* ''ComicBook/ContestOfChampions:'' In Vol.3, a frustrated Bullseye (an alternate version of Elektra) starts muttering about how everyone else is an idiot in Greek. Her companions include Ares (''Greek'' god of war), White Fox (trained spy), and Guillotine (French diplomat's daughter), all three of whom reveal they speak Greek as well. The only person present who doesn't is Outlaw, who's utterly lost.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': One of the students of Class 1-B, Pony Tsunotori, who is [[ButNotTooForeign half Japanese and half American]]. Unlike similar characters in other anime/manga, Japanese is explicitly not her first language. So not only does she speak poor Japanese with an accent, often substituting Japanese words for Enlgish ones, she is also noted to switch to speaking English whenver she is angry or upset.

* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': Mari Makinami loudly giving [[spoiler:Kaworu]] a very loud dressing-down over her cellphone for subjecting her to a rather undignified experience with cross-continental teleportation probably counts as one of these despite the fact she is still ''technically'' speaking the language the story is written in, because she has a tendency to lapse into her native dialect when angry or excited and even fluent English speakers struggle with broad Scouse.

Sometimes a character comes from a country other than the one the show is set in, but contrary to the [[FunnyForeigner typical portrayal of foreigners]], he speaks the language just fine. However, every so often, events get under his skin to such an extent that he can't think through how to say what he's trying to say in the language of the show, and instead simply launches off on a [[BilingualBonus rant in his native language]]. Common enough in [[TruthInTelevision real life]] as well. Likely to involve [[ForeignCussWord Foreign Cuss Words]] in the middle (perhaps some that [[PardonMyKlingon aren't even from Earth]]), but it's perfectly possible to have a completely clean rant as well. Angry kin trope to EloquentInMyNativeTongue.

* In ''Webcomic/CityUnderTheHill'' often M.T. will slip into Polish cussing, this usually occurs when paperwork overflows, Seamus is hurt, or Slim exists.

* ''Seikon No Qwaser'': Sasha, a Russian, absolutely fails at bowling in one episode ([[EpicFail gutterballs across all ten frames for a grand total of zero points]]) and explodes into a rant of Russian {{Angrish}} offscreen.

* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' episode "Feeding Frenzy" Jake's dad [[YourMom insults Grandpa's mother]] in Norwegian thinking he won't understand him. Unfortunately, Grandpa also knows Norwegian.

* There's a doozy in French in the early chapters of Paul J. Gillette's ''roman a clef'' ''Carmela'', about post-UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo European and American {{Opera}}. Carmela Londra is a Sicilian peasant who's already a brilliant singer in her early teens. She hoaxes her way into an exclusive Roman music school where a snotty clique mock her in French, knowing a working-class southerner doesn't understand it. Another student charges up to the Film/MeanGirls spitting (literally, she [[SpitefulSpit spits on the floor]] in front of them) ''Votre gueule!'' ("Shut the fuck up!"). Continuing in perfect, polished French, she repeatedly calls them bullshit-spreading whores, calls the AlphaBitch "the mother superior" and "the queen of bullshit", informs her that "if your singing is anything like your insults, you'll be the fucking phoenix of all the whores in the world!", and employs what turns out to be her favorite oath, "''Sacre bite de Dieu!''" -- Holy God's dick!" None of this is ever translated, you have to know French to understand her. All the more shocking for coming out of this obviously well-bred, highly cultured girl. Her name's Ida Angioia, she's a Neapolitan mezzo-soprano with a genius IQ, and she becomes Mella's lifelong friend.

* Sour Cream from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' angrily rants to his father Marty in the IntelligibleUnintelligible gibberish his stepfather and younger brother speak in the episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E7DropBeatDad Drop Beat Dad]]."

* Kiara Takanashi of WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} is fluent in German, English, and Japanese, and has been known to [[SirSwearsALot swear extensively in all three]]. One notable example was when she became so upset by TheReveal in ''VideoGame/AWayOut'' that she spent several minutes bouncing back and forth between silent TranquilFury and ranting in German while her co-host Calliope Mori (who doesn't speak German) nervously tried to calm her down.

* Stella appears to do this at least once on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'', though the other time she speaks Greek, it's got a friendlier meaning.

* Amy Wong from ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' will sometimes start cursing in Cantonese when she gets angry. And since her voice actress, Creator/LaurenTom actually speaks it it's authentic too.
