A character places the stress on the wrong syllable of a word, whether intentionally or not. In this trope's own name, to take an obvious example, the accent in the very word 'accent' varies largely depending which country you're from: British use tends to favour AKS-nt, whereas U.S. use, for instance, would be more AK-sent. By comparison, both usually stress the second syllable in 'accentuate' (ak-SEN-tchoo-ate), which shows how variable the language can be. (Words derived from Latin often shift their stress when suffixes are added, which “accent/accentuate� is an example of). In song lyrics, it's usually because the song was done by some foreigner who hasn't quite grasped the rules of stress in their second language, but sometimes they're just being artistic in how the word is pronounced or for the sake of the meter. This can lead to a Mondegreen Gag if the wrong syllable is too jarring. Sometimes, this is done in dubs to fit the lip movements in the original language. If this is done incorrectly with someone's name, it might lead to Pronouncing My Name for You. Compare Strange-Syntax Speaker. See also Pretentious Pronunciation. |

In Megamind, the titular Card-Carrying Villain's pronunciation of "Metro City" as "MeTROcity" (rhymes with "atrocity") becomes an important plot point. He also has trouble pronouncing a few other words, such as "school" and "hello." Presumably this is because he spent more time reading than interacting with his classmates. | |

Dave Gorman deliberately does this in one episode of Modern Life Is Goodish, confusing the audience by wondering why, after the birth of his son, he keeps hearing about the "play centre", before revealing he’s actually talking about the placenta. He then does the same with “escalator� (“a Skeletor�), “pullover� (“poo lover�) and “backache� (“bukkake�). | |

In an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, Peter Weller played a terrorist who threatened to release a virus if a global video conference involving every nation's capital on Earth was not cancelled. His right hand man told him "there are no plans to halt the summit in Can-BERRA or Berlin". The writer having known that Canberra exists and is the capital of Australia is more than Canberrans have come to expect, but it's pronounced CAN-bra, with the last vowel cut off to sound like a hard "u". | |

YouTube Poop videos have a lot of strange emphasis and pronunciation going on, and even make it part of the fun - since Poops are produced using a lot of Manipulative Editing, the emphasis and pronunciation are taken from the original words and can't really be altered that much to make it flow more naturally without a lot of work, leading to a general wonkiness that is part of the medium's charm. To take just one example, in the DaThings video "Big Talking Volcano", the word "tyrant" at 5:27 puts emphasis on the second syllable, rather than the first, because it was assembled using the first two syllables of "tyrannosaurus". | |

Two examples in Umineko: When They Cry: Dlanor A. Knox speaks this way in Witch Hunt's English Fan Translation of the visual novels, where the last word of her sentences is always EMPHASIZED. It is the English equivalent chosen for her speaking style in Japanese, where she speaks with a cold, robotic voice and ends her sentences with copulas written in KATAKANA. Also used for a very creepy effect in Episode 7: When Willard tells Shannon to go and get Kanon so that he can talk to both of them together, her eyes suddenly become dull and she starts to talking this way while refusing. The more she gets pushed to do so, the number of emphasized syllables increases until in the end everything she says is written in capitalized letters. This is in fact the first more or less obvious hint that Shannon and Kanon are the same person and therefore can not both appear in front of Willard at the same time. |

Inverted in a Did You Know Gaming? video on Mega Man (Classic), narrated by Arin Hanson (a.k.a. Egoraptor and one half of Game Grumps). Arin pronounces series creator Keiji Inafune's surname as "I-NA-fune", which is closer to how the name is pronounced in Japanese (which makes sense since Arin knows some Japanese). However, many of the comments on the video point out that the way he says it sounds weird (in part due to him still using an American accent when saying the name), with quite a few even erroneously claiming he's saying it wrong and it should be "Ina-FU-ne" (which is how English speakers usually pronounce it). | |

