* This is Proton Jon's approach whenever he has control in ''LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys'' LP of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''. His episodes typically consist of avoiding progress in favor of [[CompanionCube playing with the old man mannequin in the hub area]], [[GoodBadBugs trying to glitch the game in hilarious ways]] or providing silly AlternateCharacterInterpretation to the story. This reaches a peak in Big the Cat's story, where [[HamAndCheese Jon goes nuts, knowing how disliked these segments are with players]], portraying Big as a PsychopathicManchild. Jon essentially treats his play sessions as if he was streaming, as he had reservations about the series. Proving TropesAreTools, Jon's episodes were the most popular in the LP, and his stint as Big even helped ''[[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redeem the character]]'' in the eyes of the fandom.

Like the other archetypes, the Loonie comes in variations. Ones that know how to be eccentric ''and'' effective are [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny Ears Lawyers]] of a sort, especially when crossed with a {{Munchkin}}. This variety will actually act out all the weird flaws and quirks they took to get those plusses, and take their humor as seriously as their gameplay, potentially crossing into LethalJokeCharacter territory. (One entry from the list providing the quote forbids Mr. Welch's characters from owning a gun which can kill a target in an adjacent county, for example.) The Loonie's favourite CharacterAlignment is ChaoticNeutral (because it's the perfect excuse for doing anything), but to their detractors it will feel more like ChaoticStupid: it all depends on how good a comedian they are. Expect liberal use of RuleOfFunny, RuleOfFun, and RuleOfCool.

** The 3.5 Edition ''Dungeon Master's Guide II'' includes a section on player styles useful for the GameMaster of any game, not just ''D&D''. One of the styles it describes is The Outlier, which is basically this trope. "The ''D&D'' game assumes a high degree of group cohesion[...] Some players, though, get their emotional charge by subverting this dynamic. These players have the outlier trait. They revel in being different and playing by their own rules. In short, they love to play oddballs." The section goes on to explain that they often are more interested in clowning around and [[PluckyComicRelief failing humorously]] than actually contributing to group success.

** ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'': The Malkavian [[VampireVarietyPack vampire Clan]] are all insane in some way. This led them to be stereotyped as the “Loonie {{Splat}},“ never mind that there are ways to play Malkavians other than as "[[FanNickname/TabletopGames Fishmalks]]" with FunnySchizophrenia and fourth-wall-breaking comic relief. Later game editions tried to play the stereotype more seriously with reminders that those characters are delusional fools being manipulated by their psychotic elders or ancestors.

* During the Tiny Tina DLC of ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', which has the cast of the first game playing a game of [[MagicAmpersand "Bunkers and Badasses"]], Mr. Torgue takes on this role, briefly taking over the game and sending the player on insane missions (if you've played the Torgue DLC, you know how generally nuts he can get). After he has you blow up the two blimps around town and chase a douchey bar patron down and punch him so hard he explodes, he sends you on a mission to blow up the ocean. By this point, [[TheRoleplayer Lilith]] has had enough, and convinces Tina to get rid of him, which she does by putting him in the stocks.
