Line 8:
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]].
 
[[Truth in Television]], you little... Ooh, you -- I mean, ''what'' did... I... YOU AAARGH!

Line 31:
** The quote above can be rendered intelligible if read with typical Argentinian intonation.
*** And even more so if you go to the market in Argentina when the prices are rising.
* Captain Haddock in the ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' books often unleashes a tirade of disjointed insults and random words at the subject of his anger.
** In ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Castafiore Emerald|The Castafiore Emerald]]'', when Captain Haddock receives a phone call from Thompson and Thomson congratulating him over his [[Tabloid Melodrama]] reported engagement to Castafiore, he lets out a series of inarticulate angry syllables before slamming the receiver down.
* One ''[[Popeye]]'' strip had Roughhouse so fed up with Wimpy's constant mooching that he had to be constrained to the hospital. He spends his recuperation growling and muttering Wimpy's catchphrases, such as "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." or "I'd like to have you to a duck dinner. You bring the duck."
Line 51:
* In ''[[A Hero (Fanfic)|A Hero]]'', Dalek Sec's fourth attempt at playing ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' to distract himself results in this.
* Very early in ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|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 (Visual Novel)|Phoenix]] in ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'', right after falling square into one of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Trixie's]] prosecutor tricks.
{{quote| '''Phoenix:''' B-but-she-stole-I-ah-uh...}}
 
 
== Film ==
* Rocco's reaction to the Copley Plaza Massacre in ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'' has this trope written all over it. It has the added component of a [[Cluster F -Bomb]] for added entertainment value.
{{quote| '''Rocco''':[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDQCaGlqLFY Fucking... what the fucking... fuck... who the fuck... fuck this... fucking... how did you two fucking fucks... FUCK!]<br />
'''Connor''': Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word. }}
Line 66:
'''Andy''': [''in awe''] She sounds like a tea kettle.|FUCK!! YOU!!}}
* ''[[Bon Cop Bad Cop]]'': ''"Shit de fuck de shit de merde de shit de calice de TABARNAK!"''
** That is ''sacre'', a uniquely French Canadian form of swearing combining common English and French curses with bastardized forms of terms from Catholic liturgy ("calice", "crisse", "tabarnac", etc.). These are strung together with the French practice of stringing random swear words together with "de" (think [[The Matrix|The Merovingian's]] demonstration of French profanity), and the result sounds like Angrish. Ironically, to French Canadians, "fucke" and "chit" are rather mild swear words, to the point where during a punk riot in Montreal, French-language newscasters [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|solemnly read off]] [[Cluster F -Bomb]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|lyrics from an English-language punk album on the]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|evening news]]''.
* The father in ''[[A Christmas Story]]'' was particularly famous for letting loose a stream of incoherent noises when angry (which he often was).
** This was a form of [[Narrative Profanity Filter|creative discretion censorship for obscenities]], which was what made the "oh fudge" scene work.
** "Naddafinga!!"
* Harry in ''[[Home Alone]]'' mutters a string of nonsense syllables whenever he's infuriated, which often happens whenever he falls for one of Kevin's booby traps. Reportedly, numerous retakes were required as [[Joe Pesci]] (being...well, [[Hair -Trigger Temper|Pesci]]) kept accidentally slipping in genuine obscenities.
* In ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'': ''Brain Candy'', Dr. Cooper is horrified at the side-effects of his new drug and goes on a sputtering rant that veers into random directions, such as late fees for his rental of ''[[Rear Window]]''.
* ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]'': Otto's been called stupid one too many times, and can't exactly find a coherent insult, so he just rattles off a bunch of trite swears.
Line 90:
** Note that this is a [[Throw It In]] moment. Madeline Kahn forgot her line and ad-libbed the whole thing.
* In ''[[What About Bob]]'', Dr. Leo Marvin rudely removes his newest patient (and biggest fan) from his automobile, but is far too angry to form proper words. He tries to say, "Get out of the car!" but it comes out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nWycdXHmPk rather incoherently.]
* In ''[[Anchorman: theThe Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'', Ron Burgundy is so upset after his dog, Baxter, is punted off a bridge that he calls a fellow newsman, hysterical. Who replies, "I didn't understand one word you said."
{{quote| I'M IN A GLASS CAGE OF EMOTION!!}}
* Gallo getting locked in a pod "for his own safety" in ''[[Pandorum]]'' unleashes some pretty vicious syllables at Payton that don't seem to correspond to any human language except that used by Yosemite Sam in a frothing rage.
Line 109:
== Let's Plays ==
* hbomberguy will commonly revert to this in his Let's Play of [[http://lparchive.org/Alone-in-the-Dark-<!-- 28200829/ Alone In The Dark]], particularly when being tormented by demons, the game glitches or crashes, or Sarah talks. -->
* [[Let's Play|Let's Players]] of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game)|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.
** The [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Bunny Must Die]]'' reached a similar pitch of True Angrish, as it also blended the fractured monsyllabic rage with a grown man whimpering and blubbering.
Line 131:
* While [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs|not]] a [[Let's Play]] per se, a different ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' playthrough (by [[Hellfire Commentaries]]) contains this at times.
{{quote| '''NTom64 (to FastestThingAlive):''' Restart your sentence, kthnx.}}
** Combined with an [[Atomic F -Bomb]] after the "who's the captain" mission.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in6RZzdGki8 Super Mario Frustration] is pretty much built around this trope.
* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZa0Ie7nm9E particularly memorable clip] from [[Four Player Podcast]] featured this. Granted, this is how Brad usually acts.
Line 138:
{{quote| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16qZtnqUleU#t=45m00s '''VIDEO GAMES!!!''']}}
* During the Battletoads Let's Play Race between [[Super Jeenius]], [[Pcull 44444]], [[Nintendo Capri Sun]], and [[Proton Jon]], Patrick gets so mad, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jCjCFZx0mwk#t=1628s even syllables fail].
{{quote| '''Patrick:''' [[Rapid -Fire "No"|Nono, NO, NO, NO, NO,]] KJASFASKJKDKLSADJKLSAFDKJHFASHKJDHKAFASKFHAJSGFJKASFJASHFASHFKDJGKASJGFKSGFSFHKASKFASDFHASFSAHJKDASDFSFASDFDGSD '''''[[Atomic F -Bomb|FUCK!]]'''''}}
 
