A character with a thick accent, when misunderstood by someone else with a different accent, may either deny that they're speaking in an accent or be totally oblivious to it. This can lead to huge and humorous misunderstandings. This is, approximately, Truth in Television — everyone has an accent, but many people don't think of their own accent as one, since it's what they're used to. Compare What the Hell Is That Accent? and Unexplained Accent. See also Unintelligible Accent. Examples |

A version where it's not even their accent: In Young Justice, when Impulse passes on a message from the very Brooklynite Doiby Dickles, he does a Brief Accent Imitation, but when Robin calls him on it, Bart's response is a seemingly genuine "He's talkin' wit' an aksent?" | |

The King of the Hill episode "A Fire-Fighting We Will Go" has Hank and his friends giving their individual retelling of an incident. When it's Boomhauer's turn, the flashback has the other men speaking with Boomhauer's repetitive rapid-fire pattern while Boomhauer himself speaks in a slow, deliberate drawl. This implies that Boomhauer thinks his speech patterns are normal and common. | |

Phineas and Ferb In "Finding Mary MacGuffin", they are at a lab coat store looking for a man with a German accent who frequents garage sales. It Makes Sense in Context. They start interviewing people in the store, and a man with a very obvious southern accent remarks, "As you can see, I don't have an accent." Also happens in the Mission Marvel special, between Red Skull and, of all people, Dr. Doofenshmirtz: |

In The Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn takes an interest in Javelin due to his German accent. When he says that lots of American women he's met have expressed fondness for his accent, Harley responds that it's because Americans have no accents of their own... yet she's clearly speaking in her signature City Girl Squawk. | |
