7	-->-- '''Elmer Fudd''', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', the {{Trope Namer\|s}}
8
9	The condition where characters (especially [[TheCutie the cute ones]]) talk with the L's and R's replaced with W's in their words, along with the softening of hard suffixes such as "-er." In RealLife, the condition of replacing R's with W's is called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotacism_(speech_impediment) rhotacism,]] a term that must have been constructed specifically [[{{Irony}} to make those who have the condition unable to say it without invoking it]]. Similarly, it's more likely than not that a character with Elmuh Fudd Syndrome will have a name containing at least one "L" or "R", making it impossible for them to say their own name properly.

23	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSsswr6z9Y AWAHHN BUHH]] {{Justified\|Trope}}, in that his mouth was full of peanut butter, and there was no milk to wash it down.
24	* Could switching to Advertising/{{GEICO}} really save you 15% or more on car insurance? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pBM6qhMnsw Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter "R"?]]
25	-->'''Elmer Fudd:''' Shhh! Be vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!\
26	'''Director:''' Okay, cut! It's "I'm hunting rabbits," Elmer. Let's try that again. ''[Elmer nods]''\
27	'''Elmer Fudd:''' Shhh! I'm hunting wabbits!\

33	'''Elmer Fudd:''' ''[stalks off]'' Aww, dis diwectuh's stahting to wub me da wong way!
34	* The casting of a man with rhotacism as the public face of Ruberoid No-Rip Roofing Felt must have been deliberate.

37	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
38	* Nina from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''...which only makes [[spoiler:her death]] [[TearJerker.FullmetalAlchemist that much sadder.]]
39	* In the English translation of ''Manga/BlackJack'', Pinoko talks like this. She also slurs her "s" sounds, for the record.
40	* Used by the titular character in the official English translation of the ''Manga/ChisSweetHome'' manga. In the original, Chi's speech was apparently modeled after Tweety Bird, with the "d" sound replaced with "r", "ru"s are now just "u"s, and "shi" becomes "chi". For example : "desu" becomes "resu" and "miruku" turns into "miuku".
41	* [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Clara]] in ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish''.
42	* The tall, imposing headmaster of the Black Dogs from ''Manga/BoardingSchoolJuliet''. His listeners have a PhraseCatcher for him because of it: "I have no idea what he's saying." However, if he starts badmouthing his SitcomArchnemesis, the White Cat headmistress, he speaks normally.
43	* Marin Kitagawa from ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'' ends up pronouncing "suki" as "chuki" when she internally {{Squee}}s over Gojo; in turn, the subtitles translate this as "wuv" instead of "love", which is also carried into the English dub. It's worth noting that in the manga, she has [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/21/37/6721370a50151a7db76d44693c912b34.jpg a tongue piercing,]] which might have something to do with it.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Comic Books]]
47	* ''ComicBook/DCMeetsLooneyTunes'': {{Parodied\|Trope}} by Elmer Fudd himself in the ''ComicBook/BatmanElmerFuddSpecial'', featuring Elmer Fudd and several humanized ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters transposed into the gritty world of [[ComicBook/BatmanTomKing Tom King's run of Batman]]. The comic plays the neo-noir crime drama aspect of ''Batman'' completely straight, with Fudd [[DarkerAndEdgier giving deadpan and surprisingly poignant internal monologues]] as he hunts down the Batman, ''[[TheComicallySerious all with the speech impediment]].''
48	-->''"Sometimes the wain comes down so hawrd you forwget you've ever been dwy. I twy to see it, out there in the past or in the future, wainbows waiting. Going into Powrky's that day, I twy my best to wemember. I weawy do. Things wewen't awways this way. They won't awways be this way. I twy my best, and the water seeps in, mowlding my coat onto my shotgun, and I stop twying, and I head inside. My name is Elmer Fudd. [[CharacterCatchphrase I'm hunting wabbits. Shhhhhhhh...]]"''
49	* ''ComicBook/HowardTheDuck'': Winda Wester, with L's, hence the name.
50	* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': Walter the Wobot talks like this for no good reason, and is apparently completely unaware of it.
51	-->'''Judge:''' There's no Judge Dwedd on the force, robot.\
52	'''Walter:''' Walter not say Judge Dwedd, Walter say Judge Dwedd.
53	* ''Kane'': The hitman Frankie from the crime series, a CaptainErsatz of ''ComicBook/SinCity'''s Marv. Justified in that his target is [[RuleofFunny a guy in a rabbit suit]].
54	* ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'': Cebolinha (Jimmy Five) from the Brazilian comic, though exchanging just "R" - and not the whole time (in the original, he exchanges "R" for "L" - except when the words end with that letter, e.g. the totality of Portuguese verbs). In English translations, the speech impediment is the normal Elmer Fudd thing with the W.
55	** Chico Bento (Chuck Billy) title character of a spin-off of Monica's Gang, also has rothacism, he changes the "L" for the "R", this is a regional characteristic of "caipira" (a Brazilian equivalent of hillbilly).
56	* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'': The ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'' arc "Widowmaker" featured vengeful widowed mob wife Bonnie [=DiAngelo=], who ''weally'' misses her ''woly-poly teddy beaw Awtie''. This seems to be an actual speech impediment, rather than a cutesy affectation -- she talks like this even when playing DecoyDamsel to lure Frank into an ambush, and while [[ClusterFBomb furiously]] ranting at Frank when the trap is sprung.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Comic Stwips]]
60	* ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'': Hunter.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Fan Wowks]]
64	* ''Fanfic/AngerManagement'': Carlitos, and Lynn when she's mocking Lincoln, pronounce their "R"s as "W"s.
65	* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Played with and indirectly lampshaded in "The Mall" by Rhino when Bolt [[CongestionSpeak starts talking funny after he catches a bad head cold.]]
