* Agnes from ''Franchise/DespicableMe'', but in an adorable way. She lives in the real world well enough, but she sees things the way she wishes they were, not the way they really are. And she doesn't yet know how to filter her thoughts, so what she says sometimes comes out sounding a little ''odd''. Justified, considering that she's five years old in the first movie and turns six in the second movie.

Among other things, she uses a deadly jellyfish as a trampoline, [[AccidentalMisnaming frequently misremembers the name of the title character]], and believes she can speak the language of whales (this one turns out to be true, though). She even mumbles non-sequiturs in her sleep:
-->'''Dory:''' Careful with that hammer... sea monkeys got my money... yes, I'm a natural blue...
* Forrest from ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'', a ''Styracosaurus'' who is [[GoMadFromTheIsolation desperate enough for company]] that he keeps a small menagerie of critters around (including a small lizard named "Fury", a tusked gopher named "Dream-Crusher", and [[OddNameOut a cardinal named "Debbie"]]) just to have someone to talk to.
* Katie, the yellow baby yak from ''WesternAnimation/{{Horton Hears a Who|2008}}!'', in spite of having only one line: "In my world everyone is a pony that eats rainbows and poops butterflies." The rest of the time she'll inexplicably: make a ''gonk'' face like she's choking, sit with her back to Horton (he's a kind of [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Baloo the Bear]] "teacher" in this adaptation), and finally [[spoiler: float off into space... in spite of being a hoofed mammal with no wings]]. Fittingly, while the other young animals have parents Katie appears to be completely unique.
* Every ''Ice Age'' film has one of these.
** ''WesternAnimation/IceAge1'' has the Dodos, a species that plans to survive the Ice Age which even they themselves say will last for billions of years, with a stockpile of 3 watermelons. Possibly {{Fridge Brilliance}} though, because historically they survived much longer than mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers.
** ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown'' has Ellie, a mammoth who thinks she's a possum, despite the obvious size difference between her and her "brothers." She got better.
** ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs'' has Buck, a hyperactive and paranoid one-eyed weasel who most likely lost part of his brain when he lost his eye.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': KARI...THE BAAAAYBEEEESITTEEEER! *EyeTwitch*. Then again, after what she had to put up with in babysitting Jack-Jack, most people would be a tad deranged.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'''s Uni-Kitty. What makes this example so fitting is that the World that she originates from and rules over is ''actually'' named Cloud-Cuckoo Land, making her a LITERAL CloudCuckooLander.
* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': Lilo is a very strange girl. She feeds a specific fish peanut butter sandwiches because she believes that it controls the weather, enjoys taking and collecting photographs of tourists and makes voodoo dolls of her so-called "friends" out of spoons to get revenge on them for bullying her ("My friends need to be punished"). And of course, she is far more interested in adopting a blue alien posing as a dog than a regular one.
** It's then shown that the reason for her strange behaviour is because [[spoiler: her parents died in a car crash when she was young, therefore her quirks are coping mechanisms.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': The real cloudcuckoolander of the Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es is probably Ariel. She's a mild example by the standards of the trope, but compared to the other princesses she is [[CollectorOfTheStrange positively]] [[ManicPixieDreamGirl wacky]].
** A bigger example would be Scuttle, who tries to identify human artifacts for Ariel. Too bad his identifications are made up entirely of nonsense.
* All of the lemurs in ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' seem crazy to some degree, but King Julien XIII is definitely the weirdest. He uses a skeletal hand as a scepter. In the 2nd movie he goes through four different crowns. He clearly comprehends all that goes on around him (which may be why he's King)...
-->'''[[GullibleLemmings Melman]]:''' Hey! The bozos have the people!\\
'''Julien:''' They're up there. ''[points to some human skeletons hanging from parachutes snagged on the branches of a large tree]'' Don't you love the people? Not a very lively bunch though.\\
'''Alex:''' Oh. So, do you have any... LIVE people?\\
'''Julien:''' Uh, no. Only dead ones.
** He also has a worrying tendency towards conversations with himself...
-->'''Julien:''' Shush! We are hiding! Be quiet everyone, including me. Shhh! Who's making that noise?! Oh, it's me again.
** At one point in ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'' he argues with himself to explain the concept of sacrifice to the other animals...
-->'''Julien:''' The friendly Gods eat up the sacrifice...\\
'''(as god)''' Mmm very nice, thank you for that sacrifice...\\
'''(as Julien)''' Please have another sacrifice!\\
'''(as god)''' No No I've had enough for today...\\

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'': Art, who is full of expressiveness, gives Mike and Sulley notebooks with unicorns and glitter, and is distracted by butterflies during hide-and-seek.
