以下一段遊客和客房服務部的對話，據說是發生在亞洲某酒店的實錄，明顯是諷刺東南亞英語的獨特口音；在電郵中傳來傳去很久了，據說曾刊登在Far East Economic Review(待考)和獲選為Best Email of 1999(怎樣選的？)
題目是 tendjewberrymud

上面的笑話，很可能是外人惡搞杜撰，大家看不明哪一句的，可以留言發問。
下面這個，是新加坡人自己製作的自嘲：
VIDEO 這短片的留言者之中，卻有一個英國人說，新加坡英語並非那麼不堪，有存在的價值，新加坡人毋須以口音為恥：
I'm sorry but I AM ENGLISH so I think I'm allowed to comment. Also I'm studying the language we all speak at Oxford Uni. Singlish is something to value because it makes you unique. You sound better than Americans and smarter that westcountry folk (which is, believe me a good thing) so long live singlish and its lovely english scrambling, chinese incorporating, melting pot brilliance. That is how English was born so well done and keep up the good work. P.S. Singapore is great.
