| 25 | A character who speaks if not constantly then often so quickly that it's hard to make out individual words and with the appearance of not having to stop for breath which sometimes makes it sound as though the audio track has been set to Fast Forward while the sentence diagram looks like a Mandelbrot fractal, this is often a facet of the GenkiGirl or TheDitz who seems to be able to redirect the oxygen destined for their brain to their mouth whereas if smart characters do this they often fall victim to SesquipedalianLoquaciousness usually this counts as the specific subtrope GibberingGenius and it is also a trait of a character who is panicking upset afraid angry worked up or excited and launches into rapid-fire babble because of their emotional state although in a few cases characters who do this anyway end up going into a weird state and start doing it even more [[SelfDemonstratingArticle BECAUSEOFTHESTATEMENTIONEDABOVEORMAYBEJUST]]-- '''[[BigShutUp SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!]]''' |

| 29 | In [[AdvertisingTropes advertisements]] this is RattlingOffLegal and in music it becomes a PatterSong and can lead to SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein while for the absurd comic book examples where this is explicitly ''not'' addressed see TalkingIsAFreeAction. Characters may do this during a CharacterFilibuster or when HoldingTheFloor to prevent others interrupting. If your Motor Mouth character tends to talk [[SlicesDicesAndMakesJulienneFries like they're in]] [[OfferVoidInNebraska an infomercial]] (and they're not actually selling anything), then they probably SpeaksInShoutOuts as well. In comics, WallOfText and WallOfBlather are common. Might be said to an AnnoyinglyRepetitiveChild. |

| 45 | * In the area of commercials, the definitive Motor Mouth is no doubt actor Creator/JohnMoschitta, best known for his [=FedEx=] and Micro Machines commercials. He is ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Moschitta according to Wikipedia]]) listed in ''The Guinness Book of World Records'' as the world's fastest speaker. Kids might remember him for the ''VideoGame/MicroMachines'' ads, but those who remember their childhood TV shows more clearly than the commercials may remember him as Blurr from the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' (listed below). In fact, he voiced ''both'' versions of Blurr. He's even worked with ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' [[http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Micro_Machine_Man%27s_Life in a parody of his own Micro Machines ads]] where he laments his failed marriage and describes his decided method of suicide... [[SoundtrackDissonance while Micro Machines cars drive about in playsets.]] |
| 46 | ** The dvd commentary for that ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' episode shows that he talks like that normally. |
| 47 | ** Mr. Testaverde, the downright sadistic history teacher on ''Series/SavedByTheBell''. |
| 48 | ** Tropers of a certain age may even remember his [=FedEx=], er, [[https://youtu.be/NeK5ZjtpO-M Federal Express ad]] (1981). |
| 49 | ** Moschitta claims he developed this skill from growing up with five sisters, as the only way he could ever get a word in. |
| 50 | ** He ''did'', however, talk normally as the announcer during the final season of ''[[Series/TheHollywoodSquares H2: Hollywood Squares]]'' and the short-lived [[Creator/IonTelevision PAX TV]] game ''Balderdash''. |
| 51 | * [=McDonald's=] have incorporated motormouth tendencies into several advertisements over the years. |
| 52 | ** [[https://youtu.be/en4muUSIRT4 "Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun!"]] And thus, in under five seconds, are enumerated the ingredients in the chain's signature Big Mac. |
| 53 | ** The ingredients in a Big Mac not enough for you? How about the ''entire menu'', rattled off in under thirty seconds in a mid-1980s TV spot. "[=BigMacMcDLT-aQuarterPounderwithsomecheese-Filet'OFish-ahamburger-acheeseburger-aHappyMeal-McNuggets-tastygoldenfrenchfries-regularorlargersize-andsalads-cheforgardenorachickensaladoriental-BigBigBreakfast-EggMcMuffinhothotcakes-andsausagemaybebiscuits-baconeggandcheeseasausage-danish-hashbrowns-too-andfordessert-hotapplepies-andsundaes-threevarieties-asoftservecone-threekindsofshakes-andchocolateychipcookies-andtodrinkaCocaCola-DietCokeand-orangedrink-aSpriteandcoffee-decaftoo-alowfatmilk-alsoanorangejuice-IloveMcDonald's-goodtimegreattaste-andIgetthisallatoneplace=]!" Fun fact: this was initially a promotional stunt, where anyone that recited the full thing in a certain amount of time won a free burger. |
| 54 | * Lampshaded in one radio commercial where the announcer was interviewing the guy who rattles off disclaimers in commercials, while said guy's contribution to the interview is blisteringly-fast attacks of disclaimer speak. At the end of the commercial, the announcer asked the disclaimer guy if his lips ever caught on fire. The latter admitted, "Occasionally." |

| 60 | * [[http://www.loren.nu/graphics/kwebbel.gif Kwebbel]] from {{Creator/Studio100}}'s popular Belgian children's show ''Series/KabouterPlop.'' She talks very fast preventing the other gnomes to talk. [[https://youtu.be/0qPQ19KmlVY There was even a song called "Jij Praat Teveel" (You Talk Too Much)]] where the male gnomes criticize her habit of telling various embarrassing moments that she witnessed from the other gnomes. |
| 61 | * This Little Caesar's Pizza commercial from 2017: |
| 62 | -->'''Father:''' I got a great deal on pizza!\ |
| 63 | '''Son:''' ''[quickly and monotone]'' You went to Little Caesar's and got an extra Most Bestest with the most cheese and pepperoni for just six bucks?\ |

