Ooh, hat dags 
I don't even know what accent "terlit" is from
Me neither! I’ve heard it in the in the northeast as well as the south.
I say this just because I think its funny
nucular
Now watch this drive
I knew a guy in my IT office that would say "Catch-pa" instead of "Captcha" or whatever. Very consistently and deliberately.
Ooh, idk why but that reminded me
Friend's friend's bandmate that always pronounced the music gear brand Ibanez like the last name "Ibañez"
(To be fair I'm pretty sure that one was at least actually right at some point, but everyone says "eye-buh-nez" instead of"eee-bahn-yez")
An administrator at my school said "Chick-a-fil-a"
It took me a couple of looks to see what was wrong here
Every white boomer in America says "chipolte" instead of chipotle and it annoys the shit out of me. Like they don't even use the Americanized version of the word they just straight up say it wrong 
Oh man, so many corny older relatives love saying "tar-zjayyy" for Target like it's funny to pronounce it like it's French for some reason
it's because French is the lingua franca of esoteric angloid douchebaggery.
Ah ouais. Le Tar-zjay, Le Kro-zjay... c'est magnifique, c'est incroyable. Allons-y, si vous plait.
my fave is to pronounce Publix as PUBE-licks. that's a crowd pleaser and if you say it front of a parent with their child, it has cascading effects.
Mwaaahhh the French douchebaggery has always been celebrated for its excellence
THE FRENCH STORE HURR HURR HURR okay mom thanks I hadn't heard that one since yesterday
My old store manager would use the word "preface" to mean that he agreed with something. He didn't say it in a weird way, I think he just didn't know what it meant.
If you said something he liked he'd say "I'd like to preface that statement" and no one ever corrected him
Knew a guy that thought using "vis à vis" whenever he could made him sound smarter, but he said it with a weird stress on the first syllable and rushed it all together, so everyone referred to him as "Visa-vee" in passing behind his back
At he beginning of the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou, the trio of main characters find themselves on a railroad handcar being operated by a blind seer. As he's giving them a prophecy, he says the word obstacles like "ob-stack-els". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pukq_XJmM-k
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Mr. Regular: "cubby" sounds like "cube-y"
Subaru Farester
"sen-sors"
I watched a police interrogation video years ago where a Canadian cop said "garage" like garr-aaaj, and it's stuck with me since.
Also the way Trump says "china" sounds like the second syllable to vagina to me.
Speaking of Canadian
Randy on Trailer Park Boys
"Mr. Lahey, the carrrr!!!"
I think maybe it's a New York thing, but people saying "chwenny" instead of "twunny" for twenty
Cracy 
Washington Deesee
Buh-byee
Mike Nelson of MST3K and Rifftrax pronounces prequel "pree-KWELL" with a strong stress on the second "e".
I can't not notice it every time he says it.
