History VerbalTic / WesternAnimation

** Lemme tell you somethin' about dang ol' Boomhauer, man, just kinda mumblin' with a dang ol' accent that's just...consumin' his sentences like a dadgum dang ol' cancerous growth, man, just runnin' on and on, talkin' at a million miles an hour, like ''zoooom!'' Right out the dang ol' door like a bat outta hell, man....can barely understand what he's sayin' sometimes, man.[[labelnote:Translation]]Boomhauer has a rather peculiar style of speaking, comprising of a unique, rambling and half-muttered southern dialect with MotorMouth tendencies, causing him to give his dialogue in a jumbled, half-coherent run-on sentence peppered with "dadgum" "dang ol'" and "man". This tends to him [[TheUnintelligible somewhat difficult to understand]], though Hank, Dale, and Bill seem to have little trouble translating his commentary.[[/labelnote]]

** "Morty, I, Rick Sanchez, have two ma''*urp*''jor tics, Morty: Repeating your name throughout my dialogue Morty, and bel''*urp*''ching in the middle of sentences."

* Katnappé from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is chock-full of {{pun}}s of a feline nature. She proceeds to use them ''all the time.''

** Hank tends to add the phrase "I tell you what" before or after almost every sentence.

** Boomhauer has an incredible array of verbal tics which have a tendency to consume his sentences like some horrifying cancerous growth. Combine this with [[MotorMouth the speed at which he speaks]], and it can make his comments [[TheUnintelligible very difficult to dang-ol' understand, man]].

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

-->'''Yes Guy:''' Eeeh-yeeesss?\\

* Probably not the UrExample, but still older than most or all other examples in this section are WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs who like to replace random words in their sentences with "{{Smurf|ing}}"

* Julian in ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' giggles after most of his sentences (and sometimes mid-sentence too), usually covering his mouth with his hand.

** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, who, when irritated, ends almost every sentence with an aggressive "''bub!''", and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, who seems to believe everyone he talks to has a doctorate...

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', a...one...time...char...ac...ter...named...Ro...cket...speaks...in...a...way...that's...meant...to...remind...
the...viewers...that...he's...a...sloth.[[note]]This changes after he gets zapped with Dr. Robotnik's broken "slow mo" ray.[[/note]]

* Ducky, from ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime,'' ends most sentences with either "yep, yep, yep" or "nope, nope, nope."
** In fact, [[TearJerker the voice actress's tombstone has "Yep yep yep" on it]].

* Does Tyrone from ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' fit the bill? He ''certainly'' does.

** The band's manager, while worlds more eloquent than they will ever be, still can't seem to go a sentence without pausing at least once.

** 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...), and will occasionally end his longer speeches with an AsideGlance and some sort of analogous criticism. (Nice guy, but about as long-winded as a Python eatin' chili!) 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. [[ParodyDisplacement And eclipsed him, eventually.]]

[[ParodyDisplacement And eclipsed him, eventually.]]

** A CutawayGag has Quagmire's Spanish son using "giggity giggity" in everyday speech, so it appears to be genetic.

* Fred Fredburger in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. Yes! Along with Irwin, [[TotallyRadical yo]].
** It seems to be a family trait for the people on Irwin's dad's side of the family, as Dick (Irwin's father) often uses the word "Dude" while Tanya (Dick's mother and Irwin's paternal grandmother) says "baby" a lot, mostly when referring to her loved ones. There have actually been conversations between Irwin and his dad consisting entirely (or mostly) of "Dude" and "Yo."

* Katnappé from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is chock-full of {{pun}}s of a feline nature. She proceeds to use them ''all the time.''
* 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 "[[Creator/OrsonWelles Yes!]]" after his sentences, for no particular reason.
** There's also Bobby Bob Boffo the stupid man who works at the White House, he'll often say "Did" in the middle of his sentences and "Diddy" at the end of them.

