A Mondegreen Gag is whenever one character mishears another and responds according to what they thought they heard. Sometimes this is caused by a character's accent, bad enunciation, or stressing of syllables, but it can also happen because of the environment, such as in a nightclub or on a busy street. If the character mispronounces their Rs, there may be a joke or two at their expense based on whatever mondegreen people heard. This can also happen due to words sharing the same sounds, such as "surely" and "Shirley." A mondegreen gag is an easy tool for writers to insert humor at a character's expense. Sometimes, they're shown to be unobservant or simple-minded, but other times they are merely the butt of a silly joke. The term "mondegreen" was coined by Sylvia Wright, who wrote a 1954 essay about how, as a child, she had misheard a line from a Scottish ballad — "They hae slain the Earl o' Moray, and Lady Mondegreen." It wasn't until she was grown that she learned the line was in fact "and laid him on the green". This can lead to Innocent Swearing if an innocent word is misheard as a profane one. Compare Rouge Angles of Satin, which is when the words are all technically real words but are misspellings of what was meant; and Gosh Dang It to Heck!, which is when made-up words are used to sound like profane ones. Can overlap with Funny Phone Misunderstanding, if it happens over the phone, Fun with Homophones, if the mishearing happens due to two words sounding the same, Heh Heh, You Said "X", if the people who mishear the word react to it with snickering, Poor Communication Kills, if the mishearing causes a lot of problems, Accent Depundent if the miscommunication is due to an accent, or In My Language, That Sounds Like..., if a language barrier is involved. If even the subtitles are uncertain what's being said, then that's Even the Subtitler Is Stumped. Contrast Malaproper, which is a character who mixes up words on a regular basis; Beam Me Up, Scotty!, when the misheard line becomes more famous than the original; Lady Mondegreen, which is when fans nickname a character based on what they misheard; Something Something Leonard Bernstein, which is when people understand part of a song but struggle to make up actual words from the rest; and Viewer Name Confusion, which is when the audience gets a character's name wrong. See also Virtual Assistant Blunder for when a computer misunderstands a voice command. See Calling Me a Logarithm for when somoene is mistakes a misheard or unfamiliar word for an insult. |

Adventure Time: "Death in Bloom": Princess Bubblegum goes away on an errand and tells Finn and Jake that she'll return "on the Morrow", as in, her fast bird steed named "the Morrow". Finn thinks that she meant "the morrow" as in "tomorrow", and it isn't until the climax that Jake corrects him, forcing them to rush since Finn thought they would have more time to fix something they broke while she was gone. "Three Buckets": Played for Drama when Finn discovers that his robot arm has a variety of voice-activated functions. Soon afterwards, he's in a fight, and while trying to defuse the situation before anyone gets seriously hurt, he uses the word "finality". The arm's speech recognition misinterprets it as "fatality" and kills his opponent. Adventure Time: Distant Lands: Centuries ago, Marceline's Break-Up Song "So Glad That I Woke Up" managed to repel a dragon that was attacking the Glass Kingdom. In "Obsidian", the citizens still sing this "holy song" to keep it at bay, but over the years it's morphed into "So Mad at the Coconut." |

Doom: In Doom: Endgame, Fly and Arlene are being connected to the Newbie computer simulation, and he sees Arlene mouth a message to him: "Patrick". Fly has absolutely no idea what she's trying to convey with that message or how it could help them, all that comes to mind is the story of Saint Patrick who converted the Irish. Once in the computer, he decides to trust Arlene and attempts to convert the monsters. He succeeds and rallies a growing army of the enemy, awed by his Reality Warper powers. Once they regroup in the computer, Fly learns that she said "battery", as in "Cut the Juice". | |

Caddicarus has fun with this when reviewing Vib-Ribbon, pointing out that the songs are full of easy-to-misinterpret Engrish: Also, in his George Of The Jungle review, the music is so much louder than the voices that he hears Ursula say: In one video, he makes an offhand mention of Kingdom Hearts, adding a clip from Kingdom Hearts III of Donald saying "What about the power of waking?" accompanied by subtitles which mishear "waking" as "wanking". |

Count Duckula: In a flashback scene of "Dear Diary", an early and evil incarnation of Duckula rises with Igor nearby presenting a filled goblet. Moments later, a past relative of Goosewing enters a pub asking for information on Duckula. They tell him that Duckula only comes put a night and garlic keeps him at bay, so Goosewing asks how else can he get to the Count. |

Imperial Radch: Breq is a serial collector of songs, but between the variety of languages they're in and the heavy implication that her last remaining body is tone deaf, comprehension on the part of the people around her is somewhat spotty. At one point, one of the squads under her command, all drunk as skunks, performs one of her favourites, "My Heart is a Fish", by substituting the Radchaai words the actual lyrics sound like, leading to lines like, "Oh, tree! Where is my ass?" | |

