Angrish: Difference between revisions

[[File:ARGH 243.jpg|frame]]

 

 

A character is so angry, pissed off, or shocked that he or she is literally unable to form a coherent sentence. Other strong emotions are sufficient to render a person unable to speak proper English (or whatever language is being spoken at the time), but shock, anger, and pure rage are the most common. It usually takes a little while for him or her to recover, at which point he or she explodes into rage normally.

The technical name for this rhetorical device is "aposiopesis".

 

 

[[Truth in Television]], you little... Ooh, you—I mean, ''what'' did... I... YOU AAARGH!

* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'', Harry drinks Comed-Tea, which guarantees a [[Spit Take]] for whoever drinks it. Testing it out, Harry drinks it, and immediately catches sight of an issue of the Quibbler, which proudly declares "BOY-WHO-LIVED GETS DRACO MALFOY PREGNANT!" Cue [[Spit Take]]. Harry and Malfoy are reduced to "Buh-buh-buh-buh..."

{{quote|''Too many competing objections, that was the problem. Every time Harry tried to say "But we're only eleven!" the objection "But men can't get pregnant!" demanded first priority and was then run over by "[[Ho Yay|But there's nothing between us, really!]]"'' }}

{{quote|''"WTFF BITHCKDNR,E D?EKRFMMFJF GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WTF IS DIS SHIT! UR RIPPIN ME APART SAKURA!"''}}

* Very early in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'', Ringo is panting heavily, frightened out of his mind, embracing Paul, and angry at George; he spouts: ''"You're - I'm - glad - can't - George - asshole - he won't - "''.

* [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix]] in ''[[Turnabout Storm]]'', right after falling square into one of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Trixie's]] prosecutor tricks.

* [[Let's Play]]ers of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'' often fall into this mode during particularly hellish segments where [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombing]] is no longer enough.

** And let's not even touch upon the fangames.

* Pretty much half the words that come out of [[Sir Ron Lionheart|Sir ROOOOON Lionheart's]] mouth are incomprehensible laughter, screaming and frequent [[Curse Cut Short|"OH WHAT THE-]].

* [[Freelance Astronauts|Freelance Astronaut Pipes!]] is somewhat famous for his creative use of profanity when his smack talking distracts him to the point of playing himself into a corner during multi-player sessions with the other Astronauts.

* Kind of Word Salad Angrish, but from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCm9FYZhBA#t=6m35s this] Lets Play of [[That One Level|a]] [[Kaizo Mario World]] [[Kaizo Trap|level]].

{{quote|'''[[Proton Jon]]:''' For the love of BATMAN.... jump! Bill Cosby! Is angry! [[The Ren and Stimpy Show|Stimpy!]] I need... SPACKLE!}}

* [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'s uncle, Vernon Dursley. All the time.

** The most memorable quotations are "He made a sound like a mouse being trodden on" and "Mimble wimble".

{{quote|"Do you – do you think I want to – do you think I give a – I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SAY!"}}

* Glen Cook plays with this in his ''[[Garrett P.I.]]'' novels, having characters who are furious and/or recovering from a blow to the head speak in Angrish ... or seem to, as in one case it's revealed that the gibberish-speaker is actually cursing fluently in Elvish.

* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Cell]]'' involves a Hate Plague "Pulse" afflicting people using their cell phones, sending them into berserk rages while gibbering Angrish.

* [[Belisarius Series|Belisarius]] is reduced to this in ''Destiny's Shield'', when Antonina refuses to take along guards on her trip to Egypt.

* In ''[[Malevil]]'', Momo is reduced to this when their wheat harvest comes under attack. What's significant is that Momo is [[Man Child|barely]] [[Speech Impediment|capable]] of speech in the first place.

* Zilpha Keatley Snyder has David Stanley do this in ''[[The Headless Cupid]]''. He is slightly shy and reticent because he's been teased for stuttering when he's angry. His half-sister finally infuriates him to the point that he doesn't care.

 

** Several commenters thought that he was [[Foreign Language Tirade|screaming in German]].

* The ''[[Inheritance Cycle|eragon-sporkings]]'' lapsed into this after a particularly bad piece of [[Moral Dissonance]] from [[Designated Hero|Eragon]]—specifically, after he left two people to be eaten by the Raz'ac so that he'd know whether they were in the area, then after they were eaten assuaged his guilt by saying that they couldn't defend everyone. Then regained speech long enough for a rant including "MY HATRED FOR YOU SEETHES LIKE THE ROTTEN UNDERBELLY OF A BLOATED ZOMBIE CORPSE" before lapsing back into Angrish.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101227002948/http://markreadstwilight.buzznet.com/user/journal/4398741/ Mark Reads Twilight] uses the head-smacked-on-the-keyboard kind of Angrish, especially in ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'s'' later chapters.

{{quote|'''Book''': "Bella." Edward's voice was very soft. Alice and Emmett looked out their windows. "If you let anything happen to yourself--anything at all--I'm holding you personally responsible. Do you understand that?"

{{quote|A hypothetical Andy Wachowski, having just been informed by Joel Silver that Warner has greenlighted ''[[The Matrix]] 7'': "KILL YOU. BULLETS IN YOU AND KILL. SO MUCH ANGRY. JUST."}}

* In [[The Agony Booth]] forums, one poster during a discussion of ''[[Mind Screw|Southland Tales]]'' alternated between sensible statements and "Who the which now?"

** Written out on occasion as well ([http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail121.html Waudju- gighi- ikuh...])

* mpn1990's review of ''[[Action 52]]''. "Don't tell me this game just fucking crashed on me! OH MY GOD! (unintelligible bloodcurdling screams) DAMN YOU ACTION 52! GOD DAMN YOU TO FUCKING HELL! [[I Can't Take It Anymore|I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!]]"
