Chevalier's accent (which was actually specific to Paris and not any other place) has in fact become a stereotype for the French variant of FunnyForeigner. Whenever a comedian pretends to imitate a Frenchman he is indirectly mimicking the way Chevalier spoke English in his native Parisian accent, including his famous ''"hon hon hon"'' laugh. It has become such a StockParody (to the dismay of many modern French folks), comparable to PoirotSpeak and MockCousteau, that we even included a page for it and [[TropeNamer named it after him]]: the MauriceChevalierAccent.
