* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', full stop, with characters often inserting bizarre malapropisms randomly into perfectly normal dialog. There are also the characters Homsar and Senor Cardgage, who only ever speak this way.

* [[LOLcats]] seems to revolve around extracting humour from posting pictures of cats alongside AOL-speak.

* Many of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'''s musical numbers were acapella non-verbals arranged for a song-like quality. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpcUxwpOQ_A&feature=related Especially funny when done with characters whose speech is incomprehensible.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDFgtFXfnv0 Even moreso if the original is in a language the audience doesn't understand anyway.]

* Taken to its logical conclusion by Eric Idle in the ''[[Rutland Weekend Television]]'' sketch 'Gibberish', which takes a typical television interview, then simply removes the dialogue and replaces it with random silly words.

* ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'' and ''[[Cartoon Planet]]'' just ''loved'' this trope, with segments featuring Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak just saying a single word, such as "pants", back-and-forth to each other for no reason.

* ~~From ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' (one~~ of a vastly ''enormous'' number of examples):

* The Chef Brian strips from ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' most definitely qualify as this.

* Twisp and Catsby from ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' are basically Chef Brian as two people. (Or possibly Chef Brian is them as one, depending on which came first. This led to accusations of [[Plagiarism]] against Tim Buckley, though Chef Brian came first).

* Known as Random-Access Humor in ''[[Sonichu]]''. It's horrendously unfunny, even when compared to other examples of Word Salad Humor.

* ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'', occasionally. Usually from Millie. "Armadillo! Armadillo! The cheese from Zimbabwe has lugubriously flattened my popcorn!"

* [[Thinkin' Lincoln|George Washington]] tried this once just to see if it's funny. It was.

* Some of the answers in ''[[Tims Chemistry Exam]]'' fall into this trope, such as "fork + shoe = spleen".

* [[Bad Lip Reading]], a youtube channel that essentially does elaborate [[Gag Dub~~|gag dubs~~]] of pop music videos, uses a lot of this kind of humor. Witness Rebecca Black singing about gang fights and chicken, Ludacris claiming to be a magic man with a magic goose, and [[Miley Cyrus]] wanting to "get dumb and bang a wizard".
