Not to be confused with LikeIsLikeAComma.

* ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'', [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs11.html Issue 11]], where Camp Counselor Shortshorts tries (and fails) to impress What's-her-Face and The Ugly One:
-->'''Camp Counselor Shortshorts:''' Now before you ask, "Who's this square?", listen to this: Scha-wing! Not! Who let the dogs out?!
-->'''The Ugly One:''' Buh-
-->'''What's-her-Face:''' -arf.

* Dexter of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' does this in the episode "Average Joe", where he becomes convinced he's not a genius because an intelligence test he took in school came back "average", so he tries to act like an "average" kid by hanging out with some random guy his age and talking like this.

* ''XMenEvolution'': Forge can't help it that his slang's outdated, he's been in stasis since the 1970s. Nightcrawler comments on it anyway.

--> '''Nostalgia Critic:''' Whoa, wait a minute. Is Wonderland -- oh, sorry, ''Underland'' -- getting...''jiggy''? I think it is! [[Film/ReeferMadness Boy, he ain't no Paperman! He really swings out with the mess of jive!]] Oh my god, I haven't seen anything this ''crunk'' since I saw Music/VanillaIce [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us0HMWVPv_M crackin' to the tune of macaroni and cheese]]! O-ho-ho, Hatter, you be ''dope!''\\

* In ''Disney/{{Enchanted}}'', Robert's girlfriend Nancy tries to be hip with his daughter, Morgan...
