4 | An American comedian, ''Durwood Fincher'', a.k.a. "Mr. Doubletalk" is a man who pretends to be interviewing various people for news reports. The main problem for these interviewees is that Fincher's questions are completely nonsensical. |

8 | !!Tropes used by Durwood Fincher include: |
9 | * CatchPhrase: "What, if any, and if not, how much?" |
10 | ** He also occasionally slips in "...and I guess really..." amidst his more gibberishy lines as a sort of semantic glue in order to fool people into thinking he just said something non-nonsensical. |
11 | ** "I said that, and I know I did..." |
12 | * DreamWithinADream: He [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0va4piKl4Lg claims]] to have had one during his ''Series/{{Today}}'' interview: |
13 | -->'''Fincher:''' Last night I dreamed I was awake, and then when I woke up I was asleep. |
14 | * FreudianSlip: From his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tDorQPnkbfw Huckabee interview]]: |
15 | -->'''Fincher:''' I'm trying to [[TakeThat run from Congress]] -- I mean ''for'' Congress. |
16 | * NonSequitur: Even when he isn't stringing random syllables together, Fincher's grammatically correct utterances don't always make a lot of sense in context. This line from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjZ7aiXZDk4 Democratic National Convention]] excursion stands out: |
17 | -->'''Fincher:''' I grew up Baptist. I've come into a lot of money, so of course now I'm Presbyterian. |
18 | * SouthernGentleman |
19 | * StealthParody: He does such a good job conveying the persona of a legitimate media interviewer that his interviewees always try their best to give him sincere answers to his gibberish questions. |