| 65 | '''Father:''' ... I got a terrible deal on pizza. |

| 69 | * ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasLittleSpaceWar'' has the new character, Papi's pet [[TalkingAnimal alien dog]] Rokoroko who speaks non-stop, in all adaptations (manga, original anime, 2021 remake). The manga tends to have entire panerls bearing a WallOfText whenever Rokoroko's onscreen. It even becomes a plot point in the finale, when Rokoroko's long, pointless, meandering speech serves as HoldingTheFloor [[spoiler:for the Shrink Light's effects to eventually wear off]]. |
| 70 | * The cast of ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' sometimes goes into Motor Mouth mode, often during the {{Post Episode Trailer}}s where they ''argue'' at a hundred miles an hour. |
| 71 | %% * Music/MegumiHayashibara's characters tend to have stints of {{Motor Mouth}}ery. She's not the only Japanese voice actress to accomplish it on a regular basis, but she's arguably one of the best. |
| 72 | * Lime from ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'' and its various sequels. She even gets to speak at a rapid-fire pace while playing as EmotionlessGirl Rei Ayanami in the "alternate universe" episode of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (they are even voiced by [[Creator/MegumiHayashibara the same actress]], to boot). |
| 73 | * ''Anime/ExcelSaga'': |
| 74 | ** Creator/KotonoMitsuishi, Excel's voice actress in is quite good at this, and Excel's English voice actress was almost as capable; however, Creator/JessicaCalvello nearly destroyed her voice after thirteen episodes (though that could have also been because of Excel's [[ChewingTheScenery hoarse screech]] in Calvello's rendition). She was also the VA for Anime/SailorMoon, and was able to showcase her talent in later seasons, usually during comedic episodes. |
| 75 | ** [[http://es.doblaje.wikia.com/wiki/Rebeca_Aponte Rebeca Aponte]] from Venezuela was able to do it too. [[Website/{{Uncyclopedia}} Some like to make jokes]] saying she was using [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs amphetamines]], but mainly [[ItAmusedMe For The Lulz]]. |
| 76 | * Ms. Calvello did the voice for one of the younger sisters in ''Manga/HisAndHerCircumstances''. In both the original and the dub, the voice actresses for the sisters would do the "Next Episode" previews in live action, with Motor Mouth that necessitates subtitles. |
| 77 | * Creator/JessicaCalvello also would use Motor Mouth again for the 2014 English dub of ''Manga/MariaHolic'', in which she plays the show's main character, Kanako Miyame. |
| 78 | * The main character Poemi, in the ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' spinoff ''Anime/PuniPuniPoemi'' sometimes managed to be even faster. Fan translation subtitles would stack to the point where they cover half the screen. The English voice actress managed to survive the ordeal, though she blew her voice out on the second day of recording, according to the DVD commentary.[[note]] Fun fact: The DVD commentary for ''Anime/PuniPuniPoemi'' is one of very few sporting 5.1 surround sound![[/note]] |
| 79 | * Sana Kurata of ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'' can be a Motor Mouth Supreme when the mood strikes, far exceeding even Music/MegumiHayashibara's characters. When your subtitles come in entire ''[[WallOfText paragraphs]]''... |
| 80 | * ''Anime/HareGuu'': |
| 81 | ** Haré, the main character, is prone to motormouthery when things just get too weird for him. |
| 82 | ** In the second season, ''Haré+Guu Deluxe'', the opening of each episode includes Haré spouting out of a rapid-fire stream of chatter, which varies from time to time while Guu dances. |
| 83 | %% ** Haré's seiyuu, Rikako Aikawa, seems to specialize in this. |
| 84 | * Ichiko from ''VisualNovel/OtobokuMaidensAreFallingForMe''. ("[[OneeSama Oneesamaoneesamaoneesamaoneesamaoneesama]]....") |
| 85 | * In ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure,'' one of Nagisa's [[ThoseTwoGuys two "normal" friends]] is a Motor Mouth who occasionally punctuates her rapid-fire speech with a triple repeat of a word. |
| 86 | * In a PostEpisodeTrailer for ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'', Ichigo is so in shock that she starts speaking quickly, repeating words, and eventually reminding herself of the thing she was trying to distract herself from in the first place. "[=DaiiiiiiiisukisukisukisuKISU=]!!?" |
| 87 | * Kyouka in ''Literature/KyouranKazokuNikki'' speaks very fast very often, especially her dialogue in the show's opening theme. |
| 88 | %% * The art teacher in ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu''. |
| 89 | * ''Anime/ElfPrincessRane'' has several examples of the blue-haired guy speaking very quickly in gibberish (once humorously translated by the subbers as "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck..." Backward). |
| 90 | %% * ''Everyone'' in ''Gag Manga Biyori''. |
| 91 | * If you're going to watch the subtitled version of ''Anime/SCryEd'', make damn sure you can speedread. Straight Cougar's dialogue approximates a blur at points. |
| 92 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. Apparently, Misato (yet another Creator/KotonoMitsuishi role) was like this in her college days; Ritsuko thinks she's "making up for lost time" (after spending her childhood years mute from the trauma of witnessing Second Impact). We don't get to hear her though, just see the stunned look on Ritsuko's face as she babbles on and on. |
| 93 | %% * Graham Spector from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}''. Just... Graham. |
| 94 | %% * Kira Yamato from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' mentally does this whenever he goes into programming a mobile suit, to demonstrate just how fast a Coordinator's mind works. |
| 95 | %% * Normally quiet [[VisualNovel/WeWithoutWings Miyako]] pulls off two notable instances of this. The contrast between her normal personality and these makes them stand out. |
| 96 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 97 | ** The 8th ending song "Exciting Pokémon Relay" and its remix "Exciting Pokémon Relay" are about a Pokémon's problem resolved with [[DisasterDominoes a chain of almost unrelated events]] it caused... in an extremely fast-paced and repetitive manner. |
| 98 | ** Barry from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl'' talks as fast as he runs. And he has a short-attention span, which mean he has a tendency to veer off-topic during his rants, meaning that his talks go much longer than needed. Oh, and he rarely lets people get a chance to speak when he's talking. |
| 99 | * Ahiru can be like this in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', particularly when she's flustered. It's part of her "duck-like" personality that she quacks out her words--since she's ''actually'' a duck magically transformed into a girl. |
| 100 | %% * Akane Mitamura from ''Manga/KonoAozoraNiYakusokuWo''. |
| 101 | %% * FillerVillain [[MadScientist Daphne]] in ''Manga/FairyTail''. Bonus points for frequently swinging from a cheerful and childish voice to a [[EvilSoundsDeep creepy deep one]] frequently. |
| 102 | * Technically Anime and Singing, but the opening themes of ''Manga/KOn'' season two have Yui (and the other main characters, if they actually sing) sing so quickly that it's been commented that they sound like chipmunks, doesn't help that the pacing of the band behind them is even faster. The characters talk at normal speed during the show, but the songs... |
| 103 | %% * Mika from ''Manga/MoritaSanWaMukuchi'' has her own episode dedicated to the fact that this is her real defining trait. |
| 104 | * The main character of ''[[Literature/TheTatamiGalaxy Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei]]'' speaks at such a rapid pace that the subs fly across the screen and reading them can be a little challenging. |
| 105 | * ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' is one of the most (in)famous examples in anime history. It's to the point that "Everybody talks a mile a minute" is about the only thing a lot of people remember about the series. |
| 106 | -->'''Speed Racer:''' Four wheels are much more dangerous because two ropes are used to support the four wheels. If the ropes start swinging when the car's halfway across, the wheels will slip from under one of the ropes, and there'll be no way to hang on to the other and Twinkle will fall to the bottom. |
| 107 | * ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'''s title character Nyarko has this in spades; in the first episode alone, she spends about a solid minute rambling about breakfast and her favorite {{Tokusatsu}} show, talking right over Mahiro, to his growing annoyance -- he implies ''she's been doing this since last night''. It isn't until he threatens her with [[ImprobableWeaponUser a fork]] that she shuts up, and even then, her explanation of why she's on Earth turns a FastForwardGag, because, in the original light novel, she literally rambled on for several pages. |
| 108 | %% * Nanami Momozono from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' does this, not all the time, but it tends to be a RunningGag when she does it. |
| 109 | * In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Senketsu delivers a recap of the series up to that point in about a minute and a half, barely even pausing for breath. Mako also regularly does this when giving her lectures that are filled to the brim with InsaneTrollLogic. |
| 110 | * In the ''Manga/HappyHappyClover'' anime, Clover would mostly talk very fast when she is excited, happy or worried. |
| 111 | %% * This was a side effect of the [=DiC=] dub of ''Anime/SailorMoon''. While it made sense for the Sailor Scouts to do this, it seemed odd for the cats and the MonsterOfTheWeek. |
| 112 | * When Haruhiko from ''Literature/MyriadColorsPhantomWorld'' gets excited, he has a tendency of babbling at high speed. Usually, he goes on tangents full of useless trivia until someone stops him. |
| 113 | %% * Nagisa's mother Hiromi from ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'' talks like this whenever Nagisa sets her off. |
| 114 | * Mercurius of ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae'' has this habit to the annoyance of everyone else. To quote the man himself: |
| 115 | -->'''Mercurius:''' In an introspection, in a calm introspection of his many negatives, Mercurius found his taste for jests to be the one that stood out the most. Next came his needless verbosity. With his nature being that of an inconsiderate man, he was severely unequipped to speak the necessary words at the necessary time in the necessary amounts. He acknowledged that fact. In fact, he was doing it right now. The meaning of the deluge of letters he had just spouted forth could be boiled down to the simple and meager four-word sentence "I talk too much." He was a wordsmith that refined the complicated and reforged the straight forwards into the complex. That was how he preferred to perceive and present his thoughts. It was small wonder those environing his would consider him vexing. |
| 116 | * In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', when Deku is trying to figure something out, he has a tendency to mutter to himself at high speed about the various factors involved. He does this quietly, but still with enough volume to be noticeable to others; this is signified by having the onomatopoeia for "mutter" drift out of his mouth and orbit his head. From what other characters say, the effect is quite creepy. |
| 117 | * The English dub of ''Anime/GhostStories'' uses it for comedic effects, as expected for a GagDub. |
| 118 | -->'''Momoko:''' "[=HaveyouacceptedJesusasyourpersonalsaviour=]" |
| 119 | ** Fourth-wall breaking is always warranted. |
| 120 | --->'''Leo:''' "Oh-my-god-Oh-my-god-what-the-hell-is-happening-here-these-are-the-fastest-lip-flaps-I've-ever-had-to-sync" |
| 121 | ** Also while Satsuki and Hajime was reporting to the police... |
| 122 | --->'''Satsuki:''' "Thepeopleinmyhouselooklikemyfatherandmybrotherafteraneyemastersexambutit'snotthem"\ |
| 123 | '''Hajime:''' "Yeahboogitadidggitdagoogitydigdigdigtikikiti" |
| 124 | * Windy in ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' English dub as shown where he talks a hundred miles per hour in his introductory episode that it's impressive his voice actor didn't pass out. Whereas in the Japanese dub he speaks normally. |
| 125 | * The most common joke of ''Manga/{{Teekyuu}}'' is to combine this with either complete non-sequiturs or dumb puns to cause the viewer (and frequently other characters on the show) to only realize something weird has been said once the episode is over. |
| 126 | * The infamous AB Groupe dub (AKA the "Big Green" dub) of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' was notorious for having nearly all the characters talk like they're trying to condense a full paragraph of dialog into less than a minute. Paragus from Groupe's dub of ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan'' is just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4k0JgxCgTc one example]]. |
| 127 | -->'''Paragus''': ''(Talking to "Vegetuh")'' I must tell you mykeenestdesirehasalwaysbeentocreateanewPlanetVegetuhafterFreezerdestroyedouroldonethirtyyearsagoyouwillrecall.

I can tell you that my sacredmissionmygreatdreamwillatlasttakeshape and be realized. |
| 128 | * ''Manga/AfterGod'': Alula is noted a few times to speak too fast and going on tangents about how everything is wrong with society. |
| 129 | [[/folder]] |
| 130 | |
| 131 | [[folder:Standupandrecordedcomedy.]] |
| 132 | %% * Creator/BrianRegan says that his favorite part of a monster truck rally is afterwards when the driver is speaking to a reporter about any anomaly that may have occurred with the vehicle. |
| 133 | * Creator/JeffFoxworthy: On the ''Blue Collar Comedy Tour'', he postulated that the reason many NASCAR fans can't stand Jeff Gordon is that he enunciates his speech, whereas other drivers go off on Southern-accented Motor Mouthing run-ons. |
| 134 | --> '''Jeff:''' "And as Southern as I am, I'm goin', 'Dude, ''what''? Were there any ''words'' in that?'" |
| 135 | %% ** Jeff also does this as part of his "SideEffectsInclude" routine. |
| 136 | * {{Invoked|Trope}} by Mindless Self Indulgence's Jimmy Urine in ''Stupid Motherfucker'': "Is this simple enough for you? Does everybody understand? Are you all still following me? Should I talk slower like you're a retard? Should I talk slower like you're retarded?" MSI is usually fairly understandable in speed if not pronunciation. |
| 137 | * Creator/GeorgeCarlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television". The words themselves are spoken very fast. Also "You and Me (Things That Come Off of Your Body)" from ''Complaints and Grievances'', especially that long expletive of insults that became a running gag. |
| 138 | * Scott Beach's "Religion and Politics" is a tale where the protagonist is at a political rally when a Conservative tells him he was "full of s#!t" for criticizing the candidates on being petty and vindictive and by the end the Conservative gets beaten to a pulp. Done without taking a breath. |