* Hammy from ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge''. For instance, his first idea when the characters wonder what the eponymous hedge is called is to call it [[ActorAllusion Steve]], on account of "it's a pretty name."
* In ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', all the Princesses come across as this. Being used to only having each other for company, they consider having magic powers, having been cursed or kidnapped at least once in your life, or having a MissingMom to be perfectly ordinary qualifications for being a princess, and they also treat Vanellope's casual clothing as [[MundaneObjectAmazement something new and amazing]].
* [[BombThrowingAnarchists Spider-Punk]] from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' acts like a [[BritishRockstar British]] [[Characters/DeadpoolWadeWilson Deadpool]], [[spoiler:which makes him all the better at ObfuscatingStupidity]]. He tends to be a MotorMouth who goes on off-topic rants about many different tangents, while also [[{{cuckoosnarker}} playing up]] his CommanderContrarian side to its illogical extreme. This combined with his British slang makes him hard to understand or be taken seriously.

* Belle from the Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is believed to be this, since she's bored of living in a small town and finds escape in the books she reads. The townspeople find her strange because of this. In fact, one line in her intro song (sung by the barber) goes: "Her head's up on some cloud." We end up finding out that's she's really a strong young lady who doesn't hesitate to stand up to the Beast.
* Agnes from ''Franchise/DespicableMe'', but in an adorable way. Justified, considering that she's five years old in the first movie and turns six in the second movie.
-->'''Agnes:''' I like him. He's nice.\\
'''Edith:''' But scary.\\
'''Agnes:''' (''smiles'') Like Santa.
* Kronk from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' frequently misunderstands his evil boss Yzma and has frequent conversations with his [[GoodAngelBadAngel shoulder angel and devil]].
-->'''Yzma:''' (after she thinks Kronk has poisoned Kuzco) Good work, Kronk.\\

Added DiffLines:
[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** ''Justice for All'' has Regina Berry, who demonstrates that a Cloudcuckoolander can be the cause of tragic circumstances in a (mostly) realistic setting. Due to being raised in a circus, she has a fairly substantial disconnection from reality. [[spoiler:She doesn't understand, for example, how her putting pepper on Bat's scarf led to him being bitten by a lion... or that he may never recover from the resulting coma. Bat's brother, Acro, was so infuriated by her lack of remorse that he tried to kill her]].
** The whole series is chock full of less tragic 'landers, including Maya Fey's laughably bad grasp of technology, Ema Skye's utterly bizarre "scientific theories", and Trucy Wright (who had a rather... ''interesting exchange'' about how 'Revolver' and 'Wonder Bar' sound the same).
** The Judge, whose grasp on reality is just firm enough to give the right verdict every time -- but no firmer.
** True to her role as a lawyer-sidekick-girl in this series, Kay Faraday is often putting Edgeworth's nerves to the test. Interestingly, she's also the only side-kick girl among the four (Maya, Trucy, Ema, Kay) who's actually ''incompetent'' at her "occupation of choice", information-theft, probably in order to make up for Edgeworth's hyper-competence.
** Ini Miney in case 2-2 slept through a murder, and testifies that when her dead sister walked into the room, she had a rather dull surprise to her being there. [[spoiler: She's actually ObfuscatingStupidity]].
** It's safe to say almost anyone who is not the player character will have some degree of the trope.
* K from ''VisualNovel/ANightmaresTrip'' is ''really out there''. Not only does she wear coats under an extremely hot summer weather and doesn't even realize why it's a problem, she's also quite the [[StickyFingers kleptomaniac]]. Not because she needs something and doesn't have the money, or because she can't help herself, but because she thinks being pursued by police is ''fun''.
* Moe in ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'' has issues. Apart from sleepwalking to school while playing the xylophone (yes), being obsessed with hot pot and being very disconnected in general from life around her, she is apparently convinced kisses are supposed to taste like lemons, so she eats a lemon drop right before kissing Junichi in her route.
* Moe Mortelli from ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'' is a positive guy, a good cop, and a loyal friend to the protagonist, but he lets slip details a little too easily, doesn’t understand why racist humor and raunchy jokes are so offensive to some people, and has a very loose definition of the word “secret.” And he takes the theft of a toaster a little too seriously.
* Clear from ''VisualNovel/DRAMAticalMurder''. [[spoiler: And given [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots his origin,]] it's reasonably justified.]]
* In ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'' Sachi at one point plans an escape attempt that involves blasting through a wall with explosives, sailing a boat through the gap in the wall and then exploding the roof under the prison cell so that their target falls into the boat and then just sailing back out with no fuss. When pointed out that any shockwave big enough to destroy the floor of the cell like that would also kill Yuuji, she amends the plan so that his entire room will be ''flooded'' first.
