** A mock commercial, ostensibly promoting the early aughts SlasherMovie ''{{Film/Valentine}}'', took aim at how soundtrack albums of this type usually featured a few well-known heavy metal / industrial metal bands surrounded by songs by complete unknowns with strange names - thus, it's mainly a list that starts out with a few actual groups before descending into [[{{Word Salad Title}} word salad band names]] like Motionless Z [[note]]probably a play on Music/StaticX[[/note]], Exquisite Mammals, Grab The Jester, and Half of 5445 North Park Drive Community Vigilance & Restoration Committee.

* Even though it was made by western developer Creator/{{Rare}} and not an example of BlindIdiotTranslation, the Platform/{{NES}} tarot-reading simulator ''VideoGame/TabooTheSixthSense'' is a gold mine of hilariously mangled English, because the template for your readings makes no effort to have the subject and predicate flow naturally, or even incorporate basic grammar and sentence structure. Despite not being a "game" in the classic sense, players are more likely to have fun trying to figure out what the hell their fortunes are even trying to ''say'' than they are to use it for actual fortune telling (e.g. "Your inner emotions sense or will shortly sense the experience brief or pleasure and sadness or mourning.").

* Blog/HorseEbooks, [[https://twitter.com/Horse_ebooks at first glance]], is a {{Website/Twitter}} bot that tweeted random, broken sentences from ebooks. Initially, its tweets were about horses, with its creator running a number of similar bots that focused on other subjects (in a rather pathetic attempt at advertising a shady ebook website), but Horse_ebooks ended up being the only one still standing, as it seemed to have a talent for creating entertaining nonsense that inspired people [[http://horseebooks.tumblr.com/ to write]] {{fanfiction}}, [[http://horseecomics.tumblr.com/ draw comics]] and [[http://horseeposters.com/#34230786360 make posters.]] During its run, it was followed by over a hundred and fifty thousand people. It was eventually revealed to be part of a ViralMarketing campaign (along with ''ARG/PronunciationBook'') for the FMV adventure game ''Bear Stearns Bravo''.

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Naddy claims to be a natural-born American and sprinkles her sentences with copious GratuitousEnglish to 'prove' it, but her actual grasp on English is... tenuous at best, making for this trope. The English translation instead chooses to give her a ridiculously overblown and stereotypical American accent, but after chapter 118 the scanlation group gives an example of what it would look like if they translated her directly:

* Twisp and Catsby from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' are a high class cat and demon([[NonindicativeName respectively]]) who live in an absurd world, and Twisp manages to exhibit {{Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness}} while only saying one word at a time. They were originally created as a parody of nonsensical things, but again, the fanbase became instantly attached to them.

* "Drinking Out Of Cups" by Dan Deacon, a spoken word piece that later became better known when Liam Lynch (''Series/TheSiflAndOllyShow'') made a short animation to go with it. Passages like "Who's this guy? Mr. Balloons? Mr. Balloon hands?" and "I'm in love with the seahorses. They're fuckin' unreal. I love them, they're like all the clocks..." were the result of him acting like a macho Long Islander stereotype and spontaneously responding to things he saw while watching a TV on mute (although some people [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs have other ideas about its origins]]).

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUNECHCKWBc This white cockatoo goes into a protracted rant]] consisting mostly of coherent nonsense and non-sequiturs that appear to have been constructed out of a combination of words and full sentences it had learned. Notably, despite how random the sentences seem to be, the bird makes it somehow combine together into a complete narrative!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI4QtceZ24g&t=15s This infamous rant]] from a Mexican lady is a notable Spanish example. No one is sure of exactly what she was on, but the result is a nonsensical string of words that has been memed to no end. Even if you don't speak the language, the utterly confused look of the poor person translating the speech into sign language at the bottom tells you everything you need to know.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2337 Dr. Spanko.]] It's a talking corn crake that speaks entirely in word salad. As an added bonus, all of this word salad is spoken at 90+ decibels! The site describes it as speaking "a language tangentially related to English". As an example, it refers to gummy worms (its favorite food) as "stranglefruits". In addition, it randomly places in the word "cack'.
