The "Adorably" Bombastic Foreigner

The Classic Example: Roberto Benigni back-flipping off chairs and announcing that he "would like to be Jupiter and kidnap everybody and take them to the firmament and make love to everybody" after winning for Life is Beautiful in 1998. The Historical Precedent: In 1961, when Rita Moreno heard she had won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in West Side Story, she cha-cha'ed all the way up to the podium and then screamed "I can't believe it!" into the microphone, which is kind of like a scene in West Side Story, but not quite as annoying.