| 142 | [[folder:Comicsinabookformat.]] |
| 143 | * The [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Amazing]] and the ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan are sometimes portrayed as this, quipping through and through during a battle, which more often than not, annoys a LOT his enemies. More the Ultimate, as he's a teenager who won't shut up at all sometimes. It is heavily implied that this is Spidey's form of coping with his fear during a battle. However, [[TranquilFury beware when he's silent...]] |
| 144 | %% * ComicBook/{{Impulse}} and his cousin XS are notable examples. |
| 145 | * ComicBook/TheFlash once ''broke the sound barrier'' with his motor mouth. |
| 146 | %% * ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} gets ''quieter'' when this happens. |
| 147 | * Maxine Hunkel, alias Cyclone, is a Motor Mouth, to the sometimes annoyance of her teammates in the [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica JSA]]. In fact, when ComicBook/PowerGirl extended her a JSA invitation, she threatened to immediately revoke it if Maxine didn't ''shut up for a minute.'' |
| 148 | * ''ComicBook/{{Princeless}}'': During a flashback from before he became King, King Ashe said his sisters liked to talk the whole time and, if one of them married the Black Knight, she wouldn't realize her husband doesn't speak. |
| 149 | * Me, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}; made clear by the fact that I'm sometimes called the 'Merc With A Mouth'. This goes so far that despite my death in the [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 incursion]] I ''still'' narrate the exploits of my wife. Ex or no-ex, not even Death herself can make me shut up. |
| 150 | %% * Delight in ''ComicBook/{{The Sandman|1989}}: Endless Nights''. |
| 151 | %% * [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Harley_Davidson_%28Earth-616%29 Harley Davidson a.k.a Motormouth]], from Creator/MarvelComics. |
| 152 | %% * [[CheerfulChild Pixie]] of the ''ComicBook/XMen'' drifts into this when she gets excited, nervous, or scared. |
| 153 | * ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye: Swerve, who always loves to talk, and his nickname in the academy was Shut the Hell Up. The Decepticons have Misfire, who accidentally took a FantasticDrug and has ADHD, he's easily distracted and won't stop, makes him the go-to guy for an {{Infodump}}. |
| 154 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Marvel 1602}}'', Hal [=McCoy=] describes himself as "a creature of few words", but once he starts talking it's difficult to get him to stop. |
| 155 | * ComicBook/UltimateMarvel |
| 156 | ** Rhona Burchill from ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour''. When she talks, she spits a constant stream of dialogue, and her speech bubbles [[PaintingTheMedium replace spaces with hyphens]] to emphasize how quickly she talks. |
| 157 | ** ''ComicBook/UltimateFF'': Rick Jones interrupted Iron Man to ask if he talks just to hear himself talk. |
| 158 | ** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': In the opening narration of the first issue, the random guy is not particularly interested in Greek mythology, but Norman told him the whole story of Arachne anyway. It does not have anything to do with anything, he just loves to hear the sound of his own voice. |
| 159 | * Elizabeth Wilkinson, the protagonist of ''ComicBook/{{Championess}}'', has multiple characters mention that she talks too much. |

| 166 | [[folder:Fictionwrittenbyfans.]] |
| 167 | %% * Andy briefly takes on this role while smitten with Maria in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''. |
| 168 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': |
| 169 | ** Harry in the first book, usually when he's about to do something spectacular, though this fades out afterwards as he matures (though it still pops up every now and then). |
| 170 | ** Doctor Strange is renowned for being cryptic and enigmatic, but when he's being clever/actually deigning to tell people what he's been up to for once (something which usually coincides with his being less sane than usual) this is the result. |
| 171 | ** Loki - [[GibberingGenius when he's thinking aloud.]] Letting his mouth run and being called up by an alternately amused/tetchy Thor (situation depending) is a RunningGag. |
| 172 | ** Peter Parker shows up in Book 2 and engages in a long string of CasualDangerDialogue while wrestling [[spoiler: Grey Court vampires]]. He makes the other examples from this fic look quiet and solemn by comparison. Harry inwardly reflects that while most people would be amazed that he could talk so much, a telepath like Harry would consider it a miracle that he didn't talk ''even more''. |
| 173 | * Arguably Sara's most defining character trait in ''Fanfic/IronTouch''. Her ramblings end up being so long that they make [[TheProtagonist Michelle]] physically uncomfortable. |
| 174 | -->'''Sara:''' Ok, so, back in {{UsefulNotes/Spain}}, we stopped at some random bar before crossing the border to {{UsefulNotes/France}}. Absolutely wild that the drinking age in most of Europe is 18, by the way. Means I can drag [[ScrewDestiny these]] [[VampireHunter two]] to get drinks with me. Anyways, this guy came up and started hitting on me. Not even [[ChivalrousPervert the sweet, kind of earnest type of flirting that you just take with a smile before telling them to hit the road]], this dude was actually a creep. He started feeling me up and [[SlippingAMickey I saw him put something in my drink.]] Then I called him out for it, and he was like "I don't know what you're talking about, go on and have a sip babe." So I splashed it in his face. Then the douchebag grabbed a knife and [[SoreLoser started slashing at me!]] Luckily for me, [[BigBrotherInstinct Cab]] stepped in and... |
| 175 | * Braeburn from ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9146423/1/ The New Six]]'', a fanfic based on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. He's even more of a Motor Mouth than he is in the show. |
| 176 | -->'''Braeburn:''' So, you see, we decided that everypony would really benefit if we started a new orchard. And I have seven siblings, of course, so I wasn't really needed at my home, so I wanted to be the one to go start this new settlement. But with the Apples, we almost always have families go to start these things. I was all set to start this new town and orchard, and I was going to name it Aaaaaaappleloosa! Doesn't that have a nice ring to it? Aaaaaappleloosa! But then when Big Macintosh was married, he decided to go, at least to start it and then come back to Sweet Apple Acres, 'cause of the family thing, so I came to Ponyville to take his place at this orchard. But he didn't even keep the name Appleloosa! |
| 177 | %% * ''Fanfic/HarmonyTheory'': Blaze really seems to like talking. |
| 178 | * In ''Fanfic/SystemRestore'', Ibuki gets into this at one point, while trying to tell Togami the history of punk rock in half an hour. |
| 179 | %% * Gossipette Smurfette from Raven Child's ''Fanfic/TheSmurfetteVillage'' series has a habit of speaking like this. |
| 180 | * Played for laughs in ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. Dr. Kevin Filner engages in this when describing a DangerousForbiddenTechnique he suggests might work for powering a new ship design. |
| 181 | * ''WebVideo/DanganRonpaAbridgedThing'': |
| 182 | ** This is used when Kirigiri hastily provides an explanation for why Fujisaki was originally killed in the boys' locker room despite being found dead in the girls' locker room- saying that it's because Fujisaki "isdesignatedmaleatbirthalthoughicannotsayeitherwaywhethertheyidentifyaseitheroranygenderbutnonethelesstheiridrecognizesthemasmale" without offending anyone. |
| 183 | ** Mixing it with NoIndoorVoice, Ishimaru also had such moments when he realized that the 'class trial' was about to decide who will get executed, and accuse the wrong guy, then everyone else gets executed. "ICHANGEDMYMINDTHISISNOTWELCOMEINASCHOOLENVIRONMENT" |
| 184 | * ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': While on Namek, Krillin blabs to Vegeta that Gohan's with Guru and then realizes he should have kept his mouth shut, all in one breath. |
| 185 | -->'''Vegeta:''' Where's that immense power coming from? |
| 186 | -->'''Krillin:''' [very quickly] Oh, that's probably Gohan over in the hut with the creator of the Dragon Balls is. You know, the guy who can unlock your potential by putting his hand on top of your head- [[LampshadeHanging Oh, God, I cannot shut up when I am scared...]] |
| 187 | * In ''Fanfic/RobbReturns'', after Robert Arryn [[spoiler:is finally weaned off of the poison that kept him weak]], there are times when Jory wonders if the boy will be able to shut up for five straight minutes. |
| 188 | * ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: |
| 189 | ** When George [[VoluntaryShapeshifting turns into]] [[ScaledUp a brass dragon]] in ''The Soft World'', he simply cannot stop talking, mostly to brag about himself. He's supposed to breathe sleep gas on a roomful of giant centipedes, but instead, he blathers and brags and sings and generally annoys the others so much that John shouts, “Eh, chatty, reckon you might do whatever it is you were gonna do before we all die of boredom here?” After George becomes himself again, almost embarrassed at his loss of verbal control, the others officially strip the title of “Quiet Beatle” from him. |
| 190 | ** Theecat Stefnable, tech rogue, is also very chatty and verbose (to the point of annoying the four). His companion Nyvan the archer is also a motormouth, but it's entirely an InformedAbility that George, Theecat, and Nyvan's cousin Chana complain about. |
| 191 | * ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse:'' One of the effects of ''Truth is a Scourge'' is that in addition to forcing anyone who drinks it to tell nothing but the truth, they can't ''not'' speak, blurting out every thought that comes to mind. Notably, when Pinkie Pie unknowingly takes a sample, there's no change whatsoever to her behaviour (besides maybe being slightly grouchy about the subject of waffle-houses). |
| 192 | * ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfMiraculous'': When Link finally starts to overcome his selective mutism around Zelda, he decides quickly that he needs to milk his sudden ability to talk to her in case he loses it, rambling through an explanation of how long he's been in love with her. |
| 193 | * ''Fanfic/CheatingDeathThoseThatLived'' has Crown Martins, the candymaking Victor of the 24th Hunger Games. Throughout his chapter, he tends to talk about a lot of stuff at a fast pace. It hurts the heads of multiple characters (including all of the District One Victors), causes trouble for the Capitolian subtitlers who try to transcribe his in-arena "cooking show", and has the Capitolian public try to comprehend speed talking after he exits the arena. [[spoiler: He manages to control his talking speed near the end of the story as he admits to Katniss. However, he relapses when he's in the moment, as seen when he's trying to vote against a hypothetical Hunger Games involving Capitolian children]]. |
| 194 | --> '''Crown (to Peridot)''': "We have quite a lot of gummies in stock and like you are totally gonna love them ever so much I mean really it's like no contest that we've got the best gummies in One with all of them handmade by me actually. We have gummy snakes, gummy worms, gummy elephants, gummy tributes, gummy Orions, nutty gummies, fruity gummies, soda gummies and for the strange folk who have cash and don't need questioning we've got a wide array of blood gummies raging from prices of one cap to ten caps though for a refined lady like you I'd imagine something like mint gummies are more your thing you know?" |
| 195 | * ''Fanfic/AllMixedUp'': One thing that sets Carlos apart from his sister Carol is his tendency to talk a lot, and for a very long time. It's implied that this is one of the reasons that Oprah dislikes him, and even Oscar and Otto compare him to those like Olaf or Obfusco, the latter of which also talks a lot. |
| 196 | * ''Fanfic/WhatAStrangeLittleColt'': Pinkie Pie, unsurprisingly, when she explains how she figured there was a new foal and came to deliver a cupcake. |
| 197 | -->'''Pinkie Pie:''' I ''knew'' that somepony new was in town because my back left hoof was itchy-twitchy and I knew it was a ''foal'' because it was just itchy-twitchy and not itchy-witchy like the way it is with grown-ups and I just knew that I had to give you the warmest, huggiest, most ''superlicious'' Pinkie Pie welcome ever so I made a big batch of ''super-yummy'' cupcakes but then my tail got wiggly and I knew somepony in the hospital would need more than just a normal cupcake so I made a brand-new batch of ''extra'' super-yummy cupcakes to make somepony who was having an terrible horrible no-good very bad day into somepony who was having an extra special new friend day so then I brought one up to the hospital but the ''SUPER'' nice mare at the front said that I had to wait for the doctor to come back but I just ''couldn't'' stand by while a foal was so horribly cupcake-less so I got super sneakey and sneaked so fast that the mare couldn't stop me from getting all the way to your room and then I saw that Dashie was already here and I was like ''[='whaaaaaat'=]'' but that's okay because now it’s a ''party'' and at a party you're ''always'' supposed to introduce yourself to people you don't know even if they have super-duper weird and scary eyes so hi my name's Pinkie Pie what's yours? |