Looney Tunes: Daffy Duck's "You're despicable!" with accent on the second syllable of the latter word was originally a case of this — at the time the cartoons aired, the generally agreed-upon pronunciation put the accent on the first syllable, and it's meant to show (depending on the cartoon) that Daffy either has a few screws loose or is not as great as he likes to imagine himself. The popularity of the cartoons, combined with the word's relative lack of use in other contexts, resulted in the pronunciation shifting and this trope fading. | |

Chuck Mosley, early singer of Faith No More often did this with his rapping to fit sometimes awkward rhythms, a good example being "R 'N' R". 10 years later, the band wrote the song "Mouth To Mouth" in this style so that Mike Patton could imitate Chuck's style for it. Naturally, Patton managed to make it even more hammy than Chuck would have done. | |

The Dragon Riders Of Pern video game for the Dreamcast had D'kor's dragon constantly pronounce "inventory" as the verb form of "invent" followed by the same "-ory" sound as in "cursory", which sounds odd to Americans (it's the standard pronunciation in Britain). | |

The G-Man from the Half-Life series speaks like this, along with speeding up and slowing down randomly and a bit of Vader Breath and Snake Talk. The general impression is that he approached the problem of speaking a human language from an entirely nonhuman angle and didn't bother getting the details right. | |

In the Amazing Stories episode, "The Mission", a member of the flight crew refers to a belly-gunner without any experience as a "green-belly gunner", when he should have called him a "green belly-gunner". The belly-gunner is the guy in the belly turret. The way he said it, it's a gunner with a green belly. | |

Meta example for Neon Genesis Evangelion. Due to the unusual spelling of Kaworu's name, many English-speaking fans tend to pronounce it differently than another person who shares his name. It's supposed to be pronounced the same way as someone with the name Kaoru ("Kar-ru") but most people tend to say it as "Kar-wru" or "Ka-wru". It seems that they can't get over the w, really the middle part of his name should be silent. This was then enforced by Studio Khara in Rebuild of Evangelion, wherein Kaworu pronounces his own name with a very slight but noticeable emphasis on the "w", as though to further drive home his strangeness. | |

raocow's grasp of the English language has proven surprisingly verbose, given that Canadian-French is his primary tongue, but he has an odd tendency to pronounce words in a way that sounds strange to primary English-speakers. He claims he usually has this problem with French-derived English loanwords, as he's uncertain which way to pronounce them. He sometimes mispronounces things on purpose just to be silly. Pronouncing "armageddon" as "ar-MEG-ga-dohn" in his Copy Kitty LP, for instance. | |

The X-Universe series is infamous for this due to most of the voice actors being non-native English speakers, which when combined with the Mad Libs Dialogue system results in disorienting pauses and emphasis on words. The most infamous/hilarious example of mis-emphasis comes from Boron passengers in Taxi missions, who will begin yelling "My tentacles are drying out!" if the player is running out of time. However, due to weird emphasis, it ends up sounding like "My testicles are drying out!" | |

Red Seas Under Red Skies: While Michael Page's narration of the audiobook is otherwise excellent, neither he nor his producer apparently knew how to pronounce "boatswain", as for half the book he pronounces it as it looks, "BOAT-SWAIN". Around the midway mark, someone apparently corrected him, as he switches from there on out to "BOH-zun", as it is traditionally pronounced. | |

Complete disregard for natural speaking patterns is a staple of Randy Blythe, to the point where his vocals become more like another instrument. This is especially prominent on songs like Lamb of God's "Blood Junkie" or Burn the Priest's "Lies of Autumn" where at one point lyrics become a continuous monotone chant of syllables. | |

Nicholas of Gangsta. has been deaf since birth and sounds like this when he speaks out loud as opposed to through sign language, and the original Japanese even subtitles his speech to make him more understandable to the audience. Truth in Television as most deaf people are fully capable of speaking but often sound odd since they can't correct their speech because of the lack of auditory feedback. | |

