** 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 the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' just babble: "Mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo and love no more. End of line."
** 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."

* In the [[Ashes to Ashes]] finale, {{spoiler|Jim Keats flirts very closely with [[Talkative Loon|Talkative Loonacity]]. He suddenly gets incredibly chatty and incredibly baffling.}} Likewise, in episode 6 of series 3, {{spoiler|Thordie comes across as either a chatty, deranged Sam Tyler, or a very clever man. Although, you'll have to wait until the finale to find out which.}}

* [[Raocow]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/raocow Let's Plays] are filled with some of the most bizarre and surreal commentary one would ever hear. It's compounded by the fact that he's a Quebec native for whom English is a second language (although he is reasonably fluent, he does have some odd turns of phrase) and is highly prone to [[Buffy-Speak]].
** Though he seems to drop it the more frustrated he gets.