* In ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', we get Oko San, a bird absolutely obsessed with finding the "perfect pudding", and Anghel Higure, a bird who believes himself to be a fallen angel and the heroine to be his reincarnated lover Edel Blau. [[spoiler:Anghel's madness is actually justified later on when it's discovered that he secretes hallucinogenic pheromones. And in Holiday Star, where he [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane may be]] a RealityWarper]].
* Yukari in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo'' worries about koi drowning, has a great love for bugs and uses them nonchalantly in cooking.
* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'':
** Rin rivals Osaka for sheer out-of-touch-with-reality-or-possibly-just-on-a-different-plane-of-it-ness. "The problem must be in your pants!" Unlike Osaka though, Rin is fully aware of the fact her mindset is seen as out-of-touch, she just doesn't let it stop her. The ending scene for her Act 1 route is even titled "Clouds In My Head."
--->'''Rin:''' ...So that's why I'm trying to figure out if there is something I need to figure out and then figure that out before it's too late and all hope is lost.
** [[spoiler: [[DeconstructedTrope Utterly demolished in her route]]. Later scenes show that her eccentricity isn't always funny or cute, and Rin herself proves to be frustrated and discouraged with how people can't understand her thoughts, whether through words or through her art. Hisao often struggles to keep up with her train of thoughts, and sometimes gets extremely angry at her]].
** Kenji, Hisao's ConspiracyTheorist dorm neighbor, though his paranoid ramblings about the world in general and the so-called feminist conspiracy in specific are less "harmlessly insane" and more "[[NightmareFuelStationAttendant holy crap, this guy's going to snap and kill somebody one of these days]]."
* ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has [[TheHero Junpei]], arguably. Some of his thoughts and responses can be REALLY out there ("Apologize to funyarinpa!"). June sometimes has some weird moments, too. [[spoiler:You could say she has the excuse of being a walking supernatural phenomena]]. Actually, when you consider that they can still find the time to make lame puns in the midst of a dire situation under a strict time limit, the ''entire main cast'' probably counts.
* Riko in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' ''hates'' being serious. She gives pretty good advice, but she's also prone to telling her step son to be careful not to impregnate his stepsister out of nowhere though she supports the relationship entirely.
* Kaoru Hazuki from ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG''. Both Akira and Seiji call her crazy for her intense interest in the supernatural, and she's called Akira everything from a lab experiment to an ESPer to an urban legend. Despite her eccentricities, she ''is'' knowledgeable about the occult and proves to be useful in the investigation of spirits.
-->'''Akira:''' What scares me is the thought that she might actually be serious about everything...
* Arcueid from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' has a mild case of this. This only applies to her game character, however, since her anime counterpart lacks this and is therefore far less [[{{Moe}} lovable]]. In the ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' anime, where she's more like her game self, she is the only character ''not'' subject to CharacterExaggeration or {{Flanderization}}. She is quite accustomed to crazy things happening around her.

* Moe Mortelli from ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'' is a positive guy, a good cop, and a loyal friend to the protagonist, but he lets slip details a little too easily, doesn’t understand why racist humor and raunchy jokes are so offensive to some people, and has a very loose definition of the word “secret.” And he takes the theft of a toaster a little too seriously.
* Clear from ''VisualNovel/DRAMAticalMurder''. [[spoiler: And given [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots his origin,]] it's reasonably justified.]]
* In ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'' Sachi at one point plans an escape attempt that involves blasting through a wall with explosives, sailing a boat through the gap in the wall and then exploding the roof under the prison cell so that their target falls into the boat and then just sailing back out with no fuss. When pointed out that any shockwave big enough to destroy the floor of the cell like that would also kill Yuuji, she amends the plan so that his entire room will be ''flooded'' first.
* In ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', we get Oko San, a bird absolutely obsessed with finding the "perfect pudding", and Anghel Higure, a bird who believes himself to be a fallen angel and the heroine to be his reincarnated lover Edel Blau. [[spoiler:Anghel's madness is actually justified later on when it's discovered that he secretes hallucinogenic pheromones. And in Holiday Star, where he [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane may be]] a RealityWarper]].
* Yukari in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo'' worries about koi drowning, has a great love for bugs and uses them nonchalantly in cooking.
* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'':
** Rin rivals Osaka for sheer out-of-touch-with-reality-or-possibly-just-on-a-different-plane-of-it-ness. "The problem must be in your pants!" Unlike Osaka though, Rin is fully aware of the fact her mindset is seen as out-of-touch, she just doesn't let it stop her. The ending scene for her Act 1 route is even titled "Clouds In My Head."
