History Cloudcuckoolander / WesternAnimation

** He is a firm believer in phrenology and candling, outdated and dangerous procedures which have both been declared bunk over a hundred years ago.

* Cheryl from ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' recently spent most of "Viscous Coupling" thinking she was in Opposite World.

** Sheen Estevez has an unhealthy obsession with the superhero Ultra-Lord, believing that Ultra-Lord was the father of America among other things. He also holds such beliefs that the chemical name for salt is "Herman Schwartzbaum", and is [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny very easily distracted.]] It gets {{exaggerated}} in ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', where Sheen becomes a high-ranking member of an odd alien planet's royal court.

** Ice King later turns out to be a rather horrifying deconstruction of this trope. His strange behaviour actually stems from [[spoiler:having had his mind warped and his memory erased by an ArtifactOfDoom. The process was slow and extremely painful, destroying his relationships with his fiancee and surrogate daughter, and it's implied that most of his actions are a subconscious attempt to replace them]]. By the time the main series takes place, he's barely a shadow of his old self and is miserable due to his inability to form normal relationships. ''And'', it's implied that without the [[spoiler:mental remnants of his old self restraining him, he would be just a violent madman rather than an [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain ineffectual]] CloudCuckooLander. When this control occasionally slips, he is [[NotSoHarmlessVillain much more]] [[PsychopathicManchild disturbing]]]].

** Phil's daughter Judy Ken Sebben, aka Birdgirl, is another one, albeit [[IncrediblyLamePun of a different feather]]. Her idea of practicing law is [[WrongGenreSavvy comic-book hero style crimefighting]], lampshaded in one episode where she adds her own {{Unsound Effect}}s. And her [[MotorMouth rapid fire speech delivery]]. She's constantly giving internal monologues that are anything ''but'' internal.

* All three of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingAdrenaliniBrothers''.

* Starfire of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' frequently acts this way. It's unclear, however, what part of this is her cultural upbringing as a literal alien from another planet, and what part's her own unique personality. (The mustard-drinking incident seems to lean toward the "unfamiliarity with Earth" explanation, plus is probably a good example of BizarreAlienBiology.) Considering her more savvy sister, it would most likely seem to be a result of her personality, plus it made for [[GagSeries easy laughs]]. On the other hand, on the episode we see her homeworld, they acted more like Starfire than her sister, so the sister may actually be the odd one amongst her people.

* Tilly Green of ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' lives by the beat of her own drum. This is a girl who once entered a goat into a dog show because she claimed it had the soul of a dog!

** Pinkie Pie is the page image for this trope. Whereas all the other ponies walk, [[SillyWalk hopping and skipping in a gait]] called [[InherentlyFunnyWord pronking]] (and [[OffscreenTeleportation teleporting]]) are her primary modes of transportation, and she frequently [[WeirdAside goes off on weird tangents]], [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong breaks out in song]], and DependingOnTheWriter can either [[PaintingTheMedium paint the fourth wall]] or flat-out [[FourthWallObserver break it]]. "[[NoodleIncident ... and then I said]] [[MemeticMutation 'Oatmeal? Are you]] ''[[MemeticMutation craz...]]''' oh."

** President Bush. Apparently he thinks Saddam Hussein is Satan's gay boyfriend and that he is somehow building chemical weapons plants in Heaven. Subverted in that he is completely right about everything.

'''Mr. Garrison:''' Oh. So I can keep it then?

* Allie on the PBS ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' to some degree. When George first meets her, he finds her in a bin with several chickens, which she emerges from, saying that now she knows what it's like to be a chicken and she doesn't recommend it because it's very boring. The narrator even states that George had seen a lot of strange things in his life, but this was new to him.

* Star Butterfly, the title character of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', is "a magical princess from another dimension." She's also flighty, hyperactive, easily-bored, LiteralMinded, has little sense of personal space, and [[FishOutOfWater is slow to pick up on Earth customs]].

