This article may need to think of a better commando name. If you have a suggestion, or if you would like to comment on one that may have already been proposed, please see the talk page.
"I am Hercule Poirot!"

Foreign words are often mispronounced, or at least pronounced in exaggerated ways, by various characters.

In Fan 'Stumes 2020, Strong Bad makes reference to Strong Sad's tendency to exaggerate the pronunciation of foreign words, calling it "try-to-pronounce-foreign-words-authentically-but-not-do-a-very-good-job-of-it".