--->'''Rin:''' ...So that's why I'm trying to figure out if there is something I need to figure out and then figure that out before it's too late and all hope is lost.
** [[spoiler: [[DeconstructedTrope Utterly demolished in her route]]. Later scenes show that her eccentricity isn't always funny or cute, and Rin herself proves to be frustrated and discouraged with how people can't understand her thoughts, whether through words or through her art. Hisao often struggles to keep up with her train of thoughts, and sometimes gets extremely angry at her]].
** Kenji, Hisao's ConspiracyTheorist dorm neighbor, though his paranoid ramblings about the world in general and the so-called feminist conspiracy in specific are less "harmlessly insane" and more "[[NightmareFuelStationAttendant holy crap, this guy's going to snap and kill somebody one of these days]]."
* ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has [[TheHero Junpei]], arguably. Some of his thoughts and responses can be REALLY out there ("Apologize to funyarinpa!"). June sometimes has some weird moments, too. [[spoiler:You could say she has the excuse of being a walking supernatural phenomena]]. Actually, when you consider that they can still find the time to make lame puns in the midst of a dire situation under a strict time limit, the ''entire main cast'' probably counts.
* Riko in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' ''hates'' being serious. She gives pretty good advice, but she's also prone to telling her step son to be careful not to impregnate his stepsister out of nowhere though she supports the relationship entirely.
* Kaoru Hazuki from ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG''. Both Akira and Seiji call her crazy for her intense interest in the supernatural, and she's called Akira everything from a lab experiment to an ESPer to an urban legend. Despite her eccentricities, she ''is'' knowledgeable about the occult and proves to be useful in the investigation of spirits.
-->'''Akira:''' What scares me is the thought that she might actually be serious about everything...
* Arcueid from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' has a mild case of this. This only applies to her game character, however, since her anime counterpart lacks this and is therefore far less [[{{Moe}} lovable]]. In the ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' anime, where she's more like her game self, she is the only character ''not'' subject to CharacterExaggeration or {{Flanderization}}. She is quite accustomed to crazy things happening around her.

%%* Perhaps the ultimate funny-pages example of this type is the title character from Kevin [=McCormick's=] ''[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/otherpeople2/arnold.html Arnold]]''.
* Raoul the werewolf in ''ComicBook/TheBojeffriesSaga'' is somewhat out of touch with reality, for example giving a black workmate white supremacist propaganda because he thought it was too silly to be taken seriously, and failing to notice that all his relatives moved out of their house for years.
* Calvin from ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' [[MrImagination possesses such a runaway imagination]] -- he truly lives in {{Cloudcuckooland}}. The very fact that he sees Hobbes as real and everyone else doesn't (which often makes them suspect that Calvin is insane) also establishes him a place in this trope. The very fact that ''Hobbes'' thinks Calvin is crazy would fit him into this trope if that didn't. There's also the time where he comes into his class dressed as his superhero alter-ego, Stupendous Man. His classmates' facial expressions are the natural reaction anyone would have toward a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
-->'''Ms. Wormwood:''' Calvin, pay attention!! Now, what state do you live in?\\
'''Calvin:''' Denial.\\
'''Ms. Wormwood:''' ''[sighing]'' Well, I suppose I can't argue with that...\\\
'''Calvin:''' ''[during the pledge of allegiance on the first day of school]'' I pledge allegiance to Queen Fragg and her mighty state of Hysteria.\\\
'''Calvin:''' You know why birds don't write their memoirs? Because birds don't lead epic lives, that's why! Who'd want to read what a bird does? Nobody, that's who!

What are you supposed to do, just let it slide??]]
* Most of the kids in ''ComicStrip/{{CulDeSac}}'': Alice, Petey, Ernesto, Dill, all in their own unique way too.
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Curtis}}'', Gunk exhibits various odd behaviors and abilities (explained by the fact that he's from some place called "Flyspeck Island"), as [[RuleOfFunny required by the plot]].
* The entire ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' comic, since Max Allan Collins left. Bad guys getting squashed by steamrollers or having their eyes gouged out; businessmen (both good and bad) who dress like playing cards; characters being incinerated in giant fireballs; hillbillies defending themselves with bear traps; and every once in a while, something that seems to make sense. Rarely.
%%* Kenny from ''ComicStrip/DogsOfCKennel'', so very much.
