*** Also in 30 Rock, a parody of Barbara Walters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsg8d9Z75Zk gets more and more incomprehensible]] while interviewing Jenna Maroney. Somehow Jenna understands her.

* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' lineal descent from ''The Goon Show'' was never more apparent than in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-LU4Y_ERxs "Stock Market Report"]]:

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect'', one symptom of advanced Indoctrination is increased verbal incoherence.

* The ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' episode "Field Trip" involved the arrival of a dog so cute that resident IceQueen Weiss devolved into baby talk.
-->'''Weiss:''' You mean this mangy, drooling... mutt... is [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome gonna wiv wif us foweva]]?
** Most egregiously:
--->'''Weiss:''' Oh, I'll miss you so much, we're gonna be best friends, I ka be vo q yuaouuuuu. (That last may have been her attempt to say "I can't believe how cute you are.")

* LetsPlay/BitPolar: Very common, especially in his ''Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure'' Let's Play, where it seems [[{{Angrish}} as if he's slowly losing his sanity as he plays]].

* Happens several times in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':

** In ''Literature/AHatFullOfSky'', the wizard Professor Bustle invites the eldritch creature known as the Hiver into his home, confident he can control it and make it work for him. His research notes, [[ApocalypticLog preserved as an awful warning to wizards contemplating following his line of research]], start off as a parody of scientific notation but degenerate into megalomania of the ''I'll show them!'' type (with MultipleExclamationMarks included), followed swiftly by babbling and then gibberish.

* In ''Website/IMockery''[='=]s [[http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/afa1/ Action Figure Aberration]] feature, Franchise/SpiderMan takes offense to WesternAnimation/TheTick's dissing of Music/ThreeDoorsDown, and starts singing their song "Kryptonite" as thus: "If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman? If I'm alive and well, will you be dere be booo bah bah! Bee blah bee!" The other action figures proceed to beat him up as he exclaims, "Kryptonite!"

''[[Annie stops walking; Jeff bumps into her]''\\

-->'''Annie:''' ♪Won't you be my daddy?/ I'm a silly Christmas baby!/ Tell me what to deck.../ Cuz' I forgot!♪ ''[falls over]''\\

--> '''[[UnreliableNarrator Marshall]]''': After a while, it was just... noise.

* In the ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode "Amplification", one of the last stages of the poisoning causes the victims to babble absolute nonsense. The first time it appears it's almost comical, but because this sets the audience up for this actually being dramatic, the remaining times it's shown it's PlayedForDrama. In [[spoiler:Reid]]'s case, the babbling starts mid-sentence.

* ''Series/MrBean'': In ''Back to School, Mr Bean'', the very composed judo instructor has a moment of this in the face of Mr Bean's extreme nervousness about being "thrown". Having tried to coax Mr Bean to co-operate, and pursued him around the room, the instructor briefly flails his arms and stutters.
--> '''Instructor:''' Look, just... just... jus.. jus.. j. j. (finally regains composure, and speaks reassuringly) Look, just calm down.
* One bit on ''Series/{{Reno 911}}'' has Dangle and Wiegel dealing with a woman who's weeping so profusely that they can't get any information out of her. Finally, Dangle starts weeping along with her and this somehow convinces her to get in the back of their squad car.
* In two episodes of ''Series/StargateSG1'' ("[[Recap/StargateSG1S2E15TheFifthRace The Fifth Race]]" and "[[Recap/StargateSG1S7E21LostCityPart1 Lost City]]") Jack gets the knowledge of the [[NeglectfulPrecursors Ancients]] downloaded into his brain by a computer, and his speech progressively incorporates more and more Ancient words until he can't speak English at all anymore.
-->''"Well, apparently I have lost the ''falatus'' to speak properly."'' ({{beat}}) ''"That wasn't a joke. I didn't do that on purpose."''

** In "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design", Jeff tells Annie to blow off looking into the sudden appearance of a teacher Jeff claims doesn't exist. Her response quickly does this.
-->'''Annie:''' Oh sure! I'll blow it off! I'll just blow everything off! Like, maybe I'll blow off walking!\\
''Stops walking, Jeff bumps into her.''\\

''Drops to the floor. Jeff steps over her and keeps going.''\\

** In "Regional Holiday Music", Annie (again) tries to sing a sexy Santa song. Emphasis on ''tries'' because her attempt at "cutesy" baby-talk eventually turns creepy:
-->'''Annie:''' ''♪Won't you be my daddy?/ I'm a silly Christmas baby!/ Tell me what to deck.../ Cuz' I forgot!♪ (falls over)''\\
'''Jeff:''' ''(legitimately concerned)'' Annie?\\
'''Annie:''' ''(crawling around on all fours) ♪Bwainy hurty undewstanding Cwistmas!/ Mistletoe for eatie taste good?/ You smawty, me dumb!/ Help pwetty have fun!/ Boop-y doop-y doop boop.../ SEX!♪''\\

* An episode of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' had the station infected with an aphasia virus. As the disease took hold, characters rapidly became unintelligible.
* {{Inverted}} for Reg Barclay on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', who normally talks with a stammer. When he starts speaking coherently, it means that things have gotten serious.

