* In ''VideoGame/{{Messiah}}'', when you possess a pimp, you walk with, well, an exaggerated pimp strut.

** [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Spytaunt05.PNG Spy Crabbing]] - as Spy, take out your disguise kit. Crouch, aim upwards, and walk. You won't be able to see anything, it looks like you're imitating a crab.

* The runner in ''{{QWOP}}'' runs like he has spasms. This is because the player is controlling his leg muscles individually, and likely not very well.

* ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'': Most of the members of the Belmont family in the series walk in a very peculiar way that has since been dubbed the "Belmont walk" or "pimp walk," depending on whom you ask.

* Inspector Cabanela of ''GhostTrick''.

* Alejandro in ''TotalDrama All Stars'' moves by using his hands[[spoiler:, until it's revealed that his legs are healed after all]].

* [[Series/FawltyTowers Basil Fawlty]] evokes part of it when he infamously tries to stop mentioning the war but performs [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0 a goose step in front of some German guests]].

* Alejandro in ''TotalDrama All Stars'' moves by using his hands[[spoiler:, even though his legs have recovered, and is all part of a WoundedGazelleGambit]].

* The protagonist of ''Treasure Master'' doesn't walk so much as [[http://lparchive.org/Treasure-Master/Images/3-dsb081908b.gif exaggeratedly strut everywhere.]]

** Crazy Legs Scout: Crouch-double jumping as Scout would "break" the joints in his legs, causing it to rotate beyond the usual limb rotation. Has since been fixed and given a send-off by Valve.
*** Except it hasn't. It's still possible in game, just less obvious.

* When [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] makes his entrance, he likes to walk with his chest pumped out, swinging his arms back and forth. This is usually referred to as his "power" walk. [[Like so http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7pwdKWm7xHQ/UX1WERYbT4I/AAAAAAAALew/fZPWI_m6Hb4/s1600/vince-mcmahon-walk.gif]].

* When [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] makes his entrance, he likes to walk with his chest pumped out, swinging his arms back and forth. This is usually referred to as his "power" walk.

* Frank West of ''DeadRising'' has a rather unusual gait. Somewhat justified in that he jumped out of a helicopter at the start of the game.

Watch out for this after someone says WalkThisWay. Also recall that one does not SillyWalk [[WalkIntoMordor into Mordor]].

* FrankZappa has a memorable role as a hunchback in "The Boy Who Left Home to Learn About the Shivers," an episode of ''FaerieTaleTheatre''. His bizarre walk has to be seen to be believed.

** Because of the sketch's extreme popularity among fans, it's been requested of John Cleese so many times by fans that he's reportedly entirely sick of it and has started to politely refuse.

* ''Mickey Blue Eyes'' has a scene where the eponymous protagonist and his MafiaPrincess love interest are running; she collapses in laughter, telling him to "stop doing the funny run" and he's embarrassed to admit that he wasn't doing it for comic effect; that's just how he runs.

->''"Funny walk that kid has."''
-->-- ''[[Wrestling/{{WWE}} Vince [=McMahon=] on Mr. Kennedy]]''

* The Bushwhackers are known for their odd manner of walking: holding their arms at right angles and swinging them up and down with each step. TheIronSheik did a similar (albeit less exaggerated) version.
* When VinceMcMahon makes his entrance, he likes to walk with his chest pumped out, swinging his arms back and forth. This is usually referred to as his "power" walk.
* Santino Marella speed walks to the ring as a parody of the PowerWalk.