Space Ghost Coast to Coast: In one episode, Space Ghost quotes one of Beck's lyrics back to him as "I got two turntables and my mommy's home." instead of "I got two turntables and a microphone.". "Pavement": This is deliberately utilized during one of Pavement's musical numbers, in which the lyric "Living the high life" is constantly repeated and sounds like "Land of the hot knives". |

Wings: One episode's subplot revolved around Antonio becoming a busker in the airport, singing a song he learned back in Italy (his introduction to English): "My Goat Knows the Bowling Score, Hallelujah." After everyone gets sick of him singing the same line over and over they suggest he go on to the next verse, which he does: "Sid's new hair is in the mail, Hallelujah." (That is, "Michael, row the boat ashore" and "Sister, help to trim the sail", respectively.) | |

Hey Vern, It's Ernest!: Every single episode has a sketch where Ernest went to his barber and asked him to give him a haircut that made him look like a Wall Street tycoon. The barber always mishears the instruction as something that rhymed which was thematically related to what the episode was about ("I thought you said The Man in the Moon" or "I thought you said a wind-blown sand dune" or something). "Holidays" has Ernest setting out to celebrate all the holidays of the year in one day, starting with New Year: | |

In the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "The Nightman Cometh", the gang puts on a play, and Frank's character has to sing the line "you gotta pay the troll toll to get up in that boy's soul". However, his thick New Jersey accent results in it sounding a lot more like "boy's hole." Consequently, everyone involved in the play except Charlie is convinced that Frank's character, rather than selling the Little Boy's soul, is actually selling him off for sex. | |

The Simpsons has a couple some mondegreens: "Pokey Mom": When Homer is shown a painting of a unicorn in outer space made by a prison inmate, and asked what it's breathing, he replies "Air." When told that there is no air in space, he replies, "There's an Air 'n' Space Museum", which gets him thrown out of the prison. "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song": Skinner mishears Superintendent Chalmers firing him as the former calling him a liar. After being corrected, he realizes that he'd rather have been called a liar. "Grade School Confidential" has Homer claiming that he's been calling Mrs. Krabappel "Krandall", bemoaning the fact that no-one ever corrected him. "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?" has Bart dreaming about different famous brothers, including the Smothers Brothers. The closing credits featured a banter between them in which one brother says "Take it Tom" which is misheard as "Take it Naked Bacon". Homer ends up chiming in that he too heard "Take it Naked Bacon". "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star": When Homer questions the way Bart is speaking while saying grace at dinner, Lisa says he's speaking Latin, "the language of Plutarch". Homer mistakes this as Pluto, Mickey Mouse's dog. "Bart Sells His Soul" references the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" example where Bart pranks his church into having the song played under the guise of "In The Garden of Eden". "Homerpalooza": When Homer buys a Rastafarian hat and shows it to his kids, Bart says that Homer can't wear it due to not being Rastafarian himself. Homer brushes it off, since he's sure that he's "safarian". "Million Dollar Abie": When Lisa protests bullfighting as being "a cruel pseudo-sport", Homer mishears her as saying that it's "a cool super sport" and enthusiastically agrees. In "Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington", Marge asks Homer to perform CPR, so he starts singing Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising", and she corrects him, "Not CCR!". |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In "Beginning of the End", the Clairvoyant's Ãœbermensch ideas came about primarily because he misheard a speech by Nick Fury about how one can accomplish anything once he realizes he can become part of something bigger and didn't catch the "a part of" segment, and built a whole transhumanist philosophy out of this mistake. | |

In "Everything Wrong With Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando (Locked and Loaded)", Vale has trouble understanding one of The Thief's voice clips and their best guesses are "burnt the diaper", "rad indictment", and "bleh, a diet". From the same video, Vale mishears the line "shriek with joy" as "shrink with joy" and criticizes the choice of words, a mistake they acknowledge in future videos. |

iCarly: "iGot Detention": Subverted. After a teacher holding Carly, Sam, and a whole class in evening detention says that the school's principal is a "weak spineless fool", secretly on camera as the Principal is watching online, the teacher tries to cover it by saying he misheard and what he actually said was "sleek, stylish, cool!" "iStakeout": Played straight. The detectives who infiltrate the Shay's apartment to spy on the convenience store next door believe the owner is selling "pirated" movies, which are illegal copies. As it turns out, he's really selling pirate movies, poorly homemade movies about pirates which are not illegal at all. |

In one of the music video segments, Beavis and Butthead watch the video for the song "Sold My Fortune" by Sugartooth: due to the Yarling vocals, they hear the title drop as "sold my futon", and conclude the singer wrote it because he sold his used futon after buying a bigger bed. |

