Quite transparent and distracting, for the most part.
Talkative Loons can sometimes actually be misunderstood [[Waif Prophet
Talkativeness that takes the form of a single phrase repeated ''ad nauseam'' is a [[Madness Mantra]].
Note that this sort of behavior is [[Truth in Television|a real symptom of certain real mental illnesses,]] particularly schizophrenia (psychiatrists call this kind of talk from a schizophrenic patient "Word Salad") but it is far from universal, even in schizophrenics. In the real world, the insane do not, as a general rule, identify themselves quite so easily and conveniently. Of course, they might not be crazy. Just brain damaged and might be suffering from aphasia.
See also [[Word Salad Philosophy]], [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and your average porn spam. If they're the main character, try [[Through the Eyes of Madness]]. A similarly disjointed title is a [[Word Salad Title]]; the musical equivalent is [[Word Salad Lyrics]]. Can often be caused by an [[Intoxication Ensues]]. The babble they spit out might include an [[Ice Cream Koan]] occasionally.
Not to be confused with the narrator/protagonist of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]''.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Several points in ''[[Paprika]]'', when characters are being pulled into dreaming even while awake, they recite non sequitur phrases in a loud and usually delighted voice. When the dreams get out of control, this phenomenon affects part of a city, driving its members to form a parade.
* Shiro from ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' exhibits this often enough.
* In ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' Paltenon combines this with [[Jive Turkey]]. It must be seen to be believed.
* Graham Spectre from ''[[Baccano!]]'', who combines this with [[Warrior Poet]]. Damned if we know what the hell he was talking about half the time.
** His friend [[Anti-Hero|Ladd Russo]], who is even more insane, falls into this category, spitting out a stream of nonsense about boxing while [[Curb Stomp Battle|repeatedly punching a random Lemure so hard he has no face left when Ladd's finally done.]] When the two actually encounter each other later in the series, they spend the [[Ham
** The [[Light Novels]] introduce Christopher Shouldered, a murderous homunculus prone to melodramatic monologues on innocuous things like nature and umbrellas.

* Happy Noodle Boy from Jhonen Vasquez's ''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'' can often be found standing in the middle of a park, yelling nonsense at anyone he comes across.
* ''[[The Sandman]]'': Delirium of the Endless. Always.
* Starman of the [[Justice Society of America]] (formerly Star Boy of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (
* Marvel antihero [[Deadpool]] is one of these; it's at least partially due to [[Medium Awareness]] and it's one of his combat tactics. Opponents get distracted because he never stops talking.
** Another part of it is due to him being a [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Cloudcuckoolander]] who deliberately overplays his "lunatic" role...some of the time.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* The main character of the [[Doom (Comic Book)|Doom comic book]]. Sample quote: "Knock knock who's there ME! Me me me me me me me me." It gets worse.
** "At this particular moment in time I don't think I've had a healthier or more deeply felt respect for any object in the universe than this here shotgun..."
* A story arc in [[Tintin]] ''(Cigars of the Pharaoh/The Blue Lotus)'' had the bad guys shooting people with poisoned darts to make them go mad; pretty much all the victims became this.

*** Flipping it around, HEX once managed to get a lucid remark out of the Bursar during one of his downswings when Ponder programmed it to behave like one of those "therapist" computer programs, and it repeated the Bursar's gibberish as though it was a coherent statement it wanted the Bursar to expand on. The Bursar accused it of making fun of him, and Ridcully cheerfully declared that it had "out-Bursar'd the Bursar".
** Also, Mrs. Tachyon from ''[[Johnny and The Bomb]]'', who used Ole Ron's catchphrase on at least one occasion ('course, she wasn't actually mad. It's just that her mind is everywhere and everywhen at once. Her thoughts are apparently perfectly lucid).
* The Weavers in [[China Mieville]]'s ''[[Bas-Lag Cycle]]'', in addition to being gigantic spidery [[Eldritch Abomination
* There was a darkly hilarious [[Stephen King]] short story, ''Lunch At The Gotham Cafe'', about a waiter who starts talking like this and trying to stab the diners.

* Brandon Sanderson's ''[[Alcatraz Series]]'' has a character whose [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|magic power is to talk in utter nonsense.]] It makes him an excellent spy, since he can arrange to be literally unable to reveal information no matter the torture without actually having to kill himself. {{spoiler|No one knew he was sometimes delivering prophesies, and can be understood by someone wearing the proper pair of glasses.}} Rutabaga.
* ''[[Finnegans Wake]].'' The entire book is one long
* Eilonwy from ''[[Chronicles of Prydain]]'' has shades of this: a smart, strong-willed, witty and romantically attractive girl, who nevertheless rambles away a lot, uses [[Talks Like a Simile|strange similes]], [[Does Not Like Shoes|likes to walk around without shoes]] and is generally a [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
* Invoked in a [[Sherlock Holmes]] story, where the [[Big Bad]] of the episode tries to poison Holmes. Holmes takes to his bed, refuses to eat, and starts rambling incoherently in front of Watson. {{spoiler|It's all play-pretend on Holmes part, justified by "Watson, [[We Would Have Told You But|I had to make you believe I was truly sick]], or you wouldn't have been able to play your part convincingly in my little [[Batman Gambit]]".}}
* In "The Hunt" by [[Stanislaw Lem|Stanis]]ł[[Stanislaw Lem|aw Lem]], a lunar mining robot was damaged by a meteor shower, causing it to go on a berserker rampage. It also broadcasts a radio signal, which consists of random mining-related phrases:

