Verbal Tic/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** ''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.

** After being given his name, Wreck-Gar of ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'' begins every sentence that pertains to himself with "I am Wreck-Gar!" The original Wreck-Gar, along with all the other Junkions, spoke almost exclusively in TV catch-phrases. As they put it "We talk TV!" This stems from the Junkions learning to speak by watching old television broadcasts from Earth.

** "[[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 Japanese version of the series Lugnut feels the need to say "ttsu" in every sentence

** His fanatic loyalty makes for some interesting lines, especially if he is saying anything in regards to his grand and ''GLORIOUS'' leader.

** Grimlock speaks insanely broken Engrish. (Well what could you expect?)

** Blurr talks incredibly fast (He is voiced by the fastest talking person ever)

* Motor Ed from ''[[Kim Possible]]'' seriously can't talk two sentences, seriously, without using the word seriously, seriously. Seriously, it's lampshaded every time when someone seriously mimics his seriously expression.

** How do the villains find each other? In Drakken's and Motor Ed's case, they're related:

'''Drakken/Ed''': Seriously. }}

** Wonder what would happen if he met [[The Joker]].

** The Joker, [[Harry Potter (film)|Sirius Black]], and Motor Ed. [[Department of Redundancy Department|Seriously, that would be beyond words. Seriously.]]

'''Motor Ed''': ''Seriously! Aaaahhhh'' * air guitar solo* }}

** [[The Dark Knight Saga|Why so Serious, everyone?]]

** The giant chicken prosecutor has a tendency to say "Ba-kaw!"

** Hubert Farnsworth not only pronounces the H in "wh" words, but pronounces an H in words that don't have it. Since this hypercorrection is fairly consistent, it's not as readily noticeable as when [[Family Guy|Stewie]] does it.

** Zapp Brannigan has a habit of elongating the last syllable of a sentence. [[Billy West]] says he does this to imitate radio announcers who love the sound of their own voice.

* Mr. DeMartino of ''[[Daria]]'' fame, who was even more high-strung than Principal McVicker on ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', would EMphasize certain WORDS when chastising or complaining about anything or anyone, COMPLETE with his left eye bulging in a [[Nightmare Fuel]] fashion.

* 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.

** [[Invader Zim]], also voiced by Richard Horovitz, does the same thing.

* Snap from ''[[Chalk Zone]]'' often puts the word "bucko" into his sentences.