Colin Mochrie vs. Jesus H. Christ provides misheard English sing-along lyrics for its three non-English songs. They get more plot-important as the videos progress. The first video, "French Erotic Film", only has a reference to "an old blue Scot called Dill" to connect to Colin becoming a Scotsman. "Plan 9 from Underpants" has mondegreens with references to Colin and Andrew Kepple (the creator of the trilogy). By "Conquest of Animutopia", plot-important mondegreens are the norm and ones that sound like non-sequiturs happen less than half the time. | |

He also mishears "wasted crying" as "wasted crime". "Better than he can" returns later during the Worst of 2016 list, where the captions gradually go from the actual lyric to "bed a daddy can" to "batter candygram" to "pat a tan Negan" to "pet Dominican" to "yabba dabba damn" and finally "Albert in a can". |

Royal Rendezvous: When Rory interrupts Cat's bath to ask for her help, she covers up with a Modesty Towel and goes to answer the door while yelling "Coming". But he mishears "Come in" so he goes inside, which ends up surprising her and causing an awkward Accidental Pervert moment as her towel suffers a Wardrobe Malfunction due to the sudden movement. | |

Animaniacs: "Roll Over, Beethoven": Yakko, Wakko and Dot aggravate Ludwig von Beethoven by constantly mistaking the word "Pianist" for..... some other mondegreen that could arguably be heard in lieu. It doesn't help that the way Beethoven pronounces it as 'pea-en-ist' rather than 'pea-an-ist'. "Bingo" is entirely based around this, with Wakko mishearing everything Dr. Scratchansniff says during their bingo game. For example, he thinks "B-4" is "before" and "I-30" is "I'm thirsty". Wakko's Wish: The Warners mistake the Big Bad's name, Salazar, for "Salad Bar". |

Monty Python's Life of Brian: At the beginning of the film, Jesus gives the Sermon on the Mount to a large crowd of observers. However, the ones at the back have a hard time understanding Him because of the distance, and one guy consequently mishears "blessed are the peacemakers" as "blessed are the cheesemakers" and "blessed are the meek" as "blessed are the Greek." The first mishearing sparks a minor debate over its (nonexistent) meaning, while the second is quickly corrected by another audience member's wife. | |

Total Drama: In "Not So Happy Campers, Part 1", Chris tells the contestants during the orientation that they will be using a communal washroom. In the original, un-bowdlerized version, Lindsay misunderstands this as "Communion washroom" and objects on the grounds that "I'm not Catholic." The most prominent expression of Lindsay's Dumb Blonde stereotype is that she routinely butchers people's names in a mondegreen style. She normally gets either the first consonant sound or the first vowel sound right, and the Lindsay-fied name usually has the right number of syllables; but beyond that, all bets are off. |

The Perishers: Baby Grumpling owns a cross-eyed teddy bear named Gladly, in reference to one of the jokes listed on this page. Characters often accuse each other of "casting nasturtiums"note aspersions when they think they're being defamed. Tatty Oldbitt spent several episodes convinced she had been sent on a mission to Scapa Flow. It turned out some (probably drunk) humans had shouted "Scarper!" after pushing a bottle in her direction. |

Nat thinks the lyrics from "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" go "I travelled the world in generic jeans" instead of "I travelled the world and the seven seas", much to Josh's chagrin. She also thinks the line from "We Built This City" goes "we built this city on the wrong damn road".

In the lead-up to the murder, Julia overhears a conversation with the line "Bruce stole an armchair and a rococo mirror I rather liked". Several efforts are made to find out more about Bruce; it's not until the final act that Hilary reveals that Bruce never existed. What Julia, "who is not well up on the baroque and rococo periods", overheard was actually "Brustolon armchair and a rococo mirror I rather liked", Andrea di Brustolon being a celebrated furniture maker in the seventeenth century. | |

Popeye: An All-CGI Cartoon by Sony Pictures released a teaser in 2016 that opens with Popeye and Olive asea on Popeye's boat when objects start falling from the sky and splashing in the ocean. Once Olive gets a good look, she realizes that these are pirates that are catapulting themselves as a means of hostile boarding. "It's raining men!" the Damsel in Distress cries, to which the inimitable Popeye remarks, "How peculiar." This is a mondegreen of the 1983 pop song "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls. The following line should be "Hallelujah!" not "How peculiar." | |

First, Roy brings up the word "ghost", then V says "aghast" (which Durkon interprets as "a ghast"), and finally when he somehow gets "a lich is binding ghouls" from Roy saying "which is kinda cool". When the Order is making preparations to head out to Gerard's Gate, Roy asks Belkar to help him find a sextant. Belkar takes him to a group of prostitutes because he thought Roy said "sex taint". Then Roy asks about a cartographer, and Belkar finds him a cart of gophers. |

