When a character has an accent that cannot be explained by the setting. It's often wildly dissonant with the accents of other characters who have the same background. Similar to Not Even Bothering with the Accent, except that the actor doesn't have the accent either — there's simply no good reason for it. It can be explained as being for humor or to take advantage of a cultural stereotype for characterisation, but sometimes it happens for no good reason at all. If an accent is because a character is from a real life place, but uses an accent for a different real life place that is a Misplaced Accent.
