* ''ComicBook/{{Commando}}'' uses this. All of the characters, regardless of nationality, appear to speak English even if there are no native-English speakers present. Exclamations such as "''Himmel!''" and "''Mein Gott!''" and insults such as ''"Dummkopf!"'' and ''"Schweinhund!"'' usually go untranslated, however.

* ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' does this extensively, since many of the albums have the characters travel to non-Francophone countries. ''[[Recap/TintinTintinInAmerica Tintin in America]]'' had a variation on this, where Americans sometimes begin to speak with English phrases such as "How do you do" and "Good morning" before this trope sets in.