* Megatron from ''Franchise/{{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.) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GANJGlKn3xY Watch here.]] This is because Megatron's AchillesHeel happens to be [[LargeHam his overblown sense of drama]], ''yeeessssssss...''
** Wazzzpinator [[ThirdPersonPerson speak strange]]! Annoys reader-bot!
** [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Shrapnel]] repeats the last word of his sentences, sentences.
** Mixmaster did something similar on ''one'' occasion, and can NeverLiveItDown. It's a pretty characterful tic, you gotta admit; he repeats the first syllable of the last word/noun of a sentence, i.e. "auto-auto-auto-bots!", AND it sort of fits his name. It's a shame he didn't stick with it.
** ''Armada'' Tidal Wave has a penchant for beginning or ending (sometimes both) sentences with his own name. He's also a {{Hulk Speak}}er, and the fandom can never quite decide if he's that stupid, or if it's just some kind of speech impediment. In the original Japanese, Tidal Wave (called Shockwave) kept that tic when he upgraded to Mirage (called Shockfleet). He ended all his sentences with "Shock!". However, in the American dub Mirage didn't have the tic.
** After being given his name, Wreck-Gar of ''[[WesternAnimation/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.
---> '''Wreck-Gar''': Yes friends, act now, destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!
** "[[HulkSpeak Me Grimlock!]]"
** Even in the ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'' Universe, I, Grimlock, who is gifted with remarkable intelligence and a delightfully wry sense of humor, still speak with certain linguistic idiosyncrasies. Mustn't complain too much, wot?
*** Nyeah! ''Shattered Glass'' Nightbeat talks like an exaggerated version of Edward G. Robinson, see?
** In the [[GagDub Japanese dub]] of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', this was used to [[FillingTheSilence fill up every moment when no one was speaking]], and several when someone ''was''. For example, Silverbolt ended every sentence with ''desu'', even though in the original, he's either in mid-conversation or silently brooding. We know he's a LargeHam, but come on.
*** Also in the Japanese-dub, Quickstrike had ''two'' of these - he'd end sentences with "gicchon" (Japanese for "snippety!"), and the cobra head on his tail would end with "ko", "bura", or "kobura" (verging on PokemonSpeak). And then there was Cheetor, who'd make a growling noise.
*** Scorponok often made the sound "ora" for no apparent reason, while Waspinator would end his sentences with a "buuun" sound (which I'm assuming is the Japanese onomatopoeia for buzzing).
** Warpath from the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers original cartoon]] had it so bad - it was rare to hear him go more than four or five words without a ''pow'' or ''zowie.''
** Mention of Omega Supreme: Not found. Problem: easily corrected.
** Soundwave: Superior. Omega Supreme: Inferior.
** In the Marvel comic, Runamuck tended to give a short laugh at the end of each sentence, heh-heh.
*** Naturally, this led to MemeticMutation among the fans that he and his [[HeterosexualLifePartners buddy Runabout]] were the Decepticon versions of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''.
** In the IDW comics, Getaway *BOMP* had a fairly noticeable one.
** [[MotorMouth Blurrspeakssuperfast]]!
** [[RhymesOnADime Wheelie]] seems to rhyme his sentences all the time!
** Beast Wars Inferno thought he was an actual ant. As such, the base is called the colony, Megatron is the Queen, the other Predacons are drones, and those who threaten the colony shall BUUUUUUUURN! FOR THE ROYALTY!
---> '''Megatron:''' Inferno, aid Quickstrike.
---> '''Inferno:''' Yes, my Queen.
