Line #42 YouNoTakeCandle/WesternAnimation


1	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Never happens in the show's "reality", but in one ImagineSpot Arthur had of himself and Buster as cavemen, they talked like this.
2	-->'''Caveman Arthur''': "Me make spear. Is good?"\
3	'''Caveman Buster''': "Is best spear ever"
4	** And in a dream that Binky has, he's in a nineteenth-century style city where everyone has to speak in rhyme. When he tries to rhyme, he ends up talking like this
5	---> Me Bink'''y'''. Me see..oh, this is too hard.
6	* ''{{WesternAnimation/Avatar the Last Airbender}}'' has The Hippo, who says such things as "[[HulkSpeak Hippo MAD!]]" and [[ThirdPersonPerson The Boulder]], who has spouted such gems as, "[[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry The Boulder feels conflicted about striking a young, blind girl.]]"
7	* ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' had Native Martians (a clear analogue of Native Americans) talk like this. Amy's parents spoke in the same way, leading to a bit of a LampshadeHanging when her dad, Leo, read a note from the Martians.
8	-->'''Leo Wong:''' Me know it them, [[HypocriticalHumor 'cause they no use good grammar.]]
9	** Also in ''Futurama'', there are the Amazonians, a race of giant cavewomen. Also, when the robots rebel against the humans in one episode and all technology is lost, Leela reverts to speaking like this. "Leela bring fire?" "No, we're set for fire, thanks."
10	** Then for one episode, ''everybody'' spoke like this when the brainspawn drain the intelligence of everybody on Earth except Fry.
11	** And then there's Fry, who - being Fry - just does this randomly.
12	--->Bender need brain for smart-making!
13	* The ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' spoof ''Edward the Less'' features a barbarian strongman who speaks in the typical caveman dialect. However, he explains that he ''can'' use articles and personal pronouns, and just finds that they take up too much time in an eloquent speech that is nonetheless completely lacking in articles and personal pronouns.
14	** "Few! Happy few! Band brothers!"
15	* ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' had the Siamese cats [[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fxpN2XrYDLM speaking this way.]]
16	* Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth from ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', being Scandinavian, often add 's'es to words that don't need them (or leaves them offs of words that shoulds have them).
17	--->"Let me explains again, in perfectly clear Englishs, ''I wants flies in on a dragons,'' okay? How many times I got to tells this peoples?"
18	** This, interestingly enough, is perhaps best explained as overcompensating for a difference between the Scandinavian language(s) and English - plural is not indicated by s in Scandinavian.
19	* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' does this with Oog the Caveman. When Frylock's supercomputer spontaneously travels back in time, Oog finds it, and...:
20	** "So there me was beating boulder into powder because me couldn't eat it, and magic ball land in lap. Naturally me think, "All right, free egg." because me stupid and me caveman. So me spent about three days ''humping'' and bust open with thigh bone so me could eat it good, then magic ball shoot Oog with beam, and next thing me know, me go out and invent wheel out of dinosaur brain! Magic dino wheel roll for three short distance until me eat it; the point is, me get smarter. Soon me walk upright, me feather back dirty matted hair into wings for style, and me stop to use bathroom as opposed to me just ''doing it'' as me walk."
21	*** Oog simultaneously subverts this trope by speaking in a very clear, precise manner (save for the occasional outburst).
22	*** "Me bored, BORED! RAAAARGH!! BORED BORED BORED BORED BOOOOORED!!! * smashes shit up* "
23	*** "YOU BUY, MAKE OOG RICH! RIP HEAD OFF, AAAARGH!"
24	** Incidentally, he claims "master English language" on his list of accomplishments.
25	* See the example under Comic Books, but in the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' adaptation, Starfire explains/retcons: her race learns languages through "lip contact," selling the kisses as platonic, or even less. [[strike:Hilarity]] Whiplash ensues.
26	* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': Me Grimlock thinks me should be here too! (The other Dinobots speak the same way. In the comic, though, only Grimlock talks this way. Comic Grimlock, however, is not stupid. DependingOnTheWriter, it's ObfuscatingStupidity or a broken speech processor Grimmy never bothered to fix.)
27	** On a related note with ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' — TANKOR SLAG BEAST BOTS! [[spoiler:Subverted when Rhinox's spark reawakens, giving Tankor a signifigant IQ boost — enough IQ to start plotting the downfall of Megatron and Optimus Primal. To hide what's happened, he still talks like he did before to most people, good guys and bad.]]
28	** Strika and Obsidian do as well [[spoiler: when also pretending to be idiots instead of the master tacticians they actually are]].
