History Main / SimpletonVoice

A very common characteristic of {{Mooks}} and TheDitz, as well the MooseAreIdiots, DogsAreDumb, DumbDinos or a DoofyDodo characterization.

* Creator/EdgarBergen used this kind of voice for his dummy Mortimer Snerd, in contrast to the higher-pitched, sharp-witted Charlie McCarthy.

%%* Red XIII is voiced this way in ''Machinima/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged''.

* Caboose from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''. Early episodes didn't have it, but Joel Heyman eventually got the voice to a "obvious moron" one, and the writing ramped up the character's stupidity as well. Joel also explained that Caboose speaks [[CutenessProximity like a human does so to a dog or cat, "only everything to him is an animal".]]

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
** Strong Mad from speaks in an extremely exaggerated version of this trope, PlayedForLaughs. Most of his dialogue is nigh-unintelligible growls, but if you listen closely he ''is'' saying actual words...probably. Homestar Runner himself is a (somewhat) more subdued version of this trope.
%%** Homsar. Dear God, '''''HOMSAR'''''.

* Caboose from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''. Early episodes didn't have it, but Joel Heyman eventually got the voice to a "obvious moron" one, and the writing ramped up the character's stupidity as well. Joel also explained that Caboose speaks [[CutenessProximity like a human does so to a dog or cat, "only everything to him is an animal".]]

* The Flap-Jacks from ''Videogame/CarnEvil'' have a rather Goofy-esque voice.

%%* Rocky from ''WesternAnimation/AvengerPenguins''.
%%* Baby Bugs, Baby Taz and Baby Sylvester in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes''.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''

%%* Lube from ''WesternAnimation/CatDog''
* Waffle from ''WesternAnimation/{{Catscratch}}'' has the goofy high-pitched voice common to characters voiced by Creator/KevinMcDonald, which in this case indicates his ditzy character to viewers.

* Philly Phil from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'' represents a rare case of this trope being used to support a DitzyGenius characterization, with him being the curious and [[GadgeteerGenius inventive]] but frequently hapless SmartGuy of the team.
%%* Cleveland Jr. from ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''.
%%* Gil from ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017''.

%%* Willy White from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''.

* Cosmo from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' has an extremely high pitched voice. In fact, thanks to his {{Flanderisation}} from "goofy but smart" to "straight up idiot", his voice got progressively higher. In the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, he was pretty intelligent ( [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness probably even smarter than WANDA]] ) and had a deep and smooth voice. In first few seasons, when he was goofier and less intelligent, but not to terrible levels, he had higher voice, but it still had a natural tone to it. In later seasons, when he became TooDumbToLive, he has voice so high you would swear that either his [[TheOtherDarrin original voice actor got replaced]] or that his voice is digitally edited to sound like that.

%%* Lenny from ''WesternAnimation/{{Freaktown}}'' is basically Beezy as a giant mantis (ironically Lenny's voice actor was Jimmy himself).

%%* Tred Possum in ''WesternAnimation/GetMuggsy''.

%%* Gerold from ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodeFamily''.

%%* Mungo from ''WesternAnimation/HeathcliffAndTheCatillacCats''.

%%* Baby Shellby from ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': Spreads across several iterations of the franchise--the larger MAD henchmen tend to talk like this. Corporal Capeman, who somehow manages to be even dumber than Gadget, also speaks with this kind of a voice.

%%* Hubert Test from ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest''.
%%* Luanne and Bill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.
* Any character from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' that parodies [[Literature/OfMiceAndMen Lennie Smalls]], such as [[AndCallHimGeorge Hugo the Abominable Snowman]] from "The Abominable Snow-Rabbit" and [[KindheartedSimpleton Benny the cat]] from "Hoppy-Go-Lucky" (who even calls Sylvester "George"). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKxrJQlSMXs Here is a compilation of such characters]].

%%* Peppermint Larry from ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack''.
%%* Penny from ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''.
%%* Tooley from ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}''.

%%* Principal Pixiefrog and Neardy Crocodile from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.

%%* Jack from ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack''
%%* Mr. Flea from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pearlie}}''.
%%* From the rare times he says something other than Dinosaur, No or Why, George from ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' sounds like this.
* Pinky from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' speaks in a heavy Cockney accent to emphasize his simplemindedness.
%%* Big Billy of the Gangrene Gang from ‘’WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls’’ he is easily the least intelligent member of the gang.

%%* Ticket Guy from the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Caffinated Concert Tickets".

%%* Heffer from ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife''.
%%* Nester, Momma, Paddy, Buck, Dan Duck and Paulie from ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel''.

%%* Scorpia from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' has one, though the character didn't seem particularly stupid.[[note]]Furthermore, she doesn't have this voice in every episode.[[/note]]
%%* Vlad from ''WesternAnimation/ShurikenSchool''.

