History Cloudcuckoolander / FanWorks

** [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Ness]] has shown minor shades of this, such as apparently once thinking of using Franchise/{{Kirby}} as a gun, or regularly making use of a literal notebook full of ever-changing {{Unusual Euphemism}}s and strange catchphrases. Considering he was written to reflect [[WidgetSeries the series he is from]], this is to be expected. In fact, considering this, he's much more grounded than he ''could'' have been.

* In ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'' we have [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel Rosa]], whose obsession with romance make her quite spacey and naive.

* Major Raikov in ''Fanfic/{{Stray}}'', a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' fanfic, is "always the type who took sanity more as a suggestion," to the extent that Ocelot considers Raikov's PsychoElectro boyfriend to be the stabilizing influence in the relationship.

* The zombie priestess Adelleh from [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120503190121/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5153247/1/Tunnels_The_Tale_of_Tavor_T1 these]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120503190052/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5153268/1/Taken_T2 two]] fanfics is extremely quirky, speaking in [[YouNoTakeCandle broken]] [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker language]], [[ThirdPersonPerson referring to herself in the third person]], saying nonsense things and chasing after butterflies; however, she is much smarter and more powerful than she looks.

''Fanfic/RiseOfTheMinisukas'':

* [[BountyHunter Gahmah Raan]] in ''Fanfic/StarWarsParanormalitiesTrilogy''. Starting with his debut in [[http://gahmahraan.deviantart.com/art/Paranormalities-Episode-I-Chapter-9-Hunters-308997761 Chapter 9]] of Episode I, he just comes off as incredibly eccentric, [[FourthWallObserver is aware of things no one else would be aware of]], and annoys the other bounty hunters on the same contract. However, [[BunnyEarsLawyer he is by no means incompetent]], as by the end of the bounty hunter arc, he had eliminated nearly all of his competition and captured his target, lure Zolph Vaelor over to Maesterus, and match Zolph in a duel that ends in a stalemate. Still doesn't keep him from being fascinated by things like Maesterus's wings and asking if he can keep them. Episode II then revealed that his eccentricity is a result of him being passively driven insane by an EldritchAbomination on his own homeworld as a child, and according to him, [[OnlySaneMan he and his wife are among the only sane members of their species]]. However, while he is genuinely insane, it is suggested that [[ObfuscatingStupidity he sometimes exaggerates it to get potential enemies to underestimate him]].

[[AC: Others]]
* ''Blog/AlwaysHavingJuice'' has the alternate universe version of Metal Sonic, whose mental faculties appear to be malfunctioning. He believes he is "The Real Sonic", and frequently tries to prove it using stripes, the true meaning of Hanukkah, and the letter F. The viewers have caught on to his nuttiness, however, thus resulting in questions such as "what is your favorite flavor of frisbee?" (for the record, it's [[http://alwayshavingjuice.tumblr.com/post/25796788563/i-choose-you Satanic Death Christ]]).
* Nappa of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
-->'''Vegeta:''' Nappa! No! It's a trick!\\
'''Nappa:''' But Vegeta! Trix are for kids...
* ''Fanfic/EnterKenFinlayson'': The titular character is viewed as one by the people of Norrisville due to his belief in the cryptozoological, the extraterrestrial and the supernatural but he really isn't. Still, many in-story believe him to be.
* Marty [=McSuperfly=] in [=CaptainGarlic=]'s LetsPlay of ''[[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/IWD2/ Icewind Dale 2]]''. Watch out for him when he gets near the wisdom-enhancing items, or goes by the mushroom fields in the Underdark.
* Oddly enough for a war story, Private Lenham Remer in ''Fanfic/TheLegacyOfTheBloodRavens'' is a perfect example. When he's not kicking ass with his squad, he can be found musing about subjects like [[EverythingsWorseWithBears Space Bears]], and if Space Marines can ride them.
* ''Fanfic/MegaManRecut'' has Dust Man and Metal Man.
* Eric the Hedgehog from ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'' embodies this trope. He's an IdiotSavant TalkativeLoon who loves breaking the fourth wall and talks to his weapons like they have personalities. Deconstructed later on - not only is it revealed that he's physically brain-damaged [[spoiler: due to imperfections in Maledict's cloning process]], but he's fully aware that his thoughts aren't entirely normal and has hidden crippling depression as a result.
* Major Raikov in ''Fanfic/{{Stray}}'', a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' fanfic, is "always the type who took sanity more as a suggestion," to the extent that Ocelot considers Raikov's PsychoElectro boyfriend to be the stabilizing influence in the relationship.
* Demykins from ''Fanfic/ThoseLackingSpines'', a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic, behaves in this manner, with a multitude of his lines as {{shoutout}}s to other media; when he doesn't quote from various works, he ignores the situation altogether.
** Which is also the common fanfiction depiction of regular old Demyx.
* ''WebAnimation/TouhouM1GrandPrix'' has several {{boke|AndTsukkomiRoutine}} that do this, to contrast with the {{straight man}}.
* Viole from the "Webcomic/TowerofGod" fanfic ''Dei Fabula''; About to get burned by flames that can melt rods of steel in milliseconds? Ice-cream daydreaming time!
** Not to mention that prior to that, his method of getting rid of a parasite that was mind-controlling the neighbourhood's friendly firebreathing Damsel in Distress was to french kiss her as opposed to simply sticking his fingers down her throat like his canonical counterpart did.
* Momoko from ''WebVideo/WeddingPeachAbridged'':
-->'''Jamma-P:''' HEY, I DIDN'T WRITE THIS SCRIPT SO DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME!!!!!\\
'''Yuri:''' Wow, someone needs a nap.\\
'''Momoko:''' Is it me?\\
'''Yuri:''' No. No, it's not Momoko.
* The main character from ''[[http://percyjacksonfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Whispers_in_the_Dark Whispers in the Dark]]'', a ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' fanfiction [[SpinOffspring about the daughter of Thalia and Luke]].
* ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'': [[Anime/{{Naruto}} The Oogakari family]]. ''Dear sweet Jesus'', the Oogakari family. They are possibly the nuttiest characters in the whole fic.
* Tristan from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' is a combination of a [=Cloudcuckoolander=] and a [[TheDitz ditz]]. Almost every line that he gives is an illogical non-sequitur, such as his randomly given cry of "BurnTheWitch!" and "Take off your clothes!"
** The sad thing is, these two examples are him being ''coherent'' in the context of the scene.
** More extreme examples of his [=Cloudcuckoolandiness=] include "I like pudding!" and "I farted, it's funny!"

* The Tightrope Girl's ''Fanfic/HauntedMansionAndTheHatboxGhost'' incarnation is completely cloudcuckoolanderish.
* ''Fanfic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'':
** Itachi. The title isn't just for show, but while Itachi is a bit ''off'', he's far from the worst example.
** Most of Konoha is filled with crazy people, to the point that Kankuro starts asking Baki what sort of messed up place he sent his team to.
** Itachi's Iwa rival Deidara is even more off his rocker than he is -- he just focuses all his crazy on explosions, to the point that all thoughts of defecting from his village die once he see his mentor, Onoki, the Tsuchikage, blow stuff up in a spectacular manner using his Dust Release.
* In the ''Fanfic/MotionPractice'' series, which recasts various Marvel superheroes as lawyers, [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Wade Wilson]] is a legal aid lawyer with no brain->mouth filter and no dress sense.
* ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': Izzy just as crazy as back on Total Drama.
