* Some of POV chapters in the Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX series can be more or less written like this, depending on who is narrating and how much they have to say. In 20XXV, this is noted, when Reimu narrates chapter 87. She isn't very descriptive and neither are the sentences very long, although it is to show how detached from world that she is, as such a worldview doesn't give her much an understanding, along with the fact that she doesn't talk much. However, Reimu will only narrate like that if a chapter demands.
* ''Every single story'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2097849/ShakespeareHemmingway ShakespeareHemmingway]] is BeigeProse to the max - but the ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' fanfictions, such as ''FanFic/GarfieldRoyalRescue'', take it UpToEleven and have to be [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5824573/1/Garfield-Effect-Galaxy-Adventure seen]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9690929/1/Zero-Dark-Garfield to]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11013421/1/The-Garfield-Bowl be]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6928423/1/The-King-s-Garfield believed.]]

** Also, all spells, when cast, are simply the spell name shouted out.

* Cash's sections in ''As I Lay Dying'' by Creator/WilliamFaulkner. First section is a list of what to do to properly construct Addie's casket. Next two sections, the third being 1½ sentences long, are about the casket's imbalance.

* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''. Rorschach speaks in short sentences and fragments. [[PurpleProse Journal doesn't]]. Must remember to investigate further.
** His psychiatrist starts out the other way, ends this way.
* ''ComicBook/SinCity'':
--> "Old Man Dies. Young girl lives. Fair trade."

* ACG's ''Herbie'' spoke like this. (ex. "Don't need doctor. Very healthy" (Herbie #10, Jun. 1965) )

----

* ''Literature/TheBookOfLies'' novel trilogy (''The Notebook'', ''The Proof'', and ''The Third Lie''). More commonly known by the title of its first novel, ''The Notebook'', not to be confused with [[Film/TheNotebook any other novel]] of the same name.

* A German-Jewish joke (as quoted by [{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salcia_Landmann Salcia Landmann]] in her book on Jewish humor) is about a Jewish landlord who will only let his tenant cancel the rental contract if the latter can express his desire in a single word. The following correspondence ensues:

-->Landlord: "Officium"

* An odd combination of this trope and WallOfText; while ''Literature/AMillionRandomDigitsWithOneHundredThousandNormalDeviates'' has a lot of text, none of the text uses any superfluous adjectives, adverbs, verbs, nouns, pronouns, or letters. In fact, it has none of those things, it just cuts straight to the digits!

* The Spartans, whose simplicity of speech gave rise to the word "laconic," after the region they came from, Laconia(contemporaries called them Lacedaemonians). For example, when Philip II of Macedon threatened them with the message: "If we enter Sparta, we will [[RapePillageAndBurn raze all your buildings and ravage all your women]]," Sparta sent back the answer, "If." Philip, as well as his son UsefulNotes/{{Alexander|TheGreat}}, left Sparta alone.

* Many military messages

* Good military orders are short, concise and cannot be misinterpreted. Thus many military men often write in this style even in civilian life. UsefulNotes/UlyssesSGrant is an example.

* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'': OmnicidalManiac Jagganoth speaks in BeigeProse. It serves to underscore his ominousness.

* ''FanFic/TheDarkerKnight''
* ''FanFic/CalvinAtCamp''

* The Spartans, whose simplicity of speech gave rise to the word "laconic," after their dialect of Greek. For example, when Philip II of Macedon threatened them with the message: "If we enter Sparta, we will [[RapePillageAndBurn raze all your buildings and ravage all your women]]," Sparta sent back the answer, "If." Philip, as well as his son UsefulNotes/{{Alexander|TheGreat}}, left Sparta alone.

* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'': OmnicidalManiac Jagganoth speaks in BeigeProse, implied to be caused by his PTSD and general discomfort with peace.

* The summon spirit Shadow of the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' talks like this, with sentences rarely going over 3 words. The party in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' have fun imitating his speech style during a skit, while [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Sheena]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.

Beige prose includes [[SelfDemonstratingArticle brief descriptions,]] simple structure, plain words, few figures of speech.