* Patrick Star from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' is one of the top examples in western animation; most probably first heard the stereotypical low-pitched, goofy-sounding dopey kind of voice associated with this trope from him. However, up until Season 9, the Japanese dub of the TV series[[note]]but not the first movie[[/note]] gave Patrick a high-pitched voice similar to Creator/MasakoNozawa's Goku.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
** BrainlessBeauty Lindsay speaks in a high-pitched childlike ValleyGirl voice that instantly gives away her extreme lack of intelligence.
** Max is a super-villain wannabe who believes he's an EvilGenius, but in actuality, he's a bumbling buffoon.
** Downplayed with Sugar. While she has a [[DeepSouth heavy hick accent]], and is certainly BookDumb and {{ditz}}y, she is a lot more [[ObfuscatingStupidity cunning and ruthless]] than her style of speech would suggest.
* Spud from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' is so dull and dim-witted, he speaks almost as fast as he thinks...rather slowly.


%%* Junior from Creator/TexAvery's George and Junior shorts




%%* Brain from ''WesternAnimation/TopCat''.






%%* Chief from ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju''.

%%* Airhead, and no doubt several other characters, in ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters''.



%%* On the [[SuddenlySpeaking few occasions]] [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Tom]] spoke, it was this voice more often than not.
%%* Hi-Riser from ''WesternAnimation/WheelieAndTheChopperBunch''.
%%* Lumpy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.


%%* Lilly from ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'' a rare female example. However she loses this voice when she gets very upset, ashamed, or annoyed.
%%** From the same show the duo Frank and Frank.




%%* Wild Card and the Watchdog janitor in the ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' episode "The Big Job".

* Hyuck! [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Goofy]] (1932), first appearing in the early days of the sound era, may have been the very first cartoon character with a voice like this. Bill Farmer is capable of pulling off the voice while still giving Goofy an impressive emotional range in modern productions.
* Homer Simpson is the leader of a small crowd of such characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' that also include his friend Barney Gumble (whose exaggerated slurred drawl is because he's almost always drunk), Cletus (who has stereotypical "yokel" voice), and Chief Wiggum (who has a comical nasally voice) and his son Ralph (who uses a vacuous-sounding high-pitched variation). However, Homer is definitely one of the most iconic examples in western animation.
** Parodied/subverted with Oxford "Ox" Haas, one of the soldiers Grampa Simpson served with in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII in "''The Curse of the Flying Hellfish.''" He spoke with this voice, and looked exactly like the kind of person who would.
--->'''Burns:''' How many of you are familiar with the concept of a "{{Tontine}}"?\\
''[[[BeatPanel beat]]; all stare at Burns silently, until Ox raises his hand]''\\
'''Burns:''' All right, Ox. Why don't you take us through it?\\
'''Ox:''' ''Duh'', essentially, we all enter into a contract whereby the last surviving participant becomes the sole possessor of...[[SophisticatedAsHell all them purty pictures]].
** In one ImagineSpot where Lisa imagines her future after losing her intelligence, she's inexplicably gained a southern accent.
* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Fear of a Bot Planet" where the crew meets [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness the council of robot elders]]. They promote human hunts to distract from their bigger problems.
-->'''Elder 1:''' Like our crippling lugnut shortage.\\
'''Elder 2:''' And an incompetent group of robot elders.\\
'''Elder 3:''' Duh, that's for sure.\\
'''Elder 1:''' Quiet, Jimmy!
** Igner (of Mom's three sons) can also qualify as this. The {{irony}} comes in when we learn his father is [[spoiler: Professor Farnsworth!]]
* Patrick Star from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' is one of the top examples in western animation; most probably first heard the stereotypical low-pitched, goofy-sounding dopey kind of voice associated with this trope from him. However, up until Season 9, the Japanese dub of the TV series[[note]]but not the first movie[[/note]] gave Patrick a high-pitched voice similar to Creator/MasakoNozawa's Goku.
** Peter Browngardt, aka Uncle Grandpa, makes a guest appearance in the Season 10 episode "Patrick's Coupon" as the Ice Cream King and used Uncle G's voice. The similarity between the voices is uncanny. In the German version, they brought back Patrick's original German voice to voice the Ice Cream King.
%%* WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa talks in this voice all the time.
%%* Jack from ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack''
* Pinky from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' speaks in a heavy Cockney accent to emphasize his simplemindedness.

%%* Bebop and Rocksteady in the '80s ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon.
%%* Luanne and Bill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
** BrainlessBeauty Lindsay speaks in a high-pitched childlike ValleyGirl voice that instantly gives away her extreme lack of intelligence.
** Max is a super-villain wannabe who believes he's an EvilGenius, but in actuality, he's a bumbling buffoon.