66	-->'''Rhino:''' ''[giggling]'' Boy, don't you sound hilarious! Kinda like a bizarro world version of Elmer Fudd or something.\
67	'''Bolt:''' ''[sneering peevishly]'' Very fuddy! Veeeery fuddy! Dod't bake fud of be, or I'll… I'll… ahh-ahh-ahh-CHOO!... I'll sdeeze all over you! That'll show you!
68	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9963013/28/He-s-Not-Dead-Yet He's Not Dead Yet]]'' Harry sabotages Voldemort's rebirth ceremony, making him come back as a human-wombat hybrid. One of the Death Eaters' attempts to fix it results in this trope.
69	-->'''Voldemort:''' Wewll, at weast I can stiwl cast a pwopah Cwucio.
70	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14054052/1/Gobsmacked Gobsmacked]]'' Voldemort starts talking like this after Harry throws a Weasley prank product into his mouth. While he's busy finding out that mispronounced Unforgivables no longer work, Harry turns him into a budgie.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Fiwm -- Animated]]
74	* Gussie Mausheimer in ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''. This leads to problems when she declares that they need to organize a rally. She's voiced by Madeline Khan, who reprised her Lily von Schtupp voice from ''Blazing Saddles'' (mentioned below).
75	* Edmund from the Creator/DonBluth film ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' talked like this, reading to his [[MemeticMutation memetic]] mishearing, "Jeepers, IMMA [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom FUWWY]]!"
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Fiwm -- Wive-Action]]
79	* Mr. Medulla as a baby in ''Film/SkyHigh2005''.
80	* The Impressive Clergyman of ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. "''Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togetha today!''"
81	** '''"I AM DE DWEAD PIWATE WOBERTS!!"''' -- of course, this was [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant actor induced]]; not character-related.
82	* Pontius Pilate in ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'': "I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviow. Silence! You call yourself Pwaetowian guards?"
83	** (In reference to [[PunnyName Biggus Dickus]]) "Wanks as high as any in Wome."
84	** With the syndrome, he can easily make a wrong meaning out of a sentence:
85	--->'''Pilate:''' So, your father was a Woman?\
86	'''Brian:''' No, no, ''Roman''.
87	* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'': Lily von Schtupp. "It's twue, it's twue!"
88	** "Excuse me...you're sucking on my elbow."
89	* Robert in Creator/PeterJackson's ''Film/MeetTheFeebles''.
90	* ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'': The Red Queen. This isn't the first time that Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter [[Series/Merlin1998 played such a character]].
91	* Sasquach from JB's hallucination in ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny''.
92	* Judy in ''Film/ShakesTheClown''.
93	* An up-and-coming boxer and Air National Guardsman in the movie ''Film/WeekendWarriors'' has this going on.
94	-->'''Captain Cabot:''' ''(calling roll call)'' [=McCracken=]!\
95	'''[=McCracken=]:''' Heah, suh!\
96	'''Cabot:''' Did I pronounce that correctly?\
97	'''[=McCracken=]:''' Absowutewy cowwect. [=McCwacken=].
98	* ''Film/TheChargeOfTheLightBrigade'' depicts several British cavalrymen using such accents (eg. "Wussians," "Gwey, sneaky coluh!"). See also the ''Flashman'' entry under literature.
99	* In ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'', Richmond Valentine has a noticeable lisp rendering his diction somewhat mangled, especially compared the erudite Kingsman agents. Oddly, he professes the opposite to be true saying he finds it hard to understand his opposition as they "all talk thso funny".
100	* Elizabeth's incredibly irritating Cousin Bella in ''Film/TheBarrettsOfWimpoleStreet'' (1934), meaning that this trope predates Elmer Fudd himself by at least three years.
101	--> "We're going to Pawis on our honeymoon! Then Wome!"
102	* In the Muppet Babies fantasy sequence in ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan,'' Baby Rowlf talks like this. It didn't carry over to [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies the babies' own cartoon series]], though.
103	* Woody, in ''Film/SlaughterhouseRulez'', has a distinct case of it, although it never really makes a difference plotwise. He just sounds a bit funny.
104	* In ''Film/HobokenHollow'', Weldon Broderick speaks like this, but it disappears when he drops his ObfuscatingDisability.
105	* ''Film/TheKingsSpeech''. King George VI has this tendency though it's obscured by his general difficulty in speaking. Notable in the climatic speech he gives where he does this on some of the r's but not others, which he's able to talk through using the techniques he's been taught. Afterwards the King says he fluffed them deliberately so his audience would know it really was him speaking.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Jokes]]
109	* This joke:
110	-->"Knock Knock."\
111	"Who's There?"\
112	"Dwayne."\
113	"Dwayne who?"\
114	"Dwayne the bathtub, I'm dwowning!"
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Witewatuwe]]
118	* The [[OneSceneWonder Impressive Clergyman]] from ''Literature/ThePrincessBride''. Peter Cook faithfully does it for [[Film/ThePrincessBride the film]]:
119	-->'''Impressive Clergyman:''' Mawwidge. Mawwidge is what bwings us togevvah today. Mawwidge, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam wiffin a dweam. And wuv, twue wuv, wiw fowwow you fowevah and evah? So tweasuwe youw wove? Have you the wing?
120	* Parodied in the Literature/{{Discworld}} book ''Hogfather'', where Susan tells [[DeliberatelyCuteChild one of the children in her charge]] to stop doing this, claiming that exaggerated lisping should be a hanging offense.
121	** Interestingly, Creator/TerryPratchett himself also speaks with a touch of this.
122	** And Jeremy Irons' version of Havelock Vetinari does it, too. Not that it detracts from his intimidation factor.
123	*** Oh, you wascawwy Wincewind. It's the awena foah you!
