Line 7:
** Troz as well, wasn't an original one, it happened in one episode where reversing Zort was related the plot, and it ... well, continued from that point onwards.
* The versions of ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' and ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' seen in ''[[Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N the Game Master]]'' affix the prefix "Mega-" and the suffix "-icus", respectively, to half the words that come out of their mouths. Game Boy is even worse, as [[Seanbaby]] points out in an issue of EGM-Not only does he make electronic beeps and blorts completely at random, he does it because he likes to-he moves his digital lips to accompany.
* Another sentence-ender, but a far more serious one, Megatron from ''[[Transformers]]: [[Beast Wars]]'' had a habit of finishing sentences with a drawn out ''yeessss'', or occasionally, ''nnooo''. (Not of the [[Big No]] variety, mind you, a very smooth one.) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GANJGlKn3xY Watch here.] This is because Megatron's [[Achilles' Heel]] happens to be [[Large Ham|his overblown sense of drama]].''Yeeessssssss...''
** Mixmaster did something similar on ''one'' occasion, and can [[Never Live It Down]]. It's a pretty characterful tic, you gotta admit; he repeats the first syllable of the last word/noun of a sentence, i.e. "auto-auto-auto-bots!", AND it sort of fits his name. It's a shame he didn't stick with it.
** ''Armada's'' Tidal Wave has a penchant for beginning or ending (sometimes both) sentences with his own name. He's also a [[Hulk Speak|Hulk Speaker]], and the fandom can never quite decide if he's that stupid, or if it's just some kind of speech impediment. In the original Japanese, Tidal Wave (called Shockwave) kept that tic when he upgraded to Mirage (called Shockfleet). He ended all his sentences with "Shock!". However, in the American dub Mirage didn't have the tic.
Line 13:
{{quote|'''Wreck-Gar''': Yes friends, act now, destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains! }}
** "[[Hulk Speak|Me Grimlock!]]"
** Even in the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]'' Universe, I, Grimlock, who is gifted with remarkable intelligence, still speak with certain linguistic idiosyncrasies. Mus'nt complain to much, wot?
** In the [[Lull Destruction|Japanese]] [[Gag Dub|dub]] of ''[[Beast Wars]]'', this was used to fill up pretty much every moment when no one was speaking, and several when someone ''was''. For example, Silverbolt ended every sentence with ''desu'', even though in the original, he's either in mid-conversation or silently brooding. We know he's a [[Large Ham]], but come on.
** Japanese-dub ''[[Beast Wars]]'' had ''two'' of these from Quickstrike - he'd end sentences with "gicchon" (Japanese for "snippety!"), and the cobra head on his tail would end with "ko", "bura", or "kobura" (verging on [[Pokémon-Speak]]). And then there was Cheetor, who'd make a growling noise.
Line 54:
** Indeed, it is so, friend troper~!
* In ''[[Gravedale High]]'', Frankentyke has one, man!
* Fred Fredburger in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' has Daisy the Cow, who has a tendency to quietly say "moo" at the end of his sentences.
* Mr. Mackey in ''[[South Park]]'', mmmkay? In one episode, he's speaking Spanish, and ends his sentences with "mmmbien"?
Line 61:
** Their parody of [[Mickey Mouse]] ended all of his sentences with his signature "huh-huh" laugh. [[Dead Baby Comedy|This is kind of disturbing when he's kicking a Jonas Brother until he bleeds.]]
** In an early-season episode, the plane'arium director / baddie hypnotist fibs that he has a medical condition that prevents him from pronouncing the "T" in plane'arium.
*** He was hoping to one day get a bone-marrow transplant (he pronounced that fine).
** [[Michael Jackson|Michael "Jefferson"]] randomly inserted "Hee-hee!", "Ohhh!", and "Ditabederjah!" into his sentences.
** TIMMEH!
Line 76:
* Serpentor from ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' debatably had such a tic, as he took his [[Catch Phrase]] to tic-like levels. THIS, I COMMAND!
* Flownominal of ''[[The Boondocks]]'' ends nearly every sentence with "Naw mean?". In an episode where Riley and Grandad watch too much BET, they can't stop interspersing and ending their sentences with "y'feel me?" and "dog."
* One episode of ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' featured a tribe of [[Mayincatec|pseudo-Aztecs]] who said "-itlan" at the end of each sentence. (They were actually an abandoned soccer team who got their knowledge of Aztec culture from a badly written pulp novel.) They were doing it on purpose, to sound more Aztec. When Carmelita asked what all the "itlan" nonsense is, the team captain calls out to the rest of them, "I declare that we shall all stop saying itlan, itlan!"
* Boomhauer of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' has an incredible array of verbal tics which have a tendency to consume his sentences like some horrifying cancerous growth. Combine this with [[Motor Mouth|the speed at which he speaks]], and it can make his comments [[The Unintelligible|very difficult to dang-ol' understand, man]].
** Hank's "I tell you what", too. He says it after almost every sentence.
Line 136:
** Dr. Rockzo tends to start random words with "ka-ka-ka". As in "I need your ka-ka-ka help!" or "[[Catch Phrase|I do ka-ka-ka COCAINE!"]]
** The band's manager, while worlds more eloquent than they will ever be, still can't seem to go a sentence without pausing at least once.
* As mentioned...I say, as mentioned before, Foghorn Leghorn is prone to doing this...prone, that is (one short lampshades this with a sleeping Foghorn going "(snore), I say...(snore), that is...). This was borrowed from Senator Claghorn, a character on Fred Allen's hugely popular radio show. Foghorn [[Older Than They Think|predated the debut of Claghorn]] by a few months, but once Claghorn became popular, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180116011056/http://www.cartoonresearch.com/foghorn.html the Warner staff turned Foghorn] into a very blatant [[Expy]] of Claghorn. [[Weird Al Effect|And eclipsed him, eventually.]]
** Also from ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' is [[Daffy Duck]] who, when irritated, ends almost every sentence with an aggressive "''bub!''", and [[Bugs Bunny]] who seems to believe everyone he talks to has a Doctorate...
* In ''[[The Fairly
** Does Chet Ubetcha also count? You betcha (but not very often, though).
** Don't forget Doug Dimmadome, who can't just say ''Doug Dimmadome'' without mentioning he is in fact the owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.
Line 153:
** ''[[Starfish Language|Meap!]]''
** Khaka Peu Peu finishes practically every sentence with the phrase "Thank you very much," thank you very much.
* Probably not the [[Ur Example]], but still older than most or all other examples in this section are [[The Smurfs]] who like to replace random words in their sentences with "[[
* Oh [[Courage the Cowardly Dog|Freaky Fred,]] never haughty, has a verbal tic that's quite...Nauuughty.
* In ''[[Regular Show]]'', Mordecai and Rigby repeat a "Hm! Hm! Hm!" tic, which seems to state agreement and/or amusement.
* Dagget from ''[[The Angry Beavers]]'' tends to inject "Eh" into his sentences when confused or angry.
{{quote|'''Dagget:''' Stupid EH! Stupid EH! Stupid EH!}}
** [[Invader Zim]], also voiced by Richard Horovitz, does the same thing.
* Snap from ''[[
* Vince from ''[[Recess]]'', man.
* Cow from ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'', moooo!
Line 167:
* Uncle from ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' whenever he was annoyed or agitated he would shout "Aieyaah!" and when notifying others he would say "Hacha!", in one episode Jade absorbs Uncle's chi to save her from the Chi Vampire and she starts using his tics.