The background music for one of the official trailers of Turning Red, is *NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me", which can be misheard as "It's gonna be Mei" (i.e. the main character). Pretty much invoked with a line edited from "You might been hurt, babe" to "You might been hurt, Mei". | |

Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth (the author of Call the Midwife) includes the story of Jane who, as a child growing up in a workhouse, innocently claimed Sir Ian Astor-Smallie, one of the workhouse's wealthy benefactors, as her "daddy". This did not go down well with the workhouse staff, who ordered her to repeat the words "Sir Ian Astor-Smallie is not my father." But Jane misheard his name as "See A Nasty Smelly" and, when she said those words, got into even more trouble. The workhouse staff (who already had her pegged as a trouble-maker) clamped down extra hard on her after this, subjecting her to several humiliating punishments until she lost her spirit and became totally withdrawn. However, she did find happiness later in life. note The Jane who appears in season 2 of the TV series is based on her, but was raised in an institution rather than a workhouse. | |

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night: The Assassin is an elite Ape soldier who wears a heavy helmet, which muffles his speech and makes him rather hard to understand. At several points in the game, his attempts at dramatic speeches, threats and Badass Boasts are undercut by the fact that Spyro and Sparx can't actually understand him and stop paying attention to argue over what he's saying. | |

The Nostalgia Critic In his review of Rock-A-Doodle in which, due to Edmond's lisp, it's hard to precisely make his voice out in several scenes (with him mocking it numerous times), and once, the Critic mistakes his shouting for Chanticleer as Santa Claus. When Edmond is first turned into a talking kitten, he exclaims "Jeepers, I'm all furry!", which the Critic mishears as "Jeepers, I'm a furry!". In his Captain N: The Game Master review, Critic hears the title as "Captain N: The Gay Master". In the review of Doug's 1st Movie, characters keep mentioning an In-Universe amusement park called "Funkytown", but he insists they're saying "Fuckytown". In his review of Richie Rich, he tries to figure out what Dr. Keanbeane says at one point ("My inventions!"). He hears it as "Mayan vengeance", "Mighty pensions", "Ma's infections", and "Marty's steakhouse". In his sixth review of old commercials, known as Conquest of the Commercials (2015), he mistakes one McDonald's commercial's tagline, "For food, folks and fun", as "For food, fucks, and fun". In Tentacolino, the shark's Villain Song has the seashells singing the chorus "Oh, you, you, there's no one meaner than you." However, it's so garbled the Critic mishears them. In Battle of the Commercials, he has trouble understanding the Green Goblin's line "You're running out of [web] fluid!" in a commercial for a Spider-Man video game for the Atari 2600, and he guesses the last part is "Blue Whip", "Bloo wigs", "flu weed", or "glue lids". |

Slowbeef of Retsupurae once made a video called "A Public Service Announcement to all Lets Players" wherein he attempted to read American Gods by Neil Gaiman whilst ZoopSoul LPed I Wanna Be the Guy. Everytime ZoopSoul dies, Slowbeef interrupts himself and says "Please Stop Lets Playing I Wanna Be The Guy." At one point he gets to the part where Shadow "was (secondly) going to towel himself off" and ZoopSoul ends up dying at that moment. It is commonly misheard as "Second he was going to tell himself, Please Stop Lets Playing I Wanna Be The Guy." In reality it's, "Second he was going to towel himself - Please Stop Lets Playing I Wanna Be The Guy." | |

Arthur: D.W. is very prone to mishearing words. "Tales From the Crib": D.W. is telling Vicita the story of the time she began to sleep is a real bed which included the Tibble's story of the scary Arachnar who haunts children that have just gotten a big bed. She tries to reassure Vicita that Arachnar does not exist because he is an "Irving legend", told by one's Uncle Irving, rather than an urban legend. When Vicita points out that she does not have an Uncle Irving, D.W. dismisses him as an Irving legend as well. "Postcards From Buster": D.W. has made several homemade postcards of New York City's famous landmarks, or rather her interpretation of them. They include the "Vampire State Building", "Rocks-of-Falling Center", and the "Statue of Liver Trees". The various D.W. Christmas carols on the Arthur's Perfect Christmas album release are all about D.W. doing this with traditional Christmas carols, for example, performing "What Child Is This" as "What time is it when the little hand is pointing at the umbrella stand? Of all the things that Santa brings, I hope one's a digital clock." The gag finally comes to an end when she tries to perform "O Tannenbaum" ("O Christmas Tree") as "O Tanning Mom," resulting in Arthur telling her she can't sing anymore Christmas carols because she doesn't sing them right and her saying she doesn't understand why people like them, given that they aren't even about Christmas. "D.W. Thinks Big": D.W. asks her mom if she can have "the oderant" like her cousin. "Mom and Dad Have a Great Big Fight": D.W. doesn't want to be an "organ." She means "orphan." "Arthur's Knee": Arthur scrapes his knee while at the dump, but doesn't want his parents to know because he wasn't meant to be there. Brain warns Arthur that he could get tetanus or staphylococcus if he doesn't tell a doctor. At the doctor's office, D.W. proudly says, "I told him all about Tetris and Indianapolis and all that stuff!" |