| 200 | [[folder:Animatedmoviesyouwatchintheatersandhome.]] |
| 201 | * Twitchy of ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'' fame is hard to understand at the best of times. When he drinks coffee for the first time, he becomes truly incomprehensible without the aid of a voice recorder's 'slowdown' function. |
| 202 | * Br'er Fox in ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'' speaks a mile a minute thanks to James Baskett's rapid-fire performance. The animation directors actually had to invent a new process to ''try'' and keep up with the delivery...and it ''still'' doesn't quite match up. |
| 203 | * Wendy briefly goes through this when she first meets ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', and doesn't stop talking until Peter finally comments "Girls talk too much." |
| 204 | * ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', with the marionette version of Woody in the ShowWithinAShow ''Woody's Roundup''. |
| 205 | -->'''Marionette Woody:''' What's that? ''[in one breath]'' Jessie and Prospector are trapped in the old abandoned mine and Prospector just lit a stick of dynamite thinkin' it was a candle and now they're about to be blown to ''smithereens?'' |
| 206 | * Donkey from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''. When they first meet, Shrek tries covering the donkey's mouth and he still keeps talking. |
| 207 | * The radio from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' is a chatterbox who usually phrases his dialogue as radio broadcasts about Teddy Roosevelt. |
| 208 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'': When Dean lets Hogarth have some espresso (described as "Coffee-zilla"), the boy launches into a rambling rant about school, ending with the expected request for more coffee. |
| 209 | %% * On the NSA profiles on ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' DVD, the deceased heroine Blazestone was this. |
| 210 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'': |
| 211 | -->'''Colette:''' You think cooking is a cute job, ay? Like Mommy in the kitchen? ''(rapidly chopping vegetables as she talks)'' Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush when the orders come flooding in and every dish is different and none are simple and all have the different cooking time and must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot! And! Perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT BE MOMMY! |
| 212 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'': Both leads. Once you get Tulip yammering, she doesn't shut up. Especially if she's forced to talk to herself out of boredom. Junior, being played by Andy Samberg, has a habit of explaining things very quickly under his breath. |
| 213 | * José Carioca, starting with his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos'' and continuing on to ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' and some TV episodes afterwards. Whenever he gets excited, such as meeting somebody for the first time or wanting to go somewhere, he'll fire off in rapid Portuguese for several seconds on end until he manages to slow down and reiterate what he means in English, usually for Donald Duck. This character trait only really applies to whenever he was voiced by his first performer, José Oliveira. Even many viewers who understand Portuguese have trouble keeping up with him when he does that. |
| 214 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'': Carl Fredricksen's love interest Ellie was ''very'' talkative during their childhood, which contrasted with Carl's shyness and few words. She even did all the talking for him during their initial encounters. As a case of irony, Ellie is never heard talking as an adult or senior citizen during the couple's "Married Life" montage. |
| 215 | * Hades in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has a tendency as he is - as he himself puts it - a "fast talker". He activly uses his Motor Mouth to manipulate and annoy others. The film makers compare his tactic to that of shady car dealers. |
| 216 | * [[{{WesternAnimation/Brave}} Merida]] is portrayed as being this in ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' due to her being from [[{{Creator/Pixar}} "the other studio'']]. |
| 217 | |