---> '''Dinobot:''' I was not aware you had given yourself a new title.
---> '''Megatron:''' [''quickly''] The ant has faulty programming, but his loyalty is without question.
** While on the topic of Transformers, let's remind ourselves of all of the ''Transformers Animated'' examples! Although most of them are a little more "Talks complete gibberish" than "Verbal Tic", it still happens!
*** In the Japanese version of the series, Lugnut feels the need to say "ttsu" in every sentence.
*** Speaking of Lugnut, his fanatic loyalty makes for some interesting lines, especially if he is saying anything in regards to his grand and ''GLORIOUS'' leader.
---> "STASIS LOCK ITSELF COULD NOT DETER ME FROM YOUR GRAND AND ''GLORIOUS'' PLAN, OH WISE AND NOBLE MEGATRON!"
*** Me Grimlock talk just like G1.
*** Wazzzzpinator also takes voice from source material. Still annoys reader-bot!
*** [[MotorMouth Blurrhasatendencytotalksofastpeoplecanbarelyunderstandhimjustlikeintheoriginalcartoon]]! (He is voiced by the fastest talking person ever, John Moschitta Jr.)
*** Jazz speaks in beatnik slang, you dig?
*** Jetstorm & Jetfire speak insanely broken {{Engrish}}. Although it does sound more like a "second language" deal when coupled with the Russian accents.
*** Blitzwing has three different faces, each with its own unique voice, which isn't a Verbal Tic. Switching between them at a moment's notice, occasionally mid-sentence? That's more like it.
*** The Starscream clones embody aspects of Starscream's personality. Ramjet is NOT a compulsive liar, and even if he were, he would NOT turn that into a verbal tic! What? He is? He does? I never said that he didn't!
*** Perceptor has a "Stephen Hawking"-esque voice (it's actually the same software being used to create his lines.). [[AllThereInTheManual The [=AllSpark=] Almanac]] says it's because he deleted his emotions and personality to make room for more knowledge in his brain, though in the show he's more of a TinMan.
*** Warpath (Bam, Pow) talks really weird like he has tourettes and causes him to mutter Onomatopoetic words related to StuffBlowingUp. Less so than G1, at least in the show.
*** Listen up, ya mooks! Yous palookas are gonna join Dirt Boss' crew, and you're gonna like it!
*** LOL Da [=H34DM4S73R=] is L33t wit hs 1nt3rn37 sl4n9
*** Slo-Mo likes to use a synonym for anything.
*** Yon Angry Archer has a preferably dry wit outmatched by his silver tongue.
** And then the post-series comics made for certain events add more, with new characters and sometimes fleshing out the background 'bots:
*** Now YOOOOU listen up, AUTOBOTS. The MOTORRRRRRRRR MASTERRRR talks just like RANDYYYYYYYYYYYY SAAAAAAAAVAAAGE!!!
*** Beachcomber, like totally talks like a surfer dude, ya dig?
*** Subject: Dug Base! Speech Quirk: Obvious! This makes him sound more like G1 Soundwave than even ''Animated'' Soundwave did, as ''Animated'' Soundwave speaks in the same pretty vocoded monotone but is able to give full sentences.
*** [[RhymesOnADime Wheelie]] has nothing wrong with his voice, for this fate he shall rejoice! His rhyming speech sounds foreign to none-- it's the very same way that he spoke in G1!
*** Pipes and-a Huffer always talk-a like Italian stereotypes. They've basically been reimagined as Autobot Mario and Luigi.
*** Carrera is a nutcase. There. He talks like a sports announcer all the time. But, weirdly enough, Bumper thinks this will lower his chances of being a sports announcer. SarcasmMode much?
*** Glyph can't help but recite phrases mì languages lahe ayswirä.
*** Cyclonus likes to swoop in like a vast predatory bird and close a sentence with a Furmanism. Can he do less? Also, he likes to give a short, sharp lesson to any Autobots and place them them a world of pain and he cannot, will not die screaming. He knows the end is near but he never did want to live forever. Well, his section's over now, so time he wasn't here! (For those who are confused, Simon Furman, noted ''Transformers'' comic writer tends to use these types of sentences in his comics.)
*** Toxitron no am talk like Bizarro from ''Superman'' comics.
** Fixit, of ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Robots in Disguise]]'', might want to see a speech theremin. Therapod. '''Therapist!'''
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''
