Just have to give another shout-out to the funniness that is Reno 911.
On the first season DVD, one episode opens with the tragically dorky Deputy Trudy Wiegel cruising home in her police woman uniform listening to French language tapes in her car. She prissily enunciates phrases along with the instructor on the recording—except she's not repeating the French phrases that she is supposed to be learning. It took a second for me to realize she was repeating the English examples in a very self-satisfied, however clueless, way.
Taped instructor: My husband and I have two cats. Mon mari et moi ont deux chats.
Deputy Weigel: My husband and I have two cats.
Taped instructor: I like pancakes. J'aime des crêpes.
Deputy Weigel: I like pancakes.
Funniest sketch premise I've seen in awhile, however short-lived it had to be.