| 221 | %% * DJ Vince Fontaine combines this with RhymesOnADime in the movie version of ''Film/{{Grease}}''. |
| 222 | * ''Film/CreepVan'': At one point, the killer picks up a guy who's motorcycle broke down on the road and gives him a ride. Once he's in the vehicle, the man starts yakking on and on about things like how he knew someone who also owned a van. He gets impaled through the chest from behind for his troubles. |
| 223 | * Creator/{{Disney}}'s educational film ''Dad, Can I Borrow the Car?'' has a scene with a very fast-talking car dealer--Which runs close to ''3 minutes''. |
| 224 | * Creator/DustinHoffman playing ''Film/DickTracy'''s Mumbles (his confession of "Big Boy did it!" is rendered "Beebeedit!" until the police play his testimony back in slow motion). This was also a characteristic of Mumbles in the comic strip, who talked so fast he didn't bother to pronounce vowels (which, in English at least, are naturally slower than the consonants). |
| 225 | * George in ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' babbles rapidly about "java" when he has coffee for the first time. |
| 226 | * Mink from ''Film/MillersCrossing''. Creator/SteveBuscemi was cast in part because he could handle [[SophisticatedAsHell the film's dialogue]] at the appropriate rate of speed. |
| 227 | * [[https://youtu.be/W5BQAU0S37Y&NR=1 The French-speaking coroner]] in ''Film/BonCopBadCop''. The comedian who plays the part, Louis-José Houde, is exactly this. Incredibly hilarious too. |
| 228 | -->'''Martin:''' I'm sorry but I didn't get half of what he said...\ |
| 229 | '''David:''' ''[in French]'' Don't worry, me neither, but as long as we got different halves we're good. |
| 230 | * ''Film/DreamingTheReality'' has Sister Lan talking like this in most of her scenes, including when meeting the amnesiac protagonist Fox for the first time - rapidly asking details on Fox's name, age, identity, how she got wounded, reasons she's being pursued by the police, and a bunch of other questions within the span of ''five seconds''. Fox hesitates for two seconds and Lan immediately tells her to "say it!" |
| 231 | * Key to Groucho Marx's style in ''Film/DuckSoup'': |
| 232 | -->'''Rufus T. Firefly''': (''to Mrs. Teasdale'') That covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You'd better beat it; I hear they're going to tear you down and put up an office building where you're standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. [[{{Pun}} If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff]]. [[HypocriticalHumor You know, you haven't stopped talking since I got here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle]]. |
| 233 | * When Mr. HairTriggerTemper Creator/JoePesci and Chris Rock meet up in ''Film/LethalWeapon4'', Pesci starts off with his usual "They fuck you with..." rant and Chris Rock responds in kind, leading to an unceasing tirade by both characters on their pet hates while the protagonists look on in disbelief. |
| 234 | * The mail room orienter in ''Film/TheHudsuckerProxy'' |
| 235 | -->'''Orienter:''' You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you! Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! 6787049A/6. That is your employee number. It will ''not'' be repeated! |
| 236 | %% * ''Film/LastActionHero'' when Lt. Dekker is yelling at Jack Slater in his office the second time. Steam comes out of his ears. |
| 237 | * In the movie adaptation of ''Film/{{Hogfather}}'', Violet the Tooth Fairy is played like this, chattering on and on ''through a gag'' until Teatime threatens unspeakable consequences if she doesn't shut up. |
| 238 | * Carl Showalter from ''Film/{{Fargo}}''. Can't even pull off total silence. |
| 239 | -->"I don't have to talk, either, man! See how you like it. Just total fricassee'n silence. Two can play at that game, smart guy. We'll just see how you like it. Total silence." |
| 240 | %% * Actor James Lorinz plays this role in ''Film/{{Frankenhooker}}'' and ''Film/StreetTrash''. |
| 241 | * One of Creator/MarkWahlberg's favorite acting moves; when his character is upset, angry, or scared, he starts to babble. |
| 242 | * Walter from ''Film/HisGirlFriday'' fast-talks his way out of most problems and can get anyone to go along with anything. Hildy punctuates an especially rapid rant with "Sold American!" like an auctioneer. |
| 243 | * Wilhelm Burgdorf from ''Film/Downfall2004''. The way he talks and rants throughout the film became a subject of a joke among those who make ''Downfall'' [[WebVideo/HitlerRants parodies]], which earned him the nickname "fast-ranting boozing Burgdorf". |
| 244 | * This is a common symptom among characters in 1930s/40s movies. Films like ''GreenForDanger'' feature characters who rapidly bounce back and forth in conversations with one another, rattling off dialogue without ever stumbling over their words or having to pause for thought. It never noticed by the other characters (who often speak with equal velocity). |
| 245 | * Film/AceVentura has a tendency to go into Motor Mouth mode, especially when giving TheSummation. You can tell when it starts: he takes a ''huge'' breath. |
| 246 | * Jay in Film/TheViewAskewniverse never shuts his trap, unlike his [[TheSilentBob relatively quiet friend Bob]]. In fact, some fans think that the reason Bob rarely talks is that Jay never lets him get a word in edgewise. |
| 247 | * ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'': "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night!" (slower than most of the examples here, but still impressive as it indicates that the character has an ''excellent'' memory). |
| 248 | * Another Creator/JohnHughes example occurs in ''Film/WeirdScience''. When Wyatt's brother comes home and finds the house a total wreck, Wyatt [[ICanExplain desperately tries to explain what happened]] with a rapid-fire summation of all of the movie's plot up to that point, delivered as one long run-on sentence. |
| 249 | %%* Jordan in ''Film/RealGenius''. |
| 250 | * In ''Film/IronMan2'', Hammer babbles ''incessantly'' throughout most of his scenes; moreover, a lot of his impressive-sounding techno-jabber is pure bullshit. It's not entirely clear if it's a case of ObfuscatingStupidity or Hammer just being a schmooze who tries too hard. He's a foil to Tony, who also chatters, but usually has a point to everything he says, or to Vanko, who is highly intelligent but barely says anything. Vanko expressly calls him out on it during one of Hammer's angry rants, where Vanko's only response (in unsubtitled Russian) is "You talk too much." |
| 251 | * In ''Film/RideAlong'', Ben will start babbling nonsense to get out of a situation he is in. |
| 252 | * In ''Film/{{Shine}}'', David, from his teenage years but worse after he suffers his mental breakdown, speaks very fastly and disjointly. |
| 253 | * Esteban in the film adaptation of ''Literature/TheHundredYearOldManWhoClimbedOutTheWindowAndDisappeared''. He's a Spanish revolutionary who constantly tries to rouse his comrades to raise arms against Franco, and during the short time he is onscreen, he literally ''never stops talking'', extremely rapidly to boot. It's implied he keeps this up for months before finally getting killed in his first battle. |
| 254 | %% * ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'': |
| 255 | %% ** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'': Wade Wilson. Stryker thinks it's his worst feature. |
| 256 | * ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Quicksilver talks as fast as he... just about everything else. And good luck shutting him up. |
| 257 | %% * Creator/RobertDowneyJr's portrayal of Holmes in ''Film/SherlockHolmes2009'' does this ''a lot.'' |
| 258 | * ''Film/{{Retroactive}}'': There's hardly a minute where the villain Frank (Jim Belushi) isn't running his mouth off. |
| 259 | * Ned from ''Film/GroundhogDay''. Phil doesn't have a chance to say anything [[spoiler:(until he gives Ned the advice to TalkToTheFist)]]. |
| 260 | * Andrew whenever he's supposed to be quiet in ''Film/{{Monsters|2010}}''. The moment something mysterious happens, he's loudly asking "WHAT IS THAT? WHAT'S HAPPENING?". Probably largely due to the ad-libbed nature of the movie. |
| 261 | * Appropriately enough for the character, as in his comic book appearances, Spider-Man is a big-league jabberer in his appearance in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', using breaks in the action to casually chatter with his opponents and ask about their tech and abilities. Iron Man and Falcon, at least, get annoyed very quickly with his commentary, but Cap himself is rather impressed that a teenager is able to carry on the way Spidey does while in the middle of an engagement. |
| 262 | -->'''Falcon:''' ''[to Spidey]'' I don't know if you've been in a fight before, but there's usually NOT this much talking. |
| 263 | * Everyone in ''Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre'' is a fast talker, but Howard is the fastest talker of them all. |
| 264 | * In ''Film/IfYouBelieve'', Susan's assistant Robin talks and talks and talks. Constantly. To Susan's great annoyance. Susan is an editor and calls it "run on sentences" in her lingo. |
| 265 | * ''Film/NowYouSeeIt2005'': When Allison gets started on something that excites her, she doesn't like to shut up. This quickly annoys Danny as she chatters endlessly about preparing for the show, while he'd rather just be alone. |
| 266 | * In ''Film/AntMan1'', Scott's buddy Luis answers questions with long run-on-sentence explanations full of digressions (and hilariously visualised on screen as he talks). In ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', the bad guys inject him with something to make him talk, and then desperately ask the other Ex-Cons if there's any way of making him ''stop''. |
| 267 | * In ''Film/{{Dobermann}}'', Mosquito never shuts up. The source of his nickname appears to be his constant annoying buzzing. |
| 268 | * In the animated segments of ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', Br'er Fox talks this way. In fact, James Baskett talked so fast as Br'er Fox, the animators had a little difficulty doing lip sync to his voice. |
| 269 | * ''Film/SayAnything'': Lloyd Dobler does this a lot when he's nervous, whether he's asking Diane out on a date (offering to give her many tips about her trip to England..."English tips"), or giving a speech to Diane's father about what he wants to do for a living ("I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career"). Corey, his best friend, calls it "[[BuffySpeak that nervous talking thing]]". |
| 270 | * In ''Film/PushingTin'', the air traffic controllers quickly rattle off instructions to the pilots. When Nick and some of his friends order breakfast at a diner, Nick makes his order so quickly the waitress doesn't catch any of it. |
| 271 | * ''Film/AGoodWomanIsHardToFind'': Tito is a bit of one, talking constantly to Sarah to the point he hardly even notices how afraid of him she is. |
| 272 | [[/folder]] |
| 273 | |
| 274 | [[folder:Booksthatyouread.]] |
| 275 | * ''Literature/AfterDarkMySweet'': Collie frequently goes off on rambling tangents, cheerfully oblivious to how annoyed the people around him are. |
| 276 | * In ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' The Garatron was talking like this- "Iamconductinganinspectionon Website/TVTropes - andamquitedisappointedthatIhavenotyetbeenmentionedonthispage... Iwillreportthisdefeciencytomysuperiorsandbepromotedformyefforts." |
| 277 | * While it doesn't come across nearly as well in the printed word, Literature/BetsyTheVampireQueen in the works of Mary Janice Davidson is a definite Motor Mouth. At least once, another character noted that not needing to breathe helped Betsy immensely on that score. |
| 278 | * [[RebelliousPrincess Eilonwy]] from ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfPrydain'' is so talkative, that in a scene where the other protagonists were simply tied up, she ends up BoundAndGagged. |
| 279 | * Literature/CodexAlera: Tavi doesn't really come across as one to the reader, but Kitai does complain "do you ever stop talking?" after kissing him near the end of the second book. |
| 280 | * In ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': |
| 281 | ** Detritus, from ''Literature/MenAtArms'' gets this when his brain cools down enough. |
| 282 | ** Within the ''Discworld'' universe, Moist Von Lipwig appears to be the king of this. In ''Literature/MakingMoney'' he comments on it both in internal monologue ("I wish I could write this down, I don't think I'll remember it all") and in dialogue. Then it gets dialed up under the influence of the herbal drink Splot, which makes his speech sound like every syllable is attempting to escape his mouth at the same time. |
| 283 | * The ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' setting of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |
| 284 | ** The tinker gnomes, a ''race'' of Motor Mouths. A gnome's full name consists of his entire family tree and a list of accomplishments by his relations and can take months to fully pronounce -- though they usually refer to themselves by shortened versions that only take about half an hour. Three guesses as to why they call their ancestral home [[NameDar "Mount Nevermind"]]... |
| 285 | ** Also, a Second Edition fey race called Quicklings were apparently on fast forward all the time, to the point that they had to consciously slow down their speech to be intelligible to humans. [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Not that they cared.]] |
| 286 | * In ''Literature/GoodOmens'', the Chattering Order of Saint Beryl is a [[spoiler:satanic]] covenant of Motormouth nuns. Their namesake was blessed with the miraculous ability to chatter continuously without pause for breath or food, as a way to preserve her virtue in an unwilling arranged marriage. She lasted three days before her husband strangled her. |
| 287 | * Hermione Granger from ''Literature/HarryPotter'' was so excited to be going to Hogwarts in her first year, she talked very fast indeed. |
| 288 | %% * La Falvine from ''{{Literature/Malevil}}'' is guilty of this. At best it's vocal white noise. |
| 289 | %% * In ''Literature/MaximumRide'', Nudge is the perfect example. |
| 290 | * In ''Literature/ThePaleKing'': |
| 291 | ** Garrity haunts Post 047 by randomly appearing before examiners and talking non-stop. |
| 292 | ** Meredith, once she gets going. Some of her coworkers ''prefer examining tax returns'' to listening to her talk. |
| 293 | %% * Shulamith Ploni in one story by Creator/EphraimKishon. Combined with NoPunctuationPeriod. |
| 294 | * [[Literature/{{Psmith}} Rupert Psmith]] in Creator/PGWodehouse's novels. [[BlatantLies "I'm a man of few words myself."]] |
| 295 | * Sigfried Smith from ''Literature/RachelGriffin'' tends to ramble on verbosely when the topic is fighting, fire, blowing stuff up, having his dragon blow stuff up, mounting rocket bays on one's FlyingBroomstick, etc. |
| 296 | * ''Literature/RainbowMagic'': In [[Literature/RainbowMagicAmberTheOrangeFairy Amber]]'s book, upon being rescued, Amber asks the girls a barrage of questions in quick succession, since she doesn't have many people to talk to. |
| 297 | * ''{{Literature/Redwall}}'': |
| 298 | ** The entire sparrow race talks like this. |
| 299 | ** ''Marlfox'''s Burble has them beat, to the point that his tribe say the river will stop burbling before Burble does. |
| 300 | %% * Literature/SherlockHolmes does this A LOT. |
| 301 | * Tahiri in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse was like this as a kid and young teenager; her best friend Anakin Solo even noted that her presence in the Force felt like someone talking very fast without pausing for breath. Following a SplitPersonalityMerge and becoming a HalfHumanHybrid of sorts (long story) she became somewhat quieter, albeit still with a playfully snarky sense of humor. |
| 302 | * In the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' book ''Crookedstar's Promise'', Crookedstar's apprentice Sedgepaw speaks rapidly, to the point that he asks her to slow down and she even admits that she talks too much... before continuing to "chatter like a blackbird" in more run-on sentences. |
| 303 | * Mac from the ''Literature/WaysideSchool'' books would often tell long, pointless stories in class that had little to do with what Mrs. Jewels' lecture was about. It would get so bad, Mrs. Jewels would run out of time, forcing her to assign the lesson as homework. [[NeverMyFault Mac would later complain that she assigned more homework than any teacher at the school.]] |
| 304 | * In ''Literature/TheBabysittersClub'' book "Claudia and the Perfect Boy", one of the boys that Claudia fizzles out on a date with ends up happily dating a girl nicknamed "Motor Mouth Montey" (turns out that he dislikes making small talk so much that a girl who can communicate at the speed of light is his ideal). |
| 305 | * Violet Beauregarde in ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', which ties in well with her gum chewing habit (i.e., her mouth won't quit moving). Adaptations that seize on this are [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory the 1971 film version]] and the [[Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory 2013 stage musical]]; in the latter her introductory song is a BoastfulRap that notes that her chewing habit started because her mom was desperate to keep her quiet by putting ''something'' in her mouth. |
| 306 | * Aline Penhallow from ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' talks a lot, and according to Clary is one of those people who says whatever comes to mind. |
| 307 | * Razz in ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'' talks quickly, loudly and constantly. His cousin Cindy even more so, when she's talking Razz himself can't get a word in. |
| 308 | * [[MeaningfulName Mr. Chatterbox]] from the ''Literature/MrMen'' books of course. The same goes for his sister, Little Miss Chatterbox. ("You should have seen it when they got together!" says the {{narrator}}. "You couldn't get a word in edgewise! Or lengthwise! Or any-wise!") |
| 309 | * Shao Tian is a pro-e-sports player from ''Literature/TheKingsAvatar'' who is so chatty that the Pro League changed the rules on conversations during matches just to prevent his constant chattering from disrupting the players. |
| 310 | * In ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', the Slothful are so busy running off their laziness in Purgatory that they have to speak very quickly when Dante and Virgil come to learn from them. Dante simulates the speed of their speech by taking the average 300 lines reserved for each terrace of Purgatory and condensing it to about 60 lines for the Sloth terrace, with only 20 of those lines being dialogue from those too inactive to pursue good. |
| 311 | * ''Literature/ScavengerAlliance'': One of Tad's NoSocialSkills traits, to the extent that the tag on his knife belt is a picture of an open mouth, and Donnell soon starts calling him "the mouth". He rarely stops talking, [[spoiler:probably because he's used to his web supplying information as soon as he wonders about it]]. Blaze muses at one point that if she'd let him be pushed off the roof, he'd still have been asking questions on the way down. |
| 312 | * ''Literature/NinaTanleven'': ''The Ghost in the Third Row'' has costume designer Eileen Taggert, who has a tendency to babble on and on. |

