1	'''Basic Trope''': A character (usually a big strong guy) speaks using short, simple sentences to show that they're dumb.
2	* '''Straight''': Hubert, TheBigGuy, speaks using a very simple dialect.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Hubert speaks using monosyllabic grunts - and that's when he's feeling particularly talkative.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Hubert [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue speaks another language well]], but [[TerseTalker prefers to keep things short in English for simplicity's sake]].
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** He spent a lot of time developing his body, not his brain.
7	** Hubert is a FunnyAnimal.
8	* '''Inverted''': A big, huge guy is [[GeniusBruiser also a very eloquent scholar]].
9	* '''Subverted''':
10	** "What? You expected me to speak like a simpleton, didn't you?"
11	** Hubert is a FunnyAnimal, and is actually quite eloquent in his own language, just not in human language.
12	* '''Double Subverted''': "...uh, that only thing Hubert know how to say."
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** The guy who speaks in HulkSpeak is also a published novelist in his own words.
15	** Hubert is fluent in multiple languages, none of which have use for articles or personal pronouns.
16	** "HUBERT THINK PICASSO BLUE PERIOD MOST GENIUS PERIOD! HUBERT THINK MAKE INSIGHTFUL COMMENT ON CONDITION OF MAN!"
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': "You expected me to speak like a buffoon, didn't you? ...Well... uh... that only sentence Hubert know how to say good. ...Fooled you, didn't I?"
18	* '''Averted''': He's by no means eloquent, but he understands basic sentence structure.
19	* '''Enforced''': "I'm tired of writing dialogue for all these different characters. Isn't there some sort of shortcut I can use?"
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "This is Hubert. He doesn't talk too much."
21	* '''Invoked''':
22	** The same thing that gave him his power also drained a lot of his intellect, leaving him unable to form all but the simplest sentences.
23	** [[ObfuscatingStupidity Hubert talks like the hulk to trick his enemies into using locks that, while beyond his ability to break, are too easy for his real intellect to pick]].
24	* '''Exploited''': ???
25	* '''Defied''': He ensures that he trains his brain as well as his body.
26	* '''Discussed''': "I just had the best conversation with Hubert." "...Really?"
27	* '''Conversed''': "...Yup, the big guy can only speak in short, simple sentences."
28	* '''Deconstructed''': The HulkSpeak is indicative of his lack of intelligence. When his muscular body is no more use, he's completely useless to the team.
29	* '''Reconstructed''': However, he finds some other way to cope.
