I know this is a bit on the side of your question: here in Norway (Scandinavia) where I live, we make fun of American English by exaggerating the 'ou' sound of for instance "house", or we exaggerate the exclamation "wow" or some of the sounds we perceive as mindless screaming sometimes... Like this: " Eeeee! WOW ! That's so greeeeaaaat!" (Nothing personal, Americans!) As for the British, we make fun of their language by exaggerating something we perceive as 'snobbish' English. For instance: "Ooooh my deeeaaar...!!" said with a very upper-class accent, (although we probably don't get it right, but we think we do) To compensate for this, let me mention that the Americans make fun of the Scandinavian languages by making characters in series and films say: "hurly burly...!" or by giving them a very singing intonation, and always with a very sad and serious face... or really dumb and naive-looking.

Lol, the Spanish for some reason when they try imitating English people they start with 'wh' from the word 'what' I think. They say something like 'Whitchu whatchou'. I always tell them they're not actually saying anything even tho they think they are lol.

since many people think that English intonation makes it sound as if we are singing, often when they make fun of English it is with really exaggerated rising and falling intonation throughout what is otherwise pretty much nonsense

Well, in China, it's called "Chinglish", and it sounds like this: "Wa te you wan te tu du?" (What do you want to do?), or "Ha lou!" (Hello) "Hao da de you du?" (a transliteration of "how do you do?", but in Chinese it means "your stomach is soo big!"), and "San ke yao wei ni ma chi" (which sounds like Thank you, but actually means "make your mom take three pills") They all get pretty big laughs at this. Hope this helps!

"Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."
"Finger- lickin' good" was interpreted as "Eat your fingers off."
(English Phrase) I think you need a facelift
(Chinese Phrase) Chin Tu Fat
English Phrase) Are you hiding a fugitive?
(Chinese Phrase) Hu Yu Hai Ding?