** Beast Boy tends to randomly add [[TotallyRadical Dude]] to his sentences.
** Starfire was also prone to this, yes? She also does not talk in contractions. Her ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' counterpart has the tendency to add "the" in the most of the sentences.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh'', Frankentyke has one, man!
* Fred Fredburger in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. Yes! Along with Irwin, [[TotallyRadical yo]].
** It seems to be a family trait for the people on Irwin's dad's side of the family, as Dick (Irwin's father) often uses the word "Dude" while Tanya (Dick's mother and Irwin's paternal grandmother) says "baby" a lot, mostly when referring to her loved ones. There have actually been conversations between Irwin and his dad consisting entirely (or mostly) of "Dude" and "Yo."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' has Daisy the Cow, who has a tendency to quietly say "moo" at the end of his sentences.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' uses verbal tics as a large part of its characterization and humor:
** Mr. Mackey, mmmkay? In one episode, he's speaking Spanish, and ends his sentences with "mmmbien"?
** Jimmy has a habit of saying "very much" at the end of sentences, very much.
** Timmy's PokemonSpeak of "TIMMEH!"
** Mr. Slave has "Jesus Christ!"
** Cartman says "seriously" both in the correct usage ("Seriously, you guys!"), and also where anyone else would normally say "serious" ("I'm being seriously!").
** Chef always uses the word "children" even when he's referring to a single child.
** Magician and cult leader David Blaine tends to end sentences with "twaaa."
** Their parody of MickeyMouse ended all of his sentences with his signature "huh-HUH!" laugh. [[BlackComedy This is kind of disturbing when he's kicking a Jonas Brother until he bleeds.]]
** In an early-season episode, the plane'arium director / baddie hypnotist fibs that he has a medical condition that prevents him from pronouncing the "T" in plane'arium. He was hoping to one day get a bone-marrow transplant (he pronounced that fine).
** [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael "Jefferson"]] randomly inserts "Hee-hee!", "Ohhh!", "Chamone!", and "Ditabederjah!" into his sentences. He also constantly calls things "ignorant" when he's unhappy.
** The "vampire" leader in the episode "The Ungroundable" frequently ends his sentences with "per se," per se.
** The bikers in "The F Word" tend to randomly make motorcycle revving noises.
** The pimps in "Butters' Bottom Bitch" end most statements with, "You know what I'm sayin'?" Butters interprets it literally and keeps assuring them that he can understand what they're saying. He adopts the habit as well, asking literally, "Do you know what I am saying?"
** Cartman and Butters think that all Chinese people begin sentences with [[AsianSpeekeeEngrish "Forgive-a-ness, prease!" and "Excuse, prease!"]]
** Darryl Weathers and his crew of hicks are famous for their angry shout of "THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!" which, the more they say it, degenerates into gibberish: "DEY TERK ER JERBS!" "DURKUR DURR!"
** Tweek Tweak has small screams and exclamations like "Oh Jesus!" randomly scattered through his dialogue.