Bloom County: One strip had Opus the penguin mangling "The Star-Spangled Banner" when he finds himself unable to remember the lyrics ("Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light / what so proudly we snailed, at, um, the starlight's last cleaning..."). A Sunday Strip from September 1988 had that year's Presidential candidates George H. W. Bush, Michael Dukakis and Bill D. Cat each translate the notoriously Indecipherable Lyrics of "Louie Louie" based on what they could understand, as if it would tell the public something about them all. Since the ad was sponsored by Bill's Meadow Party, it takes jabs at Bush ("Iran-Contra thing makes me phlegm") and Dukakis ("Kitty she leads me everywhere") while saying Bill's gibberish translation, half of which outright defies transcription, "reveals a simple honesty." |

The Flint Street Nativity: Zoe thinks the lyrics to "Silent Night" include the line "Round John Verger" in place of "Round yon' virgin". Her drawing of a nativity scene includes a large man looming behind the manger to depict "John Verger". Debbie, who's playing Mary, ends up singing the incorrect lyric during the play. | |

Bugs Bunny: "The Fair Haired Hare" has Yosemite Sam enjoy his newly built house by playing a song on a banjo and singing along. "Oh, I can't get a long little doggie / I can't even get one that's small." Sam is mishearing "dogie" (a calf that strays from the herd) as "doggie" (such as a retriever or a spaniel). In “Backwoods Bunny�, a father/son buzzard duo, Pappy and Elvis, is trying to blast Bugs with a rifle with the son ordered to pull the trigger at the count of “four�. Since Elvis is a simpleton, Bugs is able to create a set of pipes to guide the shots to Pappy. Thanks to Elvis’ simple mindedness, he shoots Pappy at “four�, “for�, “far� ("I said 'far' not 'four'!�), “two-by-four� and when Bugs sings “I’m Overlooking A Four-Leaf Clover�. |

My Weird School: In one book, Emily sings "Home on the Range", only she says "cantaloupe" rather than "antelope" during the "Where the deer and the antelope play" line. AJ teases her for it and she starts wailing. In "Mrs. Kormel is Not Normal", the kids hear that they're going to have a new kid, and they mishear "new" as "nude". As such, they think that the new student Neil is a nudist. Even after they learn that he's not naked after all, they continue calling Neil "the nude kid" as an inside joke. |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Pod People: The crew has fun with deliberately misrepeating the movie's lines. "Idiot control now! Bees on pot! Burning rubber tires!" The funny thing is some of the ridiculous lines Joel and the bots sang are the real lines. Also, one must remember this is a dub of a Spanish movie so it's bound to have major issues. note What's even funnier about Idiot Control Now is that no two sets of lyrics written out by fans is the same. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians: The last host segment has Joel and the Bots singing a fractured version of "Angels We Have Heard on High" The Girl in Lover's Lane: While viewing the movie, the crew hear Bix Dugan as "Big Stupid," and continue to call him that for the whole movie. The Painted Hills: While reading the end credits for the movie, Joel and the Bots are surprised to learn that the character whose name they heard as "Pile-on Pete" was actually "Pilot Pete". Last of the Wild Horses: Mike and the Bots mishear character Charlie Cooper's name as "Johnny Pooper", leading to a stream of Toilet Humor jokes. Red Zone Cuba: Servo mishears part of the movie's Title Theme Tune as "Mundo Penis". Both robots mishear Chastain's name as "Justine". Crow mishears "his grandparent meant so much to him" as his "green pants". Prince of Space: When the Phantom Dictator of Krankor introduces himself, Crow utters out a confused �Crank-Whore?� Invasion of the Neptune Men: "Rojium-Tanium" is misheard as "Roji-Panty Complex". It was ridiculous enough that it turned into the subject of a host segment in which Tom Servo contracted Roji-Panty Complex and Mike had to take care of him by administering panties every hour. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: Fingal asks a computer-generated ghost of his mother, "Am I nuts?", which it comes out as "'M I nuts?", leading the crew to think he's asking something about "my nuts." Diabolik has a line being sung by a woman, which Mike interpenetrates as "'Keep my potty down'? Women and their toilet seat issues!" In the revival's Christmas episode "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't", Jonah tries carolling with the bots, but the song he tries to sing is "Good King Wencelas", "the one Christmas song no one knows the lyrics to." |

