|'''[[Chuggaaconroy]]''', after another failure while playing ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]].''}}
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.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
The technical name for this rhetorical device is "aposiopesis".
Usually includes [[Cluster F-Bomb]] (or sometimes just a [[Curse Cut Short]]). Do not confuse with [[Gratuitous English|Engrish]]. Also compare [[Sarcasm Failure]], [[Gagging on Your Words]] and [[Foreign Language Tirade]]. Not to be confused with Anglish, a [[Con Lang]] of English with the non-Germanic words removed.
[[Truth in Television]], you little... Ooh, you—I mean, ''what'' did... I... YOU AAARGH!
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* 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!]]"'' }}
* In the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic ''[[Nobody Dies]]'', it's possible to tell that Ikari Yui is truly furious when she starts making up words. (Her daughter Kei believes that these are the vilest epithets in the Japanese language. Flurgen!)
* In ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'', Ronan lapses into this after he learns that Sakura {{spoiler|might be pregnant with Naruto's child}}
{{quote|''"WTFF BITHCKDNR,E D?EKRFMMFJF GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WTF IS DIS SHIT! UR RIPPIN ME APART SAKURA!"''}}
* In ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'', Dalek Sec's fourth attempt at playing ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' to distract himself results in this.
* 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.
Line 115:
* 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.

* 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.
** ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series gives us, {{spoiler|The deranged shrieking of the Crimson King}}.
* [[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.
* In ''[[The Eye of Argon]]'', the evil prince Agaphim is reduced to speaking "muffled sibilant gibberish" when Grignr insults him. The "faintly perceptible ceremonial jibberish
* 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.
Line 220:
* Karl Pilkington sometimes drove Ricky Gervais (who's very inarticulate when excited anyway) to Angrish on the old radio shows. A sample as quoted by a diligent [[YouTube]] commenter:
{{quote|I'm leavin'... I'm never... I'm never doing this show again... you talking... I... I've never heard anything... such bol--... you are... play a record.}}
* On Air America, [https://web.archive.org/web/20091001185648/http://airamerica.com/montelacrossamerica/blog/2009/sep/29/lets-not-kid-ourselves-roman-polanski-rapist-audio#close Montel Williams] reacts with a combination of this and high articulation to the people in Hollywood who are defending Roman Polanski for raping a thirteen-year-old girl.
* Mayor LaTrivia of ''[[Fibber McGee and Molly]]'' was frequently reduced to this after suffering an interminable [[Chain of Corrections]] with the title characters.

Line 324:
*** And even THAT is eclipsed by his reaction to the plot twist of ''[[The Secret of NIMH]] 2''. He actually loses the ability to speak and is at a complete and utter loss on how to react at the sheer idiocy of {{spoiler|Timmy's brother being in charge of NIMH, having turned the scientists into dogs, and becoming pants crappingly insane.}} He goes through so many bewildered expressions, [[Flat What]]s, and just general speechlessness that you can practically see his brain shut down. Hell, at the end of the review he {{spoiler|USES THE FREAKING DEATH STAR TO BLOW THE MOVIE TO HELL!!!}}
*** In his review of ''[[The Magic Voyage]]'', the Critic begins by insanely squeaking out "it never stops", "it just keeps going", and some random gibberish before blowing fire out of his mouth. The scene cuts to a shot of the words "One Moment Please..." accompanied by a picture of the Critic gorging himself on meds.
** Also on the site is [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] freaking out during a [[Dungeons & Dragons|D&D Game]] (with some [https://web.archive.org/web/20140710074440/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/aj/as/27724-aj-thedadfreakout contextual animation]).

Line 333:
** 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.

* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] tends to fall into this whenever a game does something particularly bad.
Line 345:
{{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?"
* [[Video Game/Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]] frequently lapses into angrish for one reason or another. [https://web.archive.org/web/20131026064815/http://www.homestarrunner.com/compycatalog.html Compy Catalog] is one of the funnier examples: Strong Bad's verbal meltdown as his brand-new computer suddenly suffers a BSOD (and not the [[Heroic BSOD|heroic kind]]) is ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|priceless.]]''