* Chuck White from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', ha-HA!
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'', the titular character gets stuck in "Rock Bottom," where everyone interjects "thbbbbbt" noises randomly into their sentences, and can't understand the "accent" of anyone who doesn't do the same.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats''
** Snarf often ends his sentences [[PokemonSpeak with his own name]]. Snarfer did it with his name as well. (And as far as we know that is his name. Most uncreative parents ever.)
** Slythe was also fond of adding "yessss?" to the end of his sentences.
*** This is because his true tic was {{Sssssnaketalk}}. Apparently ViewersAreMorons and won't realize it if he can't do it with every line ever, so if there aren't any enough sibiliants to drag out, he'll have a non-sequitur "yessss" thrown in for him to do it with, yesssss?
** The Berzerkers would repeat the last word or phrase of a sentence a couple of times (a couple of times! a couple of times!)
** Ben Gali tended to growl. It was half Narm, half sexy.
** Chilla had to use ice puns as often as possible.
** Captain Cracker made an "eeeeeee" sound during his dialogue.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'': Flonominal ends nearly every sentence with "Naw mean?". In an episode where Riley and Granddad watch too much BET, they can't stop interspersing and ending their sentences with "Y'feel me?" and "dog". And of course there is Riley overuse of the [[NWordPrivileges N-word]], regardless of wether is interlocutor is black or not, as if it was a kind of punctuation.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/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!"
** The Sewer Urchin definitely says definitely, definitely!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Ned Flanders peppers ran-diddly-andom words with odd sounds like "diddly" and "doodly". It runs in his extended family, and Ned even ''writes'' the "diddly" part of his speech. In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E8HurricaneNeddy Hurricane Neddy]]", his {{Angrish}} turns to a jumble of "-diddly doodly-" until he lashes out at the town ("Aw hell diddly-ding-dong '''crap!''' Can't you morons do anything right?) and the tic disappears for a while. It's revealed to be an ineffective outlet for his repressed anger after being spanked as a child.
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin That guy who goes Eeeh-yeeesss]] (based on comedic actor Frank Nelson).
-->'''Yes Guy:''' Eeeh-yeeesss?\\
'''Homer:''' Do you have a table for the mayor?\\
'''Yes Guy:''' Eeeh-yeeeeesss!\\
'''Homer:''' Why do you talk that way?\\
'''Yes Guy:''' Ny-I had a stroooke!
** 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 Senator Claghorn from Fred Allen's hugely popular radio show, whom then served as the inspiration for WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn.
** Er, ah, Mayor, er, ah, Quimby. Whose accent and speech patterns were based on the late Senator Ted Kennedy.
** Marge's disapproving "Hrrmmm..." and Homer's annoyed/despairing "Ohhhh...!"
** Professor GLAYVEN-MAYVEN Frink. Oh, for Glayven out loud! With a heaping helping of OhGodWithTheVerbing. It's all a parody of Creator/JerryLewis in ''Film/{{The Nutty Professor|1963}}''.
** Reverend-uh Lovejoy-uh voices the last consonant of each phrase-uh, mimicking the typical charismatic Deep South preacher--in particular Billy Graham-uh. Praise the Lord-uh!
* Kevin French from ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' has a tendency to say "bling, blong" whenever he's nervous or trying to concentrate on something.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''
** The Director. And all his wacky henchmen with the "HOY-yal!" and "Freunleven!" This is because [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The Director]] is a parody of Creator/JerryLewis.
** Yakko tends to draw out the word "I" when it begins a sentence to emphasize discomfort or, well, to just sound a little more sarcastic, leading to, "Yaaaaaaaaahhhhh I don't think so," or variations thereof. If the sentence doesn't start with "I" he'll just take on a long "Ahhhh" at the beginning. This was actually improvised by his [[Creator/RobPaulsen voice actor]] during the audition process.
*** Once spoofed when he was having more trouble than usual thinking up a quip, and drew out the "Ahhhh" so long it started to sound like he was choking.
** Wakko had "Faboo!"
** Runt definitely, definitely, definitely says "definitely" a lot.
** Sort of {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the Macarena parody, "Macadamia Nut," which ends each verse with a different character's VerbalTic.