* In ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', the E. Henry Thripshaw's Disease sketch. "And the thing about saying the wrong word is, A, I don't notice it, and B, sometimes orange water given bucket of plaster."
* Drusilla (and, briefly, Spike) on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Also the ward full of Glory's "brain-suck" victims in the Sunnydale hospital, {{spoiler|and Tara, who got brain-sucked late in the season and was later restored}}. All three examples also had some degree of prophetic or otherworldly knowledge.
** Though Spike, when he was crazy, also showed tendencies to self-mutilation - trying to "cut" his soul out, hugging the cross in ''Beneath You'', and hitting himself in ''Help''. Hmm.
** And a lot of babbling was actually just him talking to the First, who nobody else could see or hear but him.
** Joyce also did this in the episode ''Listening to Fear''.

* Bridge from [[Power Rangers SPD]] slips into this from time to time. Sometimes it even seems intentional [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|like when he uses it to interrogate a prisoner]]. We love him for it.
Line 90 ⟶ 92:
** Also, the rest of the universe considers Crichton to be one as well, and upon learning that there is an entire planet where he's considered to be normal ("Erp"), Moya's crew resolves to avoid it like the plague.
* In the episode "Signals and Codes" of ''[[Burn Notice]]'', Michael is approached by a schizophrenic man named Spencer who, despite being a pattern-seeing computer genius also believes that Michael is a member of a secret group of guardian aliens fighting against the forces of darkness. At the end of the episode {{spoiler|he's on medication and Sam's gotten him a job with a cryptographer friend of his, so the babbling is a bit lessened}}
* Sometimes the Hybrids on [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the new ''
** Sometimes they're prophetic: "Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light. In the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow."
** Sometimes [[No Fourth Wall]]: "Throughout history the nexus between man and machine has spun some of the most dramatic, compelling and entertaining fiction."
* The people of Trinity struck by [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Merlyn]]'s plague on ''[[American Gothic]]'' suffered from this as well.
* Arguably, Livia on ''[[Rome]]''. There's a scene where she and Octavian have S/M sex, and once they're finished Livia starts talking. "''I like birds. But I don't like eggs. There's something quite sordid about eggs.''"
** Or she was just bored while Octavian had sex with her. And there is something sordid about eggs. You do know where they come from, right?
* The various shopkeeper/hairdresser/other-occupation characters played by [[Stephen Fry]] in [[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]. "Good day!" "One of a goodness it is indeed!" is just a start...
** "Mr. Dalliard? Mr. Dalliard, I've gone all peculiar now!"
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
* On ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Hiro starts speaking in just fanboy references after getting his memories jumbled up. He's just about to be committed to the loony bin until Ando realizes that Hiro is attempting to tell him something and pieces the references together.
* In the ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' episode "Failure to Communicate," a patient finds himself suffering from aphasia after hitting his head, saying a bizarre combination of synonyms, rhymes, loosely-connected words and similar-sounding words instead of the words he intends to say.

* One of these shows up in the fourth episode of ''[[The Pacific]]'', [[The Insomniac|pacing back and forth all night]] and flying an imaginary plane.
* [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]] occasionally comes across as this, particularly the Fourth, Tenth and Eleventh.
** Also, from "The Stolen Earth", Dalek Caan has been reduced to a babbling lunatic, due to {{spoiler|his warping back into the Time War to rescue Davros; the trauma destroyed his mind}}.

She's actually saying what the main character thinks in her presence; she doesn't have any thoughts of her own or a sense of self.}}

While perfectly capable of carrying on a lucid conversation, when he's not actually doing that, he's constantly muttering to himself, because he's trying to work out all the connections in his conspiracy theory, and the inside of his head is the only place he's got left to write on.

** ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' has a different take. After tinkering with some ancient artifacts, Strong Bad is able to have an actual conversation with Homsar, and it turns out the loon is actually an eloquent speaker and quite intelligent in his native tongue. Strong Sad, however, just hears ''both'' talking in gibberish.
** Another such character could be the Drive-Thru Whale, a disembodied drive-through speaker that spouts nonsense like "Sever your leg, please, it's the greatest day," and "Pour gravel on your stump please, ma'am." (over a bunch of static, naturally).

* [[Megatokyo|Largo]] comes off as this quite a lot, between his l33t sp34k, technobabble, and constant paranoid beliefs that zombies will be taking over the area (which later turns out to be more or less true). All of this coupled with the fact that he doesn't speak any Japanese usually leads to him being arrested by the police (it was also implied to have [[Noodle Incident|have something to do with being handcuffed by mounties and deported from Canada]]).

Some of his favorite topics are his own name, beans, and encouraging people to "Hail Brak!", a request with which they comply with astonishing consistency.
** In a previous show (''Cartoon Planet''), Brak is also infamous for his bizarre songs, like "I'm driving down highway 40 in my pick-up truck" - which is just this line, repeated over and over in various ways - and naturally, a song dedicated to beans of all kinds.

He sometimes was more of a musical loon, either singing something completely out of nowhere ("Oh I'm jutht wild about Ha-rry, and Harryth wild about meeee!") or making up his own lyrics to songs ("Oh when they say I'm nutsy, it sure givth me a pain, puh-leath path the ketchup, I think it'th going to rain!")
