* Often {{invoked}} in ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' when someone attempts a particular accent badly and another player will mock it by implying this trope is going on, e.g. "If we're all from France than how come you speak like a Russian?" Once during a ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''-esque game, Ryan spontaneously switches to a southern accent for no good reason before trying to pass it off as using the accent so that the person he's talking to doesn't know where he's really from.

* Bodhan and Sandal, recurring characters of the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' series, speak with heavy Cockney accents rather than the American accents that dwarves generally have in the setting. This is despite the fact that Bodhan himself is from the dwarven city of Orzammar. This may be a failed attempt to fake the local human accents; Bodhan especially is using an exaggerated Fereldan accent.

* Bodhan Bodahn and Sandal, Sandal Feddic, recurring characters of the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' series, speak with heavy Cockney accents rather than the American accents that dwarves generally have in the setting. This is despite the fact that Bodhan himself is from the dwarven city of Orzammar. This may be a failed attempt to fake the local human accents; Bodhan especially is using an exaggerated Fereldan accent. The [[WatsonianVersusDoylist practical explanation]] is that Bodahn shares a voice actor with the other two characters in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' (barteners in Lothering and Denerim) who can provide rumors, so they didn't have to record the same lines twice. The other two are humans, so they need the British accent.
