History Main / CastFullOfCrazy

* Where do we start with ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}''? Rocky was manic and reckless from the start, and his head injury in volume 2 has only exacerbated his mental instability. Freckle succumbs to murderous rage in dangerous situations. Mordecai is a sociopath who is devoid of warmth, empathy, or mercy. Serafine is another sociopath with a sadistic streak, and if she truly believes in Maitre Carrefour, is living in a fantasy world. Her brother Nico isn't much better. Wick is an insomniac who works too hard, drinks too much, and is haunted by [[ItMakesSenseInContext the ghost of a dead duck]].

** It's uncertain what happened to Wally Franks, but in a Twitter AMA, it's been implied that his mind is "waaaay outta here".

* ''Manga/Area88''. In the manga, Shin is clearly depressed over his involuntary servitude [[spoiler: and later exhibits symptoms of PTSD after his release, which he soothes with alcohol]]. Mickey has untreated PTSD, which he veils with a [[StepfordSmiler friendly exterior]]. Sela is ''not'' coping with her father's death in a healthy manner. Hoover is wracked with survivor's guilt. Saki [[spoiler: has a death wish]]. Abdael becomes a drug addict to cope with the events of the story. Kanzaki is a sociopath who has never truly processed the trauma of his mother's suicide. Ryoko has an unhealthy obsession with Shin, which leads her to make irresponsible decisions.

** Joey Drew himself seems to be the first (or among the first) to lose his mind - in an old recording, Wally complains about Joey's attempts to "appease the gods" and then comments that he thinks he's lost his mind. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, it's shown that Joey has changed his way over the past 30 years and is no longer the crazy, power-hungry, and money-grubbing BadBoss he was when running the studio, even asking Henry for help ''in person'' to destroy the Ink Demon (AKA a failed attempt at creating Bendy).]]

** Susie Campbell began identifying with Alice to the point she called herself an "angel".
** Norman Polk ended up [[spoiler: sticking a projector on his head and turning into an ink monster.]]

* You could probably count the number of perfectly sane ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters in one hand, and even those are easily prone to SanitySlippage now and again.

* ''{{Bird}}'' features this as an aspect of the setting. Due to it taking place in Alchemilla Memorial Asylum- a sanitarium for parahumans - and over a third of the characters being patients there, the trope is justified. Also zig-zagged in the sense that not all of the patients are actually insane, Alchemilla is used to contain parahumans that cannot use their powers freely, or who have no control of their powers.

* The party of ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'' is made up of a BloodKnight sociopath, a {{Yandere}}, a woman who eats babies, a pedophile, and a six-year-old boy who killed his own sister. Also, the MessianicArchetype they're trying to save has incestuous feelings for her brother. A LetsPlay[=er=] [[http://lparchive.org/Drakengard/Update%2037/ explains]]:
-->Welp. It looks like nobody in this game is making it to the end without some deep irredeemable aspect to their character. Before you say there's still Seere, no. The kid is fucked up too. We've just yet to see it.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Heavy speaks to his sandwich, the Medic has a love of mad science, the Demoman is a drunken workaholic, the Soldier is a delusional warmonger [[MilesGloriosus who insists he's the greatest despite having been rejected from every branch of the military]], the Sniper has a bit of cold sociopathy to him [[{{Squick}} (and fights with a jar of his own pee)]], the Spy [[NotSoAboveItAll acts like he's classy but childlishly mocks his opponents]], the Scout shows [[ItsAllAboutMe extreme narcissism and bragging from kills]], and the Pyro... [[PyroManiac dear]] [[ObliviouslyEvil god]], [[FantasticDrug the Pyro]]. The closest member of the team to sane is the Engineer, who's friendly but still shows some signs of sociopathy and paranoia beneath his kindly demeanor.

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' is definitely one of the [[TropeCodifier Trope Codifiers]]. ''Every single named character'' is messed up in one or more ways. Some are [[BrokenBird broken]], but most are [[AxCrazy just freakin' nuts]]. Of course, this being 1920s New York, the characters are perfectly suited for the Mafia. The award for most insane would probably go to [[CrazyAwesome Ladd Russo]]. Everyone else who decides to shoot up the Flying Pussyfoot has their own reasons for doing so, but he just does it ForTheLulz. It really speaks volumes when even the sanest character in your series is an orphaned, Mafia-raised assassin who [[spoiler:killed a man at the age of 18 and ''felt good'' doing it]].

* ''WebOriginal/FilthyFrank'': The OnlySaneMan [[NauseaFuel commits all sorts of disgusting acts]], kills baby animals and [[OccidentalOtaku weeaboos]] for fun, and once locked a man in isolation because...[[DisproportionateRetribution he asked him to check out his mixtape]]. Despite this, he's the ''good'' guy.

** TheGhost (at least through Chapter 4), Joey Drew himself, seems to be the first (or among the first) to lose his mind - in an old recording, Wally complains about Joey's attempts to "appease the gods" and then comments that he thinks he's lost his mind.

* ''VideoGame/DieAnstalt'' is an AdventureGame whose main characters are patients in the eponymous asylum, each suffering from a different trauma or disorder.

* Another example from Creator/BioWare; the player parties in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' can certainly fall here, especially on the Imperial side. The Agent's party (probably the weirdest of the lot) has a bomb-throwing anarchist, a diplomat who [[GoingNative went native]] with an insect species, a brilliant operative-scientist who [[ProfessorGuineaPig experimented on himself]] [[PlagueZombie with rakghoul DNA]], and can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transform into one]], a human who was raised among the Chiss (because she's a low-level Force Sensitive and would have been killed by the Sith otherwise), and a sociopath gynoid who openly dislikes organics and was built by a race of {{Precursors}}.

* ''FanFic/FantasyOfUtterRidiculousness'': Between Marisa's kleptomania and desire to ride Megas, the chronically ill and traumatized Patchouli chucking Gensokyo's primary incident resolver at said mech, and Coop and Jamie's near-total obliviousness towards the damage they're causing to Gensokyo just by being themselves, this is Reisen's opinion of the entire situation during the Extra Stage.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''
-->'''''[[OnlySaneMan Twilight Sparkle]]''': "Everypony in this town is crazy!" ''

[[folder:Fanfic]]

* ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}: Other than [[TheWatson Ryouta Suzui]], who seems to be the one sane person at school, the entire cast is filled with lunatics who bet hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even the freedom of themselves and others, on cards, roulette, and even ''children's games'' that have even lower odds of actual success under normal circumstances. Other than Suzui, the rest of the cast also break into contorted {{Nightmare Face}}s when gambling, with TheProtagonist, Yumeko Jabami, being ''the worst''.

* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': It has an insane JigsawPuzzlePlot that follows MoralityKitchenSink and has a DysfunctionJunction as a cast. It's also based on ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. There's [[StepfordSmiler Oz,]] [[CrazyJealousGuy Gilbert,]] [[spoiler: [[DrivenToSuicide Alice,]]]] [[spoiler: [[SerialKiller Break,]]]] [[PsychoticManChild Vincent,]] [[spoiler: [[DeathSeeker Leo,]]]] and [[BrokenBird Echo.]] By the way, those are only a few of the main characters.