 
Line 187:
* Similar to Monica in ''[[Friends]]'', when Eliot in ''[[Scrubs]]'' gets upset, her language shifts into a high pitched whine that only Carla can understand.
* In the series finale of ''[[Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip]]'', Lucy is so overwhelmed with emotions when her boyfriend Tom's {{spoiler|brother is successfully rescued from a hostage situation in the Middle East}} that she can only speak in a blubbery, incoherent mumble, only decipherable by Cal.
* Turned into a [[Running Gag]] on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' as Colin was assigned the role of a man who just caught his wife cheating on him more and more often.
* On ''[[Dirty Jobs]]'', Mike Rowe occasionally slips into incoherence when faced with a particularly appalling task, such as the time he had to wrestle the huge, unwieldy stomach of a dead cow into a trash bin full of decomposing tissue and maggots.
 
Line 249:
* ''[[Kirby Super Star (Video Game)|Kirby Super Star]] [[Video Game Remake|Ultra]]''. Revenge of Meta Knight. Heavy Lobster. Paint Ability. When you hit Heavy Lobster with it, his entire body gets covered in paint and his eyes stop working. He flails around erratically and the crew of the Halberd break into angrish trying to comprehend how easily Kirby pwned Heavy Lobster.
*** Though, it was averted in the original. I believe in the original they were either speechless or just said words.
* Mitsunari from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' is usually pretty good at coming up with gruesome and imaginative death threats, however when enraged his inspiration fails him and he starts yelling "[[I'll Kill You!|I'LL KILL YOU!]]" over and over again.
* Isaac has some beautiful moments in ''[[Dead Space 2 (Video Game)|Dead Space 2]]'', thanks to being [[Suddenly Voiced]]. Especially when he stomps [[Our Zombies Are Different|Necromorphs]], unleashing a torrent of incoherent swearing.
{{quote| '''Isaac:''' Shit! Fucking! Die! Mother ''FUCKER''!}}
Line 272:
'''Father:''' Did we? I once raised a kid with conditioning [[Invoked Trope|so her speech centers shut down]] when she was upset. }}
* ''[[Bob and George]]'', where Future Alternate Mega Man (it's a long story) fights Bob during the events of ''[[Mega Man 5 (Video Game)|Mega Man 5]]''. Mega Man, [[Power Copying|using Gyro Man's powers]], finds a way to penetrate Bob's supposedly indestructible flame barrier. Bob is ''very'' angry about this, but says nothing; Mega Man calls him on it, suggesting he's "inarticulate with rage."
* ''[[PS 238]]'' has a character implanted with a chip which replaces any profanities he voices with random other words. If he tries to launch into a [[Cluster F -Bomb]], he instead starts singing showtunes.
* ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' makes this a [[Running Gag]], primarily with Black Mage although others have fallen victim to it. It's usually caused by something [[The Ditz|Fighter]] says or does.
{{quote| '''Black Mage''': Ffffffffffffffff<br />
'''Fighter''': I think he sprung a leak. }}
Line 295:
{{quote| AG: Or you know, if you're so h8gh 8nd might8 an8 th8nk you're so gr8at, m8y88 you c8uld oh I d8n't kn8w........<br />
AG: TRY AND ST8P ME FROM DO8NG B8D THINGS???????? }}
* In ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', Aggie publicly accuses Penny of blowing off a date with Duane "because he's Black." When Penny asks her to repeat that, Aggie, realizing the enormity of what she's just said, falters for a moment ("Because he's... Because... you're not...") but then comes back at her with "BECAUSE HE'S BLACK! BECAUSE YOU'D NEVER BE SEEN WITH A BLACK MAN! YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR HIM TOO GOOD FOR ANYONE WITH YOUR [[Blondes Are Evil|BLONDE LITTLE BLONDE]] [[GodwinsGodwin's Law|YOU'RE WORSE THAN HITLER]]!"
* In ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'', when [[Money Fetish|Haley's]] looted dragon treasure got blown up, she actually ''[[Up to Eleven|became]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphasia aphasic]'', and spent a whole arc speaking gibberish. In fairness, it did turn out that the treasure thing wasn't the root cause.
