History Main / SdrawkcabSpeech

* In ''WebAnimation/PokemonBattleRoyaleUltraBeasts'', just like in the anime, Kartana speaks lines backwards, though unlike in the Pokémon anime, it's not just one sentence, but rather various bits and pieces of the dialogue of [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Jetstream Sam]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 2"]] Chief Wiggum has a DreamSequence where Lisa appears, talking in reversed backward speech in an homage to ''Twin Peaks''. When Wiggum repeatedly fails to understand her hints, she eventually gets angry and tells him what she means normally.

-->--Lines recorded in ''reverse-speak'' in a circa-1995 commercial for the Yak Bakwards

* ''Manga/''Bleach'': After the TimeSkip, Shinji learned how to use Sakanade to invert the sounds heard by his target [[InterfaceScrew on top of their sense of direction.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForceColonMovieFilmForTheaters'', the Aqua Teens speak entirely backwards after escaping from the sphinx, until they decide to switch back to English after realizing how dumb they're sounding.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' episode of ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', when the Nerd screams that he wants to play ''Doom'', all of a sudden the Devil (in the form of ''Doom II''[='=]s Icon of Sin) starts talking in reverse, leaving the Nerd clueless. After a few tape-player backmask translations, he asks if the Icon of Sin has to keep talking backwards all the time, leading to the latter dropping the backmasking charade and starting talking in normal speech from here on in.

** There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlIcJbbm08 an instance]] where James of Team Rocket talks backwards when being swallowed by his Victreebel.

* Per the page quote, a few lines of this in a commercial for the Yak Bakwards, played back with the reverse function (and subtitled). But these are followed up with:

--> '''Go to Greenland, man it's oh so near'''

* One ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' story printed in ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' saw Launchpad get shocked by Megavolt, resulting in everything he said coming out backwards. This confused Darkwing until he eventually caught on.

* When Obi-Wan first meets Jango Fett in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Jango says to his clone son, Boba, "Rood eht so-heeck," instructing Boba to close a door and hide his Mandalorian armor. Some sources identify this as a "coded language", but the first two words spoken are "the door" backwards. The rest is gibberish.

* ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'' has a mirror you can enter in, leading to a MirrorWorld version of the lab where Jesse speaks backwards. Her internal monologue remains unaffected, however. An audio log also sits outside the Mirror, with the interviewer failing to get any answers to her questions out of the ranger that just left the Mirror because his speech is reversed. [[spoiler: When you find the same audio log inside the Mirror, the interviewer's speech is reversed and the ranger's speech is forward]].

* In the level "Gravemind" of ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'', there's a reverse-speech that plays throughout the bgm/background that can only be understood when reversing both at a careful level, both the voice and message itself is '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNPFD8lt6zc truly haunting]]'''...
** The Elites' dialogue in ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'' was created by reversing and pitch-shifting some of Sgt. Johnson's dialogue.
* An EasterEgg in ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'', where a message of Achenar speaking in Tree-Dweller language has a portion that's actually normal speech played backwards. When reversed, he says, "Radio/RushLimbaugh understands..."

* Katrina in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' does this when telling your fortune. “LLA SWONK LATSRYC EHT” (The Crystal knows all”) and “RETSASID DETREVA” (“Disaster averted”)

* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', so called "Ancient Egyptian speech" is just the dialogue played backwards.

** The show also pokes fun at its own usage of the trope at one point, where the [[spoiler:chant to summon Bill]] is “backwards message” backwards, making it a very literal case of SdrawkcabSpeech.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' opens by showing Morty looking into the eyes of the Truth Tortoise which says the backwards message, [[spoiler: "I'm a Beatle, Paul is dead."]]

* Played for laughs in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Calculon 2.0" where the crew of the Planet Express try to bring Calculon back to life through a scientific ritual. Said ritual involved pentagrams, RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver robes, and Amy playing an installation disc backwards which just so happens to say "Rise from the dead in the name of Satan"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrothersSuperShow'': The closing of "Time Out Luigi[=/=]Too Hot to Handle" (in the former, a reverse-running watch causes Luigi to do everything in reverse, from speak to ''eat'') is run in reverse, wherein the two can be heard to say "Till next time everybody...Mario the do!"

* A few lines of this in a circa-1996 commercial for the Yak Bakwards, played back with the reverse function (and subtitled).
-->"Things will be different, now that I have the new Yak Bakwards!"
-->"I consider you all fools!"
-->"Do you have anything to say?"

* In the ''Manga/DNAngel'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3588642/1/ Of Darkness and Light]]'', [[MadOracle the oracle Lunara]] speaks backwards whenever she gives her predictions. It took her [[MistressAndServantBoy servant boy Yami]] a full year to become her official translator.
