History Main / SillyWalk

-->'''Dr. Evil:''' I would like to assure you that no one else from my gene pool has a run that effeminate.

* Alejandro in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaAllStars'' moves by using his hands[[spoiler:, until it's revealed that his legs are healed after all, although he still does that in order to keep Heather's guard down and to avoid letting his fellow villians see him as a threat in order to vote him off as part of a WoundedGazelleGambit up until Nobody Egg-spects the Spanish Opposition]].

** During ''Rage For Revenge'', [=McCarthy=] gets suicidally stoned and wanders into a Chtorran nest where he has a weird dream in which Ted (a male former LoveInterest who joined the Telepathy Corp) helps him back to his helicopter where he'll be safe. When [=McCarthy=] looks at the camera footage the next day to find out what happened, all he sees is himself doing a SillyWalk [[spoiler:like [[MarionetteMotion someone else is controlling his body]]. [=McCarthy=] just puts this down to the drugs and doesn't consider the possibility that he's been secretly implanted by the Telepathy Corp.]]

* ''Literature/TheWarAgainstTheChtorr''. Captain [=McCarthy=] is saddled with [[TheNeidermeyer Major Bellus]] who accidentally walks near a grove of shambler trees: {{Man Eating Plant}}s hosting [[TheSwarm an entire ecology of carnivorous symbiotes that swarm]] when they sense the vibrations of nearby prey. [=McCarthy=] points out that these vibrations are relayed by the creeper vines lying all around them, and the only way ''not'' to trigger them is to walk out of range at five meters per hour. Cue a SillyWalk that (as [=McCarthy=] enjoys pointing out to Bellus) is being relayed via cameras to an extensive internet audience hoping they'll die in an interesting and horrible fashion. [[spoiler:Eventually Bellus breaks down under the strain and begs for his life, so to conclude this HumiliationConga [=McCarthy=] walks out normally, saying they weren't in any danger as the shambler grove was uninhabited. This stunt destroys Bellus career; unfortunately it also earns [=McCarthy=] the ire of his superiors who try to get rid of him with an UriahGambit.]]

* Amy Rose from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' is pigeon-toed, giving her a short stride and a bouncy run.

* In VideoGame/TeamFortress2, crouching interacts with the standard animation cycle in strange ways, resulting in very silly walks. To wit:

* Zoidberg from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Justified in that he's basically a crab with an octopus for a face.

* As part of the deep character customization in the ''SaintsRow'' games, you can choose your walking style, and some of them are really out there. All running and jumping looks roughly the same.

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

* ''PitagoraSuicchi'': [[http://www.metacafe.com/watch/253567/the_algorithm_march/ The Algorithm March.]]

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain'' 25th aniversary ReunionShow, which portrayed the post-''Python'' Creator/JohnCleese as obsessed with silly walks, and constantly attempting to work them into his film roles. ("In ''Film/{{Silverado}}'' they wouldn't even let me hop! The part of the sheriff was crying out for it, but they wouldn't even let the horse do it!") He agrees to rejoin the Prune gang on condition he is allowed to use "the comedy legs", only for this to prove terrible radio.

* ''BamanPiderman'': The title characters walks like a baby taking its first steps. That said, they rarely even do anything that can be ''called'' walking.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ-gfalEWI0 This version]] of the "Monarch of the Sea" sequence from Theatre/HMSPinafore has Sir Joseph think he's a [[JurassicPark velociraptor]].

** Because of the sketch's extreme popularity among fans, it's been requested of John Cleese so many times that he's reportedly entirely sick of it and has started to politely refuse. In an episode of the miniseries ''The Human Face'' talking about fame, he has an IndulgentFantasySegue of ''shooting'' a fan who requests it.

* ''StupidMarioBrothers'': Mr. Redhead in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNEisPScKgQ this]] episode.

* Alejandro in ''TotalDrama All Stars'' moves by using his hands[[spoiler:, until it's revealed that his legs are healed after all, although he still does that in order to keep Heather's guard down and to avoid letting his fellow villians see him as a threat in order to vote him off as part of a WoundedGazelleGambit up until Nobody Egg-spects the Spanish Opposition]].

* Edward from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' seems incapable of walking normally, she will get around by either dancing, sauntering, rolling, crawling, or anything else.

* ''WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts'': Goofy had a distinctive walk in the 1930s, with his knees bending backward and his feet swiveling nearly all the way around. It carried over into ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. It's particularly noticeable in the Timeless River.

* ''Series/LazyTown'''s Robbie Rotten's trademark walk involves flailing his arms and swaying his hips far harder than any person should deem necessary.

* ''ClassicDisneyShorts'': Goofy had a distinctive walk in the 1930s, with his knees bending backward and his feet swiveling nearly all the way around. It carried over into ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. It's particularly noticeable in the Timeless River.

* The ColdOpen of the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "The Sponge Who Could Fly" pulls a shameless BigLippedAlligatorMoment in which [=SpongeBob=] walks in very silly ways down a ConspicuousCGI street.

* ''ClassicDisneyShorts'': Goofy had a distinctive walk in the 1930s, with his knees bending backward and his feet swiveling nearly all the way around. It carried over into ''KingdomHearts''. It's particularly noticeable in the Timeless River.

** Similarly, in InjusticeGodsAmongUs while most characters either charge, jump attack or fly into a clash, the Joker instead does an exaggerated stride with a crowbar in hand.