124	** In ''Literature/{{Thud}}'', the curator of the museum impresses Colon with his accent when he reports the burglereah -- it's not so much speech as modulated yawning.
125	--->''You could hardly understand him, he was that posh.''
126	* ''Literature/HoowayForWodneyWat'' is a children's book by Creator/HelenLester centered solely on this trope. Rodney Rat has this kind of speech impediment which causes him to [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer be disliked by his classmates]], until he uses it as a ChekhovsGun to outwit TheBully, Camilla Capybara, to the delight of the west of the class. This was followed up with ''Wodney Wat's Wobot'', in which Camilla Capybara weturned, but was again outwitted.
127	* In ''Tickle Amongst the Cornstalks'' by Bob Bishop, lady Charlotte has this impediment (an unusual case of a LoveInterest afflicted with this).
128	* In the {{Literature/Flashman}} series, Lord Cardigan, a historical figure has this accent, representing the British UpperClassTwit version. For instance, whenever he says the protagonist's name,, it's spelled phonetically as "Fwashman".
129	** Like much of ''Flashman'', this is TruthInTelevision (if not necessarily for Cardigan himself). Many aristocratic British officers, especially in the cavalry, ''deliberately'' affected such an accent to set themselves apart from lower class officers.
130	* In Jack Scheffield's book series, Nora Pratt speaks like this.
131	* In the third installment of the ''Howl's Moving Castle'' series, ''Literature/HouseOfManyWays'', Howl disguises himself as a young boy named Twinkle who talks in an overbearing lisp. Needless to say, it drives Sophie mad.
132	* Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/TheEncyclopedists": The foppish Imperial diplomat Lord Dorwin normally speaks in a high-class English accent. When he views a book-film on archaeology during his tour of the Foundation, Salvor Hardin is amused to notice that Dorwin is so honestly excited that he "[[OohMeAccentsSlipping pronounced his r's]]".
133	* The cavalry hussar, Denisov, from Tolstoy's ''Literature/WarAndPeace'' has this quirk. English translations tend to pweserve it.
134	* Silas Heap in ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'' is mentioned to sometimes invoke this when he's telling stories.
135	* Creator/KimNewman's Literature/DiogenesClub series:
136	** Recurring character Richard "Clever Dick" Cleaver suffers severely from this problem. As Richard Jeperson, one of the Club's greatest special agents, thinks to himself: "How cruel was it to give a speech impediment a technical name sufferers couldn't properly pronounce?" When he's a precocious ChildProdigy in "Literature/ClublandHeroes" and ''Literature/TheHauntingOfDrearcliffGrangeSchool'', the rhotacism would almost be endearing if he weren't such an arrogant jerk. When he still has it as an adult EvilGenius in "Literature/ColdSnap", it's much less charming. When he first appears in "Cold Snap", his speech seems almost normal, because he's taking care to avoid words with R sounds in them; as he gets more worked up, his attention slips and his speech impediment becomes increasingly apparent.
137	** A minor character in "Literature/TheGypsiesInTheWood" is a stuck-up little girl named Becky d'Arbanvilliers, who has trouble with her Rs. The fairy changeling comments mockingly that it must be hard to be named Rebecca "and yet pwevented by nature fwom pwonouncing it pwoperly". The notes at the back of ''The Secret Files of the Diogenes Club'' reveal that Cleaver is her nephew.
138	* Carla gets hit with this in ''Literature/TheRedAndTheRest'' when she ends up [[spoiler: with her soul placed in a completely new, non-human body.]]
139	* In the ‘’Literature/RamonaQuimby’’ books, little Willa Jean Kemp talks this way as a toddler. Her teddy bear’s name is Roger, but she calls him Woger, and it takes effort for Ramona not to call him that too. She outgrows her speech impediment by age four, though.
140	* ''Literature/GoblinsInTheCastle'': In ''Goblins on the Prowl'', Bwoonhiwda speaks in this manner, always replacing her "R"s and "L"s with "W" when she speaks. She's ''very'' frustrated when people have a hard time understanding her as a result, and takes considerable offense when people make jokes that rely on her speech impediment (as Igor learns the hard way when she says that "We must sweep!" and he responds with "Can't sweep! Got no bwoom!"). She later explains to Fauna that her parents had the same problem, which is why her name really ''is'' Bwoonhiwda and not Brunhilda, as Karl initially assumed when she first introduced herself.
141	* ''Literature/HarrysMad'': Fweddy, the Holdman family's second parrot, can't pronounce the letter "R" in their words and replaces them with "W"s, which inspires their name.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Wive-Action TV]]
145	* Baby Bear on ''Series/SesameStreet'' has this impediment. Considering his name and age, it makes sense.
146	* As does Junior Gorg on ''Series/FraggleRock''.
147	* Ruff's newphew Glen from ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'' talks like this, possibly because of his age and/or because of his braces.
148	* An episode of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' saw Colin Mochrie use this when he had to play a TriggerHappy Huntsman during a game of Weird Newscasters.
149	* Barry Kripke from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. Also of note is that no matter how much of a JerkAss he is to the main cast, nobody responds by making fun of his speech.
150	** Once Sheldon did (unconsciously) [[GotMeDoingIt imitate his speech]], but realized it and corrected himself.
151	** Raj unknowingly asked what part of America Barry's accent was from.
152	** One episode has him get an iPhone 4S, and not being able to understand why the voice recognition software (Siri) wouldn't work for him.
153	--->"Not westauwant, ''westauwant.''"
154	** In episode 7x10, Sheldon does finally make fun of Kripke's speech, but Kripke is able to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmgbQN542W0 trick Sheldon into apologizing, and then insults him.]]
155	* The club singer from an episode of ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses''. Del only discovers this, of course, when he's already on stage and singing Roy Orbison's "Crying"...
