* Tiger Woods' proclivity for profanity after an awry golf shot led ''Magazine/SportsIllustrated'' writer Joe Posnanski to write, "When he hits a shot that's only 90% perfect, Woods [[InvokedTrope rants like he's in a David Mamet production.]]"

* It is almost always "vulgar". In keeping with Mamet's general domain of tough-talking characters, ClusterFBomb is the name of the game. (Creator/RogerEbert once titled a Movie Glossary entry the "Mamet Dammit" while noting that the swears in question usually weren't that mild.)

* Creator/BrianMichaelBendis does this in his works (as seen in the image), some even call him the "Mamet of Comics". He variously refers to Mamet as his god, his hero and his go-to source of inspiration.

->'''Moss:''' No. What do you mean? Have I talked to him about this... [pause]\\

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in Peter Benchley's ''Q Clearance''. The protagonist, who is normally very erudite and a devotee of Creator/SamuelJohnson, is being given a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech by his soon-to-be-estranged wife. The narration notes that, as Johnson had nothing to say about this kind of situation, the protagonist falls back on Mamet:
-->''Fuck you, Joan of Arc!''

'''Czogolsz''': Never.\\
'''Byck''': No, we're never gonna get the prize--\\
'''Fromme''': No one listens.\\

* Ensemble numbers in Creator/StephenSondheim musicals sometimes approach this, with characters quickly interjecting comments with sixteenth-note precision. In "Another National Anthem" from ''Theatre/{{Assassins}}'', the following lines are sung in quick succession:

* Each episode being only a few minutes long at most, ''{{Hey Ash Whatcha Playin}}'' is rife with constant dialogue back and forths, snappy sentences and a fair amount of cursing.

* Creator/QuentinTarantino has listed DavidMamet as one of the key inspirations for his own style of dialogue.

* Naturally, the works of David Mamet himself.

* Possibly referenced in a couple lines of dialogue from ''Film/TheToxicAvenger 2'', of all places:

* ''{{Archer}}'' is a great example, with every character getting in on the fun.

* Aaron Sorkin's distinctive dialogue style (as heard in ''Series/TheWestWing,'' ''[[Studio60OnTheSunsetStrip Studio 60]],'' and ''TheNewsroom'') is similar, though with less cursing and less of characters talking over each other. And arguably more {{Author Filibuster}}s.

* ''{{Extra Pulp}}'' is completely built around this trope. All of the characters speak in short, profanity-ridden sentences that overlap and repeat each other.

* Possibly referenced in a couple lines of dialogue from ''TheToxicAvenger 2'', of all places:

* The first scene between Roy and Joe in ''AngelsInAmerica'' contains a lot of this, with Joe's attempts to get a word in edgewise between Roy's onslaughts of speech.
