** In fact, Fred Willard's primary role in Guest's ensembles is to be the most obvious [[Cloudcuckoolander]] in the cast; which is truly a feat, considering that nearly all of Guest's main characters qualify as Cloudcuckoolanders to varying degrees. According various people who have worked with him, he really likes to play this trope [[Truth in Television|in real life]] as well. Christopher Guest described him on the Charlie Rose show as a man who "got into character twenty-five years ago, and has never gotten out"]].
* Thick Kevin from ''[[The Boat That Rocked]]'' is this to a tee, epitomized when he comes to a Christmas party dressed as the Easter Bunny. Bob from the same movie is a slightly less flamboyant version, as he's mostly just a weird guy who's off in his own world.
* Katie, the yellow baby yak from ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'', in spite of having only one line: "In my world everyone is a pony that eats rainbows and poops butterflies." The rest of the time she'll inexplicably: make a ''gonk'' face like she's choking, sit with her back to Horton (he's a kind of [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Baloo the Bear]] "teacher" in this adaptation), and finally {{spoiler|float off into space... in spite of being a hoofed mammal with no wings}}. Fittingly, while the other young animals have parents Katie appears to be completely unique.
* Frank, the paranoid lizard from ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'' is clearly off his rocker.
* All of the lemurs in ''[[Madagascar]]'' seem crazy to some degree, but King Julien XIII is definitely the worst. He clearly comprehends all that goes on around him (which may be why he's King)...

'''Alex:''' Oh. So, do you have any... LIVE people?
'''Julien:''' Uh, no. Only dead ones. }}
