Line 106:
* Death's skeletons in ''[[Horrible Histories]]''.
* Thing in ''[[The Addams Family]]'' and every adaptation where he appears. Being a living disembodied hand, he has no mouth, and thus cannot speak vocally, but whether it's sign language, Morse code, or simply snapping and pointing, he sometimes seems to have more dialogue than whoever he is conversing with. The [[Netflix]] series ''[[Wednesday]]'' (with its darker nature and TV-14 rating) also gives him an [[Flip the Bird|appropriate way to respond to anyone who insults him...]]
* A common trait of [[Game Show]] models. ''[[MAD]]'' magazine once joked that [[Wheel of Fortune|Pat Sajak]] was likely the only man in show business to constantly be upstaged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanna_White a woman who never says anything.] In , Witch Bandora's
* In the original ''[[Super Sentai|Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger]]'', Griffozar - [[The Dragon]] to [[Big Bad|Witch Queen Bandora]] - rarely spoke, preferring to let his sword do the talking for him. This often comes as a big surprise to American viewers, seeing as his dub counterpart (fans of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' know him better as [[Breakout Character| Goldar]]) is the type who ''never'' shuts up.

Line 167 ⟶ 168:
** Perry is an even better example, given that he can't speak, only purr. And, though Doofenhmirtz has shown to be able to understand what he "says", Perry is mostly just understood by facial expressions and some small actions (like greeting with his hat, pointing or even facepalming).
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Lisa's Wedding", teenage Maggie is described as being a chatterbox - but then she merely rolls her eyes at her father in silence.
** She's also [[Informed Ability|supposed to have an angelic singing voice]], but she gets cut off just as she's preparing to
** Lampshaded in "Three Gays of the Condo" where Homer says that his only worthwhile creation was Lisa. When Maggie takes offense, Homer replies with "Prove me wrong, Silent Bob."
*** Notably, Maggie has said exactly two words in actually canonical episodes: her first word, "{{spoiler|Daddy}}" and later, "''{{spoiler|Ja}}.''"
*** Don't forget when the kids were fostered by the Flanders and nearly baptized...on the way to the river, Maggie spins her head around
*** "Sequel?"
** Maggie can [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t08RbPA90w Silent Bob with the best of them,] canon be damned.
** "Treehouse of Horror XXXIV" has adult Maggie as {{spoiler| a prison guard and Lisa's accomplice in her revenge against Sideshow Bob. Her sly smile while twirling the keys outside Bob's cell as Lisa brutally stabs him to death is all she needs to "say".}}
* Mr. Funny in ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]''. He only honks during Season 2 of the show run.
* Boomhauer in ''[[King of the Hill]]'' isn't ''silent'', exactly, but his complete and utter unintelligibility goes unnoticed by most characters, especially Hank, who according to Bobby often quotes Boomhauer's wisdom.
