* Part of Creator/ChristopherWalken's unique style is that he ignores the punctuation in his scripts and just goes with what he likes.
** Lampshaded to hell and back on an [[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]] appearance, where he sang "Tomato/Tomah-toe" without ever actually altering his pronunciation. After all, it was spelled as-normal on the cue-cards.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' often did this after its more [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness conventionally-punctuated first decade]].

* Unintentionally([[PoesLaw ?]]), ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''.

* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation''.

->[[SelfDemonstratingArticle oh hey what's this trope over here]]

* This trope is part of what makes ''JustForFun/PokemonVietnameseCrystal'' so funny. The game is a BlindIdiotTranslation of ''Pokemon Crystal Version'', and the frequent grammatical errors and misspelled words only make the nonsensical dialogue even more [[MindScrew mind screw-y]] and hilarious.

* Ubiquitous in Website/{{Tumblr}} posts. An EnforcedTrope to a certain extent, as tags form a large part of tumblr dialogue (and have even begun to influence how users talk out of tags), and putting a comma into a tag ends it. Hence, a lack of commas.
** many tumblr users also have a tendency to capitalise like [[SuddenlyShouting thIS TO INDICATE THEY STARTED TALKING NORMALLY THEN STARTED YELLING]]
* Likewise; Twitter requires posts be in 140 characters each, so no punctuation can mean the difference between a post and a thread. Perhaps
** even a tiny follow-up post with only a few words in it.

* [[AC:BOTH GOD AND THE DEVIL IN [[Webcomic/DinosaurComics DINOSAUR COMICS]] ALWAYS SPEAK IN [[NoIndoorVoice BOLD ALL-CAPS]] WITH NO PUNCTUATION]]
* In Literature/DreamHighSchool Corliss rants breathlessly to the protagonist about how she looked up to her in first grade. She does have a comma at the end of her paragraph-long spiel, though.

* ''Feel Afraid'' comics.
* ''Muse'' magazine once printed a fan letter that started out with her complaining that they never print any of her letters. Then she wrote that she loved the mag and requested a couple of article subjects, [[NoPunctuationPeriod all without any punctuation or even]] ''[[NoPunctuationPeriod spaces]]''. The editors gave a reply that had punctuation but no letters.

* This contributes to the [[DeadpanSnarker snarkiness]] of several ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' characters, particularly Kanaya and Dave. Dave gets bonus points for also not capitalizing anything.

* In ''VideoGame/FruitMystery'', the protagonist is completely insane and likes feeding human foods to zoo animals, often with deadly consequences, which is PlayedForLaughs. After feeding a zoo animal, a window pops up for the protagonist to tell you what happened, and his writing is full of grammatical errors, little punctuation, misspelled words, and some words are randomly in all caps.

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' makes use of this at times.
* ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'', at times.
* The Literature/{{Molesworth}} stories lean very hard on this as a source of humor. Note that they are written in the voice of an under-achieving schoolboy, so this is entirely {{justified|Trope}}.
* At ''Blog/MythsRetold'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin myths get retold]] in this style.
* Sans from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' speaks in all lowercase letters, with haphazard use of punctuation.
* ''Literature/EatsShootsAndLeaves'' tells the tale of an unwanted comma:
-->''Back at The New Yorker, [[Creator/JamesThurber Thurber]] tells the story of “the grison anecdote” – a story about a soap salesman who belatedly spots a grison (a South American weasel-like carnivore) on a porch in New Jersey. Now, Thurber says he commanded [his editor] Ross not to change a word of this piece, but he was obviously asking for trouble. “It preserves the fine texture of the most delicate skin and lends a lasting and radiant rosiness to the complexion my God what is that thing?” says the salesman. Ross, of course, inserted a comma after “my God”. He just couldn’t help himself.''

* ''Muse'' magazine once printed a fan letter that started out with her complaining that they never print any of her letters. Then she wrote that she loved the mag and requested a couple of article subjects, [[NoPunctuationPeriod all without any punctuation or even]] ''[[NoPunctuationPeriod spaces]]''. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The editors gave a reply that had punctuation but no letters.]]
