History VerbalTic / WesternAnimation

* Pinky from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' had quite a few of these phrases, including "Narf", "Zort", "Poit", and after an episode involving mirrors, "Troz" (Pinky holds a piece of paper that reads "ZORT" on it up to the mirror to come up with that one, and it sticks). Some episodes give him a different word to say ("Fjord!" "[[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Hark]]!" "[[FilmNoir Natch]]!" "Glarb!" "Merp!") Brain is not entirely immune either, as he frequently adds an over-emphatic "[[OrsonWelles Yes!]]" after his sentences, for no particular reason.

* The versions of ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' and ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'' seen in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' affix the prefix "Mega-" and the suffix "-icus", respectively, to half the words that come out of their mouths. Game Boy is even worse, as {{Seanbaby}} points out in an issue of EGM-Not only does he make electronic beeps and blorts completely at random, he does it because he likes to-he moves his digital lips to accompany.
* Megatron from ''{{Transformers}}: WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' had a habit of finishing sentences with a drawn out ''yeessss'', or occasionally, ''nnooo''. (Not of the BigNo variety, a very smooth one.) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GANJGlKn3xY Watch here.]] This is because Megatron's AchillesHeel happens to be [[LargeHam his overblown sense of drama]], ''yeeessssssss...''
** [[TransformersGenerationOne Shrapnel]] repeats the last word of his sentences, sentences.

** After being given his name, Wreck-Gar of ''[[TransformersAnimated Animated]]'' begins every sentence that pertains to himself with "I am Wreck-Gar!" The original Wreck-Gar, along with all the other Junkions, spoke almost exclusively in TV catch-phrases. As they put it "We talk TV!" This stems from the Junkions learning to speak by watching old television broadcasts from Earth.

* While on the topic of Transformers lets remind ourselves of all of the Transformers Animated Examples! Although most of them are a little more "Talks complete gibberish" than "Verbal Tic" But it still happens!

* Beast Boy in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' tends to randomly add [[TotallyRadical Dude]] to his sentences.

* In ''GravedaleHigh'', Frankentyke has one, man!

* ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' has Daisy the Cow, who has a tendency to quietly say "moo" at the end of his sentences.

** Cartman and Butters think that all Chinese people begin sentences with [[AsianSpeakeeEngrish "Forgive-a-ness, prease!" and "Excuse, prease!"]]

* One episode of ''TheTick'' featured a tribe of [[{{Mayincatec}} pseudo-Aztecs]] who said "-itlan" at the end of each sentence. (They were actually an abandoned soccer team who got their knowledge of Aztec culture from a badly written pulp novel.) They were doing it on purpose, to sound more Aztec. When Carmelita asked what all the "itlan" nonsense is, the team captain calls out to the rest of them, "I declare that we shall all stop saying itlan, itlan!"

* Ned Flanders from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' peppers ran-diddly-andom words with odd sounds like "diddly" and "doodly". This trait appears to run in his extended family. When Ned finally has a nervous breakdown, the sentence devolves into "-diddly-doodly-" until he's dragged away. It comes to light that this tic is an ineffective release valve for Ned's repressed negative emotions, as a result of being spanked from a hyperactive child into a model citizen. Notably, when he breaks down after the town completely fails to rebuild his house (among other things--long story), he lashes out at them ("Aw hell diddley-ding-dong '''crap!''' Can't you morons do anything right?) and the tic disappears for a while.
** At one point it's revealed that Ned even ''writes'' the "diddly" part of his speech.
** In the episode "E-I-E-I- (Annoyed Grunt)" there's a Southern colonel who adds "I say" into the middle of every other sentence, for example "Sir, I say Sir, it's time for our duel!" This is based on FoghornLeghorn.

** Marge's disapproving "Hmmm..." and Homer's annoyed/despairing "Ohhhh...!" might count as well.

* Kevin French from ''MissionHill'' has a tendency to say "bling, blong" whenever he's nervous or trying to concentrate on something.

** The Director. And all his wacky henchmen with the "HOY-yal!" and "Freunleven!" This is because [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The Director]] is a parody of JerryLewis.

* Ducky, from ''TheLandBeforeTime,'' ends most sentences with either "yep, yep, yep" or "nope, nope, nope."

* Phil Ken Sebben from ''HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' punctuates every other phrase with a "Ha-HA!" followed by a double entendre or non sequitur .