-->Nobody beezifies me
-->Nobody febbin ud.
-->Kibbldzy deen voo nizee!
-->I hate being misunderstood.

** [[https://xkcd.com/573/ #573]] has a teenage girl mocking her father's generation for their lackluster pranks (namely the Rick Roll). Her father calmly remarks that she's wrong:
--->'''Father''': I once raised a kid with conditioning so her speech centers would shut down when she was upset.
--->'''Daughter''': What? No, you couldn't have bleegle warble yargle ARRGH!

-->'''Asami:''' Oh no! I'm so sorry. I didn't see you!
-->'''Mako:''' How could you ''not'' see me? I mean, I was ''(sees her face)'' ju- ju-... I was- I- I- Wow. ''(coughs)'' That was- ''(clears throat)''
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "The Former Life of Brian".

* Happens to [[ExpendableClone Quick Clones]] in ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack'', right before they [[ImMelting dissolve into a puddle of goo]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Goobacks", the "They Took Our Jobs!" slogan spouted by the enraged blue-collar workers who've been displaced by all those people from the "feww-chure" becomes increasingly incoherent at every rally.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "Maud Pie", the title character says she likes to express herself through her wardrobe. When Rarity asks Maud what her current outfit is saying, Maud replies [[LiteralMinded "It doesn't talk. It's a dress"]]. Rarity tries to explain what she meant but soon lapses into embarrassed, incoherent spluttering.

'''Little Jim:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} He's fallen in the wa-ter!]]

* In the "Homeschooling" arc of ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', Klara gets so worked up after Chase keeps yelling at her that her limited grasp of English fails her and she's reduced to incoherence.

* When the four use the white key to visit the entrapped Pyar gods in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', they're told that the key endowed the gods with temporary coherence. After a brief and mostly unhelpful conversation, the three gods sink into gibberish before fading away. Later, when John is powering their boat through the Hungry Sea, he starts to spout gibberish as well. [[spoiler: This is actually an important plot point since it points to the curse of incoherence that was placed upon the Last Wizard centuries ago. When they encounter her, they figure out that the [[ArcWords ubiquitous saying]] “Speak the problem and it will be solved” is finally relevant in this situation, and George breaks the curse on her by telling her that she's cursed not to be able to speak.]]

->'''Stewie:''' Yeah, seemed like they're all set. She's done a fine job creating a child-friendly environmen-ta-re-mi-ooh, buh de buh boo, buh buh buh THPTHPTHPTHPT...\\

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', episode "The Former Life of Brian".

->'''Stewie:''' Yeah, it seemed like they were all set without you, she's done a fine job creating a child-friendly environmen-ta-re-mi-ooh, buh de buh boo, buh buh buh THPTHPTHPTHPT...\\

* The above from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', of course.

->'''Stewie:''' Great parenting.

This is for a piece of dialogue that starts out seeming fairly coherent, but over time gradually [[TitleDrop deteriorates into gibberish]].

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' [[https://xkcd.com/1296/ #1296]] has Git commit messages degenerating within a span of hours from "created main loop & timing control" to "here have code" to "adkfjslkdfjsdklfj."

* Creator/HPLovecraft does this "seriously" in several stories, including "Literature/TheRatsInTheWalls".

Relatively common in HilariousOuttakes. May be a sign of SanitySlippage. When anger is the specific reason for this, it would be {{Angrish}}, whereas if falling in love is the reason, then it's GibberishOfLove. It may also happen [[CutenessProximity in the presence of cute things]] or when [[InelegantBlubbering starting to cry]]. Repeating something they're trying to remember until it devolves into hopeless gobbledygook is RepeatedRehearsalFailure. When the gibberish precedes the character passing out, it's a NonSequiturThud. When it precedes a worse fate such as death or insanity, it's WordSaladHorror.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'': Pigeon Toady has an ImagineSpot where he's singing "How You Like Me Now", which eventually dissolves into nonsense. [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped The subtitles just become question marks by the end.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': When Mako first meets Asami, he's so stunned by her beauty that, for a moment, he can't do anything but [[CrushBlush blush]] and [[GibberishOfLove stutter.]]
