Line 38:
* Kyouko in ''[[You Got Haruhi Rolled (Fanfic)|You Got Haruhi Rolled]]''.
* Mattie in [[Part Right Half Wrong a Third Crazy]] is a beautiful combination of [[Cloudcuckoolander]] and [[Deadpan Snarker]]. Where would we be without his arguments with his bedside lamp, among other things?
* Tristan from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' is a combination of a Cloudcuckoolander and a [[The Ditz|ditz]]. Almost every line that he gives is an illogical non-sequitur, such as his randomly given cry of "[[Burn the Witch]]!" and "Take off your clothes!"
** The sad thing is, these two examples are him being ''coherent'' in the context of the scene.
** More extreme examples of his [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckoolandiness]] include "I like pudding!" and "I farted, it's funny!"
Line 62:
** To quote Raocow himself: "I'M SO GODDAMN WACKY"
* Demykins from the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fanfic ''[[Those Lacking Spines (Fanfic)|Those Lacking Spines]]'' behaves in this manner, with a multitude of his lines as [[Shout Out|shoutouts]] to other media; when he doesn't quote from various works, he ignores the situation altogether.
** Which is also the common fanfiction depiction of regular old Demyx, because [[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|90%]] of the people who write fanfiction have absolutely no concept of what makes Demyx Demyx. Or any other character, themselves.
* Farfalla The Butterfly Kitten, a prolific [[Fanfic|Fan-Fic]] author and creator of the [http://www.thyla.com/ All-Ages Kirk/Spock Archive], is clearly one of these. Just look at her ''name''. Also, only a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] could write [http://cosmicduckling.com/spirk/gothique.html This.] Or [http://cosmicduckling.com/spirk/subcon.html This.]
{{quote| '''Farfalla's note before one [[Fan Fic Header]]:''' I sometimes refer to [[Slash Fic|slashy]] bits in canon as 'sardines', because they're thrown like little rewarding treats to us little loyal dolphin-like fans... but that has nothing to do with this story.}}
Line 98:
* [[Beach Boys|Brian Wilson]]
* [[Owl City|Adam Young]]. Listen to his lyrics.
** [[NamesName's the Same|No, not]] [[Good Omens (Literature)|that one]], although he counts too, to an extent.
* [[Muse (Music)|Matt Bellamy]]. Firstly, it seems to be [[In the Blood]], since he grew up in a superstitious family who made frequent use of an Ouija board. He's [[Conspiracy Theorist|obsessed with conspiracy theories]]. He's claimed to believe that humans evolved from spiders that float around in space, and he's also said that he wishes the gravity on Earth was lighter so that spiders would die. He likes dressing up in costumes, drawing veins on his arms, and trees. Unsurprisingly, he's used [[Watch It Stoned|shrooms]] in the past.
* Japanese rocker [[Gackt]] is well-known for his odd behavior, particularly in interviews: Instead of answering questions in a straight-forward manner, he instead says things that are deliberately absurd, nonsensical, or lewd, but always with a [[Deadpan Snarker|straight face]], making it difficult to tell if he is joking or being serious.
Line 184:
{{quote| I think Crab, my dog, be the sourest-natured dog that lives. My mother weeping, my father wailing, my sister crying, our maid howling, our cat wringing her hands, and all our house in a great perplexity, yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed one tear. He is a stone, a very pebble stone, and has no more pity in him than a dog...Nay, I'll show you the manner of it. This shoe is my father. No, this left shoe is my father. No, no, this left shoe is my mother. Nay, that cannot be so neither. Yes, it is so, it is so--it hath the worser sole. This shoe with the hole in it is my mother, and this my father. A vengeance on't! There 'tis. Now, sir, this staff is my sister, for, look you, she is as white as a lily and as small as a wand. This hat is Nan, our maid. I am the dog. No, the dog is himself, and I am the dog--O, the dog is me, and I am myself. Ay, so, so.}}
*** And that's just his opening monologue. The rest of the play reveals him to be an excessively melancholy [[Pungeon Master]] who regards his dog as a human being.
** [[The Merchant of Venice|Launcelot Gobbo]], while a less severe case, nonetheless thinks it's perfectly acceptable to [[Good Angel, Bad Angel|argue with his conscience and "the fiend" out loud]] and run around in the middle of the night pretending to be going hunting. Some productions have played him as [[The Stoner|a stoner]] or [[Funny Schizophrenia|a schizophrenic]] to explain his behavior.
** [[A Midsummer Nights Dream|Nick Bottom]] starts out by expressing his desire to [[Talking to Himself|play all the characters in the same play.]] Later, when fairies show up out of nowhere and begin waiting on him, he hardly seems surprised.
* The point of a [[Blue Man Group]] show is that the Blue Men are not of this world, and frequently express amazement and surprise over such things as cell phones, watches, and eating Twinkies with utensils.