| 316 | * Wrestling/JimCornette, manager of Wrestling/TheMidnightExpress. Once he got going there was no shutting him up, compounded by the fact that he yells at about two hundred decibels or so. He had to be either a former auctioneer, or he missed his calling with it. Observe [[https://youtu.be/4n2jOzK9D54 this promo]] about Wrestling/TheVarsityClub and see if you can keep up... He developed the motormouth shtick because he got used to having more interview time before switching promotions in '85. |
| 317 | * [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] combines this with TheUnintelligible, as he will talk very fast with a mixture of words and utter gibberish, though, like most wrestling promos, his usually boil down to him saying he is going to defeat whoever his opponent is that night. |
| 318 | ** After he broke the [[ArtifactOfDoom Eye of Tyr]] at the beginning of the 2012 Season Premiere ''Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} The Thirteenth Hat'', January 28, 2012, he spoke in a coherent, intelligible manner and at a normal pace. He would still speak his usual way out of CHIKARA, though. |

| 324 | * ''Series/SesameStreet'': |
| 325 | ** Biff the Construction Worker talks like this, much to the ire of his best friend and co-worker, Sully, who can't get a word out because of it. |
| 326 | ** Also from ''Sesame Street'', [[https://youtu.be/KoYyOov5DI8 Bushman Bill]] in the "Be My D" music video sketch. |

| 332 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Mercury dragons speak so quickly that their AD&D rules give them only a 75% chance of being understood by listeners. |
| 333 | %% * Tachyon from ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' sometimes lapses into this. Then again, it's a JustifiedTrope because she possesses SuperSpeed. |
| 334 | %% * Creator/PhilFoglio's ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie'' comic in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' #67 (November 1982) had [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20070715 an example]] (see the last two panels). |
| 335 | * The harpies (who are, unlike their mythical counterpart, anthropomorphic bats) in the Swedish game ''Gondica'' have a language that lacks stops between words, consisting of really meaningful shrieking. When they learn to speak the languages of non-harpies, they have a very hard time to actually make pauses, and a typical harpy quote is said to be "[=WhatdoyoumeanImspeakingtooquickly?=]". |

