2[[caption-width-right:350:Meet Loud Kiddington. The "loud" in his name isn't an adjective. [[MeaningfulName Loud]] is his ''name''.]]
3Examples of NoIndoorVoice in {{WESTERN ANIMATION}}!!!
4----
5* ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBabyBackInBusiness'': Magnus always speaks in a loud monotone voice. When asked about it, he claims to have "LOST MY INSIDE VOICE IN AN ACCIDENT."
6* ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' has a character called Loud Kiddington (depicted as page image), whose name should be self-explanatory.
7** Pepper Mills is also quite prone to yelling a lot, but mostly when she's excited about something (usually meeting a historical figure that she thinks is a pop cultural celebrity).
8* ''WesternAnimation/TwoStupidDogs''
9** The character Hollywood's catchphrase was "Isn't that cute?... But it's '''WROOONNNGGG!!'''", which was always delivered over the top no matter how minor the matter was. (When he wasn't shouting, his voice wasn't particularly loud, but it still ''felt'' loud with a sort of gruff, obnoxious quality.)
10** And don't forget Little Red Riding Hood, whose voice seemed to randomly fluctuate between what would be expected of a little girl and a yell with an almost foghorn-like quality.
11* The king of constant yelling, [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Yosemite Sam]], has a voice so loud and boisterous that it eventually took a huge toll on Creator/MelBlanc's voice. (Sam also liked to punctuate his sentences by firing off one or more of the loaded pistols he kept about his person. In case you've only seen guns on television, they are VERY LOUD when they go off in real life.)
12-->'''[[WesternAnimation/BallotBoxBunny Bugs]]:''' ''(impersonating Theodore Roosevelt)'' I speak softly, but I carry a BIIIG STICK!\
13'''Sam:''' ''OH YEAH?'' WELL, I SPEAK '''LOOOUUUDD!''' AND I CARRY A '''''BIIIIIGGER STICK!''''' AND I USE IT TOO!
14* Creator/TexAvery's [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons MGM short]] ''Rock-a-bye Bear'' has Spike the Bulldog hired as a winter caretaker for a hibernating bear who keeps demanding quiet in the [[HypocriticalHumor loudest voice imaginable]].
15-->'''Joe Bear:''' ''SHADUP! QUIET! I HATE NOISE! I SAY I CAN'T! STAND! '''NOOOOISE!'''''
16* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'': Dr. Ivo Robotnik is an expert of this trope.
17** And Scratch takes after him. Kinda justified because he's a robot chicken.
18* Tommy in ''[[WesternAnimation/KaBlam The Off-Beats]]'' shorts on Nickelodeon [[RunningGag had a tendency to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HGMP20WtP0 suddenly shout loudly]] [[VocalDissonance in a man's voice]] when exasperated or frustrated, with the words literally flying out of his mouth, startling the others and himself. Occasionally, other characters have been shown to have this ability as well.
19* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
20** [[spoiler:Ruby]] spends most of her screen-time [[HotBlooded screaming]] her head off.
21** Mr. Smiley's normal speaking voice is quite loud as well.
22** Amethyst can be quiet when she wants to, however she also has a habit of SuddenlyShouting.
23** Peridot tends to lose her ability to speak normally when she's particularly stressed or excited.
24** Heck, Steven was quite prone to shouting a lot in earlier episodes of the show.
25* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
26** Ollie combines this trope with BeigeProse to get the point across...
27--->'''Tom:''' And now we go to Ollie Williams with the Blaccuweather Forecast. Ollie?\
28'''Ollie:''' ''IS' GON' RAIN!''\
29'''Tom:''' Thank you, Ollie.
30** And of course...
31--->'''Tom:''' In local news, we have more on the approach of Hurricane Rupaul as it makes his or her way up the coast. Let's go live to Ollie Williams with the Blaccuweather report. Ollie?\
32'''Ollie:''' ''IS' RAININ' SIDEWAYS!''\
33'''Tom:''' Sounds rough, Ollie. Do you have an umbrella?\
34'''Ollie:''' ''HAD ONE!''\
35'''Tom:''' Where is it?\
36'''Ollie:''' ''INSIDE OUT, TWO MILES AWAY!''\
37'''Tom:''' Is there anything we can do for you?\
38'''Ollie:''' ''BRING ME SOME SOUP!''\
39'''Tom:''' What kind?\
40'''Ollie:''' ''CHUNKY!''\
41'''Tom:''' All right, we'll get on that.
