* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' animated series, Dick's habit of back-forming words due to a fascination with prefixes leads to his teammates picking up his 'whelmed' and 'aster' on occasion, though they're usually aware that they're doing it.
** It actually gets to the point where Red Arrow uses 'whelmed' in dead-serious context. No one even blinks. It's just that ingrained into their vocabulary.
** And as Outsiders has shown us, even the [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]] is not immune.

* Shiroe, the protagonist of LightNovel/LogHorizon and its main adaptations, has a CharacterTic where he [[AdjustingYourGlasses pushes his glasses]] up the bridge of his nose. Several other glasses-wearing characters adopt it very quickly, and by the end of the second season of the anime, it's spread to characters ''who don't even have glasses.''

* You know how the goose from Literature/CharlottesWeb has an interesting VerbalTic of repeating syllables on random words, right? In the 2006 adaptation Film/CharlottesWeb, she is now named Gussy, and has a husband named Golly. She sends him on an errand to "find out what's going-oing-oing on over there." Golly, who does NOT normally have that tic, flies to Wilbur and begins, "What's going-oing-oing... um, hey kid, what's going on over here?"[[/folder]]

'''Mr. Weatherbee''': Jughead's off on a rhyming kick. (next panel) See what I did that time? I made it rhyme! We're dead! We're dead!
-->'''Ms. Grundy''': Omigosh! How far do you think has it spread?
-->'''Mr. Weatherbee''': There's no way of telling, once it's begun.
-->'''Ms. Grundy''': It's all my fault, I taught Jughead that rhyming was fun!

-->'''Buffy:''' It's like all the hellmouth's energy is trying to escape in that one little spot, and it's getting all...
-->'''Wood:''' Focusy?
-->'''Buffy:''' Careful. You're starting to speak like me now.

-->'''Angel:''' She's a slayer. She has every reason to hate us, and she's unstable. In her mind, there probably aren't any good vampyres. ({{Beat}}) ''Vampires.''

-->'''Giles:''' If you're saying these killings aren't random, it would suggest someone's out for revenge. \\

* Anything or anyone in professional wrestling referring to the profession as "Sports Entertainment", wrestlers as "Entertainers" and[=/=]or "Divas", bookers as "Writers", the locker room/dressing room/[[BuffySpeak space fans aren't supposed to see us in]] as "Backstage" or compares their product to a soap opera? It's because of Wrestling/{{WWE}}. When the World Wrestling Federation broke {{kayfabe}}, and openly referred to Monday Night Raw as an "Action Adventure Program" the contemporary English market wrestling promotions rejected them with fierce zeal, but over the decades, WWE has remained steadfast in its InsistentTerminology and companies of comparable size have gone out of business, particularly in English markets. Even in other markets, such as Spanish or Japanese, which have their own insistent terminologies (albeit in the opposite direction, "Wrestle" often being replaced by "[[SeriousBusiness Fight]]") may fall into some of these when translating to English.[[/folder]]

-->'''Gau''': Does Mr. Thou like shiny thing?
-->'''Sabin''': Mr. Thou's ''that'' one, over there!

** In "How the Tess Was Won" he tells the teenager who assists the Texas veterinarian he leaped into to "Fetch me a fan" and then mutters "Great, now they've got me doing it."

* In ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', after Kaguya's ancient flip-phone dies, she tells her maid Hayasaka that she wants to buy the same model smartphone that her LoveInterest Miyuki owns. Hayasaka goes off into a paranoid ImagineSpot of Miyuki taunting her over this, which is normally the sort of thing Kaguya does all the time. Kaguya, who's depressed over the loss of her phone (and all the photographs it contained), tells her to quit acting foolish; Hayasaka responds that it feels like she just got betrayed.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In one of the ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070924 side comics]], Krosp finds himself unconsciously supplementing Othar's InsistentTerminology:

** Also something of a property of Sparks in general. When a Spark gets into the madness place, they have a tendency to [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder drag other people along with their fervor]], with people who are particularly conditioned to it becoming permanent [[TheIgor Minions]]. Whether this is merely psychological, a result of CompellingVoice, or something deeper is ambiguous.
** ''Much'' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030326 earlier]], a Jaeger draws Gil aside for a pep talk - the Jaegers, of course, universally speak in comedic [[FunetikAksent German accents]], and one paragraph of it briefly overwhelms Gil's normal accent.

