== Advertising ==
* In the area of commercials, the definitive Motor Mouth is no doubt actor John Moschitta, Jr, best known for his FedEx and Micro Machines commercials. He is ([[wikipedia:John Moschitta|according to Wikipedia]]) listed in ''The Guinness Book of World Records'' as the world's fastest speaker. Kids might remember him for the [[Micro Machines]] ads, but those who remember their childhood TV shows more clearly than the commercials may remember him as Blurr from the ''[[Transformers]]'' (listed below). In fact, he voiced ''both'' versions of Blurr. He's even worked with ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Micro_Machine_Man%27s_Life in a parody of his own Micro Machines ads] where he laments his failed marriage and describes his decided method of suicide... [[Soundtrack Dissonance|while Micro Machines cars drive about in playsets.]]

She was also the VA for [[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Usagi Tsukino]], and was able to showcase her talent in later seasons, usually during comedic episodes.

▲* The main character Poemi, in the ''[[Excel Saga (Anime)|Excel Saga]]'' spinoff ''[[Puni Puni Poemi (Anime)|Puni Puni Poemi]]'' sometimes managed to be even faster. Fan translation subtitles would stack to the point where they cover half the screen. The English voice actress managed to survive the ordeal, though she blew her voice out on the second day of recording, according to the DVD commentary.<ref> Fun fact: The DVD commentary for ''[[Puni Puni Poemi (Anime)|Puni Puni Poemi]]'' is one of very few is 5.1 surround sound!</ref>

▲* Sana Kurata of ''[[Kodomo no Omocha (Manga)|Kodomo no Omocha]]'' can be a Motor Mouth Supreme when the mood strikes, far exceeding even [[Megumi Hayashibara]]'s characters. When your subtitles come in entire ''[[Wall of Text|paragraphs]]''...
▲* Haré, the main character of ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu (Anime)|Haré+Guu]]'', is prone to motormouthery when things just get too weird for him.
** In the second season, ''Haré+Guu Deluxe'', the opening of each episode includes Haré spouting out of a rapid-fire stream of chatter, which varies from time to time while Guu dances.

* ''[[Dirty Pair]]: Start the Violence'' begins with the crazy girls pulling a jailbreak for Doctor Sannyasin, a political prisoner of some military dictatorship… at least according to them two. Kei had some fleeting doubts as to whether they have the right man, because he's a cyborg and "all these re-engineered hostile environment works kinda look alike". Then they immediately ''fangirl out'' on this guy, constantly arguing with each other as they praise him. So between the chase, shooting and their non-stop blather he cannot as much as finish saying "I'm not Doctor Sannyasin" (yet it's obvious that's what he tries to tell them) until they escape to relative safety.

More the Ultimate, as he's a teenager who won't shut up at all sometimes. It is heavily implied that this is Spidey's form of coping with his fear during a battle.

* When Mr [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] [[Joe Pesci]] and Chris Rock meet up in ''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'', Pesci starts off with his usual "They fuck you with..." rant and Chris Rock responds in kind, leading to an unceasing tirade by both characters on their pet hates while the protagonists look on in disbelief.

▲* Both Six (Jenna von Oy) and Blossom (Mayim Bialik) on ''[[Blossom]]'' could rev up their speech to extraordinary speeds -- and on at least one occasion [http://www.jennavonoy.de/audio/talk1.mp3 did so in perfect unison]. This is a trait that Six apparently [http://www.jennavonoy.de/audio/barranca.mp3 inherited from her mother Sharon] (Gail Edwards).

* Suga from [[BTS (band)|BTS]] is known for rapping incredibly fast, a trait that features heavily in the Cyphers from their early albums. His verse in "I'm Fine" became memetic because of the insane speed he goes. He can rap even faster on his mixtapes under the Agust D name, as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y_Eiyg4bfk his namesake song] amply proves.
▲* [[Tech N 9 ne (Music)|Tech N 9 ne]] in general, but "Worldwide Choppers" takes it over the top - aside from Tech N9ne himself, it features eight other rappers (including the previously mentioned Busta Rhymes and Twista) who use this style. Twisted Insane's verse in particular is so fast it's almost incomprehensible.

* Gnomes in ''[[Dragonlance]]'' talk this way.
* In ''[[Planescape]]'', The now-deceased Factol Haskar of the Guvners was notorious for this. It was unwise to ask him a question (even one as simple as "Which way to the exit?") unless you were prepared to listen to him for a ''long'' time.
