== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The Xaositects, or Chaosmen, one of the factions in the ''[[Planescape]]'' setting for ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'', talk in "Scramblespeak", where all the words are mixed up. Except when they don't - if they ''always'' did something, that wouldn't be [[Chaotic Neutral|chaotic]].

* {{spoiler|Dr. Higgenbotham}} is one of these in [[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet]] 2.
* This happens to the Colonel {{spoiler|generated by the AI GW}} at the end of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 2'':
{{quote|''"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple-stuffed worm in flap jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw-blink on Hara-kiri Rock. '''I need scissors! 61!'''"''}}
Line 150:
*** "Dad, I'm in space! 'I'm proud of you, son.' Dad, are you space? 'Yes. Now we are a family again.'"
*** SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! YEEEEEEEHAAAAW!
* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' turns out to be a Talkative Loon, having [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|literally gone mad with power]] by the time of the endgame. And he's still is an imposing villain, they actually made this trope [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy]] instead of [[Narm|funny]].
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Giygas:''' Ness! Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness!}}}}
* Liz and Ard from ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 2]]'', although arguably this is due to an abysmal translation rather than the characters actually being crazy. This is particularly the case for Liz; his(?) dialogue was a stylistic choice created by translating his dialogue ''literally'' from Japanese. The result is nonsensical and even confuses the main characters.
* Some hobos in [[Kingdom of Loathing]], ''especially'' Hodgman the Hoboverlord, whose dialogue is randomly generated. A sample:
{{quote|"Which... PORCH swing? Tell me which porch swing. Growl... Where's... The Pope?" }}
Line 254:
* [[Purple Prose/Quotes|An example on this very wiki.]]
* The [[Ultimate Warrior]]. What makes it really scary is, it's hard to tell how much is [[Kayfabe]] and how much is serious. The reason [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] parody version is so damn funny is because it's pretty accurate (with the possibly exception of the random pop culture references - "You'll need an [[Transformers|Energon cube]] the size of Wyoming to defeat ''my'' Autobots, [[Verbal Tic|Hoakogan]]!").
* [[Jon TronJonTron]] ''[http://normalboots.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=35&Itemid=11\]'', a recent emergence in the game reviews community, often throws in completely incoherent ramblings in a pseudo-Bill Cosby fashion to the reviews. Even going so far as to rate Donkey Kong Country Returns six golden bananas plus out of Shigeru Miyamoto. And this is meant to be an accurate description of what is 'Like the best game for the Nintendo Wii like ever'.
* In the field of mental health, this is known as schizophasia, sometimes called "word salad". It is usually symptomatic of other serious mental conditions, including schizophrenia. Schizophasia also falls within the broader term of formal thought disorder, or FTD.
* Macaws usually become this if they learn how to speak.
