Basic Trope: The broken, mangled English of non-native speakers.
- Straight: Bob's native language is non-English, and him speaking it (or attempting to) will ultimatly butcher the language.
- Exaggerated: Bob's Engrish is so bad, both the Japanese and English-speaking people need subtitles for him.
- Downplayed: Bob still mixes his "L"s and "R"s, but otherwise has good English.
- Justified: Bob speaks another language, but wants to learn the language, with a range of results.
- Inverted: Bob speaks English, but is trying to speak in another language.
- Subveted: Bob speaks Japanese, but also speaks English just as well.
- Double Subverted: ...but hasn't spoken English in a while, and is rusty.
- Parodied: Intentional Engrish for Funny
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bob speaks no English whatsoever, or simply refuses to learn.
- Enforced: "Alright, class! Today is the first day of English. Bob, try to say something in English."
- Lampshaded: "Man, your English sucks, Bob."
- Invoked: ???
- Defied: Bob refuses to speak English until he learns the proper grammar.
- Discussed: Alice: "Hey, Bob's English isn't that good. Think we should help him?" Carol: "Nah, his Engrish is hillarious!"
- Conversed: ???