156	-->'''Raquel:''' Oh yes, Derek, we saw it through to the death. "Please Welease Me", "Congwatulations" and "The Gween Gween Gwass of Home"!
157	* In the miniseries vewsion of ''Series/Merlin1998'', Morgan le Fay talks like this.
158	-->'''Morgan:''' I want the cwown. Get me the thwone.
159	* Hector in the 1997 miniseries based on ''Literature/TheOdyssey''.
160	* In an episode of ''Series/TheWestWing'', C.J. had an emergency root canal that caused her to (temporarily) talk like this.
161	-->'''C.J.:''' YOU COMPWETWY IMPWODED!
162	* Angel Batista of Series/{{Dexter}} has a bit of one of these due to his actor's very thick Cuban accent.
163	** "I'm wetiwing to open a wesauwant."
164	* Rick Pratt from ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' has difficulty with "r" but not "l" (a childhood problem of his actor, Creator/RikMayall) and it only serves to highlight what a petulant whiny prick he is. It is particularly noticeable in the theme tune when he says "Shouldn't be afwaid."
165	* Series/{{Frasier}} had a temp help out on his radio show once, with this problem. He related a tragic tale about how he lost his wife in the Caribbean. She ran away with a Rastafarian. Roz, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent listening from her sound booth in the background,]] was simply dying at the sound of his "rife wunning aray rith a Wastafarian".
166	** Used again with a live radio drama Frasier was directing. Roz had to have emergency dental surgery that day, and arrived on set with a collection of impediment from the numb mouth that included this. "I can't bewieve that one of our guests could be a... (resigned) mubable muhberber [multiple murderer]."
167	* The [[Series/HoneyIShrunkTheKids TV show]] based on ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' featured Fwuffy, a robotic teddy bear that is infected with a computer virus. Fwuffy plans to take over the world. His use of this trope even carries over into his spelling. When Nick has to guess his password, it ends up being ''destwoy''.
168	* From the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial ''The Twin Dilemma'', Romulus and Remus, known to the fans as Womulus and Wemus.
169	* ''Series/CosmosASpacetimeOdyssey'' depicts Michael Faraday speaking like this as a child in "The Electric Boy", which the teacher considers a caning offense. His mother takes him out of school rather than let this happen.
170	* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' has Tom Servo do this in his attempt to be cute at the end of Jack Frost, making Mike and Crow unable to understand what he's saying.
171	* An episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' has Rose in the hospital having suffered an esphogeal spasm, but she's convinced she died briefly and went to Heaven, where she met up with one of her relatives from St. Olaf who spoke in this way due to being hit in the mouth with a steam shovel.
172	* In an episode of ''Series/JustShootMe'', Nina temporarily gains this during a television interview on lipstick when she has an allergic reaction that causes her lips to swell up (even though she doesn't realize it until the host holds a mirror up to her face:
173	-->'''Nina:''' Let's say you have thin wips, and you want fuwwer ones, you start out with a much bwighter shade of wipstick. Such as, oh, a wed or even a cwanbewwy, take it to the vewy outer edges of your wips and voiwa, wips no man can wesist. ''(she sees her face in a mirror)'' Howy cwap!
174	* ''Tumbletown Tales'': Tumbleweed the hamster sometimes slips into this.
175	* The second, shorter policeman in the Season 4, Episode 6 of ''Series/RoundTheTwist'' - ''Face the Fear'', speaks like this.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Music]]
179	* 2D from Music/{{Gorillaz}} has a mild case of this. It goes away completely when he sings, for obvious reasons.
180	* Most English songs from 1980's German singer Nena, in particular "99 Red Balloons": "to wuwwy, wuwwy, supah scuwwy, caw the twoops out in a huwwy..."
181	* Music/LadyGaga's song "Bad Romance" features her, after [[BilingualBonus singing most of the bridge in French]], sing "I don't wanna be fwiends..." Strangely, this is the only time in that song she comes down with Elmer Fudd Syndrome. The ''very next'' repetition of the line is sung normally. This may be explained by the use of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttural_R guttural R]] in German and French, which can sound like w to an English speaker.
182	* Matt Bellamy, the lead singer/guitarist/pianist of the British rock band Music/{{Muse}} has a touch of this. It's more noticeable when he talks, but it often slips into his singing too. [[https://www.youtube.comr/watch?v=pzpGk44UXKQ A particulawly noticeable example is in Muse's performance of "Time is Running Out" at Wembley in 2007]]. This lisp, particularly Bellamy's pronunciation of the word "proper" (which comes out more as "pwopah"), has become a bit of a meme.
183	* Jan Terri has a noticeable case of this in her music videos.
184	* Stephan Jenkins of Music/ThirdEyeBlind has a tendency to do this, and during their smash hit "Jumper" clearly says "fwiend" instead of "friend" and "secwet" instead of "secret" at different points.
185	* Trevor [=McNevan=] of Music/ThousandFootKrutch tends to sing like this. It's noticeable in songs like "Let the Sparks Fly", "Light Up the Sky", and "War of Change".
186	[[/folder]]
187
188	[[folder:Newspapew Comics]]
189	* The {{Trope Namer\|s}} appears in a strip from ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', being lectured by an employer about his speech.
190	-->'''Employer:''' The problem, Mr. Fudd, is that you've been having a subliminal effect on everyone in the factory. We're proud of our product, Mr. Fudd, and there's no company in the world that makes a finer skwoo dwivuh... Dang! now you GotMeDoingIt!
191	[[/folder]]
192
193	[[folder:Wadio]]
194	* ''Radio/ThatGoshDarnHippieShow'': Anthony tawks wike this. This isn’t a part of his DeliberatelyCuteChild façade, he just genuinely can’t pronounce his Rs and only sometimes manages his Ls.
