History Main / SpeechImpediment

* On ''ThePajanimals'', Squacky (a duck) sometimes speaks with a lisp.

* The priest in ''Film/ThePrincessBride'': "Mawwidge! Mawwidge is what bwings us togevah today!" In the book, it's compounded by him being somewhat senile and deaf as a post.

* Count Duckula speaks with the mixed impediments of Porky Pig ''and'' Daffy Duck in his ''DangerMouse appearances.

* ErastFandorin, after the f-first book. [[LetsGetDangerous Except when he gets dangerous]].

* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony:''
** In G3, nearly everyone had a CatchPhrase, and some of the {{Catch Phrase}}s could border on Tourette's-level with how frequently they were used. Most noticeably, Thistle Whistle couldn't talk without randomly stopping to make whistling noises. She was the most temperamental of the pegasus team, but it ''really'' costs you badass points to interrupt a snide comment with whistling.
** The current series has Twist's lisp (exaggerated in fandom to the point that she's nearly TheUnintelligible, but still pretty bad.) Fleetfoot, the Wonderbolt, also has one. Not nearly as bad, but noticeable, and you can even hear her trying ''not'' to do it by overemphasizing S sounds to get them right. For example, "Soarin,' pick up the pace!" becomes "'''SSS'''oarin,' pick up the pathe!"

* Neliel Tu Odelschwanck of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has a rather pronounced lisp in the Japanese anime and manga, causing cute mispronunciations of some words and the main character's name (Isygo). Crosses a little bit into FangThpeak as the source of Nel's lisp seems to be her [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs48/f/2009/204/7/5/Neliel_Tu_Oderschvank_by_Darrajunior.png broken]] [[http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nelsaliva.PNG teeth]].

* In FanFic/Gensokyo20XX, we have Chen's Elmuh Fudd Syndwome, though by chapter 62 in Gensokyo 20XXV, she seems to have overcome this, however, Amoridere did state that, while Chen can say "L"s and "R"s correctly, she still has speech impediments in that she has a lisp and that her speech is a tad slurred but neither of which are that noticeable.

** Actually a bit of FridgeBrilliance and/or ViewersAreGeniuses. Upper class Brits in the Victorian era (when the movie takes place, and Gussie is obviously of English origin) developed that odd VerbalTic on purpose.

* [[CillianMurphy John Skillpa]] but not Emma in ''{{Peacock}}''.

* In ''The25thAnnualPutnamCountySpellingBee'', one of the contestants speaks with a strong lisp.

* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Tara stutters when she's nervous in her earliest appearances in the fourth season, notably when we first meet her in "Hush", and when Faith-in-Buffy grills her in "Who Are You?". She later gains enough self-confidence to overcome the stutter, and even face down other characters. (Note that Willow noticeably stuttered in the first season as well, and occasionally tripped over syllables well into the series, though any impediment was almost gone by the last season.)

* [[Videogame/DawnOfWar Indrick Boreale's]] [[Narm Narmtastic]] speech impediment has made him the [[MemeticMutation biggest meme]] in the Warhammer 40k fanbase.

* {{ECW}}'s B-B-Bubba Ray D-D-Dudley, who also did this in the early days of his Wrestling/{{WWE}} career. D'Von would slap him in the back of the head to allow him to speak normally.

* The Third Doctor in ''DoctorWho'' had a mild lisp, because his actor (JonPertwee) had one.
