** Also we have Lopez in-universe do to so few characters speaking Spanish, to the point where Lopez starts taking advantage of it to relentlessly mock and insult the rest of the characters to their faces without their knowledge. Bites him in the ass when Carolina turns out to be bilingual.
** The aliens we meet have an entire language made of only two words:"honk" and "blarg". This causes a few problems until [[spoiler: Andy the Bomb]] starts acting as a translator.

** There's also Homsar, who speaks English, but nothing he says makes [[WordSalad any sense whatsoever]]. In episode 2 of ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People'', Strong Bad finally discovers a way to understand Homsar and speak his "language." If he imitates Homsar's usual speech pattern after this point, Homsar will ask him "Why are you talking gibberish, Strong Bad? You sound like a two year old boy!"

* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' has multiple examples. Scootaloo only communicates by {{scatting}} (complete with translated subtitles). Bon Bon talks in an irritating, high-pitched "Ya ya ya ya!" Braeburn does speak English, but he's a MotorMouth with a thick Irish accent, so other characters in the show have difficulty understanding him.

* In BamanPiderman, Tuba can only speak in tuba sounds.
* The ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' universe has several. Pom Pom speaks in bubbling sound effects. The Cheat speaks in animalistic squeaks and growls. Strong Mad originally spoke by yelling the word "DUH!" but eventually graduated to yelling intelligible words and short phrases. And Sherlock, the "star" of the "crazy cartoon" Sweet Cuppin' Cakes (who is described as looking like "a cross between a cow and a helicopter" despite actually resembling neither) only speaks in "these weird sounds, and no words." This is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in episode 2 of ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', in which Pom Pom reprimands Strong Bad for [[RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear repeating everything he says]].
** Both Strong Mad and The Cheat are sometimes capable of speaking intelligibly. The Cheat, in particular, does the voices for all the "Powered by The Cheat" cartoons [[WordOfGod according to the creators]]--the voices sound like half-assed impersonations of the main cast, which are all delivered by the less vocally talented half of the two creators in reality.
** There's also Homsar, who speaks English, but nothing he says makes [[WordSalad any sense whatsoever]]. In episode 2 of ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People'', Strong Bad finally discovers a way to understand Homsar and speak his "language." If he imitates Homsar's usual speech pattern after this point, Homsar will ask him "Why are you talking gibberish, Strong Bad? You sound like a two year old boy!"
** If we're talking about Homsar, then let's not forget Senor Cardgage.
-->"Carrageenan, Monteljohn. Can you detect me to the nearest bus stamp?"
** There was a competition between Homsar and Senor Cardgage for the title of ''Non Sequitur Champion''. Cardgage lost, and his prize for losing was having to complete a coherent sentence, which took him ''three tries''. "Grape Soda Banked" is apparently as close as he comes to actual coherence.