195	[[/folder]]
196
197	[[folder:Tabwetop Games]]
198	* The TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness crossover game ''Midnight Circus'' features this as a notable attribute of [[MeaningfulName Bishop]], the [[MonsterClown Head Clown]]. Given Bishop's [[SeriousBusiness religious dedication to comedy]] and tendency to preach, his speech impediment is ''very'' audible throughout his performances.
199	-->Not many people know this, but Jesus, Confucius, the Buddha and all other howy men were actuawy vewy funny...
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	[[folder:Video Games]]
203	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ_FSVWR6ZE Doctor Light]] in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''. This is regularly mocked by the fandom.
204	-->"Dese?? Seem ta be enuhgy weesawssis. But Ah've nevah seen diss type on Oyth! I dunno wheh diss enuhgy came fwuhm, but we can't let it faww into Doctah Wahwee's hands! You must find all deh enuhgy immedily [[AccidentalMisnaming W--Mega Man!]]"\

207	'''Translation:''' We may be able to locate another energy emission from the radar room! When we find that meteor, we'll find Dr. Wily!
208	* Due to the bad sound compression, it sounds as if Zeus from the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis port of the arcade classic ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988'' is telling the players to "[[RiseFromYourGrave Wise fwom yo gwave]]!"
209	* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' has a boy called Biwwy (Billy). He speaks like this. He offers to sell you his Wazer Wifle. When you buy the Wifle, you realize that it's the gun's ''actual'' name! It's better then a "Laser Rifle" (Though Billy also calls those Wazer Wifles).
210	** He doesn't even notice his speech impediment:
211	--->'''The Lone Wanderer:''' Stop talking like that. No one thinks it is cute.\
212	'''Biwwy:''' Stop tawking wike what? You'we weiwd.
213	* Handel and Greta from the ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' series fit this trope, with one interesting twist: the fact Handel's English ''deteriorated'' to Elmer Fudd English from ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' to ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'': while Greta speaks Elmer Fudd throughout both games, Handel actually speaks normal English in ''Ripto's Rage'' but is speaking Elmer Fudd in ''Year of the Dragon''. Did he get younger, or did she just [[GotMeDoingIt get him doing it]]? ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy'' has Handel speak in normal English in the remake of ''Year of the Dragon'', so it's probably an error.
214	%% * Pip from ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''.
215	* Lily from ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' is a Downplayed case, as while she can speak normally, there are phrases and words that veer to this, prounouncing daddy as "dadda", the Fatui as "Fatooey", story as "stowy", and Barbatos as "Papa Toes".
216	* The announcer from ''VideoGame/SambaDeAmigo'' during the opening logos ("Pwesented by Creator/{{Sega}}, heh heh.").
217	* ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' has a few examples, like the traveling merchant in [[VideoGame/FableI the first game]] who offers to sell you a present for your sister's birthday, Murgo the Trader in [[VideoGame/FableII the second game]], and Reaver's butler Hatch [[note]]though this example is mainly due to the voice actor Jonathon Ross; see Real Life[[/note]] in [[VideoGame/FableIII the third game]].
218	* [[http://www.wowhead.com/npc=34828 Kala'ma]] in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' is a troll hunter with an impediment caused by a nasty scar on his lip. Be vewwy quiet, he's hunting waptors. And is also hilarious. The PC can help him out by "pwacing waptor twaps."
219	-->'''Kala'ma:''' Be caweful with the waptors, they can be wewy wewy smawt. Last week two hewd me down while a thiwd beat me with a stick.
220	* The Tax Collector in the PC version of ''VideoGame/TheSecretIslandOfDrQuandary'', who challenges you to "pway" a game of Tax Factor before he'll let you cross his bridge.
221	* Chaos Cultists from the original ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar''. This eventually gave birth to the fan-character Cultist-Chan. "Hwee hav captoored eet for kay-oss" indeed.
222	* The title character of ''One Day for Ched'' talks like this.
223	* The voice acting in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'' seems to have a bad case of this, from Ryu's (or Ken's) "Awwight!!" to the level completed spiel:
224	-->"What stwength! But don't fowget dere awe many guys wike you awe ovah da wawld!"
225	* Father Karras, the big bad of ''VideoGame/ThiefIITheMetalAge'' is revealed to talk like this. This speech impediment combined with his fanaticism actually makes him all the more unnerving.
226	* In ''VideoGame/EricTheUnready'', you encounter a pastiche of [[Film/BlazingSaddles Lily von Schtupp]] who speaks like this... and while you're in her area, all your commands and inventory item names suffer from the same effect.
227	* In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', this is how Monomi's VerbalTic of "-chu" is rendered in the fan translation, as a way of emphasizing the childish way she speaks.
228	* ''VideoGame/ManaSeries'':
229	** Charlotte in ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' speaks in a very childlike way in Japanese. To capture this, the English localization replaces her Ls and Rs with Ws. This is exacerbated in the [[VideoGameRemake remake]] where her voice actress gives her a Harley Quinn-esque accent.
230	** Sotherbee in ''VideoGame/LegendOfMana'' replaces his Ls and Rs with Ws in the English localization.
231	* In the English version of ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris2'', Klug and Lidelle, who otherwise speak normally, have alternate voice packs that cause them to speak like this.
232	[[/folder]]
233
234	[[folder:Web Animation]]
235	* Catbug from ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'', although this is mostly due to his voice actor being so young.
236	* WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'s Himemori Luna is subtitled like this as a substitute for her "-nanora" VerbalTic in Japanese.
237	* WebAnimation/HomestarRunner, who admits "I have twouble with my aws" in a "Puppet Jam" session with Music/TheyMightBeGiants. (But his L's are fine.) His counterparts, Homsar, 1-Up and The Homestar Runner don't suffer from this.
