* {{Music/Psychostick}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUPAFnFRXg "Ghostbuster!"]] is essentially Ray Parker Jr.'s "[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]" InTheStyleOf {{Music/Sepultura}}; they exaggerate the questionable English found in some of the band's Max Cavalera-era material to the point that the lyrics read like HulkSpeak:

* One episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}'' had Angela trying in vain to put together a baby toy. The instructions were written in this style, and included such gems as "To make seat with secure to fasten red pin 'B' to happy."
and "Gently forward piece to coupling for together with warning about many danger."

* One episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}'' had Angela trying in vain to put together a baby toy. The instructions were written in this style.

** Fawful makes a comeback in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Bowser's Inside Story]]'', thus adding to his incredible list of memorable quotes.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp_PIjc2ga4 "Elektronik - Supersonik"]] by Zladko "Zlad!" Vladzic, a resident of the fictional Eastern European country ''[[Literature/JetlagTravelGuides Molvania]]'' [[FakeNationality portrayed by Santo Cilauro, an Australian]], has Slavic-sounding broken English lyrics.

** TheMovie, has the Devices speaking proper English (though Raising Heart keeps its {{Catchphrase}} "Stand by ready!"). The only hiccup in the dialogue being what was presumably "strategy" being translated as "wisdom and tactics".
* ''Anime/AngelBeats'': TK's catchphrasiest CatchPhrase, GET CHANCE AND LUCK!! Which is a reference to the same BlindIdiotTranslation in the ending theme of ''Manga/CityHunter''. The official sub misses the reference and partially corrects it to "''good'' chance and luck."

* The Music/LeningradCowboys' CatchPhrase is "Thank you very many!"

'''Japanese Mailman:''' Your accent is atrocious.

** Bart's pachinko machine quickly repeats "You a winner! Ha ha ha!".

* ''Anime/{{Toradora}}'' has a character shouting "Ladies and Zentlemen!" at one point. Intentional because one of the other students immediately asks what the hell a "zentleman" is.

* The ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' game "Space Dance" uses this throughout the tutorial.

* In ''Film/{{Solo}}'', Han convinces Chewbacca to work together to escape from the Imperial by speaking to him in the Wookiee langauge [[StarfishLanguage Shyriiwook]], but the subtitles show that Han has some difficulty in speaking the language.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]] speaks with broken, funny, memetic Engrish with gems like "SHOW ME YO MOVES!" "YESZ!" or the ever memetic "FALCON PAWNCH!". All of it was done by Creator/RyoHorikawa, who is actually ''capable'' of SurprisinglyGoodEnglish. They never told Horikawa to re-dub Captain Falcon because his Engrish has undergone hilarious MemeticMutation it became attached to the character.

* Used in one of the unofficial endings for ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' episode 100, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AtvNwGCboc "Insert Quarter,"]] where [[spoiler: Sarge breaks Vic's computer]] causing a broken English message to appear saying "You have winner!"

* In the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' series, Dante's Ebony & Ivory handguns have the phrase "FOR TONY REDGRAVE BY .45 ART ''WARKS''" etched on their slides (best seen in most of the guns' illustrations and concept arts), when the latter half of the phrase should've said "BY .45 ART ''WORKS''". Rather than just ignore it then let the fans quibble over the little things, or take the opportunity to fix it outright, the team instead ran with it and created an InUniverse [[JustifiedTrope justification]]. Thus, the quirky spelling is [[{{Retcon}} rendered canon]] for a long time ever since the novel accompanying the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 first game]]. Nell Goldstein, the gunsmith who crafted Ebony & Ivory, makes this spelling goof frequently; even the sign outside her aforementioned shop spells the word "work" incorrectly and Dante calls her out for being a bad speller. It's only until ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' when the spelling has been finally corrected, leading to another {{retcon}}.

* dado from ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' - u trust dado yes?

* Wiki/TVTropes:

* WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}} works a subtle one into his ''VideoGame/VibRibbon'' review. Upon stating that the game's music was made by the Japanese group Laugh and Peace, he briefly shows an obvious machine translation of their article on the Japanese-language Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}, which has such gems as "In this item, Music producer I am describes the unit."

* Jelonzo, the clothing shop owner in ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'', does not speak the Inkling language natively, and talks like this. A lot of "you are Xing the Y" type phrases abound. Jelfonzo, the owner of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'''s clothing shop, instead speaks in [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe Ye Olde Butcherede Inklinge]].
** The Octolings in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' also speak like this, as they are also foreigners who aren't familiar with the Inkling language. If Agent 8's poems are any indication, they are most definitely [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Eloquent In Their Native Tongue]].

** The subtitles on the ridiculous Japanese dish soap commercial from the episode "In Marge We Trust". "I'm disrespectful to dirt! Can you see that I am serious?"

* This is part of ''Music/{{Massacration}}''[='=]s lyrics composition, the other part being gratuitous brazilian portuguese.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had the subtitles on the ridiculous Japanese dish soap commercial from the episode "In Marge We Trust". "I'm disrespectful to dirt! Can you see that I am serious?"

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', Mojo Jojo's deep voice combined with his tendency to speak in extremely redundant sentences is a parody of bad dubs, ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' specifically.
