* Flamingo is one of these, as he's basically the american VideoGame/{{Roblox}} Youtuber equivalent of WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}}.

* ''ComicBook/TheNewGuardians'' has Snowflame, a blathering lunatic whose words tend to blur together thanks to his addiction to cocaine. And this isn't any mere street-level addiction either, this is "inhales [[ItsSnowingCocaine a mound of cocaine the size of a pillow]] and [[AddictionPowered proceeds to emit psychic fire]]" levels of addiction. He is actually remarkably coherent when he's ''not'' high off his tits, but the more he partakes, the more he talks and the weirder said talk gets, probably due to the real-life side effects of cocaine (including hyperactivity, uncontrolled chattiness, and erratic behavior).

** Foul Ole Ron's {{catchphrase}} "Millennium hand and shrimp" (the result of feeding a travesty generator with a Chinese restaurant menu and Music/TheyMightBeGiants lyrics) became something the books are famous for. Due to his [[TalkingAnimal talking dog]] that [[WeirdnessCensor no one believes isn't him talking]], he has occasional [[InfallibleBabble lucid comments]] in the gibberish.

*** Its {{catchphrase}} "+++ Redo From Start +++" ''looks'' like another example of this, but is actually a ShoutOut to a very obscure and badly-worded error message that was occasionally returned by 1980s home computers. (That would be Microsoft Basic, when you feed it invalid input.)

** Taco in ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity'' is initially introduced as such, screaming "SOUR CREAM!" as her {{Catchphrase}} and other incoherent sayings on a regular basis. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that she was ObfuscatingInsanity to win audience sympathy]].

* Dan Rather had a run-in with an assailant who kept asking him [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rather#.22Kenneth.2C_what_is_the_frequency.3F.22 "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"]] Music/{{REM}} later named the similarly rambling opening track of ''Music/{{Monster|REMAlbum}}'' after the incident.
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptive_aphasia Receptive Aphasia]] is a mental disorder characterized by an inability to understand language, including one's own speech or writing, while the ability to produce language is left intact, resulting in speech that is frequently nonsensical. Individuals who suffer this condition are unable to recognize any form of language-based communication and frequently produce Word Salad which they can neither control, recognize, nor stop.
* [[Quotes/PurpleProse An example on this very wiki.]]
* The Wrestling/UltimateWarrior. What makes it really scary is, it's hard to tell how much is {{Kayfabe}} and how much is serious. The reason [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] parody version is so damn funny is because it's pretty accurate (with the possibly exception of the random pop culture references - "You'll need an [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Energon cube]] the size of Wyoming to defeat ''my'' Autobots, [[VerbalTic Hoakogan]]!").
* In the field of mental health, this is known as schizophasia, sometimes called "word salad". It is usually symptomatic of other serious mental conditions, including schizophrenia. Schizophasia also falls within the broader term of formal thought disorder, or FTD.
* Macaws usually become this if they learn how to speak.
* Music/IggyPop during the longer songs by Music/TheStooges.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrIPLAo0_iQ This]] video, featuring the voice of Dan Deacon watching TV with the sound off and complaining about what he's watching in a thick Long Island accent. It led to a lot of rumours that he was on acid when it was recorded.
-->"Stupid dresses. Stupid flowers. [[BreathlessNonSequitur Lighthouses rule.]]"
* Creator/DougWalker has admitted to having this problem, as in one vlog he tells a friend that trying to figure out his rambling would only cause pain, and in other he's relieved that the letters swirling around in his head are actually forming words.
* UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip is one of these as well.
* [[https://youtu.be/jqKEQkN9ME8 This three-year-old boy]]'s knock-knock jokes are nonsensical even for ones coming from a toddler, going beyond even that of SurrealHumor and into an entirely different territory of their own.
* UsefulNotes/CharlesManson was notorious for uttering wild, inane, and incomprehensible gibberish and dissolving into manic fits during his parole hearings, which ultimately cost him every chance to convince the parole board to ever let him walk out of prison for the rest of his life.

* ''Everyone'' in ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo''... except when they aren't.[[note]]Well, with the exception of [[OnlySaneMan Beauty]], and occasionally Heppokomaru / Gasser.[[/note]] [[WidgetSeries It's just that kind of a show]].[[note]]Regardless if it's in Japanese, English, Spanish, or any other language.[[/note]]

** However, when Spike was crazy, a lot of his babbling was actually just him talking to the First, who nobody else could see or hear but him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', the Joker inadvertently creates the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse version of the Creeper, a superhero who's yellow, super-strong, agile, and crazy enough to scare even the Joker.