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'', Justin gets so angry with Elliot in [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-02-23 this strip] that he is unable to properly respond to Elliot's last comment. He is, however, in control of his emotions enough to tell Elliot he can't continue the conversation, make one last statement and say bye.
Line 352:
'''Gary:''' You didn't ask.<br />
'''Sarge:''' Brg frkin' drdlrs! }}
* In another [[Rooster Teeth]]/Achievement Hunter show, ''[[Rage Quit]]'', Micheal Jones alternates between this and [[Cluster F -Bomb]] constantly as he plays difficult/frustrating video games.
** In the one where he plays The Impossible Game Level Pack: "These spikes will turn your ass into... *hits a spike* SWISS FUCKING CHEESE GODDAMNIT!!!
** In the one for Balloon Guard: *after losing the ballon* GAVIN DICKIE BITCH FREE!!! (Gavin Free is a coworker at Rooster Teeth and one of the co-presenters of The Slow Mo Guys; he had recently defeated Micheal and most of the Achievement Hunter crew in a few multiplayer matchups)
Line 360:
*** And then it cut out again a moment later.
* From the [[Freelance Astronauts]], this is more or less pipes!'s purpose.
* [[True Capitalist (Radio)|Ghost]] has a big problem with this (comes with having a [[Deep South]] accent, [[The Alcoholic|fondness for drinking on the job]] and a [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] combined), although he tends to hide it under [[Tantrum Throwing|storms of cans]].
* [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]] lapses into this during his review of ''[[Ultima IX]],'' specifically when he discovers that the [[Player Character|Avatar]] doesn't know what the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom is- even though previous games in the series had the Avatar deal with the Codex.
{{quote| AAAAAAAAA''AAAAAAAAA'''AAAAAAAARRRRGH!''' '' The Avatar has to ''ask'' what the fucking Codex- No! NO! No, it's- it's... do I even have explain in how many- I can't, I can't explain how i... it's the thesis of the whole... I can't. This is what I'm dealing with. THIS IS LIKE THE POPE ASKING WHAT THE FUCKING BIBLE IS!}}
Line 402:
** And don't forget Ned Flanders. His psychologist even explains that a treatment he received as a child to make him behave better (spanking) worked too well and so, whenever he felt anger, he could only express it by spouting a chain of incoherent made-up words.
*** "Well I'll be darn-diddly-arned."
*** His anger finally overcomes this mental block and inverts the trope, his burning rage turning him into an eloquent [[Deadpan Snarker]] who delivers a city-wide [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]:
{{quote| '''Flanders:''' Calm down, Neddly diddily diddily diddily, doodily. They did their best shodaiddily iddily iddily diddily diddily. Gotta be nice, hostidididildilidilly... aw, hell-diddly-ding-dong ''crap''! Can't you morons do ''anything'' right?!}}
** When Moe does this, he refers it as "choking on his own rage".
Line 430:
* Lemongrab from ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'' is like this most of the time.
* In the ''[[Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3]]'' episode "Never Koop a Koopa", King Koopa finally has the heroes in the position to have Princess Toadstool sign away her kingdom to him. the Princess manages to delay the transfer by asking him to order a press conference, and when he leaves his son Cheatsy (Larry) tries to get her to sign the kingdom to ''him''. In the resulting confusion, the good guys escape, leaving a furious Koopa to chase Cheatsy around his throne bellowing.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Rarity lapses into this in "Sisterhooves Social" when Sweetie Belle's attempts to help her go awry.
* In the ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' episode "Metal Attraction", Breakdown, who's just been buried in the ground by Airachnid, lets out a long string of angrish to which she merely replies:
{{quote| '''Airachnid:''' Sorry, can't understand you. }}
