* Ducky, from ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime,'' ends most sentences with either "yep, yep, yep" or "nope, nope, nope." (In fact, [[TearJerker the voice actress's tombstone has "Yep yep yep" on it]].)

->''"This guy KONK! has a strange KONK! speech pattern KONK! Oh no, it's [=KONKtagious=]!"''

* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueFamilyShatters'': In West's dream in "Hard Boiled", most of the characters have a tendency to end sentences with "see?" to fit with the [[NoirEpisode period setting]].

** Please... don't do that with your head on.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': The Skaven have a habit of repeating some words (in their language, repeating a word adds emphasis to it) and call other races as (name)-things, like "Man-things", they do yes-yes. As shown in the novel Grey Seer, they also often put words together when speaking in Queekish (kill-slay, traitor-meat, see-smell etc.). [[spoiler:Jeremias Scrivener speaks the same way when challenging Thanquol in Queekish, so this seems to be a trait of the language.]]

* The mascot from ''WebAnimation/MangaSaprano'' uses "Puni" at the end of sentences.

* Mitchell, in the Roleplay/MSFHighForum and ''Webcomic/MSFHighIRC'', has an interesting one, in AIM chat and IRC. He tends to surround "action" posts with "8action8". This is due to a incorrectly working shift key, which doesn't register his attempt to post "*action*".

An exceptionally ([[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Narf!]]) odd CatchPhrase used to the point it [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei see-heems]] more like a bodily emission than speaking. This is often a single nonsense word added at the end of sentences, well past the expected formal variations in speech, [[CanadaEh eh?]] It can, [[WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn ah say]], it can also be a word, sound, or phrase that, [[LikeIsLikeAComma like]], shows up in various places [[VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy KONK!]] in a character's dialogue. In Japanese, character tics that occur at the end of sentences are referred to as "kyara-gobi" (キャラ語尾, chara(cter) word/sentence ending).

-->-- '''Konk''''s toy description, ''VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy''

* On ''Podcast/TheJohnDredgeNothingToDoWithAnythingShow'', Don Durbridge, the man who has become slightly odd and is now going around randomly shouting "Biscuits!".
* Because they often involve watching reconstructions or listening to audiobooks instead of being able to watch the episodes properly, ''Podcast/WhoBackWhen'' host Ponken will typically review {{Missing Episode}}s of ''Doctor Who'' by himself, rather than make his co-hosts have to go through them. When hosting alone, Ponken notes he has a tendency to overuse words like "anyway".
* [[ManOfWealthAndTaste The Railroad Man]] from ''[[Podcast/OldGodsOfAppalachia Old Gods of Appalachia]]'' frequently ends his sentences with one of these, mmmyes?

* The Skeksis Chamberlain in ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' has "Hmmmmmmmm!"

* Mitchell, in the Roleplay/MSFHighForum and ''Webcomic/MSFHighIRC'', has an interesting one, in AIM chat and IRC. He tends to surround "action" posts with "8action8". This is due to a incorrectly working shift key, which doesn't register his attempt to post "*action*".

* In ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'', a race of rat-people known as Ratkin tend to repeat random words when speaking Rokugani. Towards the end of their regular appearances in the story, this was scaled back as the players were getting sick of it (although some of their later appearances retain the quirk).
* In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', some players (and [=DMs=]) who roleplay kobolds tend to have them saying "meep!" with almost every line, often with a fair amount of ''HulkSpeak'' for good measure.

* Luke in ''WebAnimation/ProfessorLaytonAndTheMalignantGrowth'':
** BASEBALL!!!
** I'M 42!!!

* In WebAnimation/ADayWithBowserJr, Fawful has the same Engrish speaking pattern as he does in the games.
* In {{WebAnimation/TGQTSBFH}}, there's Crazy Yoshi's Dad, who has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pineapple Shouting Disorder]].
** PINEAPPLE!

* ''WebAnimation/AcedemySugoiSeiun'' has Kumo say "kyu" after (almost) every sentence.

* The Kobolds of ''WebAnimation/UnforgottenRealms'' often say "kobold" when they're talking. Or for (seemingly) no reason. All a person has to do to speak the "language" of the Kobolds is to say nothing but "kobold".

* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'':
** Here's the thing! Here's the thing! Perry often repeats a small phrase twice before saying what he wants to say, in stereotypical parrot fashion.
** Bee pronounces "S's" as "Z's", going with the whole "buzzing bee" thing.
** Knobs adds "do" before any words with an "or" in them. For example, "stdoor" instead of "store".
* Plasma Ball from ''WebAnimation/BrawlForObjectPalace'' has random, brief moments of spazzing with electricity while speaking. These spazzes actually have a canon name, "zaps."

This is also a common trope for TalkingAnimal or LittleBitBeastly characters, to show that they keep the animal noises while talking.

* [[ManOfWealthAndTaste The Railroad Man]] from ''[[Podcast/OldGodsOfAppalachia Old Gods of Appalachia]]'' freqeuntly ends his sentences with one of these, mmmyes?

* VerbalTic/ProWrestling

* VerbalTic/WebComics

!!Other Examples:

* In ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'''s second season ''Tooba Tooba Noonbory'', Totobory ends his sentences with "-keta".

** Creator/BenShapiro: "And the idea, and the idea..." This tic idea is expanded in "Thanksgiving With Ben Shapiro", where almost everyone in Ben's family ends their sentences with "folks". Even Ben's infant son does this.