Captain Sisko from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine does this, although it at least stays plausible throughout. Michael Dorn also once said in an interview that he did this when playing Worf so he would have a distinct speech pattern from the rest of the (mostly human or Human Alien) crew. Worf's ho-NORR, va-LORR pronunciation of "honour" and "valour" echoes Spock in the original series, who did exactly the same. The Ferengi pronounce "human" as "HEW-mon". Quark does this the most. |

Sabaton Combined with Trolling Creator with their track "A Secret", which warns the listener that an illegal download has been detected and that it is executed spyware protocol six hundred sixty-six. Yes, it speaks the number aloud in proper word form, but the computerized voice messes with the stress pattern, so it can be extremely difficult to understand what is being said. "Then the Winged HusSARS arrived!" The word "hussar" is normally accented on the first syllable but the song's beat places the emphasis on the second. |

In Star Trek: One episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation has Q meddling in on Captain Picard's shoreleave. Being the trickster that he is, he dresses up as a message courier and plays this trope just to annoy him. Captain Sisko from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine does this, although it at least stays plausible throughout. Michael Dorn also once said in an interview that he did this when playing Worf so he would have a distinct speech pattern from the rest of the (mostly human or Human Alien) crew. Worf's ho-NORR, va-LORR pronunciation of "honour" and "valour" echoes Spock in the original series, who did exactly the same. The Ferengi pronounce "human" as "HEW-mon". Quark does this the most. In an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, Peter Weller played a terrorist who threatened to release a virus if a global video conference involving every nation's capital on Earth was not cancelled. His right hand man told him "there are no plans to halt the summit in Can-BERRA or Berlin". The writer having known that Canberra exists and is the capital of Australia is more than Canberrans have come to expect, but it's pronounced CAN-bra, with the last vowel cut off to sound like a hard "u". |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider De-CADE has this problem. The belt announcer (who is half-Japanese and lives in Australia) sometimes does this as well. For example, when Diend summons Kamen Rider Kabuki, the Diendriver pronounces it "Ka-BU-ki", when the standard Japanese pronunciation is "KA-bu-ki". Kamen Rider OOO has the OOO Driver sometimes pronounce the names of Core Medals in strange ways. For example, it always says "Ta-KA, To-RA, Bat-TA" when the normal Japanese pronunciation would be "TA-ka, TO-ra, BAT-ta". Kamen Rider Fourze has the ParaCHUTE, E-lec, Ma-GIC HAND, Mag-NET, Cos-MIC, Gat-LING etc. switches. They're all pronounced in an exaggerated Japanese fashion by the belt, which "sings" their names and stresses them in weird places. Kamen Rider Gaim has yet another example of the belt pronouncing Japanese in weird ways. When Gaim transforms into Orange Arms, the Sengoku Driver announces "o-RANGE Arms! HaNAmichi ON stage!" Also, one of the Lockseeds is strawberry, which in Japanese is ichigo. Given that there is also a Lockseed for Kamen Rider #1, whose name is also pronounced "Ichigo", the Lockseed for the latter announces it as "i-CHEE-go" rather than "ICH-ee-go" to differentiate between the two. In Kamen Rider Drive, the Mach Driver Honoh pronounces Japanese words with the stress on the penultimate syllable, such as "tomare" (stop) being pronounced "to-MA-re" instead of "TO-ma-re". |

In Manos: The Hands of Fate, the character Torgo speaks with an awkward rhythm that sometimes makes him sound like he's stressing the wrong syllables. The intention may have been to give him a voice that sounds like the bleating of a goat, because he was supposed to be a satyr. | |

In The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny the protagonist is called Jimmy Mahonney, pronounced MAH-Honee, so some American versions, to keep it along the music, rename him Jimmy MacIntyre (Funny enough, even when the usual American pronunciation is Ma-HOH-nee, the original Irish one is indeed MAH-honne. This is due to different accents having the stresses on words in different places.) | |

