History CloudCuckoolander / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', Jan Jansen has a long, rambling, nonsensical story involving either him or one of his many, many relatives for every situation. Some of his lines border on PaintingTheMedium (like talking about how ever since he was a kid, everyone he saw would glow bright red at night, which is how the game depicts Infravision for the player). The only situation he ''doesn't'' have a story for is [[spoiler:when the party is sent to Hell]].

** Sheogorath, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of [[MadGod Madness]], is pretty much obliged to follow this trope.

%%*** Selphie from the same game is arguably worse. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'':
** [[ElegantGothicLolita Agitha]] probably classifies. She's the self-proclaimed Princess of the Bug Kingdom, is seemingly ignorant of the fact that most people have no particular desire to bathe in snail slime, and demands that the Legendary Hero Chosen by the Gods go fetch bugs for her ball. Oddly enough, she's one of the most popular [=NPCs=]. And apparently, she cheerfully chats with wolves, in a world where most people just run. ''While referring to them as puppies.''
** Let's not forget the [[AmericansHateTingle infamous Tingle]]. He's a middle-aged guy who dresses in a [[FanDisservice skintight green outfit]] in order to emulate the "fairy boy" (Link). He's obsessed with Rupees, he flies all over the place using a red balloon, his CatchPhrase is "kooloo-limpah", and he forces his brothers and employees to dress in outfits similar to his. There's a very good reason why he's in a jail cell on Windfall Island in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''.

* Arguably, ''everyone'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' has a tendency to dip into this. SIGINT will actually ask if he's the only normal one around.

** Bomb King is pretty much your stereotypical abusive, dictatorial, power-mad monarch, but wouldn't be out of place as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain in a Saturday morning cartoon. He assumes that everyone else exists only to serve him, shouts a cheerful "Goodbye!" before making an enemy explode, and doesn't pass up any opportunity to mention how superior he is. [[BewareTheSillyOnes None of this makes him any less dangerous in-game.]]

%%*** N comes off as a little loopy before you start to learn who he really is... and after. He has the same justification as Bianca, and [[spoiler:is also clearly abused, having been at the center of the evil plans of his ManipulativeBastard of an adoptive father [[TheManBehindTheMan Ghethis]] since extremely early childhood. Ghethis pretty much manipulated and brainwashed his young mind to fulfill his goals, raising him to be pure and innocent in order to gain the trust of [[OlympusMons Reshiram or Zekrom]], depending on the version of the game.]] (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; loopy in what way?)

* [[MadArtist Rakesh]] from ''VideoGame/{{Roommates}}'' thinks just about ''anything'' can be a good excuse for art... or a good ''place'' for art... or a good ''medium'' or ''tool'' for art. There's absolutely nothing wrong with cutting into the kitchen wall to give it some added life, for example, and covering himself with paint in order to redecorate his bedroom is all in a day's work.

%%*** Luigi's [[EraSpecificPersonality characterization]] in the series is pretty much this, and it gets worse as he goes along. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)

* Pretty much everybody in ''VideoGame/{{Tropico}}'' lives in another planet, but your personal secretary Penúltimo really takes the cake. Worst of all, either [[RightForTheWrongReasons his advice turns out to be right]] or [[TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight it actually works because the entire world is just crazy]].