238	* [[GenialGiraffe Giwaffe]] from Creator/{{Ukinojoe}}'s ''Great: The Show 9'' speaks like this. Even the name of his short, ''Giwaffe and Cwow'', references this.
239	[[/folder]]
240
241	[[folder:Webcomics]]
242	* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' has Dwagons, and Spidews, and Twolls, and Gobwins and Hobgobwins; a [[TrappedInAnotherWorld person from our world]] lampshaded it. [[GrotesqueCute And called it cute]]. Appropriately, our words sound equally weird to Erfworld's residents (or at least to Stanley).
243	* In [[Webcomic/BobAndGeorge the Rockman Universe]], [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/021116 Dr.Right]] [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/021118 is continuously]] [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/021119 made fun of by Bob for this.]]
244	-->'''Bob:''' [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/021117 "Say rascally rabbit!"]]
245	** Became HilariousInHindsight with ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' under Video Games.
246	* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'''s Sedgewick got his ''name'' from this.
247	* Nobody Nose in ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital''.
248	* ''Webcomic/ForestHill'': Hunter talks like this. It's very cute.
249	* Beeps from ''{{Webcomic/Sparklecare}}'' has it pretty bad.
250	* The Sphinx of Truth from ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'' resembles a winged kitten and talks like this, making it impossible for the Activity Club to take her seriously. Of course, there is a GilliganCut between her stating she will destroy them and being trounced by the kids, so they weren't wrong.
251	-->'''Sphinx of Truth:''' Don't dwaw your bwade unwess you're weady to wisk your wife, yiddle girl.

254	[[folder:Web Owiginal]]
255	* @BBCBweaking is a twitter feed that takes breaking news updates and rewrites them into Elmer Fudd speak.
256	* Lolcats: [[WebOriginal/LOLCats LOLspeak]], the language of the lolcats, includes a lot of this.
257	* Even [[http://www.google.com/intl/xx-elmer/ Google]] suffers from this.
258	* Several [=LPers=] with not-that-good diction have this:
259	** LetsPlay/{{Medibot}} has a slight case.
260	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJZ7Ajr4Bjs Hi dow! Wememwer me? I'm Wocket Weisar... ...You beat me in EGO Eisin. I fuu I was best!]]
261	* Prolific [[Creator/HPLovecraft Lovecraft]] online audiobook reader Morgan Scorpion. See how much cosmic terror you feel when you hear the words "Gweat Owd Ones".
262	* [[http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/ Da Diawecticizer fwum WinkWooks]] has an Elmer Fudd dialect.
263	* [[https://funtranslations.com/ Fun Translations]] has Elmer Fudd speak.
264	* Creator/TeamStarkid production ''Theatre/{{Starship}}'': Bugette
265	* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''
266	** Dartz, since he is an {{Expy}} of Coiffio from ''WesternAnimation/PerfectHairForever''.
267	** The villain, Paradox, from the ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'' movie suffers from this type of speech as well. Justified, he mentions that Dartz is his great-great-grandfather.
268	* Dramatic reader of shlock fanfiction ''Manwithoutabody'' has one when speaking naturally, though ditches it for a LargeHam British voice when reading.
269	* Youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g Isaac Arthur]] draws on his military background and science education to explore scifi tropes, particularly regarding futurism and space exploration. He also speaks with rhotacism, clarifies that he has a speech impetiment and not an accent, and [[SelfDeprecation lampoons himself]] by adding a figure of Elmer Fudd advising listeners who don't understand him to turn on the closed captions.
270	* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Bear has this speech impediment to make him more like a cute kid.
271	* In the ''Music/MitchBenn Uninterrupted'' video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3IJ5RQ6bRs Fun With Accents]]", Mitch says this is particularly common in the South of England because it's the only English-speaking region where "R" is pronounced with the lips.
272	[[/folder]]
273
274	[[folder:Web Video]]
275	* ''WebVideo/FishtankLive'': Jon has a SpeechImpediment that keeps him from pronouncing R's correctly, which is a common source of mockery for viewers.

278	[[folder:Westewn Animation]]
279	* The {{Trope Namer\|s}} is WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' fame.
280	** Fudd's voice actor, Arthur Q. Bryan, actually talked like this in some of his radio and film roles before voicing the character. One of the few times he used his real voice was playing a hotel guest in the Daffy Duck short "A Pest in the House".
281	** The Looney Tunes short ''WesternAnimation/WabbitTwouble'' plays with this during the opening by listing "Supewvision: [[Creator/BobClampett Wobewt Cwampett]]".
282	** Parodied in ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', with a strip where Elmer loses his job at the "scwew dwivuh" factory.
283	** His spiritual successor, [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Elmyra Duff]] doesn't have this speech impediment however.
284	** Among other ''Looney Tunes'' characters, [[WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird Tweety]] talks with Rhotacism, most notably his signature line, "I tawt I taw a puddy tat." Translated, of course, is "I thought I saw a pussycat" – which one time, Sylvester did say at least once.
285	* In the animated series of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleRascals'', it sounded as if Creator/PattyMaloney was doing this in her portrayal of Darla Hood.
286	* Shows up in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', in a game wherein Enzo plays the part of, basically, Elmer Fudd.
287	* Randall, the snitch from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', suffered this speech impediment when he was in kindergarten (as seen in one of the episode featured on the video ''Recess: All Growed Down'').
288	* Ming-Ming of ''WesternAnimation/WonderPets''. Then again, she is supposed to be the equivalent age of a three-year-old.
289	** Apparently, Creator/DanicaLee talked this way when she was cast for the role, and they decided to continue it for the character even after the actress outgrew it.