Good Omens: There's a running joke about how all cassette tapes left in cars will eventually metamorphose into tapes of "The Greatest Hits of Queen". Crowley listens to the song "Radio Ga Ga", hearing the lyrics "All we need is Radio Ga Ga". It's actually "All we hear is Radio Ga Ga." Another time, he wonders who Moey and Chandon are. note The lyrics are "She keeps some Moët & Chandon in her pretty cabinet". | |

Rugrats: While the babies usually just mispronounce words, sometimes they mishear them: In one episode, Chas mentions a library, which they mishear as "lie berry". They wonder if that's a berry that makes you tell lies or a berry to lie upon. In one episode, Lou tells the babies about the Sasquatch, which they mishear as "Satchmo". "Baby Power": The premise is that Tommy didn't hear his parents properly when they mentioned baby powder, so he thought it was called "baby power" and made babies stronger. |

RiffTrax: In the RiffTrax for New Moon, the commentators joke that one of the songs on the soundtrack seems to say "Armed with your staring fly." The song is Roslyn by bon Iver and St. Vincent and the real words are "Aren't we just terrified?" In the RiffTrax for Star Trek: Generations, Kevin makes this something of a Running Gag concerning Patrick Stewart's accent. When Picard tells Kirk that they have to stop the missile launcher for firing the warhead, Kevin grips "There's no time to be sitting in a lawnchair!" And when Picard requests for the ship Farragut to transport him and Riker up, Kevin utters "What did he just call that guy?" |

In "Everything Wrong With Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando (Locked and Loaded)", Vale has trouble understanding one of The Thief's voice clips and their best guesses are "burnt the diaper", "rad indictment", and "bleh, a diet". From the same video, Vale mishears the line "shriek with joy" as "shrink with joy" and criticizes the choice of words, a mistake they acknowledge in future videos. |

This later gets him into trouble when he repeatedly mishears the Scruffy Varmint's orders until the latter reaches his Rage Breaking Point and threatens to have him made into rabbit soup. | |

Terry Wogan was once utterly perplexed by a listener's request for Wogan to play the song about Mulligan's Tyre on his radio show. Neither he nor the production staff could work it out. Intrigued, Wogan contacted the listener and asked. After listening to the fan hum a few bars and say "You know. The one with the bagpipes", the mystery became clear. Terry Wogan was then more than pleased to play Paul McCartney and Wings performing Mull of Kintyre. | |

Everyone assumes that she's simply confused by the name of the song...until a kid named Harold Angel actually shows up. Sally was known for these kinds of blunders. In another Christmas strip, she recites: "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care/In hopes that Jack Nicklaus soon would be there." In yet another, she tells her class the story of "Santa Claus and his rain gear." |

Even the "Deck Us All With Boston Charlie" itself got mondegreened at one point, as "Tinkle, Salty Boss Anchovy." Which caused Churchy La Femme to lament that "The way he's singing it, it don't make no sense!" |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Sleepy Time", SpongeBob enters Sandy's dream where they find themselves in freefall. Sandy tells him to activate his parachute, but he mishears her and says he already has his shoes. "Not a pair of shoes, SpongeBob!" He then pulls out a parakeet and she corrects him again, but is so distracted that she crashes while he falls out of the dream. In "Krusty Love", Mr. Krabs tries to ask Mrs. Puff on a date only to become unbearably nervous and start speaking gibberish. In an effort to help, SpongeBob tries to translate his gibberish and comes up with several horrifying answers before finally getting it right. The answers include "He says he'd like to hit you with a rake." and "try and guess your weight!" In "Arrgh!", Mr. Krabs takes Spongebob and Patrick on a treasure hunt using a map from a board game and a compass. After 10,000 paces, there is nothing, and Mr. Krabs says "But we did everything the map said! 10,000 paces east!" It turns out Patrick thought he said "West"note which he mispronounces as "Weast". |

Heute Show: Enforced. Pussy Riot was all over the headlines at the time, and the moderator rhetorically asked what a pussy is. Cut to a Bavarian politican, talking about some "Parteivorsitzender" (party chairman). Due to his Bavarian and his mumbling, and the set-up, it invariably mondegreened to "Parteifotze". Luckily, as mentioned elsewhere, in Bavaria the word doesn't mean pussy anyway... | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Applebuck Season": When Twilight asks "Can we talk?", a sleep-deprived Applejack misunderstands this as "Can bees squawk?" and "Twenty stalks", followed by mishearing "I need to talk to you!" as "I want to walk to the zoo". Later, she whips up some particularly nasty muffins (Even Pinkie Pie gets sick from them) because she is so tired she mishears the ingredients. "Discordant Harmony": Discord hears "ginseng tea" and assumes it refers to tea that sings. He later changes the tea bags he bought to make them fit the version he had thought of at first. "The Perfect Pear": A visual variant. Goldie Delicious' eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and she misreads "Feud with the Pears" as "Feud with the Bears". "Marks and Recreation": When Apple Bloom recalls a saying of Granny Smith's, it turns out that when she heard it she mistook "find their own way" as "find their own hay". "Molt Down": When Spike strains to speak in complete sentences, ponies, Smolder and Zecora mishear him as saying different things than the original intent. When Smolder is warning Spike about potential predators of young dragons, he mishears "rocs" as "rocks" and asks why dragons would be afraid of stones. |