42** From the opening of "Lois Kills Stewie":
43--->'''Tom Tucker:''' And now, here's Ollie with a recap of the last episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. Ollie?\
44'''Ollie:''' ''STEWIE KILLED LOIS!''\
45'''Tom:''' Then what?\
46'''Ollie:''' ''PETER GOT BLAMED!''\
47'''Tom:''' Then what?\
48'''Ollie:''' ''PETER WENT TO COURT!''\
49'''Tom:''' Then what?\
50'''Ollie:''' ''LOIS CAME BACK!''\
51'''Tom:''' How?\
52'''Ollie:''' ''WASN'T REALLY DEAD!''\
53'''Tom:''' Thanks Ollie, and now part two!
54** After Tom's son is arrested for possession of drugs:
55--->'''Tom:''' The student was sentenced to 200 hours' community service and is a ''very bad boy.'' We now go to Ollie Williams for the Punishment Forecast. Ollie?\
56'''Ollie:''' ''HE GON' GET IT!''
57** When marijuana is legalized in Quahog and the entire population is perpetually stoned, he finally speaks in a normal indoor voice.
58--->'''Tom:''' How's the weather, Ollie?\
59'''Ollie:''' Not too bad.
60** And then there's ''[[DomesticAbuser Jeff]]''. The ''[[KnightOfCerebus closest]]'' he ever comes to being PlayedForLaughs is that he's always screaming even when he has no reason to be angry.
61** Also, [[HandicappedBadass Joe Swanson]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQQf6x7uY3c isn't necessarily the quietest person in Quahog, either.]]
62* Binky the Clown from ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''. ''"HEEEEEEY KIDS!"''
63** This became a series of segments called "Screaming with Binky", where Binky disturbs someone who is doing an activity that requires concentration, like building a sand castle or making pizza, [[NoFourthWall or animating the show.]]
64* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
65** Lampshaded in "Fat Man and Little Boy" where Homer is mad about Bart becoming his financial dependent and is yelling. Marge tells him to use his indoor voice, and he replies "''I DON'T HAVE AN INSIDE VOICE!''"
66** Lampshaded again in the first part of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?": everyone is complaining increasingly loudly about how [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Burns]] is ruining their lives, to the point where Marge screams, "HE'S CAUSING US ALL TO YELL!" Maggie, being TheVoiceless, just sucks her pacifier harder than usual.
67** Yet another lampshade from "Bart the Mother" brings Milhouse into the act, after Lisa tries to cover for Bart being at Nelson's.
68---> '''Homer, shouting through the kitchen window:''' ''MIL-HOUUUUUSE!''\
69'''Milhouse, from a distance:''' WHAAAAT?!\
70'''Homer:''' TELL BART TO COME HOME!\
71'''Milhouse:''' I THINK HE'S AT NELSON'S!\
72'''Homer:''' WHO'S NELSON?!
73* ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' is known for talking rather loudly most of the time. Then again, she does spend a lot of time outdoors. It suits the show's attempt to imitate pre-school CD-Rom games.
74* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
75** [[WorldOfHam Everyone in Bikini Bottom is a major offender when it comes to volume]], especially the title character.
76** Lampshaded in "Band Geeks". Squidward mentions that "Being loud makes you sound smart" in response to the mediocre quality of the band he is in (which Plankton backs up by shouting ''"CORRECT!"''). Squidward then goes on to suggest that if the band plays really, ''really'' loudly, people will think they're good. Of course, it backfires....
77* ''WesternAnimation/YoohooAndFriends''
78** Chewoo who yells at the top of her voice when there's danger and the others are trying not to be seen.
79* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''
80** [[LargeHam Doctor Byron Orpheus]] constantly shouts over a blaring, overly dramatic soundtrack.
81--->'''Orpheus:''' Do not be too hasty in entering that [bath]room, I had '''TACO BELL for lunch!'''
82** Also, the Grand Galactic Inquisitor shouts everything over its built-in loudspeaker, then shouts, "IGNORE ME!" if someone responds.
83* ''The Man Who Yelled'', from the Mo Willems short film of the same name.