29	%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' subverts this with Cave Guy.
30	* The clones of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' Broadway, Brooklyn, Lexington and Hudson speak this way. {{Lampshaded}} when Talon offers to teach them how to use free will "and verbs".
31	* "Me so hungee" and "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
32	** In another episode, where Lisa grows an entire civilization in a dish with a tooth and some soda in it, a spokesman says, "We learned to immitoot you exarctly."
33	** From "Black Widower", when learning that Aunt Selma is still set on marrying Sideshow Bob: "Bart no like. Bad medicine."
34	** From "Burns' Heir", Bart's audition to be Mr. Burns' heir has him read a card Honer wrote stating "I bad want...money now. Me sick", with his father's own response being, "Ooh, he card reads good."
35	* Subverted for laughs in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', where the main cast travels back in time due to a freak accident. They expect this to happen when they are captured by cavemen. Instead, the cavemen speak American English and have academic degrees.
36	* WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'': The titular Robotboy and all of Professor Moshimo's robots naturally speak broken English. Given that he's a FishOutOfWater, it makes Robotboy akin to a Japanese exchange student adjusting to a new nation.
37	* The businessmen from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
38	-->"We love work for you!"
39	* Wulf from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' speaks in very broken Esperanto, though it's unclear if this is because he's an anthropomorphic wolf ghost (ghost wolf?) or simply due to sloppy translation.
40	%%* The Piplings in the UK/Canada kids' show ''WesternAnimation/{{Waybuloo}}''.
41	* The old ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' spoofed this. In a Peabody and Sherman short, an evil man is trying to kill them, so he enlists some natives to do the job. He speaks to them in broken English, making incredible racist assumptions. "You make tiny buffalo and brave go dead. Arrows and tomahawks. Die die." Cue confused looks from the natives, until one figures out what he means, and explains the message to the rest of the tribe with a New Yawk accent. "He wants us ta whack da dog and da kid."
42	* ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'' is often prone to talking this way a lot, along with his ThirdPersonPerson tendencies.
43	* A cutaway gag for ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', after Lois said she wasn't a sideshow act (well, not any more), shows a young Lois bouncing on a trampoline, squealing "Me likey bouncy, me likey bouncy" in a cage.
44	** In "Untitled Griffin Family History", Peter recounts his caveman ancestor who invented the wheel has everyone talk like this.
45	--> '''Caveman!Peter:''' (''giving a sales pitch'') Hi, me Peter. Tired walking everyplace? Need something make you go? Peter wheel make you go. Maybe Joe want try wheel on chair.
46	-->'''Caveman!Joe:''' For last time, Joe no want.\
47	(''later'')\
48	'''Caveman!Stewie:''' (''knocks out Lois with a club'') Damn all! What deuce? Victory Stewie's!
49	** In "Brian Sings and Swings", Stewie and Frank Sinatra, Jr. watch an infomercial with an Asian guy who speaks this way.
50	-->'''Asian Guy''': Herro. How come I rich and you not? How come you not sell real estate like I do. How come I sleep with your wife while you at work? And then I pee in your toilet and don't flush? And sometimes, I open the back part and I pee there so that next time you flush, pee come out? Why? 'Cause I smart. I smart. You stupid. Call now.
51	* The Kindergarteners in ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' talk like this.
52	* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', with the MightyWhitey pastiche Rick Spartan and his sidekick Cachinga. Spartan insists on speaking to Cachinga in pidgin English and generally treating him like an ignorant savage, despite the fact Cachinga is a British Oxford graduate, real name Charles Wheatlesby.
53	* I.R. Baboon from ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'' talks like this to illustrate his idiocy. In "A Troo Storee", other people apparently start speaking the same way when they read I.R.'s book.
54	* Whenever ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' transforms into her alter ego [[DumbMuscle Bad Kaeloo]], she starts talking like this due to the fact that the transformations cause her intellect to drop.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'': In "Smarter Than the Average Dog", Cat starts talking like this when he loses his intelligence.
56	-->'''Dumb!Cat:''' You did this to me, bow-wow person! You made the smart go bye-bye! I want some more smart back! Give me back smarts!
57	* The Yaks from Yakyakistan in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' talk like this, usually using third-person and given names a lot.
58	-->'''Prince Rutherford''': If things not perfect, yaks get mad. Yaks always get mad when things not perfect!
59	* ''WesternAnimation/Hero108'': Jumpy Ghostface is a rabbit who is learning human language, so he speaks in fragmented sentences. In the first few episodes, he can't talk at all. However, most of the animals that learnt the human language from the Parrot King are perfectly fluent.