'''Gil:''' Hokay. Er... ''Okay.'' Thanks.
* Several times in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', characters start speaking with [[FunetikAksent Durkon's accent]], only to catch and correct themselves.

** Over the course of the Troll's session, all of them began copying each other's animal themed puns as a sort of inside joke among each other.

** When Sollux's lisp comes back to an almost incomprehensible degree (as a result of [[ItMakesSenseInContext his lost teeth reappearing]]), [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005497 this happens]]:

* In the story mode of ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Puyo Pop Fever]]'', Amitie discovers her friend Rider is also looking for Ms. Accord's flying cane. Rider has a stutter that catches onto Amitie by the time she asks her to go easy on her in their puyo match.-->'''Amitie:''' Y-you too. (Now she's got me stuttering.)

* Done to a quasi-supernatural extent in an old issue of ''[[Franchise/ArchieComics Jughead]]'' comics. Just for the heck of it, Jughead would respond in rhymes to everything the people around him said. It immediately caught on, and before the end of the school-day everybody in Riverdale High couldn't help but respond to each other in rhymes, eventually driving themselves crazy. This would only stop if Jughead got hit on the head.

-->'''Applejack:''' Did anypone else think that sounded like an apple core caught in a pulp grinder?\\
''Rarity:''' Apple-solutely! Um, ah, absolutely.

--->"Hi, ho, Kermit. KERMIT?"

* In-story in ''Film/UndercoverBrother'' where white supremacist [[TheDragon Mr. Feather]] (played by Creator/ChrisKattan) just couldn't keep himself [[JiveTurkey from giving in to black culture]], culminating in Music/JamesBrown telling him "Say it loud!"

-->'''Mr. Feather''': '''I'm black and I'm proud'''! (''[[HandGagging Covers his mouth]] at realizing what he'd just said'')

* In-story in ''Film/UndercoverBrother'' where white supremacist [[TheDragon Mr. Feather]] just couldn't keep himself [[JiveTurkey from giving in to black culture]].

* In Herman Melville's ''Bartleby The Scrivener'', Bartleby's "I would prefer not to" causes the other clerks in the office to start using the word "prefer" unconsciously.

* In ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Michael claims that Chidi's indecisiveness is spreading like a virus when the two of them are unequally unsure which [[OneSteveLimit Eleanor]] is supposed to be his soulmate.

* In ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', after Kaguya's ancient flip-phone dies, she tells her maid Hayasaka that she wants to buy the same model smartphone that her LoveInterest Miyuki owns. Hayasaka goes off into a paranoid ImagineSpot of Miyuki taunting her over this, which is normally the sort of thing Kaguya does all the time. Kaguya, who's depressed over the loss of her phone (and all the photographs it contained), tells her to quit acting foolish, which prompts Hayasaka to say that it feels like she just got betrayed.

** In the episode, "Midnight", [[spoiler:an evil invisible alien paralyzes the Doctor, possesses a woman and starts imitating his speaking patterns.]]
** In "The Day of the Doctor" the excitable shouts of his later incarnations eventually rubs off on the War Doctor.

** When Buffy fills the new principal in on how Sunnydale High works...

** And when the gang investigate fish monsters:

* In ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', one RunningGag involves both Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane justifying their refusal to [[LoveConfession confess their love]] by [[ImagineSpot imagining]] that doing so would go disastrously wrong, complete with the object of their affection rejecting them in the most painful way possible. Later on in the manga when Kaguya finally admits in private that she likes Miyuki and plans to confess, her long-suffering maid Ai Hayasaka starts going over all the disaster scenarios that could happen, then stops herself when she realizes that she's doing exactly what she used to criticize Kaguya for doing all this time.

* In an issue of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'', [[CrazyAwesome Impulse]] adopts the extreme Brooklyn accent of Doiby Dickles, sidekick of the golden age ComicBook/GreenLantern. It drives Superboy insane, but Bart doesn't even realize he's doing it.

* In the Disney ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' episode "Hercules and the Arabian Night", a crossover with ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', Hades at first mocks Jafar's EvilLaugh, then by the end of the episode he's ''also'' laughing evilly and says he kind of likes it.

* Occurs in a DeletedScene from ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', regarding Doc's constant [[{{Malaproper}} malaproping]].
-->'''Grumpy:''' Aw, you're a pot-bellied old hop-toad!
-->'''Doc:''' I'm a...He's a...Who's a belly-potted old flop, uh...jelly flop-bellied...