Daria Mr. DeMartino yells VARious syllaBLLES COMpletely at ranDOM! The guy is generically angry and about half a cup of coffee from exploding into a gigantic mass of high-strung destruction, so it's more like he's trying to emphasize everything. In the episode "Fair Play", Quinn has a single line in a play that she keeps rehearsing. After the usual encouragement from Sandi ("Is that how you're going to say it?"), Quinn tries out ever more bizarrely accented readings. Her final delivery makes her sound like an idiot; that and other impending disasters lead to her humiliation. "I WILL make a DAINty garLAND for my HEAD and SING!" In "This Year's Model", Romonica calls up Morgendorffer to suggest that Quinn would be an ideal candidate for modelling. Daria answers, and mocks Romonica's accent when addressing Daria, responding, "And I am DAria MORgenDORffer." |

Emma. (2020): Mr Elton, a clergyman officiating a wedding (of Mr Weston who is one of the most prominent residents in Highbury), tries to sound high-class and pronounces words ultra clearly with great pathos. However, his pronunciation of the word "innocence" with the accent on the second syllable (instead on the first) is decidedly off. It comes off as "in no sense". | |

The lyric "there ought to be clowns" from Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" has the accent on "ought", when the music has it on "be". Same with ''"well, maybe next year" — the word with the emotional emphasis should be "next", but the music has it on "year". Sondheim says he knows how confusing it is to sing, but he can't really change it now. | |

A Saturday Night Live skit with Alec Baldwin was a play off of soap operas when a scene is done live and the actors have to read off the teleprompters. Baldwin's character, a doctor, was constantly mispronouncing words, leading to the memorable "Quick nurse! There appears to be something caught in his eso-phagus." In another set of skits Rachel Dratch and Will Farrell's pretentious couple insist on pronouncing various words this way, such as hot-TUB and su-BAR-u. |

Harley Quinn (2019): Clayface often overemphasizes the last syllable of a sentEEENCE. It's generally a sign that he's descended so far into his obsession with Large Ham theatrics that he can't even hold his diction together. | |

In The IT Crowd, Moss recommends a restaurant he calls "Meh-SEE-joze" (making it sound French or Spanish) when its name is clearly "Messy Joe's." Moss insisting on saying "TAY-pass" is another example. Jen consistently pronounces 'computer' as 'COM-pyu-ta'. Pretty much sums up her level of IT prowess. |

Doctor Who: In "The Five Doctors", a Time Lord official is taken for a mind scan. His cry of, "No, not the Mind Probe!" was unintentional, and no matter how many takes the director called for, the actor kept saying it the same way. In "The Poison Sky", Donna twice pronounces "Sontaran" as "SON-tar-an". The first time the Doctor corrects her pronunciation to "son-TAR-an", and the second time she quickly corrects herself. This goes back to when the Sontarans were introduced in ''The Time Warrior'' (1973). Original Sontaran actor Kevin Lindsay pronounced it "son-TAR-an" during rehearsal, and insisted it should be pronounced this way after the director tried to correct him. We already know who won. |

In the original Japanese version of Digimon Adventure 02, the Chosen Children (Digidestined in the dub) owned power-ups for their Digimon called Digimentals (Digi-Egg in the dub). When these were activated, they shouted, "Digimental UUUUP!". In the English Dub, it was changed to "Digi-armor ENERGIZE!". However, due to the dub trying to match the mouth movements of the original, the "er" in "energize" ended up being stretched out. The result was "Digi-armor enEEEEEEEEERgize!" | |

Reid on Criminal Minds occasionally puts a weird emphasis on a weird syllable when he speaks — he says the word "theater," for example, as "thee-AY-ter", every single time. That probably has less to do with getting it wrong and more to do with being raised by an English professor and hanging onto antiquated pronunciations that everyone else doesn't bother with anymore (or it could be a Nevada/Jello Belt thing). | |