* Jon Arbuckle from ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'', since the late nineties, has gone from a slightly-dim, arrogant loser to a full-fledged {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in some strips, with lines of pure insanity like "I think my feet are jealous of my hands because they get to point at things." This without even getting into the surrealistic brilliance of ''[[http://garfieldminusgarfield.net Garfield Minus Garfield]]'' and other projects to improve the strip.
** Garfield himself had his moments in the strips (before he got {{Flanderized}} into a full-time DeadpanSnarker). Remember when he became Banana Man? Or Amoeba Man?
** The animated special ''Garfield's Feline Fantasies'' was all about his mind wandering off into fantastic stories.
* ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'': Gaston, who is a clumsy dreamer who is always seen either dozing off or inventing stuff without any regard for the people in his vicinity. Seriously, who would set the entire floor of his apartment underwater just to make his goldfish feel more at home?
* ''ComicStrip/GetFuzzy'': Both Bucky and Satchel occasionally display these tendencies, and many of Bucky's feline visitors ''really'' do.
* A few characters from the ''ComicStrip/InkPen'' comic strip is this, the main example being ''Captain Victorious''. ''[[http://www.gocomics.com/inkpen/2011/02/14/ Here]]'', for instance. Or ''[[http://www.gocomics.com/inkpen/2010/11/10/ here]]''.
* ''ComicStrip/InSecurity'' has Sedine, a GenkiGirl who sees stuff in a not exactly normal light, much to the exasperation of her husband Sam.
* ''ComicBook/{{Jommeke}}'': Professor Gobelijn, an AbsentMindedProfessor, who is often doing stuff that either brings him or his town in danger, but he always realizes this when its already too late.
* ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat''. S/he thinks that getting bricks thrown at her/his head is a sign of affection.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': Abraham Tuizentfloot, an insane dwarf who dresses himself up as a 17th century pirate and attacks everybody with his sabre. Despite that he can't even swim! The comic strip in itself is also full of eccentric and insane characters.
* Sally from ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' has her moments:
-->'''Sally''': Wake up, SantaClaus came last night and he didn't leave you anything! ''* Pause* '' April fool!
** Her friend Eudora even more so:
-->'''Eudora''': This is my literature report. The book I chose to read was the TV guide.
** Lucy in the earlier strips. Notably the TropeNamer for LittleKnownFacts--she thought, for instance, that birds flew to the moon.
** Snoopy.
--> '''Charlie Brown:''' [[CatchPhrase Why can't I have a normal dog like everybody else?]]
** Peppermint Patty. To name but one example of her weirdness, she thought that Snoopy was an odd-looking little kid for ''years''.
* Ming in ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'', who especially in her high school and college days tended to do some kooky stuff (like, say, do an interpretive dance at her graduation). Fittingly, she majored in film studies. Ironically, she's not even the ''weirdest'' member of the cast, considering there's animals turned humans, a mermaid, and two time travelers among them.
* Hillary's classmate Nona from ''[[ComicStrip/SallyForthHoward Sally Forth]]''. Tends to take Hillary and Faye's idle {{Zany Scheme}}ing and run with the idea into surrealism. All in the same tone of voice one would normally use when discussing lunch.
* ''ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske'': Lambik is often seen doing stupid and crazy things he didn't actually thought through. In ''De Stalen Bloempot'', for instance, he tries climbing out of a castle by rope. His rope then breaks and he plummits down. Lambik tries to solve this problem philosophically by letting the rope go, thinking this will make him stop falling. This, of course, doesn't work.
** A real cloud cuckoolander is Vader Van Zwollem, a man who is literally insane, and protected and taking care of by his daughter Anne-Marie Van Zwollem.
* ''ComicBook/TomPoes'': Wammes Waggel, a naïve goose who is so optimistic and carefree that he never realizes any real danger and thinks everything is a joke.
* ''ComicBook/TransformersWingsOfHonor'': Vortex and Metalhawk get this way when sprayed with chemicals which mess with their processors. Sprocket is revealed to be this way after some feedback when he integrated into a ship. Now he believes that non-sentient machines talk to him, and speaks to imaginary friends. [[spoiler: It's gotten to the point where in the final issue, he doesn't even know his brother died, and continues to talk to him as if he was still there]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Urbanus}}'': Everybody in this comic strip is pretty daft, especially Urbanus and César. They often engage in zany schemes that others just go along with.
* Meanwhile, ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' had Bo Sheep, who showed more tendencies of this in the comics than the ''Garfield and Friends'' animated series.
* Pierce from ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' seems to be always doing his own thing, on impulse, with little regard for consequences.
* Essentially all the kids from ''ComicStrip/OneBigHappy'' qualify. Central character Ruthie is pretty obvious, but she has even weirder friends, like vacuum cleaner fetishist Earl.