84* The Red Guy from ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' randomly turns this on and off. The rest of the characters lack inside voices altogether.
85* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBFMKpqtNi0 Behold!]] '''Mighty''' Thor '''rejects''' the notion of an '''Indoor Voice!''' Surprising that he doesn't burst Jane's eardrums when they embrace:
86-->'''Thor:''' ''TILL THE UNIVERSE CRUMBLES'', '''MY HEART IS EVER [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9u4ZPMqGyv8#t=968s THINE!]]'''
87* The cast of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' can be easily divided between those who do have an indoor voice (Mac, Herriman, Wilt) and those who don't (Bloo, Cheese, Eduardo, Coco).
88* One could say Dil, of ''WesternAnimation/StickinAround'' has No Indoor Voice, if his voice wasn't ridiculously loud for being Outdoors as well.
89-->'''Dil:'''HOLY MACKEREL!
90* Dr. Weird on ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''. GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD!!
91** From the same series, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future. Generally accompanying one of his meandering stories.
92* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' episode "Fair Enough", Quinn's role in a school play causes her little worry until Sandi comments on the "unusual inflections" in the way Quinn says her lines. This gets under Quinn's skin. A later resultant line is spoken with emphasis on ''every'' word: "I ''will'' make a ''dainty'' gar''land'' for my ''head'' and ''sing!'' Laa, la la LAH!..."
93* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw''
94** Phil Ken Sebben is a more than a little guilty. ''"I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED BUT I'VE GOT JUST THE'' '''''[[EyepatchOfPower ONE EYE!]]"'''''
95** Shado the Brain Thief takes this trope to its logical conclusion. Not only does he have no indoor voice, he has no indoor ''thoughts''. Literally every thought he thinks is broadcast into the minds of everyone nearby at a deafening volume. A custodian takes a broom to a nearby PA speaker in an attempt to silence the noise.
96* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', this applies to a lot of characters, including Timmy, Cosmo, Vicky, Crocker, Princess Mandie, and Chloe. Justified by Cosmo in one episode on the basis that "shouting helps you remember things".
97-->'''Cosmo:''' BLUE IS A COLOR!
98* The title character from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' shouts almost every sentence.
99** And that's just his regular speaking voice. When the [[LargeHam ham]] turns on, he gets ''louder''.
100** Apparently, this forced Zim's actor, Richard Horvitz, to work alternative days, as he'd be hoarse at the end of each recording session.
101* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}''
102** Nathan Explosion speaks with a death metal growl all the time.
103** And Dr. Rockso the Rock n' Roll clown yells constantly, too. [[http://video.adultswim.com/metalocalypse/rockzo-on-top-of-the-world.html Though there's a reason for that.]] He likes to remind everyone (and squirrels) that HE DOES COCAINE! A LOT OF COCAINE!
104*** He occasionally says it in creepy whispers. IN BETWEEN LOUD YELLS.
105* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''
106** Professor Dementor
107** Dr. Drakken fits this trope at times.
108** Don't forget Mr. Barkin, who, like Joe from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', is also voiced by Creator/PatrickWarburton.
109* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest''. It seems with every passing season, the characters yell more frequently. Sometimes, the screen even shakes and the ground rumbles when they yell.
110* Truffles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. One episode was the primary focus for her voice, when she changes it to a quieter one after her old one scares customers away.
111* Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz (particularly the latter) from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
112* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Eddy]] and [[FieryRedhead Sarah]] from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. Rolf sometimes also falls into this.
113* [[DumbBlonde Dee Dee]] from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''.
114* ''WesternAnimation/TheBrakShow'' has [[SuperRobot Thundercleese]], who pretty much shouts all the time, as well as Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:
115-->'''Mom:''' Well, Rhonda, I think the table is quite squared away--\
116'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' I AM RHONDA, OF THE SEVENTH LEVEL OF YAR!\
117'''Mom:''' Yes, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment you've mentioned that quite a few times.]] Is there anything I can do to help in the kitchen?\
118'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' NO! THE FOOD HAS BEEN ARRANGED!\
119'''Mom:''' Well then, I suppose we should join the boys in--\
120'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' THE DAY OF JUDGMENT IS AT HAND!\
121'''Mom:''' Um, alright, if you say so--\
122'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' YOU WILL BE JUDGED! SO SAYETH THE SCRIBES OF YAR!\
123'''Mom:''' You know Rhonda, I'm not even sure if I know where "Yar" is.\
124'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' YOU'LL FIND OUT... WHEN YOUR SOUL IS BELCHED FORTH AND DEVOURED UPON THE SHORE OF THE RIVER OF HEADS!\
125'''Mom:''' Oh dear.\
126'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' THE RIVER OF HEADS IS IN YAR! THIS I CAN ASSURE YOU! AH HA HA HA HA HA!