* Motor Ed from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' seriously can't talk two sentences, seriously, without using the word seriously, seriously. Seriously, it's lampshaded every time when someone seriously mimics his seriously expression.
** How do the villains find each other? In Drakken's and Motor Ed's case, they're related:
-->'''Kim:''' Seriously?\\

** Dememtor has a habit of speaking '''AS THOUGH CAPSLOCK IS ZE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!!!''' He also has ze German style of speech, yes.
* The hick wolf from the TexAvery cartoon ''Billy Boy'' repeated the last word of his sentences three times.
* Butt-Head of ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Beavis and Butt-Head]]'' begins many of his sentences with "Uhhh?", while Beavis laughs before he talks.

* A sentient galaxy in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' that may or may not be {{God}} has a habit of ending sentences with "my good chum."

* Mr. [=DeMartino=] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' fame, who was even more high-strung than Principal [=McVicker=] on ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Beavis and Butt-Head]]'', would [=EMphasize=] certain WORDS when chastising or complaining about anything or anyone, complete with his left eye bulging in a terrifying fashion.

* Whenever DonaldDuck realizes something he'll shout "Quack!" as an exclamation, instead of humming or grumbling he'll quack instead, and when he's really mad he'll go into a series of furious quacks.

* Skeeter of ''{{Doug}}'' makes a honking noise occasionally. It's revealed in one episode that he doesn't even realize he's doing it.

* As mentioned...I say, as mentioned before, Foghorn Leghorn is prone to doing this...prone, that is (one short lampshades this with a sleeping Foghorn going "(snore), I say...(snore), that is...). This was borrowed from Senator Claghorn, a character on Fred Allen's hugely popular radio show. Foghorn [[OlderThanTheyThink predated the debut of Claghorn]] by a few months, but once Claghorn became popular, [[http://www.cartoonresearch.com/foghorn.html the Warner staff turned Foghorn]] into a very blatant {{Expy}} of Claghorn. [[WeirdAlEffect And eclipsed him, eventually.]]
** Also from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' is DaffyDuck who, when irritated, ends almost every sentence with an aggressive "''bub!''", and BugsBunny who seems to believe everyone he talks to has a Doctorate...

* ''TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' has Doctor Barber... Hmmm?... Yes?

* CoolMcCool had a verbal tic of constantly saying things in {{spoonerism}}s.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', we not only have Dexter overly pronouncing his la-BOR-atory every time (among the rest of his inexplicable accent), but in his introductory episode his ArchNemesis Mandark has a strange, staccato laugh. "HA, HA HA! HA, HAHA, HA HA!" In Mandark's later DayInTheLimelight episode we find out he not only laughs like this ''every time'', but everything from laughing to crying to brushing his teeth to ''chewing his food'' is done with the same rhythm. It's also apparently inherited, since when his mother taps her foot impatiently, yes, it's tap, tap-tap, tap tap-tap tap-tap.

* The Satanic leader from ''MoralOrel'' likes to say "And what not" at every end of the sentence and what not.
----

** [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael "Jefferson"]] randomly inserted "Hee-hee!", "Ohhh!", and "Ditabederjah!" into his sentences.

* The versions of ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' and ''KidIcarus'' seen in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' affix the prefix "Mega-" and the suffix "-icus", respectively, to half the words that come out of their mouths.

* Klunk's verbal tic on ''DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'' was speaking in weird noises. Zilly would translate.

** Zapp Brannigan has a habit of elongating the last syllable of a sentence. BillyWest says he does this to imitate radio announcers who love the sound of their own voice.

* Mr. [=DeMartino=] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' fame, who was even more high-strung than Principal [=McVicker=] on ''{{Beavis and Butt-Head}}'', would [=EMphasize=] certain WORDS when chastising or complaining about anything or anyone, COMPLETE with his left eye bulging in a NightmareFuel fashion.

* Like, wow. I'm surprised no one mentioned [[ScoobyDoo Shaggy]]. ZOINKS!.

* WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake is berry famous for "berry talk", most frequently substituting the word "berry" for "very". In the 1980s animated specials, her nemesis the Purple Pieman is berry annoyed by this, to the point that she can use the tic as a threat. He can never resist a little scat-singing-and-dancing every time he introduces himself or someone else recognizes him. Also from the '80s specials is Angel Cake in "Pets on Parade": Begging your pardon, she's unfailingly polite to the point that she works the phrases "begging your pardon", "please", and/or "thank you" into her speeches at every opportunity, thank you please.

* StrawberryShortcake is berry famous for "berry talk", most frequently substituting the word "berry" for "very".