%%* Junior from Creator/TexAvery's George and Junior shorts

%%* Brain from ''WesternAnimation/TopCat''.
%%* Megawatt from ''WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha''.

* Snails and Derpy Hooves from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Derpy is a strange case; Creator/TabithaStGermain was, apparently, originally under the impression that Derpy was meant to be a boy. So Derpy was never actually intended to have this trope; she just got one because Tabitha isn't very good at CrossdressingVoices.

%%* Chief from ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju''.

%%* Principal Pixiefrog and Neardy Crocodile from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.

%%* Penny from ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''.


%%* Nester, Momma, Paddy, Buck, Dan Duck and Paulie from ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel''.
%%* Mr. Flea from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pearlie}}''.

%%* Officer Barbrady from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' combines this with NoIndoorVoice.
%%** Shelley also talks this way (though it may just be a SpeechImpediment caused by cumbersome dental work).

%%* Peppermint Larry from ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack''.
%%* Vlad from ''WesternAnimation/ShurikenSchool''.
%%* Ticket Guy from the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Caffinated Concert Tickets".
%%* Mole from ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'', as well as Bogus himself.
%%* Hubert Test from ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest''.
%%* Tooley from ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}''.

%%* Scorpia from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' has one, though the character didn't seem particularly stupid.[[note]]Furthermore, she doesn't have this voice in every episode.[[/note]]

* Shirley from ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep''. Seeing that she's the FatIdiot of the group, her voice is low and raspy.

%%* Lenny from ''WesternAnimation/{{Freaktown}}'' is basically Beezy as a giant mantis (ironically Lenny's voice actor was Jimmy himself).
%%* ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' has Lurky, Murky DIsmal's hairy assistant.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}:
%%-->Duh, I am Mo-Ron.[[note]]A later episode calls him "Bo-Ron", which was eventually lampshaded in an even later episode.[[/note]]


%%* On ''WesternAnimation/MyFriendRabbit'', even various summary listings describe the character of Thunder as being "slower" than the other characters, and he has this sort of voice to match.
%%* On ''WesternAnimation/MackAndMoxy'', despite being a somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] version of the MooseAreIdiots characterization, Mack speaks this way.





%%* Steve the NeatFreak boss from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bordertown}}''.
%%* Big Billy of the Gangrene Gang from ‘’WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls’’ he is easily the least intelligent member of the gang.
%%* From the rare times he says something other than Dinosaur, No or Why, George from ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' sounds like this.
* Kuchipatchi has this voice in ''WesternAnimation/TamagotchiVideoAdventures'', contrasting with his appearances in later ''Franchise/{{Tamagotchi}}'' media where he has a much higher-pitched voice.
* Largely subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''. Bulkhead is TheBigGuy of the team, with a slow and heavy voice. He has around average intelligence (with some HiddenDepths) and is generally hurt that some people might see him as an [[DumbMuscle unintelligent brute]].

* Hyuck! [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Goofy]] (1932), first appearing in the early days of the sound era, may have been the very first cartoon character with a voice like this. Bill Farmer is capable of pulling off the voice while still giving Goofy an impressive emotional range in modern productions.

%%** Also Beaky Buzzard, and Junyor Bear, and Pete Puma, who incidentally were all voiced by Creator/StanFreberg.
%%** Mugsy of Rocky and Mugsy.

%%* Various minor ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren & Stimpy Show]]'' characters, such as Lump and Loaf. Not to mention Stimpy himself.
* Chris Griffin from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. This wasn't actually the intention; Creator/SethGreen went into the audition and decided to do his impression of Ted Levine as Buffalo Bill in ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' as a joke, but ended up getting the part. Inevitably, this is referenced in a cut-away gag where Chris does an impression of Buffalo Bill dancing naked (and tucked back) in front of a mirror.
** And in the original version of the Pilot, his voice is more of a typical low-pitched simpleton voice.
** For that matter, Barry in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', who has the same voice, only slightly more affected. Well, it isn't his real voice but the voice he has while [[spoiler: heavily drugged to suppress his true, evil personality. His real voice is a cultured accent]].

* Grounder in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. His voice changes to [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish Received Pronunciation]] when he gets a [[SmartBall genius chip]].
%%* Bebop and Rocksteady in the '80s ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon.
%%* Luanne and Bill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.

