History Main / Sssssnaketalk

* A joke in Spanish uses animal sounds as punchlines, including this trope. A cat, a dog, a rooster and a snake travel across a lake on a boat. The cat falls into the water and shouts: "¡Miaugo, miaugo!"[[note]]"Miau" means "Meow"; "Me ahogo" means "I'm drowning".[[/note]] [[{{Jerkass}} The dog]] callously replies: "¡Guauguántese!"[[note]]"Guau" is the Spanish version of "woof"; "Aguántese" means "Deal with it".[[/note]] The rooster panickedly asks: "¿Quiquiriquiaga, quiquiriquiaga?"[[note]]"Quiquiriquí" is the Spanish version of "Cock-a-doodle-doo"; a pun on "¿Qué quieres que haga?" meaning "What do you want me to do?"[[/note]] Finally, [[OnlySaneMan the snake]] urges the others: "¡Ssssáquenlo, ssssáquenlo!"[[note]]"Sáquenlo" means "Pull him/her out!"[[/note]]

* Completely averted in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', with Viper being voiced by the lovely Creator/LucyLiu.

* Sir Pentious in ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHote'' often draws out his sibilants with hisses when he speaks.

* Waspinator in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}: WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' does a variation of this trope, rendering his "s" sounds into buzz-like elongated "z's". Being also prone to HulkSpeak, he buzzes his own name in nearly all of his lines.
-->'''Waspinator''': Wazzzpinator not want to die! Wazzzpinator hazz planzzzz!

* Sir Pentious in “WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel” often draws out his sibilants with hisses when he speaks.

** In another ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' example, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV DS'' has one of the Four Fiends Scarmiglionne using this trope, though he's a bit inconsistent.

* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', this is [[IncrediblyLamePun part and parseltongue]] of speaking to snakes. The snake in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' does this even when [[TranslationConvention translated into English]].

* One of the minor villians, [[IncrediblyLamePun Ssserpent]] on ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''. Justified, as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin he actually is a serpent-like alien.]]

* In ''WebAnimation/{{AlphabetLore}}'', the letters speak by [[PokemonSpeak repeating their own name]]. S says his with a snakelike hiss, and he looks like the animal to match.

* The Rattler on ''WesternAnimation/CoolMcCool'' has this as a verbal tic (being a humanoid snake) with snake hisses dotted in.

%%* The Rattler on ''WesternAnimation/CoolMcCool''.

* ''Franchise/TheDCU'''s snake cult/terrorist organization Kobra requires this as a stage of initiation for all their converts. This is noted in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', when Green Arrow takes Wonder Woman to interrogate [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad Slipknot]], who was suspected of attempting to kill Jean Loring, and who became a Kobra convert in prison. He starts talking like this, and Green Arrow tells him to drop the "fake hiss".

* Creator/MarvelComics has [[FishPeople Manphibian]] as well as ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' villains the Lizard, ComicBook/{{Venom}}, and Stegron.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''[=/=]''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/APonyOutOfPlace'', Flare had to face an Titanoboa to protect Miss Cheerilee, her Class, Spike, and eventually Twilight.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Ekans and Seviper, in PokemonSpeak. Ekans' evolution Arbok also tends to [[TrrrillingRrrs draw out its first syllable]].

* ''Film/TheMask'': "Sssssmokiiiinnnnnn'!"

* Averted and lampshaded in the ''Fanfic/UndocumentedFeatures'' story ''Twilight'' ([[Literature/{{Twilight}} no relation]]), where Jormungand's speech is "perfectly atypical for the world's largest snake to have", because it doesn't use sssnaketalk.

* Defied by George and Martha, the two snakes on [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hermes' caduceus]], in ''Film/PercyJacksonSeaOfMonsters''. George speaks with a normal American accent and insists that this trope is racist.

* In ''WebOriginal/LoomingGaia'', [[SnakePeople gorgons]] enunciate heavily on “S” and “Z” sounds due to their forked tongues.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/DeathAndTheFamily'', beastly villain Insect Queen talks with a noticeable hiss after possessing Lana Lang's body.
-->'''Insect Queen:''' ''"I'll make you and your family ssssuffer, Sssssupergirl! I'll make your life Hell—"''
* In ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' storyline "ComicBook/ThoseEmeraldEyesAreShining", Ontiir, the -notoriously slippery and treacherous- reptilian Science Police commander for Weber's World talks with a very noticeable hiss.
-->'''Ontiir:''' ''"Most asssuredly ssso, Ssssun Boy."''

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Gollum. "Sssneakinggg, my preccciousss, yesss..."

* The Animax English dub of [[PoisonousPerson Cobra]] in ''Manga/FairyTail'' gives him this sort of voice, but otherwise {{averted}} as the Japanese and Funimation English dub give him a BadassBaritone.

* In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', the [[https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Zora_(character) fish-like Zora]] talks with a strong hiss:

* ''Webcomic/{{Selkie}}'': The titular character adds an "s" to many of her words, but it's not particularly exaggerated most of the time.