** Sheen Estevez has an unhealthy obsession with the superhero Ultra-Lord, believing that Ultra-Lord was the father of America among other things. He also holds such beliefs that the chemical name for salt is "Herman Schwartzbaum", and is very easily distracted. It gets {{exaggerated}} in ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', where Sheen becomes a high-ranking member of an odd alien planet's royal court.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'': With the exception of [[OnlySaneWoman Laney]], this applies to all members of the eponymous band. Corey is a {{keet}} with SuperOCD and AttentionDeficitOohShiny habits who spouts {{Spoof Aesop}}s and creates {{Zany Scheme}}s out of thin air; Kin is a MadScientist and DitzyGenius with CreepyChild tendencies; and Kon is a BigFun GeniusDitz every bit as crazy as his brother.

* Pretty much all of the Bortronians from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo''. They are all perpetually optimistic, they ''love'' making mistakes, eat odd food, talk in a eccentric English, and more. Justified, because they are aliens.

-->'''Daffy:''' WOO, HOO!!! WOO, HOO!!!

** Sheen Estevez has an unhealthy obsession with the superhero Ultra-Lord, believing that Ultra-Lord was the father of America among other things. He also holds such beliefs that the chemical name for salt is "Herman Schwartzbaum", and is very easily distracted. It goes UpToEleven in ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', where Sheen becomes a high-ranking member of an odd alien planet's royal court.

** Sussie takes this trope UpToEleven. Her eccentric behavior is actually [[spoiler:merely how she wants to live her life. To her, the meaning of life is enjoying it in any way possible, and acting bizarre is her way of doing so]]. That explains a lot. It's also heavily implied that it comes from [[spoiler:her being dropped as a baby. Before that she was a WiseBeyondHerYears ChildProdigy]].

** If the pageant in "Hearth's Warming Eve" is to be believed (or at least taken literally), Chancellor Puddinghead of the Earth Ponies was completely off-the-wall, [[UpToEleven possibly even wackier than Pinkie!]] (On the other hand, Pinkie Pie was the one playing Puddinghead in the pageant, so that could be it, too.)

* ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' takes this trope UpToEleven, where he is always making completely insane adventures for children.

* Michelangelo has shades of this in ''all three'' cartoons based off ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'': Sticks the Badger, the wild card of Team Sonic. While this feral female creature's handcrafted a variety of weapons that she uses to help her friends fight the bad guys, she's a bit... out there, often rattling off outlandish conspiracy theories or tending not to trust anyone around her, not even the other members of Team Sonic. On more than a few occasions throughout the series, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight Sticks has been right to act abrasive with the strange inhabitants around her.]] She's well aware of how nutty and kooky she is and freely admits it in "[[Recap/SonicBoomS2E8InTheMidnightHour In the Midnight Hour]]":
--> "That's the trouble with being a paranoid kook. When something really is going on, no one believes you!"
** Living by herself has given her some extremely backwards ideas of how the world works. Chief among them being that everything is a massive conspiracy, and "the government" is out to get her. And then there's this gem from the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E29CurseOfTheCrossEyedMoose Curse of the Cross-Eyed Moose]]":
--> "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Crossin' paths with a cross-eyed moose brings a curse on the moose-crosser and her non-moose-crossed friends.]] DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE?!"
*** In what may or may not count as a CastingGag, Sticks is voiced by Creator/NikaFutterman, who has had a knack for playing high-pitched characters throughout her career such as Luna Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and Chum Chum from ''WesternAnimation/FatboyAndChumChum''.

* Deconstructed with Luz in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. She tends to be very immersed in her own world, but it led to her becoming friendless and getting into trouble often at school. Luz's EstablishingCharacterMoment is playing with an action figure and a ''live snake'' in her principal's office, which she intended to be part of a school book report. The way both the principal and Luz's mother Camila talk about it, this is far from the first time that Luz has done something like this. Camila then thought it would be a good idea to send Luz to Reality Check Summer Camp at the beginning of the story. It gets reconstructed through the series, with her embracing her weirdness and finding her TrueCompanions, but also slowly learning to deal with reality and be less impulsive.

** Sheen Estevez is definitely one of these, albeit the harmless, ADD-type. And he turns it UpToEleven in ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen''.
** Hugh Neutron also seems to be one. His obsession with ducks and pies is just the ''start''.