| 340 | * In the musical ''Film/TheWitchesOfEastwick'', Suki begins the song ''Words, Words, Words'' as a shy little stutterer. By the time she's halfway through the song, she's speedtalking/-singing. |
| 341 | * Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'': |
| 342 | ** The ModernMajorGeneral's song gets a lampshade hung on by the end, with everyone excitedly calling for the General to do it ''even faster!'' |
| 343 | ** Gilbert and Sullivan did this again in the patter trio "My Eyes Are Fully Open" for ''Theatre/{{Ruddigore}}'', later [[https://youtu.be/rQGrQPZMLK8 adapted into ''Pirates of Penzance''.]] |
| 344 | ** "The Speed Test" from ''Thoroughly Modern Millie'', which is to the tune of the ''Ruddigore'' song. And then they do a double-time reprise. |
| 345 | * In Samuel Beckett's ''Not I'', in which a disembodied mouth recites well over four thousand words of text, one of Beckett's only rules was that while the pronunciation had to be as clear and precise as possible, the actress could never recite it fast enough, saying that it had to be "at the speed of thought". This is especially challenging since the play is composed entirely of sentence fragments that just jolt from one to the next without much connecting logic. A good performance lasts about eight to twelve minutes. |
| 346 | * Another Beckett play, Theatre/WaitingForGodot, has one of the most well-known examples in theatre when silent put-upon Lucky is ordered to think: |
| 347 | -->'''Lucky''': Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell and suffers like the divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent is better than nothing but not so fast and considering what is more that as a result of the labours left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the labours of men that as a result of the labours unfinished of Testew and Cunard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labours of Fartov and Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown of Testew and Cunard left unfinished it is established what many deny that man in Possy of Testew and Cunard that man in Essy that man in short that man in brief in spite of the strides of alimentation and defecation is seen to waste and pine waste and pine and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown in spite of the strides of physical culture the practice of sports such as tennis football running cycling swimming flying floating riding gliding conating camogie skating tennis of all kinds dying flying sports of all sorts autumn summer winter winter tennis of all kinds hockey of all sorts penicilline and succedanea in a word I resume and concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown to shrink and dwindle in spite of the tennis I resume flying gliding golf over nine and eighteen holes tennis of all sorts in a word for reasons unknown in Feckham Peckham Fulham Clapham namely concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown but time will tell to shrink and dwindle I resume Fulham Clapham in a word the dead loss per caput since the death of Bishop Berkeley being to the tune of one inch four ounce per caput approximately by and large more or less to the nearest decimal good measure round figures stark naked in the stockinged feet in Connemara in a word for reasons unknown no matter what matter the facts are there and considering what is more much more grave that in the light of the labours lost of Steinweg and Peterman it appears what is more much more grave that in the light the light the light of the labours lost of Steinweg and Peterman that in the plains in the mountains by the seas by the rivers running water running fire the air is the same and then the earth namely the air and then the earth in the great cold the great dark the air and the earth abode of stones in the great cold alas alas in the year of their Lord six hundred and something the air the earth the sea the earth abode of stones in the great deeps the great cold an sea on land and in the air I resume for reasons unknown in spite of the tennis the facts are there but time will tell I resume alas alas on on in short in fine on on abode of stones who can doubt it I resume but not so fast I resume the skull to shrink and waste and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown in spite of the tennis on on the beard the flames the tears the stones so blue so calm alas alas on on the skull the skull the skull the skull in Connemara in spite of the tennis the labours abandoned left unfinished graver still abode of stones in a word I resume alas alas abandoned unfinished the skull the skull in Connemara in spite of the tennis the skull alas the stones Cunard tennis... the stones... so calm... Cunard... unfinished... |
| 348 | * While the example of Violet in ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' is noted above under Booksthatyouread, in the [[Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory 2013 musical adaptation]] this trope also applies to Willy Wonka. The first song in Act Two, "Strike That, Reverse It", is a PatterSong / SettingOffSong in which Mr. Wonka breezes his way through introductions with each of the Golden Ticket tour group members, lays down some ground rules, and has the kids' guardians sign confusing contracts. He goes so quickly that (in an InternalHomage to the [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory 1971 movie]]) he keeps switching around words and correcting himself upon realization of such. |
| 349 | * Motormouth Maybelle of ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'' is a notable and obvious example. Doubly so in the 2006 movie: while all her costars had difficulties with the speed of the finale "You Can't Stop the Beat", Queen Latifah (who played Maybelle) had no trouble, citing the fact that she's a rapper. |
| 350 | * Usnavi in ''Theatre/InTheHeights'', most notably in the "one dollar, two dollar" sequence in "In The Heights", and when he hits on Yolanda in "The Club". Lampshaded in the latter, when Usnavi assumes she's "the strong and silent type" as opposed to his "Caribbean island type" when it's more likely that she can't get in a word edgewise (and doesn't speak English). It's implied that Usnavi talks fast when he's nervous - almost all of his dialogue in "the Club" is rapid-fire, presumably because he's on a date with his long-time crush Vanessa, and the only time it's not is when he's talking to his best friend Benny. |
| 351 | * ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'': |
| 352 | ** The show deliberately set out to invoke this trope in tribute to the person on which it's based - while the real Hamilton wasn't necessarily known for speaking fast, he was sure as hell known for speaking a whole ''lot'', always cramming in as many words as he could into his speeches and letters. In order to get that many words into a single musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda, therefore, had to make it fast: and sure enough, it's one of the fastest musicals in theatre history, fitting over 20,000 words into two and a half hours. |
| 353 | ** Most famously, it has what may or may not be the fastest song to ever appear on Broadway with "Guns and Ships", which clocks in at 6.3 words per second on average, and a section of 19 words in '''3 seconds.''' All while the actor rapping jumps around on tables in full period clothing and an assumed French accent. [[https://youtu.be/Ovje92D742s It must be heard to believed.]] "Satisfied" and "Washington on Your Side" also have quickly-wrapped segments, but none so famous as "Guns and Ships". |
| 354 | ** In fact, the fast rapping is so common that it's notable when it doesn't happen: Eliza is the only non-minor character (i.e., excepting Maria and Peggy, who only appear for a song each) who never raps. As Phillipa Soo (who played her in the original Broadway cast) put it, this ties into the theme of how she was the only character who had what Hamilton (who 'writes like he's running out of time') never could get: time. |
| 355 | * The titular character of ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen'' can be prone to this. Evan is shown to ramble when he’s anxious, which is almost all the time. This is first shown in the first scene when his mom asks him why he didn’t order dinner the previous night, and he starts rambling about why even the thirty-second interaction of someone delivering food is too much for him to handle. This tendency is further shown when he has a conversation with Zoe, his crush, and his responses go a mile a minute and are frequently interrupted by himself. |
| 356 | * In the Broadway version of ''Theatre/TheSpongeBobMusical'', Plankton has a rapid-fire rap verse in "When the Going Gets Tough". Unfortunately, it's not on the cast album, which reflects the Chicago cast before it went to Broadway, but it is preserved in the televised version. |
| 357 | * ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'' has two. First is Bartolo's aria of "a un dottor della mia sorte", and second is Figaro's widely-referenced "Largo al factotum", which kicks into high gear for [[https://youtu.be/Dq_0wPYFp9A?t=253 the final section]]. |
| 358 | * In ''The Theatre/FarndaleAvenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', the cast are informed a few scenes before the end that they have to wrap the play up in under ten minutes or the adjudicator will disqualify them for going over time, which results in Macbeth rattling off the following scene (including the entire "Tomorrow and tomorrow" soliloquy) at high speed with a nary a pause for breath. |
| 359 | [[/folder]] |
| 360 | |
| 361 | [[folder:Gameswithvideo.]] |
| 362 | * ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': Wendy Oldbag tends to do this. When angered or annoyed, she'll often launch into a rant that both players and in-game characters have trouble keeping up with. During her introductory case, Edgeworth ''raises an objection'' just to get her to shut up, and the Judge sustains it. |
| 363 | ** Richard Wellington from the first case of ''Justice For All'' also does this a few times (usually when he's upset). |
| 364 | ** Then there's Wesley Stickler in ''Apollo Justice'', who combines this with a touch of SesquipedalianLoquaciousness. |
| 365 | * ''VideoGame/{{Anachronox}}'' features Grumpos Matavastros, a grumpy old man and scientist whose world (non-combat) skill is 'yammer.' Play a mini-game to fill his lungs and he'll spout off about 3 pages of run-on sentence, causing whoever was standing in your way to get annoyed and wander off. |
| 366 | * ''VideoGame/AncientDomainsOfMystery'' has quicklings. They spew out their chat lines without any spaces. That's as close to this trope as it's possible in a roguelike. It might be justified -- in the game, a "speed" value is assigned to all beings. The base speed of a player character of any race is 100. A basic quickling's is 400, and it only goes up with rank. |
| 367 | * ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': Shaw does this in ALL of her voice lines. |
| 368 | -->'''Shaw''': [=WhenIstartspeaking sometimesIcan'tstop. Ihopeyouforgiveme, Chief... *sob*...=] |
| 369 | %% * Gretchen Hasselhoff of ''VideoGame/BackyardSports''. |
| 370 | * Konoe Kikyo in ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault''. A young kunoichi from the Black Blades squad, she is usually [[ShrinkingViolet so shy]] that she [[TheQuietOne never speaks a word]]. However, when disguised as someone else, she turns into such a motor mouth that even her English dialogue text features no spaces or punctuation between the words, exactly like the folder titles on this very page. |
| 371 | * In ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'', Cortex is one of these momentarily, thanks to the Evil Twins' reality-warping powers. |
| 372 | --> '''Cortex''': I will-\ |
| 373 | '''Moritz''' (dismissively): Bo-riiing!\ |
| 374 | '''Cortex''': Ishallcrushyoulikethepunyruntsyouare, youarenothingtomeforIamthegreatandallpowerfulNeoCortex! Howdareyoumock, manhandleandmanipulateme! Restassured, Iwilltakemyterriblevengeanceupon... ''[He stops, panting heavily.]'' |
| 375 | %% * ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' has a song called "Super Star", by DJ Rich, where the second verse is unhearably fast. |
| 376 | * In ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective: A Fumble in the Dark'', Devon the Bloodwolf speaks in long run-on sentences with no internal punctuation such as commas that would indicate a pause for breath. |
| 377 | * Storm Spirit in ''VideoGame/Dota2'' ''never'' shuts up. He constantly zips around the stage taunting you saying, "I'm over heeere!", "Zaaap!", "Where's the party?", "I'm over here now", "Puddin pop!", "Bloooow the man down!". |
| 378 | * Merrill from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. Several times throughout the game she says "I'm babbling again. [[ShuttingUpNow I'll shut up now.]]" |
| 379 | * Unintentionally, ''everyone'' in ''VideoGame/FarCry2''. Most of the dialogue in this game is spoken at just above a whisper, and all of it at a very high rate of speed. |
| 380 | %% * Tobli from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' is definitely this. |
| 381 | * ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Yanfei is something of a fast talker and has noticeably wordier voice lines compared to other characters. She's aware of it and in one of her stories acknowledges that, after she brings peace to the world through law, those skills would make her a good rapper. |
| 382 | * ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': When Korwa is agitated or frustrated, she rattles off whatever she's thinking at breakneck speed with no regard to who's listening. |
| 383 | * In ''VideoGame/GrandiaII'', (not actually done audibly and kept only in text dialogue) when the party reaches Roan's castle the first time, one of the ladies-in-waiting who serves as the castle guide has a rather unique way of giving directions -- she takes a deep breath, then babbles out the entire guide to the requested specific place in the castle as quickly as possible in one breath. |
| 384 | * ''[[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Guilty Gear Xrd]]'': |
| 385 | ** Bedman doesn't talk at all during battles, but his quotes upon losing/winning a match or getting hit with certain instant kill moves are extremely long and spoken at a high speed. His reaction to the cutesy facial he receives courtesy of Faust's instant kill move, in particular, is so long that he's still talking while the announcer declares the winner and barely manages to finish before the next round starts. |
| 386 | ** From the same game, all of Elphelt's win poses and win quotes in which she takes out her marriage certificate and starts rambling for 15 seconds long before she gets a nosebleed. This even puts her at the same level as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Rufus]]' talking. |
| 387 | ** There are rarely moments in which Answer's on-screen and not talking, due to him continuously taking business calls during his fights. His reactions to May's Instant Kill in particular have him talking a mile a minute as he tries to wrap up his current phone call as quickly as possible before he [[TwinkleInTheSky blasts off.]] |
| 388 | ** May's Instant Kill in general tends to turn most characters into this as they desperately try to talk their way out of it (or just ramble in general). |
| 389 | * Nomi-Nomi in ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'' gushes about their interests so fast, they need to take deep breaths between them. |
| 390 | * ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade'': Daxter isn't a slow talker to begin with, but the race contract scene cranks it up a notch, with only one audible breath in the whole thing - and it's especially impressive because Creator/MaxCasella improvised the whole spiel at around two words a second. |
| 391 | -->'''Daxter:''' We the racers hereby agree to give Krew all proceeds from race earnings, endorsement fees, broadcast royalties, syndication residuals, vehicle sponsorships, mall appearance fees, collectible card assets, fast food tie-ins, use of likeness rights, talk show deals, clothing lines, all print rights including book, novella, comic, pamphlet, ticker tape, neon sign and bathroom graffiti designs, (breathes in) toy rights, shoe lines, mood rings, game rights — [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall GAME RIGHTS?!]] — vitamin endorsements, city kickbacks, movie deals, and of course, all death and dismemberment accident insurance claims.\ |