Jim Gaffigan has a bit where, before a show in Ireland, someone references a famous performer named "Billy JorrEL" who also recently played the venue, and is astonished Jim has never heard of him, since he's American. (Jim quips about him being "Superman's dad"). As it turns out, he's referring to Billy Joel, but the combination of a strong Irish accent and pronouncing "Joel" as two syllables rendered the last name incomprehensible to Jim. When more than one other person around him starts agreeing with this pronunciation, Jim wonders if he's the one who's been mispronouncing "Billy Joel" all his life - then remembers that he's heard Billy Joel say his own name before. "Billy Jo-El" subsequently gets a few callbacks in the same special. | |

Kamen Rider Gaim has yet another example of the belt pronouncing Japanese in weird ways. When Gaim transforms into Orange Arms, the Sengoku Driver announces "o-RANGE Arms! HaNAmichi ON stage!" Also, one of the Lockseeds is strawberry, which in Japanese is ichigo. Given that there is also a Lockseed for Kamen Rider #1, whose name is also pronounced "Ichigo", the Lockseed for the latter announces it as "i-CHEE-go" rather than "ICH-ee-go" to differentiate between the two. | |

Mega Man 8: Of the many, many infamously bad aspects of the English voice acting, Mega Man mis-pronounces Bass as /bæs/ rather than /beɪs/ (rhyming with "gas", rather than "base"), leading to the Memetic Mutation "Bass is NOT a fish!". | |

¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.?: Grandmother Adela is alone in the house when a burglar breaks in. She calls out for help and tries to escape. He forces her to sit down, so she tries to talk her way out in her best (albeit terrible) English : "Yo espiki English. Peña family, Cuban reFOOgee, work very very hard in United States." The burglar completely ignores the tale of woe, to Adela's annoyance. | |

The various agents in The Matrix all speak with unnaturally good enunciation and with a complete lack of inflection or pauses between phrases, also, they never seem to vary in speaking speed, even in situations that would usually cause a real human to talk faster. It drives home the fact that they are computer programs running AI text-to-speech programs. Smith, after he becomes unshackled from the Machines gains a slightly more natural speech pattern to symbolize his independence but he never completely shakes off the Machine-speak. | |

Friends Subverted; Ross does try to say the word "karate" with the right Japanese intonation (putting more stress into "te" instead of the Western habit of stressing "ra"), but the way he says it just makes the word seem weird. In a later episode, Ross finds that he tends to slip into a stereotypical English accent during his new job of lecturing at a college, as a result of nerves. Mid-lecture, under the assumption that he wasn't being listened to anyway, he attempts to reassert his normal accent, but finds that he starts slipping in and out, resulting in the placement of emphasis on strange parts of words, such as saying "IdentiFY'". Chandler has a habit of emphasizing the word "be", which occasionally joked upon by the others. |

The man who arranged the song for Lilo & Stitch's opening is notorious for pairing Hawaiian chants with Western music and ignoring pauses and pronunciations (very important in a language with only 17 letters and a glottal stop) to make it sound better, which appears to have turned two unrelated birthday chants about Queen Liliuokalani and Prince Kalakaua into Hawaiian-sounding gibberish. | |

From Noir, the track "Salva Nos" makes "requiem" in the phrase dona eis requiem four syllables and accents the second (re-QU-i-em), while "eis" becomes one syllable instead of two. This is likely because the vocalist's first language is Japanese, which consistently allows vowel hiatus. | |

Kamen Rider De-CADE has this problem. The belt announcer (who is half-Japanese and lives in Australia) sometimes does this as well. For example, when Diend summons Kamen Rider Kabuki, the Diendriver pronounces it "Ka-BU-ki", when the standard Japanese pronunciation is "KA-bu-ki". | |

In Miao Mi's English dub of Happy Heroes, if viewers listen carefully enough to Little M.'s voice, they may notice he has a slight problem with placing the accent on the wrong syllable of a word. It's made even more obvious in Season 8 episode 12, where he describes an artist named Van Golf to Big M. and explains that "His best known work is the Back of Sun-FLOW-ers!" | |
