* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Osgood Conklin on occasion, just to be all the [[LargeHam more pompous.]]

** The Seventh Doctor turns this into an art form as a means of underlining Creator/SylvesterMcCoy's status as the first Scottish Doctor, which leads to extreme {{Narm}} when he has to face Rrrrasillon and The Gods Of Rrrragnarrrok.
** The number of r's he can put into a word such as "rrrrrule" is one of the hammier qualities of the Delgado incarnation of the Master. In ''The Daemons'', the daemon he summons tries to do it too, but there's really no competition.

* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': Gavin Millarrr.
** -rrrrrrr.
* The Two Fat Ladies frequently do this. Lampshaded in the show's intro: "Grrrrab that crrrrab, Clarissa."

* ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'': Played with in ''Blackadder Goes Forth'':
--> '''George''': I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with R.
--> '''Baldrick''': Army.
--> '''Blackadder''': For God's sake, Baldrick, "army" starts with an A. He's looking for something that starts with an R. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
--> '''Baldrick''': Motorbike! Motorbike starts with an rrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
* Fez on ''Series/That70sShow'': "You know how he rolls his Rs? He did that in my mouth!"

Usually the [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]] {{Evil Overlor|d}}rrd will constantly rrroll his tongue. Forrreign people arrre also frrreqently porrrtrrrayed in media as speaking like this. This is occasionally {{justified|trope}} because the Rrr is prrronounced like this in severrral languages and dialects (think Slavic language in generrral, Italian, Dutch, Afrrrikaans, most Norrrdic countrrries, some Gerrrman and [[VampireVords Trrransylvanian]] dialects, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and cerrrtain Spanish worrrds), otherrr than in English. Also frrrequently employed when the speakerrr is rrrelated to felines in some way, imitating a cat's purrring.

* Miss Music/LotteLenya was famous for this.

* The weak English "r" sound is actually quite rare among languages. The "r" is trilled in Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Greek, Finnish, and certain dialects of Norwegian and Swedish. Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Welsh and some Portuguese dialects have both a tapped "r" and a trilled "rr". The trilled "r" appears in dialects of other languages, such as Scottish and Welsh English and Wenglish. French and German speakers don't normally trill the "r", but instead pronounce it at the back of the throat.

* There was a Taco Bell commercial where these two lions were talking about the latest roast beef burrito. The one said to the other, "No, say it like Creator/RicardoMontalban." So the other lion says, "Okay. Carrrrne asada."

* ''Advertising/DairyQueenLips'': One ad has the Lips practicing saying "tortilla" with a rolling R, then advertising a wrap (there are variants of the ad with different wraps) and referring to a tortilla on the wrap with the rolling R. He doesn't use rolling R's for any other words.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': In "The Final Nail", Beckett interrogates a suspect with a thick Slavic accent (Beckett's response was unscripted; Stana Katic did it by accident, but the producers decided to ThrowItIn):

-->'''Beckett:''' [[GotMeDoingIt She crrry—she cried?]]

* Many of Creator/JimCummings' characters do this.
