Line 24:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Paprika]]'' uses this gibberish to highlight when someone's mind has been hijacked by the stolen DC Mini. And indeed, everyone spouts this gibberish when {{spoiler|dreams and reality merge in the climax except for Dr. Chiba and her motley team.}}
== [[Child Ballad|Ballads]] ==
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
== [[Oral Tradition]], [[Folklore]], Myths and Legends ==
* The [[Book of Revelation]] is often described as terrifying because of this. Not much of what John of Patmos is describing about the future makes any sense, and if we take his words literally it is still terrifying. A common interpretation of christians that believe the book is for real is that he was shown a future thousands of years ahead of him, so there wasn't simply any words in greek of the 1st century to accurately describe what he saw. It doesn't help the beginning of the book is just average letters to churches in Asia Minor, so the [[Mood Whiplash]] kicks in hard.
== [[Pinball]] ==
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] wrestler [[Humanoid Abomination|Bray Wyatt]] was fond of these, often going into rambling about weird subjects before his target became clear. Of course, considering how wrestlers go, they end up with a threat to destroy his enemy utterly and proclaiming himself a God. When he became ''The Fiend'', the rambling became even more cryptic as he hid himself under a mask of friendliness as a [[Depraved Kids' Show Host]].
== [[Puppet Shows]] ==
Line 61 ⟶ 64:
== [[Theatre]] ==
* Some of the [[Eldritch Abomination]]s warring for power in ''[[Hatchetfield]]'' speak like this. They require a human representative to translate what they want. Wiggly and Blinky are the exceptions, but no one can understand Nibbly in "Honey Queen" when he finally appears. Hannah also talks like this sometimes, when she's having ominous visions courtesy of Webby. Case in point, saying, "Don't go. Two doors, not one."
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 83 ⟶ 87:
** "Boyz Crazy": Dipper investigates when his rival Robbie convinces Wendy to not break up with him after playing a song on a boombox. After fiddling with the recording when Grunkle Stan transfers it to a vinyl record, Dipper realizes that if you play it backwards, it's a brainwashing spell. Dipper selfishly frees Wendy from the brainwashing before Robbie engages in a make-out session. with her, and proceeds to try asking her out. He finds out the hard way that girls don't want to be seen as available or unavailable, and Wendy stalks off after turning him down.
** A plot point: McGucket in "Society of the Blind Eye" and "A Tale of Two Stans" says something that sounds like gibberish. It's actually {{spoiler|"[[Wham! Line| Bill Cipher triangle]]"}}. During the former flashback, {{spoiler|McGucket had completely lost his mind after }}. In the second flashback, {{spoiler|McGucket recited it after he and Stanford's test run of the portal led to him seeing the other side of it, as well as this ominous poem: "What gravity falls and earth becomes sky, beware the beast with just one eye."}}. Indeed, Journal 3 confirms that {{spoiler|Bill deliberately messed with McGucket's mind to continue his plans without interference}}.
* In "The Other Tarts" from ''[[Adventure Time]]'', the Royal Tart Toter has gone mad in his old age and ends the episode with a haunting yet philosophical soliloquy.