127** Brak himself has no indoor voice. "HI, MY NAME IS BRAK!!"
128* ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}''. One example from an episode where Duckman was being visited by [[ItMakesSenseInContext representations of himself from possible futures]]:
129-->'''Alternate Duckman:''' I'M NOT FROM ANY PARTICULAR TIME...I'M SPEAKS-UNNATURALLY-LOUD-DUCKMAN!! WHERE I COME FROM, EVERYONE TALKS LIKE THIS!!
130* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Two recurring characters, both voiced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche.
131** News anchor Morbo, of course. MORBO MOCKS YOUR PUNY TROPES PAGE! IT WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE UPCOMING INVASION! Now Linda with entertainment.
132** There is Lrr, RULER OF OMICRON-PERSEI EIGHT!
133* From ''WesternAnimation/TheDoverBoys'', we have Dan Backslide ([[InsistentTerminology coward-bully-cad-and-thief]]).
134-->'''Dan Backslide:''' [[IncomingHam CONFOUND]] [[LargeHam THOSE DOVER BOYS!]] OH, HOW I HATE THEM! I hate TOM! I hate DICK! And I hate LARRY! THEY DRIVE ME TO [[INeedAFreakingDrink DRINK!!!]]\
135''A runabout!'' I'll '''[[SuddenlyShouting STEAL IT]]!''' '''''[[WithCatlikeTread NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW]]!!!!'''''
136* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
137** Princess Luna, as part of an outdated royal protocol, speaks in a deep booming voice meant to "impress". It doesn't exactly go over well with the citizens of Ponyville. It ''really'' doesn't help that it's the same way she spoke when she was [[EvilCounterpart Nightmare Moon]]. Spelling out this Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice in all-caps is referred to as [[CapsLock Canterlock]].
138--->'''Luna:''' But this is the traditional royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak using the RoyalWe, and to use '''''THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS.'''''
139** Bulk Biceps, a [[TestosteronePoisoning comically-muscular]] pegasus pony from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E22HurricaneFluttershy Hurricane Fluttershy]]", seems to talk like this. His initial appearances were limited to a trademark "[[BigYes YEAH!!!]]", while his appearance in Rainbow Falls has other ponies occasionally asking him to tone it down:
140--->'''Bulk Biceps:''' ''"P" IS FOR RAINBOW DASH!'' \
141'''Fluttershy:''' ''[whispering]'' Um, "Rainbow Dash" actually starts with an "R". \
142'''Bulk Biceps:''' ''NEVER MIND!''
143* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'', Temutai has this habit which matches his LargeAndInCharge presence.
144* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Lemongrab seems to have a problem with this. He's almost always shouting or talking extremely loudly. Whether he's aware of this is unclear, as his voice is naturally high-pitched and shrill, and he's almost always angry. "IF ANYONE NEEDS ME I'LL BE TAKING A NAP!!!"
145* Benson from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''. He actually deafens [[spoiler:Mordecai and Rigby]] one time.
146* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''
147** The "Fruity Fables" short depicts God as this.
148--->'''God:''' '''BARRY! YOU MUST CONTINUE TEACHING SEX EDUCATION.'''\
149'''Barry:''' But God, Arthur says Sex Ed is evil!\
150'''God:''' '''ARTHUR CAN EAT MY ASS.'''
151** The Spartans in the ''Film/ThreeHundred'' spoof:
152--->'''Spartan:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS IS DECAF]]!\
153'''Spartan:''' [[Series/TwoAndAHalfMen THIS ISN'T FUNNY]]!\
154'''Spartan:''' THIS IS MARTHA!\
155'''Spartan:''' THIS IS SCRUMPTIOUS!
156* ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'': Dan seems to have a need to shout whenever given a chance to.
157* Coach Buzzcut on ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'', as he is a former U.S. Marine drill sergeant.
158* Iago in ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''. Unsurprising, as he's voiced by Gilbert Gottfried, who does the same thing in his stand-up shtick.
159%%* Lawson on ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''
160%%* Principal Pixiefrog from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.
161%%* Sumo from ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}''.
162* Manly Dan from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' only delivers his dialogue in the form of a manly yell.
163** Also, [[LarynxDissonance Grenda.]]
164--->'''Grenda:''' ''[shouting]'' [[WithCatlikeTread WE'RE MASTERS OF STEALTH!]]
165** [[EldritchAbomination Bill Cipher]] almost always speaks in a high-pitch, shrieking voice which makes him sound like an evil [[Podcast/RiffTrax Disembaudio]], a holdover from when he was planned to be voiced by Creator/DavidLynch.
166* LEMME TELL YA' SOMETHIN', TV TROPES!! IF YOU DON'T PUT RATH FROM ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} BEN 10]]'' 1 MORE TIME, [[ThirdPersonPerson RATH]] WILL BEAT YOU UP FOR SURE!!
167* Brattus from ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'' often speaks like this, due to the fact that he speaks with a gravelly-sounding voice, courtesy of his [[CrossDressingVoices voice actress]], Russi Taylor.
168* While it may simply be the ''tone'' of his voice, rather than volume, [[TheStarscream Starscream]] from Transformers (at least his earlier incarnations) fit this pretty well, due to his near-constant screeching tone. ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/starscream addressed this]].
169* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''
170** "HI, I'M MISTER MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!!!"
171** "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT. I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU GOT". Then again it's probably hard to speak softly when you're the size of a moon.
172* In the AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'', Nora is the loudest of the students. She can even be heard singing loudly in the earlier episodes.
173* Owan the Oil Rig from ''WesternAnimation/TheodoreTugboat'' is both very loud and easily excited. However, since he is way too big to fit inside inside a building (being that he himself is a building), there's no way he can be indoors, so his loudness is justified.
174* The foreman elf in the Creator/RankinBass ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' special sounds almost like ''WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam''.
175* The ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' episode "Moose In Love" in which Sean the boy Moose had a crush on always shouted whenever he spoke, it turns out this is because his mother is deaf in one ear and he has to talk loudly for her to hear him.
176* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Jack himself.
177* The husband in ''WesternAnimation/HotStuff'' is prone to this. He yells whenever his wife is calling him a pet name or he's being disturbed during his television program.
178* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/VivaPinata'' has Montague Mousemallow, the royal announcer of King Roario. Whenever he shouts, it sends Paulie Pretztail flying.
179* [[TinyTyrannicalGirl Marcia Marsupial Mouse]] is this on ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'', befitting her bossy and aggressive nature.
180* Daisy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Oswald}}'' has a tendency to shout. Oswald has to tell her to lower her voice.
181* ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' has Grampy Rabbit, who has a very loud voice courtesy of Creator/BrianBlessed. In fact, one can make the assumption that the staff created Grampy Rabbit specifically as an excuse to have Blessed on their show.
182* Angelica from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' tends to yell more than not, usually to get something she wants. In [[WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie the first movie]], her loud singing is what caused Didi to go into labor a week early.
183* A few of the characters from ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' are voiced by Pamela Segall Adlon (not counting the coolest kids - Tylor, Taylor, Trevor) tend to shout, particularly from Teddy Naven.
184* ''WebAnimation/TooLoud'': The duo protagonists Jeffrey and Sara have incredibly loud voices. According to Sara, the reason she and Jeffery have such loud voices is that having really big heads made their mouths and throats big as well, causing their voices to be louder than anyone else's.
185* Loud Howard from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' is an AscendedExtra compared to his role in the comic, probably thanks to a particularly hammy vocal performance by Jim Wise. One episode [[JustifiedTrope explains it]] by showing that his house is near an airport ''and'' a railway track.
186* Ladybird from ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', being a LargeHam, is very shouty, ''especially'' in the UK dub.
187--> '''''STOP!'''''
188* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'': Carmen's pet hamster, Honey, does not speak below a fairly loud shouting voice.
