History Main / Hulkspeak

* JonathanCoulton's "Code Monkey" does this throughout the whole song, in character with its general protagonist.

* MemeticMutation gives this to [[ProfessionalWrestling wrestlers]] Khali and Umaga, who are only allowed to "speak" with inarticulate growls and screams (at one point Khali switched to speaking in regular English and it ''still'' came out gibberish). Khali wants cake, and Umaga just wants to be friends and refers to everyone as <descriptor of wrestler> Man, leading to "conversations" like:

->'''Fake Thog:''' [-*Ahem*-] '''THOG SMASHES!'''\\

* Thog in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. He refers to the twin brother of his boss, Nale, as "Not-Nale" and he has the classic line, "Thog not in this book. Thog sad." (Also, when breaking out of a prison, Thog becomes a darker green and yells "Thog smash puny prison!" as he obliterates the cell bars; once he goes back to his pale green, he wonders "How Thog's pants turn purple?") Apparently, this is a common trait for the orcish people, as seen (and lampshaded) [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0552.html here]].

** Writing Hulk-related [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/jun/13/actionandadventure.sciencefictionandfantasy reviews]] or [[http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/theincrediblehulk/news.html?sid=6191122 previews]] as if the hero did them occurs at times -- and is mostly hilarious. You can also check out how it looks when [[SelfDemonstrating/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk wrote his own article in this very wiki]].

->'''Phineas''': "Removing prepositions makes it more condescending."
-->--''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', "Tip Of the Day"

This is a common trait of FrankensteinsMonster, especially in adaptations of ''{{Frankenstein}}'' -- although, in the original novel, the monster spoke perfect French. This is also typical of cavemen. (The Hulkspeak, not the perfect French.)

* ''WebAnimation/NapsterBad'' depicts [[Music/{{Metallica}} James Hetfield]] as a hulking giant who talks like this. In reference to ''Film/{{Frankenstein}}'', most of his lines are along the lines of "[something] -- GOOD!" OR "[something] -- BAD!".

* Almost every Super Mutant in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' speaks that way. And if you play a character with less than 4 intelligence, he/she will, too. Amusingly enough, if a "Hulk" protagonist talks to another functionally retarded character (Torr in Klamath), their speech is subtitled. Example: "Me Torr. (Greetings, my name is Torr. How do you do?)" "You Torr. (Quite well, thank you. Do you know where I might find work?)"

** The player characters tend to speak like this when they are given very low INT scores.

*** Double subverted by Mean Sonofabitch in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': although one of the intelligent type, he still uses hulkspeak. Same for Dog from ''Dead Money'', although his alternate personality "God" speaks normally.

* WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants: YOU DOODLE, ME SPONGEBOB!

* Princess Pony Apehands and Patricia, from ''{{WesternAnimation/Spliced}}''. Notable in that the latter only does so when she's angry, and the former speaks in what can only be described as "HulkSpeak [[XMeetsY meets]] BabyTalk" (no, seriously).

* Done with a Hulk {{Expy}} in StaticShock, fitting called Tantrum.

* Java from MartinMystery speaks Hulkspeak by virtue of being a caveman.

** The closest we get is his CatchPhrase: '''Hulk is strongest there is!''' Everything else is normal, or [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic/cynical]]. However, the more pissed off he gets, the more likely you are to hear HulkSpeak. (This, by the way, is when you want to ''[[UnstoppableRage run for your life]].'')

** Grimlock in ''[[TransformersGeneration1 Generation 1]]'' and ''[[TransformersAnimated Animated]]''. In the cartoons, this is apparently because he's stupid. In the MarvelComics continuity, he is actually very intelligent, and the "Me Grimlock" speak is due to a faulty voice box, ObfuscatingStupidity, or both.

----> "'''Grimlock''' [[LampshadeHanging Oh, yes, it is I, Grimlock... and so much more now. To be specific, that would be 'so much more than you, now'. It does appear that there are certain linguistic idiosyncrasies that I, Grimlock, am still stuck with, however. But mustn't complain too much,]] [[VerbalTic wot?]]
** Devastator from ''RevengeOfTheFallen''; although he doesn't speak in the movie, there are large toys of the character with several pre-recorded phrases. Have fun with epic sayings such as "CRUSH AUTOBOTS!!!" and "I AM DECEPTICON!!!". We also get a shoutout to ''TheTransformersTheMovie'' from one toy, with "PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!"

** Most G1 giant bots and combination bots talk like this, and it's seen with the good guys as well as the bad. With the combiners, it's generally held to be the result of a gestalt's mind containing only what all five members have in common. That leaves little ''but'' "Crush Autobots!" However, Predaking's five members are on the same page to the point that even though beast-bots and giant-bots in G1 ''generally'' have half the IQ of a box of rocks, Predaking - a giant bot made of beast bots - is ''very'' intelligent, and has a [[SpiderMan Kraven the Hunter]]-like personality.

-->'''Berserker''': CRAP, PISS, KILL!

** If you're lucky, Bizarro is only using Hulk speak. More often, he's combined it with ConfusingMultipleNegatives, in a form that isn't consist from appearance to appearance or even line to line.

* One (RonPerlman) in ''Film/TheCityOfLostChildren''.

*** Hulk's new persona, Green Scar, is the classic Savage Hulk (who has the mind of a small child) all grown up.
** {{Deadpool}} recently showed up in the Hulk books and his thought narration was in Hulk speak.

[[SelfDemonstratingArticle This is speak type for]] [[DumbMuscle character what has more muscle than brain]].

* The foosa in ''{{Madagascar}}''.

->"'''crong hope crong get to verb conjugation before end of week'''"
->"'''[[ThirdPersonPerson gok look forward to first-person pronouns]]'''"
->"'''[[AllLowercaseLetters capital letters intrigue mungu]]'''"

* Taz, the Tazmanian Devil, in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts where he has any lines other than "Growl, spit". On ''{{Taz-Mania}}'', his own show, the rest of his family speaks normally.

* The giant Grawp in ''HarryPotter'' uses {{Hulkspeak}}, including simplified names like "Hagger" instead of "Hagrid" and "Hermy" instead of "Hermione".

Sometimes this dialect will spoof itself, with the character referring to complicated issues. ("Mongo only [[ThePawn pawn in game of life]].")

* Jitterjack and Gloo from ''AstroCity''.

** Waspinator in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' -- he refers to himself as 'I' exactly once, and Optimus Primal and Megatron are the only characters he refers to by name.

* Petrie from ''TheLandBeforeTime'' and every single one of its sequels speaks like this. Somewhat of a subversion since he's very, very far from muscular.