* Phil Ken Sebben from ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' punctuates every other phrase with a "Ha-HA!" followed by a double entendre or non sequitur .
** Likewise, whenever Vulturo speaks, he always goes into ''[[TheUnintelligible hmmooong bleeeaauu tgnnyaaaa]]''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Sam ends every statement with "yeah." One time he even did it in song.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''
** Motor Ed 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?\\
'''Drakken/Ed''': Seriously.
** Dementor has a habit of speaking '''AS THOUGH CAPSLOCK IS ZE CRUISE CONTROL FOR ZE COOL!!!!!''' He also has ze German style of speech, yes.
* The hick wolf from the Creator/TexAvery cartoon ''Billy Boy'' repeated the last word of his sentences several times times times times times.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Beavis and Butt-Head]]''
** Butt-Head begins many of his sentences with "Uhhh?", while Beavis laughs before he talks.
** Both boys tend to laugh when they're not talking.
** And David Van Driessen, like Mr. Mackey in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ends sentences with "mkay".
** Beavis also has a habit of saying "Hey, how's it goin'?" and "Yeah, me too."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''
** A sentient galaxy that may or may not be {{God}} has a habit of ending sentences with "my good chum."
** Morbo the Newsmonster typically begins sentences with variations on "Pathetic humans" and ends them with variants of "[[MemeticMutation I WILL DESTROY YOU!]]"
** Richard Nixon's head peppers his speech with "Aroo".
** SURELY YOU HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT LRRR, RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8?!
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' also featureses Sal, who tends to ends randoms wordses with additional esses, evens if theys alreadys gots 'em.
** Bender rarely says the word "me" without adding "Bender" after it.
** The giant chicken prosecutor has a tendency to say "Ba-kaw!"
** Hubert Farnsworth not only pronounces the H in "wh" words, but pronounces an H in words that don't have it. Since this hypercorrection is fairly consistent, it's not as readily noticeable as when [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Stewie]] does it.
--> '''Farnsworth:''' Whell, let's get started.
** Zapp Brannigan has a habit of elongating the last syllable of a sentence. Creator/BillyWest says he does this to imitate radio announcers who love the sound of their own voice.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}''
** Mr. [=DeMartino=], 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.
** Jake's angry "GAHHHH!", occasionally emphasized with a "DAMMIT!" There's even a song dedicated to it.
** Sandi's disapproving "Gee," followed by uttering the name of whoever she's gee-ing at.
** Brittany's perky cheerleader squeak.
** Tiffannnnyyyyyy the [[AsianAirhead Asiiiiiaaaaaannnn Airhead]] seems to draaaaagggggg her words in monooooootooooone at everrrrryy two or threeeeee sentences.
* Whenever WesternAnimation/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.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''
** Ed sometimes randomly shouts "Buttered Toast!" or "Gravy!", once during an argument between the threesome all Ed was saying was "Buttered Toast!".
** Kevin's "Dorks!". In the beginning, he only said it to the Ed's faces, but after a while he would find it impossible to stand closer than 20 feet from an Ed without muttering "dork!" all the time.
** Double D also had a habit of saying things three times, especially phrases like "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" and "Messy, messy, messy..."
*** There's also his "Intriguing!"
** Eddy frequently makes an irritated groan when bored or annoyed.
* Snagglepuss has a number of verbal tics, catchphrases even, along the lines of "Heavens to Murgatroyd" or "Exit stage left," even.
* Skeeter of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' makes a honking noise occasionally. It's revealed in one episode that he doesn't even realize he's doing it.
* ''WesternAnimation/JacobTwoTwo'' earned his nickname because, as the youngest child in his big family, he's used to saying things twice. Twice!
** Also, resident bully Quigley is known for inhaling sharply and suddenly for no apparent reason.
* Toki and Skwissgar from ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' tends to pluralisings their words unnecessarily, and be havings a bad grasp of English grammars.
** Dildos.
** Pickles sports a number of Wisconsinisms, such as changing "th"s to "t"s, ex: He call Nathan "Natan".
** Dr. Rockzo tends to start random words with "ka-ka-ka". As in "I need your ka-ka-ka help!" or "[[CatchPhrase I do ka-ka-ka COCAINE!"]]
** The band's manager, while worlds more eloquent than they will ever be, still can't seem to go a sentence without pausing at least once.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''

* 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.

"HA, HA HA! HA, HAHA, HA HA!" In Mandark's later [[ADayInTheLimelight day in the limelight]] 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.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3,'' pretty much everyone had a CatchPhrase; however, Thistle Whistle's speech was full of whistling noises, to the point that on a human it would be a clear case of Tourette's. Also, Rainbow Dash is known for pretty much having FIM Rarity's personality, which does include the use of "Darling." However, G3 Dash managed to say it in almost every sentence, and sometimes ''multiple'' times (for example, "That's a darling idea, darling!" or, when the missing Wysteria, Pinkie Pie, and Zipzee turned up again, "It's our darlings, darling!") to the point where you ''can't'' make a DrinkingGame of it because if you take a shot every time she says it you'll be ''dead from alcohol poisoning by minute ten.''
* In the Creator/HannaBarbera tv special "The Adventures Of Robin Hoodnik" Little John (who's an anthropomorphic bear) inserts "Ah" in the beginning or middle of his sentences, and the Sheriff of Nottingham's henchman Oxx begins many of his sentences with "Ooh,Ooh!".
