* Nutt, from ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', generally speaks in lectures, and at one point gives Ponder a taste of his own medicine. He also tells the woman he has [[Just Friends|a bit of a crush on]] that he is in fact staring at her arms, because they're such remarkably nice arms; this doesn't seem intended as flirting but rather a friendly compliment combined with wishing to clear up what he was doing. He also shares pertinent but wholly unnecessary details about his bodily functions, which is seen as part of his habit of being "precise but odd".
* One of Daniel Waterhouse's relatives in ''Quicksilver'' by Neal Stephenson
* Gregory draws comic strips in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]'' and suggests giving improvements to other peoples' behaviours; and one of them was telling people not to discuss incredibly private and personal matters ''in the middle of a fast food restaurant''.

The husband replies and talks another Paul he knew. Paul was his plumber, who is bald, has a bladder problem, and has a toe infection. The voice box lady says, "Mr, please! You can stop right there! That's more than I needed to know!" Yes, this is a song!
* [[Toshimitsu Deyama|Toshi]] doing an MC for [[X Japan]] at the Wiltern in Los Angeles: "We've gained a lot, but we've lost a lot too. We've been fucked and we've been sucked."

** In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Eight Misbehavin'", Homer enters the Kwik-E-Mart to find Apu sitting in the ice cream freezer:
{{quote|'''Apu:''' By chilling my loins, I will increase the chances of impregnating my wife.
'''Homer''' Whoa! To much in-for-mation! Thanks for the mental picture! Why don't you tell us what you REALLY think?
'''Apu:''' ''(annoyed)'' Will you stop spouting those hackneyed quips! }}
:* "A Fish Called Selma" reveals that Troy McClure's failed career is at least partially due to a scandal involving his "actions" at the Springfield Aquarium:
{{quote|'''Legs:''' I thought you said Troy McClure was dead?
