History BlindIdiotTranslation / WebOriginal

* Due to a mishap in the installation of his speech chip, Lopez the robot in ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' only speaks Spanish. And roughly at the level of a C student in a second semester course, at that: his pronunciation and grammar, though intelligible, are horrendous. This may be attributable to RuleOfFunny, though.

* Lopez from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' only speaks Spanish, which is subtitled as English for the viewers. Problem is, none of ''Creator/RoosterTeeth'' speak the language, so they used Babelfish. The results can get somewhat odd for actual Spanish speakers. For example, when Lopez supposedly says '[[RunningGag son of a bitch]]', he's actually saying 'Madre de Dios', or 'Mother of God'.

** The sbemail "little questions" was written by a Swedish fan who spoke very little English. Strong Bad, naturally, made fun of this, and proceeded to respond in an equally Engrishy manner, with subtitles explaining what he actually meant. Then at the end, he makes a BlindIdiotTranslation of his own, translating his own name literally into Swedish as "Stark Dålig". The problem is that "Dålig" means "bad" as in "of poor quality" - a better choice would have been "Elak".

* The Website/AgonyBooth recapper of the film ''Toomorrow'', a 1970 vehicle for the Olivia Newton-John-fronted band Toomorrow, [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Toomorrow_1970.aspx found]] that the film was so obscure the only extensive online summary he could lay his hands on was in Dutch. Providing the Google Translate version furnished the interesting and unexpected fact that ''olivia'' translates from the Dutch as "by means of", which made the summary of the film sound as though poor Miss Newton-John was being used to accomplish all sorts of things by the other characters.

* The [[https://youtu.be/0dHGVF2syAQ?t=2m22s response]] by the developers of ''Skate Man Intense Rescue'' to a ''{{Jimquisition}}'' video critiquing their ObviousBeta game is rife with this. Jim's only response is StunnedSilence.

** For an example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5eZV3-B-FE a clip from SpongebobSquarepants]] turns a conversation about how to get Patrick an award to what seems like a clip from Patrick running for a government position in the US.