Music reviewer Todd in the Shadows sometimes points out lyrics that are easy to mishear: From "Imma Be" by The Black Eyed Peas: "I'm a bee! I'm a bee! I'm a I'm a I'm a bee!" (It's actually repeating "Imma be") "Eenie Meenie" by Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber: Eenie meenie miney mo lava...? (real lyric: "lover") "Grenade" by Bruno Mars: Throw my head on a plate for ya! (actually "hand on a blade") "3" by Britney Spears: One, two, three, why don't me, you, and me... (actually "not only you and me") Subverted on "Club Can't Handle Me." The lyrics are so incoherent that he looks them up, only to find that they are the lyrics proper. He actually called The Black Eyed Peas out on this during "The Time", on the grounds that they'd screwed up a line from the source material. "S&M" by Rihanna: Ass, ass, ass and ham, ham, ham... (actually "S-S-S and M-M-M") Any attempt before finding out Kanye is singing "I'm tryin' to bathe my ape in your Milky Way". Likewise, the opening line of Ne-Yo's chorus in "Give Me Everything" (which he finds shocking, as Pitbull is supposed to be The Unintelligible there!). Later in the same video, he invokes this on Ne-Yo's line "Let's do it tonight" which Todd hears correctly at first, but then replaces with "Let's do it to annoy". Becomes a Running Gag in Flo Rida's "Whistle". Todd says that he's checked numerous lyric websites, and almost all of them have different lyrics because none of them can figure out what he's actually saying. Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball": "All I wanted was to break you off / all you ever did was raaaape me". (actually "all I wanted was to break your walls/all you ever did was wreck me") Shawn Mendes' lyric "Better than he can" from "Treat you Better" puzzles Todd for a solid minute, making him guess "Been a daddy gad", "met a nannycam" and "bet on Dan Egan". He also mishears "wasted crying" as "wasted crime". "Better than he can" returns later during the Worst of 2016 list, where the captions gradually go from the actual lyric to "bed a daddy can" to "batter candygram" to "pat a tan Negan" to "pet Dominican" to "yabba dabba damn" and finally "Albert in a can". |

In Naruto: The Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show, when Iruka announces the team line-ups in the style of the One Piece theme song, because he likes One Piece, he sings it as "Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Naruto! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Sakura! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Sasuke! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, that guy!" The actual lyrics to "Pirate Rap" by Russell Velasquez are "Dream it!", not "Dreamin'!" Again, it's unclear whether this was actually LittleKuriboh's mistake or just Iruka's. | |

In Grimbeard's review of The Ring: Terror's Realm, he refers to the player character as "Egg" after mishearing her introductory line. Without subtitles, her pronunciation is just ambiguous enough to sound like either "I'm Egg," or "I'm Meg." He realizes his mistake when he gets to scenes that are subtitled... but after getting frustrated by her stupidity, he decides she doesn't deserve the name Meg anymore, and he resumes calling her Egg deliberately. | |

The Catcher in the Rye: The title comes from an in-universe mondegreen, Holden mishears the song "Comin' Thru the Rye" and adopts this mistaken phrase as his future purpose in life, forming a mental image of himself catching kids who are running around in a rye field (which is inexplicably placed on "some crazy cliff,") which to him is symbolic of protecting them from adult themes, especially sex. The song is actually, very ironically, about two lovers meeting to have sex in a rye field. | |

Ramona Quimby: In Ramona the Pest, which takes place when Ramona's in kindergarten, Ramona mistakes the lyrics "the dawn's early light" (in "The Star-Spangled Banner") for "the dawnzer's lee light" and comes to the conclusion that "dawnzer" means "lamp". This leads to humiliation one evening when, proud of having sussed out a new vocabulary word and trying to show off her knowledge, she confidently suggests turning on "the dawnzer", even adding, when questioned, "It gives off a lee light!" Ramona herself is also misunderstood by others in her kindergarten incarnation. "I'd like to make Q's." "Make use of what?" She then wonders what kind of grown-up doesn't know what the letter "Q" is. (The substitute, obviously, because substitutes are stupid — so Ramona thinks at that age.) Ramona Forever has a minor example, with Ramona referring to Saudi Arabia as "Gaudy Arabia". |

In Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg by Richard Wagner, Beckmesser, having obtained the words to Walther's song "Die seligen Morgentraum-Deutweise" as well as the first spot in the singing contest, proceeds to sing a completely butchered version of the song. It doesn't help that he makes up his own tune, but he also barely understands the words he's singing and gets a good number of them hilariously wrong, turning Walther's dignified poetic imagery into embarrassing nonsense. Unsurprisingly, the crowd greets the end of his performance with derisive laughter rather than applause. | |

South Park: "Ass Burgers": When Cartman's latest ruse backfires due to a mishearing of Asperger's, he discovers a food franchise opportunity when the other kids eat the hamburgers that, unknown to them, were shoved up his ass. "Insheeption": Mr. Yelman mentions that he is herding his sheep while the regression therapist agrees that he is hurting them. "It Hits The Fan": When the bar patrons are excited to hear "shit", Jimbo thinks another word is it at one point: "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy": Miss Stevenson tells Ike they're going to Milan, which he mishears as "Mulan". "Simpsons Already Did It": The boys' misconstruing of the term "semen" as "sea men" causes them a lot of problems, particularly when they tell Chef they think they killed their teacher and they're about to get caught since their "sea men" were found in her stomach, leading Chef to assume they raped and murdered her. It's only in a later conversation where they go into more detail about what happened that things get cleared up. "Tweek x Craig": When calling the President of the Republic of China to learn more about yaoi, Randy mishears his talk about the Rape of Nanking and, when conveying the information he learned to the rest of the adults, proceeds to tell them about "the rape of Don King." "The Big Fix" introduces a huge and wide reaching one. The character Token Black is retconed into being name Tolkien Black after J. R. R. Tolkien all along. Stan had just misheard the name repeatedly. The show takes it a step further and changes the subtitles on previous episodes to reflect Tolkien’s name having “always� been that way. |

In Doctor in Trouble, after Wendover says, "bomb holes", Satterjee mistakenly believes he said "bumholes". |

Gasoline Alley has the Wallet family attend a community singalong of "God Bless America." The line is supposed to be "coming down with a light from above," but the child Ada, full of patriotism but not enough practice, proudly sings that line as "coming down with a light from a bulb." Yes, light bulbs are an American invention, but they don't occur in that particular song. | |

Ace Attorney: Mondegreens are a common source of contradictions. Whether they're played straight or subverted depend on the case. A plot point in case 3-5 is that Pearl misread 'gravely' as 'gravy', which resulted in her throwing gravy over a scroll. Figuring this out is key to getting her to confess that she tried to channel Dahlia Hawthorne at her mother's request; the request letter ended with the sentence "gravely roast the Master in the fires of Hades", which she thought meant gravy from their roast dinner and a scroll depicting the Master. One piece of evidence in case 5-3 is a poor-quality recording of a woman saying "You're a goner." Athena points out that one of the witnesses is named Hugh O'Connor, meaning that the woman could be talking about him. She isn't; it's 'you're a goner'. |

Phantom B.B. tells Springtrap that he knows what to do (referring to their plan to revive B.B.), referring to him as "lapine man". Springtrap responds in annoyance that he's not a pine, prompting Phantom B.B. to tell him to fuck off in rage. | |

Family Guy: "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas": The lyrics for "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly" are sung by Cleveland and Quagmire as "Deck the balls on Uncle Charlie..." In syndication, the line is partially muted, so all Cleveland and Quagmire say is "...on Uncle Charlie..." Peter sometimes does this. For example, he once mispronounced Pewterschmidt as "Pieceofschmidt", Valerie Bertinelli as "Valerie Bertandernie" and Mr. Gutentag as (among many others) "Mr. Googlesearch". One Cutaway Gag showed Peter recording an album of Christmas songs while not knowing the lyrics. This resulted in such gems as him singing "I brought these gifts for you, they're up in my bum..." to the tune of "The Little Drummer Boy". |

Olive, the Other Reindeer has this set off the plot. Upon hearing on the radio that one of Santa's reindeer is injured and that they'll be counting on "all of the other reindeer," Olive decides that Santa did not say this, but the title, and that she is not a dog at all, and that she is in fact, a reindeer. So she goes to the North Pole to prove it. A bus driver later tells Olive that he used to think the pledge of Allegiance was about him, Richard Stands. As in, "And to the Republic, for Richard Stands." There is also a character named "Round John Virgin" a common Mondegreen for the words "Round yon virgin" in "Silent Night". | |

How I Met Your Mother: In 4th episode of season 4 "Intervention" Barney spent far too much time playing an old man as a part his latest play, so in The Tag of the episode we see rest of the gang staging an intervention. In the Season 9 episode "Last Time in New York", Lily finds Ted and Marshall's swords after she thought Marshall got rid of them due to the incident in the Season 1 episode "The Duel" where Marshall accidentally stabbed Lily on the shoulder. While she and Robin are wondering why the guys are into these swords, they begin to duel with Lily misquoting the infamous quote from Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. Future Ted lampshades this. |
