* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** ''VideoGame/MegaManV'': Venus the Stardroid, due to his crab design, cannot walk forward, but he can walk sideways. This forces him to turn about 90 degrees perpendicular to the desired direction in order to walk in the desired direction.

* In one of stand-up routines, Creator/BillCosby talks about how every boy in his neighbourhood had to have their own "cool walk". He demonstrates his and, while the full effect is lost on the recorded version, the audience's reaction gives a good indication of exactly what this looked like.

*** In the Monty Python [[ThatsAllFolks farewell show]], the entire sketch was turned into a dance routine, but lacked John Cleese.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Outrageous character designs are a noticeable part of Creator/EiichiroOda’s style, so silly walk isn’t a rare phenomenon. There are [[HypnoFool Jango]] (moonwalk à la Michael Jackson), [[SlasherSmile Doflamingo]] (who walks like a flamingo), Perona (who seemingly has pigeon toes), Miss Doublefinger (who sways her hips so hard that her legs zigzag in front of one another as she walks) and everyone from Long Leg Tribe.

->''"Funny walk that kid has."''

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'': SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in the DLC has a ''very'' unusual default walk -- MilkingTheGiantCow upstairs, Film/SaturdayNightFever pimp-strut downstairs with more than a hint of [[Film/MaryPoppins Cockney]] / [[Music/{{Oasis}} Madchester]] swagger thrown in. [[LargeHam All part of the plan, of course.]]

* TheTeaser of the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "The Sponge Who Could Fly" pulls a trolling moment on Patchy, passing off an animation in which [=SpongeBob=] walks in very silly ways down a ConspicuousCGI street as a complete new episode, before letting him know and moving on to the episode proper.

* Ed in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' runs with his body bent 90 degrees to the ground. Edd attempts it while imitating him but just falls backwards.
** Each of the characters in the show have their distinct way of moving. In fact, the first teaser for the series consisted of the Edds just walking and running around.

There are [[HypnoFool Jango]] (moonwalk à la Michael Jackson), [[SlasherSmile Doflamingo]] (who walks like [[CaptainObvious a flamingo]]), Perona (who seemingly has pigeon toes), Miss Doublefinger (who sways her hips so hard that her legs zigzag in front of one another as she walks) and everyone from Long Leg Tribe.

* Amy Rose from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' is pigeon-toed, giving her a short stride and bouncy run which make her the slowest-moving of the hedgehogs.

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

* 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. Wrestling/TheIronSheik did a similar (albeit less exaggerated) version.
* 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.
* Wrestling/SantinoMarella speed walks to the ring as a parody of the PowerWalk.
* Kairi Hojo's open handed march away from her opponent (preferably tied up in the corner) after which she returns backwards.

* The guards at the Government Palace in Lima have a rather bizarre walk, as seen during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7BcEwGISi0 changing of the guards.]] Having them march in time to "[[Music/CarminaBurana O Fortuna]]" makes it all the more surreal.
* Tiptoeing is a very silly way to stealthily move (as opposed to a more BoringButPractical crouch walk).

* In ''Series/FawltyTowers'', Basil, played by John Cleese, evokes part of it and calls it "a funny walk" when he infamously tries to stop mentioning the war but performs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0 a goose step in front of some German guests]].