290	* ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'':
291	** A segment had [[WesternAnimation/WonderPets Ming-Ming]] partake in a spelling bee and spell her catchphrase "serious" with a "w" instead of an "r", to which the judge, Elmer Fudd himself, declares correct.
292	** Elmer stars in a ''Series/BodyOfProof'' parody entitled "Body of Pwoof". His dialogue is hard for the other doctors to understand, so they hire a translator, [[WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird Tweety]], who has it even worse than Elmer, and then Tweety's translator is the Tasmanian Devil, whose dialogue is incomprehensible.
293	* Scuffy the Tugboat in the ''WesternAnimation/LittleGoldenBookLand'' special.
294	* Franklin's sister Harriet on ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}'', though she eventually outgrows it.
295	* In one third-season episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', Lamilton Taeshawn likes to "smoke wit' cigawettes."
296	* Eileen "The Birthday Girl" from ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'', who talks with a lisp in order for people to give her whatever she wants.
297	* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''. Parodied with a CousinOliver who pretends to have an endearing speech impediment - and has copyrighted it for himself.
298	* 2D of Music/{{Gorillaz}} has a mild case of this in his speaking voice, combined with a heavy Cockney accent. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh6FLWUrCPc Here's a sample.]] Of course, it goes away completely when he's singing, due to being voiced by different people for singing and speaking.
299	* WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'s sister Rosie. Apparently, she outgrew it sometime after ''Caillou's Holiday Movie''.
300	* Webwa Walters, a reccuring news reporter in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.
301	* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Talespin}}'' episode "Waiders of the Wost Tweasure" plays with this. A character afflicted with this tells Baloo about the "[[spoiler:wuby wings]]", which he naturally assumes means "ruby rings". [[spoiler: It actually turns out to be a pair of ruby ''wings'' that inexplicably [[PowerGivesYouWings actually grant the wearer the ability]] [[{{Flight}} to fly.]]]]
302	* Octus starts talking like this in ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'' upon watching and mimicing a children's cartoon, until Lance tells him to stop.
303	* The 1968 [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Cool Cat]] cartoon "Big Game Haunt" featured a WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost expy who speaks in Elmer Fudd-ese.
304	* Krazy in the 1960s AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat''. (In the original comics Krazy had a rather bizarre FunetikAksent, but no dropping of Rs was involved.)
305	* Coiffio from ''WesternAnimation/PerfectHairForever'' went back and forth on this. He could pronounce "grooming" but couldn't pronounce "tree".
306	* Strawberry Shortcake's little sister, Apple Dumplin', in the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series.
307	* Supporting character Honewdew Sorbet from ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity'' talks like this due to being a baby.
308	* Barbra Warbler from WesternAnimation/{{Animalympics}}.
309	* In "All Pupa'ed Out" from ''WesternAnimation/MissSpidersSunnyPatchFriends'', Cookie the caterpillar matures out of both this and ThirdPersonPerson in the space of just a couple days.
310	* ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' had a recurring villain called Napoleon Brie, who always talks this way. HilarityEnsues in "The Motor City Maniac" when Greasepit misinterprets Brie's threat to take away Limburger and his minions' lives as "wives".
311	* [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scrappy-Doo]] had this upon his debut, but it was dropped after a couple of years.
312	* ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' has Zuma, yet again due to his equivalence to a five-year-old. Fittingly, [[DisabledCharacterDisabledActor his voice actor]] also had it. Subverted since eventually as the voice actor changed, he loses it.
313	* William Li from ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'' has this impediment. Considering he's a toddler, you expect him to have this kind of impediment.
314	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}},'' Fabian Kingsworth, egocentric head of the clandestine IIA, has this.
315	* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': The episode "Sidekick Scouts" introduces Combo Breaker, a parody of Manga/AstroBoy who has rhotacism as one of his many exaggerated cutesy traits.
316	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zeroman}}'': One of Zeroman's one-time villains, and said villain's henchwoman, spoke this way.
317	* Downplayed with Haunter from ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'', who took inspiration from Creator/TerryThomas. Peter Cullen lent the character subtlety: in most cases, only the ''first'' "R" in a given word is pronounced as a "W," and the "L" sound is pronounced normally. For example, "terrifyingly" comes out as "tewwifyingly" instead of "tewwifyingwy."
318	* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'': Cow is young and thus has that speech impediment.
319	* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': The episode "Flower Power" has Bird Brain derive a SuperSerum from a rare flower that gives him incredible strength as well as a full head of hair, but has the side effect of making him pronounce his R's as W's.
320	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Tiny Nose (Tinella Nosa) speaks this way, though her voice actress Creator/DanaTerrace doesn't. In "Sense and Insensitivity", the manuscript she hands over to Piniet is even labeled "My Stowy". Though in her case, her speech impediment is not necessarily a sign of stupidity.
321	-->'''Tiny Nose:''' I gwaduated fwom medical school!
322	* WesternAnimation/AndyPanda’s father Poppa Panda talks like this in the cartoons “100 Pygmies and Andy Panda” and “Crazy House”, but not in any other cartoons he appears in.

325	[[folder:Weaw Wife]]
326	* The proper term for the misarticulation of R sounds is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotacism "Rhotacism"]] ; the corresponding term for mispronouncing L's is 'lambdacism". They're two separate speech disorders you wouldn't necessarily expect to coexist in an adult ({{Trope Namer\|s}} excepted) although [[BabyTalk most under-6s and some older children]] have trouble with both sounds.
327	** Note that rhota''cism'', the speech disorder, isn't to be confused with non-rhoticness as a dialect feature. Although English speakers with rhotic accents (eg, General American, Canadian, Irish) tend to characterise non-rhotic speakers (most Southern English people, Australians, [[HahvahdYahdInMyCah some New Englanders]]) as "not pronouncing their R's", they actually do at the beginnings of words and between vowels. A British Elmer Fudd would still noticeably mispronounce "vewwy" and "wabbit" compared to his compatriots, although they wouldn't notice anything wrong with words like, well, "Elmuh".