%%* Hi-Riser from ''WesternAnimation/WheelieAndTheChopperBunch''.
%%* Lumpy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.
* Richard from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''. Sussie the Chinikin is an even more extreme version (but only [[TheOtherDarrin when she's voiced by Fergus Craig]]; her Aurelie Charbonnier voice is more calm and sounds mostly like a normal girl.
%%* Scorpia from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' has one, though the character didn't seem particularly stupid.[[note]]Furthermore, she doesn't have this voice in every episode.[[/note]]
%%* Lilly from ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'' a rare female example. However she loses this voice when she gets very upset, ashamed, or annoyed.
%%** From the same show the duo Frank and Frank.
* ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'': Chip and Skip are ditzy dung beetles that have deep, dopey voices. Clam's voice is scratchy and similarly low-pitched, [[ObfuscatingStupidity but he's far from stupid]].
* Shirley from ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep''. Seeing that she's the FatIdiot of the group, her voice is low and raspy.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''
** {{Invoked|Trope}} by Batman whenever he is being Bruce Wrayne in public, to strengthen his cover as a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob. Bruce tends to downplay Batman's normal BadassBaritone and speak in a somewhat higher pitched and more cheerful voice, as well as using a much more simple vocabolary.
** Harley Quinn spoke in the female variation, complete with a Jersey-like accent. In the episode "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE21MadLove Mad Love]]", it's revealed that before she was brainwashed by the Joker, her she spoke in a lower pitched voice and the accent was more subtle. Also subverted; not only can she switch to a deeper, un-accented voice at will (as shown in the episode, "The Man Who Killed Batman"), but she's actually highly intelligent, not only having been a psychologist before her brainwashing, but able to pull off a perfectly good and understated gem heist on her own. The implication is that she acts like this because the Joker ''prefers'' for her to act stupid.
%%* As in the comics, Moose in ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow'' and ''Archie's Funhouse'' is voiced this way. Same goes for Big Ethel.
%%* Wild Card and the Watchdog janitor in the ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' episode "The Big Job".
%%* Baby Bugs, Baby Taz and Baby Sylvester in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes''.

%%* Gil from ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017''.

In later seasons, when he became TooDumbToLive, he has voice so high you would swear that either his [[TheOtherDarrin original voice actor got replaced]] or that his voice is digitally edited to sound like that.

* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', when Jay's boss, Duke Phillips (who speaks with a southern accent) meets Jay's new assistant, Alice (who is also southern). He notes to her about how as southerners, they have to work extra hard in New York because as soon as people hear them talk, they're immediately dismissed as illiterate, country bumpkins.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': Spreads across several iterations of the franchise--the larger MAD henchmen tend to talk like this. Corporal Capeman, who somehow manages to be even dumber than Gadget, also speaks with this kind of a voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/GlennMartinDDS'': [[DumbassTeenageSon Connor Martin]] speaks in a whiny, nasally voice. It's most evident when he temporarily becomes a genius after hitting his head with a frying pan; he sounds normal (albeit speaking with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness).
%%* On ''WesternAnimation/ButterbeansCafe'', the monkey minions of show CardCarryingVillain Ms. Maralady, Spork and Spatch, both look and act really stupid and have this voice to match.
%%* Rick the crazy chicken guy and Gus the sound mixer in ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo''.

* Philly Phil from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'' represents a rare case of this trope being used to support a DitzyGenius characterization, with him being the curious and [[GadgeteerGenius inventive]] but frequently hapless SmartGuy of the team.

* Philly Phil from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'' represents a rare case of this tripe being used to support a DitzyGenius characterization, with him being the curious and [[GadgeteerGenius inventive]] but frequently hapless SmartGuy of the team.

%%* Philly Phil of ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'' has this type of voice. However, rather than being an idiot, he's a DitzyGenius.

* Spud from ''WesternAnimation/PresentsTheRidonculousRace'' is so dull and dim-witted, he speaks almost as fast as he thinks...rather slowly.

* Lindsay from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' speaks in a high-pitched childlike ValleyGirl voice that instantly gives away her extreme lack of intelligence.

* Harley Quinn in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' spoke in the female variation, complete with a Jersey-like accent.

The implication is that she acts like this because the Joker ''prefers'' for her to act stupid.

* Bulkhead of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' has a slow and heavy voice courtesy of his voice actor, Creator/BillFagerbakke. {{Subverted|Trope}} when he turns out to be a GeniusDitz.

%%* From ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' we have the Dung Beetles, Chip and Skip. There's also Clam who subverts the trope as he only [[ObfuscatingStupidity behaves like one]].

%%* Lilly from ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'' a rare female example. However she loses this voice when she get's very upset, ashamed, or annoyed.

* Shirley from ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep''. Seeing that she's the FatIdiot of the idiot, her voice is low and raspy.

%%** [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Miho]] from Season 0.

** Peter Browngardt, aka Uncle Grandpa, makes a guest appearance in the Season 11 episode "Patrick's Coupon" as the Ice Cream King and used Uncle G's voice. The similarity between the voices is uncanny. In the German version, they brought back Patrick's original German voice to voice the Ice Cream King.
