History Main / BriefAccentImitation

* ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead'': When Johnny tells the story of how he scared Barbara in the graveyard as kids, he briefly imitates their grandfather's voice with a [[AlterKocker thick Yiddish accent accent]]. Given that the pair place a cross on their father's grave and talk about going to church, this [[AmbiguouslyJewish raises some questions]].

* In ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', [[spoiler:while paying tribute to Jackie Welles at his ''ofrenda'', V drops their voice and affects Jackie's Spanish accent while quoting something he told them. For the female V, she speaks with a lower formant.]]

** During his reviews of ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' and ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman,'' (almost) every time he says "Creator/DavidCage", he does it in a drawn-out Cockney accent.

* In ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', [[spoiler:while paying tribute to Jackie Welles at his funeral/vigil, V drops their voice and affects Jackie's Spanish accent while quoting something he told them. For the female V, she speaks with a lower formant.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:The Joker]]''': "Wotta wanker! Let's give 'im the works!" (laughs) Seriously! Can you believe that accent? I bet he fakes it to be tough!

* Jay Baruchel gives Gerard Butler's Scottish accent a go in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' and ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2''.

Not the same as FakeNationality at all, this is when someone briefly imitates another character's accent (and possibly their CatchPhrase), usually for comedic effect.

* In ''Series/DarkMatter2015'', when the Android is jealous of an Aussie-accented entertainment robot, she proceeds to demonstrate a whole string of comedy accents, including Jamaican.

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': In the Imperial mission series on Belsavis, after defeating Ellis Ruger, you can reply to Warden Graal's comm message to him. Female Sith Inquisitors, who normally have a rather high-pitched English accent, will reply with a ''terrible'' attempt at his Western drawl, "Roger, this is Ellis Ruger. Wish I could help but I'm busy dying for a hopeless cause."

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' gives Mario and Luigi more New York accents to reflect their residence being in Brooklyn rather than the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the brothers' plumbing commercial has them imitating the goofy Italian accents they have in the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros games]].

However, the brothers' plumbing commercial has them imitating the goofy Italian accents they have in the [{Franchise/SuperMarioBros games]].

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. In "Dawn of a Royal Day", Dawn is in a PrincessForADay situation and very briefly copies Princess Salvia's pseudo-Brit accent. She doesn't keep it up, though, and Salvia doesn't try to imitate her. Oddly enough, people who aren't in on the swap (like Jessie and Salvia's butler) don't notice anything odd about this.

* In ''Series/DarkMatter'', when the Android is jealous of an Aussie-accented entertainment robot, she proceeds to demonstrate a whole string of comedy accents, including Jamaican.

* In the ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' fan animatic ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHwvfYsqvs Peppino Vs. The Noise]]'', The Noise mock's Peppino's Italian accent when he demands to know where the elevator key is.

* In the ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' fan animatic ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHwvfYsqvs Peppino Vs. The Noise]]'', The Noise mock's Peppino's Italian accent when he demands to know where to find the elevator key.

* Gale at the beginning of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', inciting one of about five times where Katniss actually ''laughs''.

** In "T.R.A.C.K.S.", Fitz and Skye posed as a couple during a mission:

** In "The Patriot", Simmons does a surprisingly decent Southern drawl when playing a lobbyist demanding to speak to Senator Nadeer.

---->'''Doctor:''' You just assume that I don't dance.
---->'''Rose:''' What, are you telling me you do dance?
---->'''Doctor:''' Nine hundred years old, me. I've been around a bit. I think you can assume at some point I've '''''dahnced'''''.

** In "Tender is the Nate", the Legends try to pass off the English accented Charlie as Amaya, whose form she took in a previous episode. Constantine also tries his hand at it, but more successful.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', "TheRashomon Job", the characters are telling stories that involve each other. Different characters' accents change based on who is narrating that scene, and eventually Sophie and Eliot devolve into mocking each others' accents (English and Southern, respectively).

** In "Future Echoes", Rimmer puts on a Liverpudlian accent when throwing Lister's "death isn't the handicap it once was" speech back at him when they think Lister's about to die.
** In "Balance of Power", Lister puts on a nasal voice when using Rimmer's "Black Card" system against him. He also draws an H on his forehead in whipped cream.

* In the classic episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', there is a moment where a Klingon mockingly imitates Scotty's accent:

** Missy continually switches her accent as the mood takes her. She is introduced in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath Deep Breath]]" speaking in a received English accent, with a comment that she likes the Doctor's new accent and "might keep it". She switches to broad, flamboyant Scots[[note]]actress Creator/MichelleGomez's natural accent[[/note]] as her default around the end of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E11DarkWater Dark Water]]". However, she continually adjusts her accent thereafter, often to mock who she's talking to, sometimes even in the middle of sentences and usually with some funny voices to go with it. At one point, she even adopts a southern ''American'' accent for a few minutes just for the fun of it.

** Missy, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E11DarkWater Dark Water]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven Death in Heaven]]", continually switches her accent as the mood takes her to the point where it's not really possible to work out what her actual accent is, if she even has one at all. She is introduced speaking in a received English accent earlier in the series, with a comment that she likes the Doctor's accent this time around and "might keep it", and switches to broad, flamboyant Scots as her default around the end of "Dark Water" (the actress' natural one). Even so, she continually adjusts her accent, often to mock who she's talking to, sometimes even in the middle of sentences and usually with some funny voices to go with it. At one point, she even adopts a southern ''American'' accent for a few minutes just for the fun of it.
