Cloudcuckoolander/Fan Works

"Trying to be normal. He wondered what that was like; to try to be normal. Most people were normal, or normality came naturally. Or behaved however they saw as normal. Even most crazy people thought they were normal. Breech was trying to mirror their behaviour to be normal, and like a mirror, it came off wrong. Identical in every way, but somehow wrong; a facade, an illusion. What must it be like, to have to try to be normal?"
 * The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanfic The Long Walk has Leonardo musing on the Original Character Breech Loader, thinking about what it must be like to have to try to be normal. Breech Loader is a Cloudcuckoolander with a badly warped appoach to grasping normality, and a tendency to 'lose it' at the most inappropriate of times. As a quote from the story itself:

""I'm going to work on a shrimp farm. Or something. Some kind of farm. Do they farm crabs? I mean, they must. It's not like crabs just walk into the grocery store. Though I guess they could if they wanted to. Wouldn't that be funny? I don't know, maybe not. But I guess if I was farming crabs I might get pinched. What?""
 * Mattie ("The lamp, by the way, is a terrible conversationalist") and Gilbert ("may or may not be wearing only a cape right now") in Part Right Half Wrong a Third Crazy.
 * For a moment, Calvin in the fanfic ''Theories About Nuclear Winter when talking to Susie Derkins about working on a shrimp farm in Florida, and wondering if they farm crabs.


 * Kyouko in You Got Haruhi Rolled combines this with The Ditz.
 * flintlockEnthusiast and oceanRising qualify for this, in the Homestuck Fanfic Adult Stuck.
 * TR from BHF5 is the premature lovechild of this and Ralph Wiggum.
