4An 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.
20* WordSaladHumor
