** The ''Series/TwinPeaks''-esque ShowWithinAShow "Address Unknown", whose episodes are scattered throughout games one and two, is all about this.

* Many of Creator/SamuelBeckett's works contain elements of this, especially his novel ''How It Is'' and his play ''Theater/WaitingForGodot''

** Even more prevalent in Creator/WilliamSBurroughs ' cut-up trilogy of novels.

* A vast majority of [[Music/AcidBath Acid Bath's]] songs feature this, usually juxtaposing images of beauty and youth with UncannyValley vocal effects and lyrics

* The vinyl version of Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor's ''Yanqui U.X.O.'' features a bonus track called "George Bush Cut Up While Talking", composed almost entirely of chopped samples from a speech by UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush. The cutting is extremely rapid; Bush rarely completes even a single word, seeming to make him speak in tongues. The "speech" is interspersed with applause cut in the same manner, adding to the UncannyValley effect. This piece is actually the inspiration for the Website/SCPFoundation article providing the page quote.

* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'':

--->"The bartender is shiny stuff and dreams are made of stooped necromancers. He sings like a banana wrist having strayed too close to the constellations on their shaved skulls. The rain of frogs ended and the rain of blood comes down. Doing the flips and then I'll be gone! The whole city was an image, riding the bar. He yearns to get a taste of those tentacles..."

* The infamous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion]] of 1987 saw the interruption of a ''Series/DoctorWho'' broadcast ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS15E1HorrorOfFangRock Horror of Fang Rock]]" specifically) with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWdgAMYjYSs a video]] of a person in a Series/MaxHeadroom mask, whose identity is unknown to this day, rambling about completely nonsensical subjects interrupted by him(?) alternately [[LaughingMad laughing]] and screaming. There ''are'' some identifiable themes present (the intruder makes a point of mocking Chicago sportscaster Chuck Swirsky and WGN), but they're quickly subsumed by chaos.

* On March 27, 2012, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetBlue_Flight_191 JetBlue Flight 191]] captain Clayton Osbon suffered what he later described as a complex partial brain seizure, resulting in a [[SanitySlippage gradual yet severe mental breakdown]] as ''100% Blue'' proceeded from New York to Las Vegas. As he turned his flight instruments off, he started making disturbing, nonsensical quasi-religious statements like "We need to take a leap of faith" that became increasingly fervent as time went on, talked about how the plane wouldn't make it to Vegas and it was a city of sin anyway, and then responded to a suggestion by increasingly worried first officer Jason Dowd to let an off-duty pilot in the cockpit by giving [[WordSaladPhilosophy what Dowd described as a sermon]]. Realizing Osbon was unfit to fly and might deliberately crash, Dowd tricked him into leaving the cockpit, locked him out, and, accompanied by the deadheading pilot as relief captain, started to descend to Amarillo for an emergency landing. While this likely prevented a disaster, it caused Osbon to become extremely agitated and hostile, fixated on military actions in the Middle East and a nonexistent bomb on board, and even less coherent than he was in the cockpit. Several passengers on their way to a security conference subdued the deranged pilot as he yelled nonsense like "We got Israel, we got Iraq! ''We gotta get down!''", "Guys, push it to full throttle!", and "We all better start saying the Lord's Prayer!", keeping him pinned down until Amarillo authorities were able to get him off the plane and to a mental health facility.

Characters who spout this are frequently often LaughingMad, to deepen the sense of insanity and instability.