328	* Professional wrestler and actor Wrestling/AndreTheGiant had a case of this. It also made him even more difficult to understand on top of his very thick French accent and deep booming voice.
329	* Jojo Siwa used to speak like this. It still slips in occasionally.
330	** According to [[WordOfGod JoJo herself]], she considers it a defining feature of herself and doesn't plan on correcting it anytime soon.
331	* Creator/JonathanRoss. Also fondly known as [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Wossy "Wossy"]].
332	* Contrary to popular belief, Barbara Walters is a subversion. She was famously parodied by Gilda Radner on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' as "Baba Wawa". However, Barbara has '''never''' talked that way. She has always been able to pronounce her Rs.[[note]]Furthermore, Barbara has stated for the record that she hated it.[[/note]] Nevertheless, one Baba Wawa sketch parodied ''Theatre/MyFairLady''. By the end of it she's not only not cured but has passed her condition on to Henry Higgins (Creator/ChristopherLee!). During her [[http://www.hulu.com/watch/4252/saturday-night-live-not-for-ladies-only interview]] with Marlene Dietrich, she's portrayed by Madeleine Khan.
333	* ''Series/DoctorWho'' writer and script editor Creator/TerranceDicks. "Gween! The colour f'monsters is gween, f'some weason."
334	* Longtime Celtics broadcaster Bob Cousy, leading Creator/BillSimmons to say "It's a good thing Cousy doesn't call Red Sox games where he'd have to pronounce Trot Nixon's name."
335	* 1930s actress Creator/KayFrancis had some trouble with her 'R's and L's and was known around the Paramount lot as "the wavishing Kay Fwancis".
336	* Art critic John Berger.
337	* US politician Barney Frank.
338	* British politician Roy Jenkins. Like Roy Hodgeson, invariably called "Woy" in tabloid headlines.
339	* Novelist and biographer, Peter Akroyd.
340	* American boxer Creator/MikeTyson.
341	* British TV historian Creator/LucyWorsley, whose official day job title is, unfortunately, "Curator of Royal Palaces".
342	** Another British TV historian, Kate Williams.
343	* Dutch people attempting to speak English tend to do this, because in Dutch, syllables can only start with a ''rolling'' "r". The English "r" does exist in the language, but only at the end of a syllable. Some southern Dutch/Flemish accents use more of a German-style "r" sound instead, making it much easier for the speakers to adapt to the English sounds.
344	* Several Slavic languages, notably Polish, Kashubian (in the Pomeranian region located in northeastern Germany and northwestern Poland near the Baltic Sea), and Sorbian (in the Lusatia region of eastern Germany near the Polish border) have the dark "L" with a ''kreska'' diacritic mark through the middle (Ł, ł), which has a "w" sound (like the "w" in "water"), as distinguished from the regular clear "L" consonantal sound (as in "lion").
345	* [[JapaneseRanguage Cantonese lacks the "r"]], so many Hong Kong natives can't pronounce it right. The common substiture is "w", while "l" and the occasional "n" may arise, usually depending on the word, and what is deemed to be closer in pronunciation.
346	* Watch a decent number of videos with the dialect in use, and you'll quickly find out that Indian English speakers tend to have trouble pronouncing the letter V, instead substituting it for a W; thus, "Virus" becomes "Wirus", and "Vet" becomes "Wet".
347	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmMsWRa71G8 Jeremy Crispo]].
348	* Biochemistry textbooks sometimes encourage this trope to help students associate the amino acid Tryptophan with its rather arbitrary one-letter abbreviation, W ("Twiptophan").
349	* Manager of the English national [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] team, Roy Hodgson, pictured above, was mocked by the British press using this when he was appointed.
350	* Actor and bodybuilder Creator/LouFerrigno. A JustifiedTrope, as Ferrigno is deaf.
351	* Bulgarian powitician Mihail Mikov has the L variation, resulting in sentences such as "pwease wower the vowume a wittwe bit".
352	** This speech pattern is actually the so-called Western accent in the country, typically regarded as the equivalent of Cockney accent or Kansai accent. It is parodied in a song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hURMxjVQBH0 Skakauec]] ("Gwasshoppew"/Grasshopper) which is made up mostly of words pronounced with ElmuhFuddSyndwome at the L's.
353	* At least some NASCAR drivers (present and former) out of the South Boston, Virginia area have this trope to a greater or lesser degree (thanks to this being a regional accent of the area). Ward Burton is...particularly infamous for having a very strong version of the "South Boston Accent" to the point it pretty much 'is' Elmuh Fudd Syndwome.
354	** Wawd is not exactly helped as--post retirement from racing--he's gone very much into outdoor conservation and hunting/fishing type activities...
355	** Ward wants to tell everyone how Carolina Tractor was giving away a brand new [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyGbR_aSAG4 "Cat Skurd Skeer bleh bleh bleh Looduh."]] [[FunetikAksent Ahl yew gotta do's go see dat]] [[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']] [[FunetikAksent guyh ovah deer.]]
356	* Brazilian Portuguese often pronounce the final "l"'s as "w"'s.
357	* Creator/TerryJones
358	* Also, some people choose to remember that the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is usually referred to as IEEE 802.1w in this way.
359	* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gascoyne-Cecil,_5th_Marquess_of_Salisbury Robert "Bobbety" Gascoyne-Cecil]], [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever 5th Marquess of Salisbury]] was famous in his time both for being a high-ranking minister in several mid-century Tory Cabinets and for his complete inability to say the sound "r".
360	* British writer and broadcaster Frank Muir. He was supposedly fond of referring to important but unpopular dignitaries as "high ranking".