| 396 | * Hyness from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' flies into a long, [[MotiveRant hard-to-read rant about his plans]] to [[spoiler:revive Void Termina]] in a high speed when he's being confronted by Kirby. This is the first sign [[MaskOfSanity there's something off]] about this seemingly menacing and serious hooded figure. |
| 397 | * ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'': Volteer is known for his motor mouth, evidently due to being an electric dragon. It also doesn't help that he uses really big words. |
| 398 | * ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'': |
| 399 | ** [[DeadlyDoctor Mordin Solus]]. Combines with TerseTalker and ThinkingOutLoud. Frequently annoys Shepard. Telling Mordin to slow down will result in him... trying... to... slow... down... nothat'stakingtoolonghaveworktodo. In fact, the game offers ''multiple'' paragon/renegade interruptions aimed at shutting him up. |
| 400 | ** Many salarians share this trait; hyperactivity innate part of salarian biology. (Presumably, any who talk at standard speed catering to sluggish-thinking aliens. Or, in the case of Captain Kirrahe, talking at normal speed because that RousingSpeech wouldn't have worked at normal salarian speed). A large part of it has to do with the fact that salarians have an average lifespan of 40 years. If you were on that tight of a deadline, you'd hurry up too. |
| 401 | ** Tali also has a tendency to talk very quickly when she's nervous which she describes as being a defensive mechanism. If the player decided to pursue her romantically, her flustered, rapid-fire delivery is made very apparent and she acknowledges this as being a defense mechanism in the moments that [[spoiler:lead up to the consummation of Shepard and Tali's relationship]]. |
| 402 | %% ** ''[[{{DLC}} Citadel]]'' unexpectedly reveals that this happens to [[ConsummateProfessional Kaidan]] when he's hopped up on coffee. |
| 403 | %% ** Peebee, from ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', especially once she gets going. |
| 404 | * ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' has an odd example with the character N. In his first appearance, your childhood friend comments on how he talks too fast, but his actual speech is normally spaced, even with ellipses. In-game, his dialogue text just appears really fast; even if you have the message scrolling speed set to fast, his comes out ''faster''. Can be justified in the fact that [[spoiler:N grew up isolated from society, and as a result, has NoSocialSkills]]. |
| 405 | * This trait seems to be prevalent in all personality cores in ''VideoGame/Portal2''. |
| 406 | ** RobotBuddy [[IdiotBall Wheatley]] has apparently decided to make up for [[HeroicMime Chell's]] [[SilentProtagonist muteness]] by never, ''ever'' shutting up, talking continuously whenever there's a quiet moment that allows him to get up some momentum. There's nearly ''six hours'' of dialogue in the game for Wheatley ''alone!'' |
| 407 | ** The Fact Core spews a continuous stream of "facts" in rapid succession. Some are believable, others... [[BlatantLies not so much]]. |
| 408 | --->''The square root of rope is string.\ |
| 409 | Fact: Space does not exist.\ |
| 410 | Cellular phones will not give you cancer. Only hepatitis.'' |
| 411 | ** The Adventure Core (or Rick) continuously flirts with Chell, boasts about his adventures, and comments on how bad the situation looks. |
| 412 | ** The [[TalkativeLoon Space Core]] does nothing but talk about space, gets excited about space, and demands you listen to him about how much [[https://youtu.be/BVn1oQL9sWg he loves space]]. |
| 413 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'', most of Eleanor's dialogue are paragraphs, and she speaks so fast that Isabelle mentions her ears bending from listening to her. |
| 414 | * ''VideoGame/{{Shojo to Maou to Tactics}}'': Erisu Vanstein can talk ''really'' fast, as the trailer for ''~Maou Soudatsusen~'' demonstrates. |
| 415 | * Marine the Raccoon from ''VideoGame/SonicRushAdventure'' is something of a Motor Mouth, while fitting in every single piece of [[LandDownUnder Australian slang]] ever conceived. |
| 416 | %% ** Cubot from ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', especially near the end. |
| 417 | * In the second ''VideoGame/SpyFox'' game, Fox comes across an excitable young lad named Elmo. Elmo is such a motor mouth that during their first conversation Fox tells him, completely seriously, "Breath, now!" |
| 418 | %% * Not a specific character trait in ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'', but a learnable fighting skill to the magic using characters to be faster in combat. |
| 419 | * In ''VisualNovel/StrawberryVinegar'', Rie's father after Licia returns with Rie from her first day of school. |
| 420 | -->'''Dad:''' [=RieLiciawelcomebackImissedyousomuchhowwasschooldidyouhaveagoodfirstdayanddidRietakecareofyouandidyoumakeanynewfriendsIhopeyouhadagoodtimeandeverythingwentwellmaybeitwashardifJapaneseisnotyourfirstlanguagebutImsureyoutriedyourbestandImveryproudofyou!!!=] |
| 421 | * Rufus from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' doesn't know when to shut up. Just look at his win quotes -- while everyone else has up to two lines of text in big, easy-to-read font, Rufus has ''three'' lines of font ''half the size'' text that positively stuffs the text box to the point of bursting. |
| 422 | * Sieg in ''VideoGame/SuikodenTierkreis'' fits this perfectly (at least in the English version), who is a talkative hero [[HeroicMime unlike any protagonist]] from the other games in the series. [[https://youtu.be/-rNCbEtB1YU He goes out with a bang.]] Some suggest this was a solution to save space on the DS cartridge. |
| 423 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 424 | ** Done ''hilariously'' in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''. A [[TheGoomba goomba]] who generally simply repeats the last word of the previous speaker's sentence suddenly starts talking. And talking. NONSTOP. After he's done, everyone stands around in stunned silence for a few seconds until his supervisor simply says "Whoa." |
| 425 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'': [[https://youtu.be/CYO7eMakuF8 The commercial DK is watching]] is voice-acted, most likely, as a parody of the Micro Machines commercials mentioned above in the "Commercials" section. |
| 426 | ---> ''"It's the amazing new Mini Mario toy! It walks, it talks, it says 'Mamma mia!'! Each one comes with its own crystal ball! Collect one, collect them all! Be the first one on your block to own the new Mini Mario toy! Hurry, before they're all sold out! Buy one, buy them all! [[MindControlEyes Buy them all... buy them all..."]]'' |

| 428 | ** The series may be full of SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic right down to their original soundtrack but wait when you hear the vocal arrangements by various doujin circles out there especially [[https://youtu.be/X-N6YxVgjok these]] [[https://youtu.be/5HlgDj-dQpY two]]. |
| 429 | ** This is also an ability noted for all magicians under [[MagicLibrarian Patchouli's]] entry in ''[[AllThereInTheManual Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''. The girl in question has a little trouble with that due to her asthma, though. |
| 430 | * The gibberish in the song "BABY BABY!!" from ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' and its soundtrack album ''Music/MakeItSweet'' is a whole lot of sounds sung extremely fast in a short period of time, represented in the lyrics as "#$%^&!" |
| 431 | * Cameo Leon from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe 2'', who has a bad habit of blabbing [[MadScientist Dr. Kranken]] and [[LegionOfDoom Gedow's]] evil plans to the heroes. Even his ''dying words'' go a mile a minute. |
| 432 | %% * Colette in ''VideoGame/WildArms2''. |
| 433 | * Another Day's Pin Prof from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'': |
| 434 | -->'''Shooter:''' Wow, you know all about pins?\ |
| 435 | '''Pin Prof:''' A bit. See, first of all: you say pins? I say sharp design. All those tiny little graphics, framed in tiny little circles...

| 441 | [[folder:Animationsspecificallymadefortheinternet.]] |
| 442 | * As the title would suggest, this is a staple of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation.'' Yahtzee edits out his pauses to achieve this effect. |
| 443 | * ''WebAnimation/StoryTimeAnimated'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2QZo_ju_d4 Kara]] talks non-stop ever since she was 6 months old. Her parents took her to the doctor who diagnosed her with a talking disorder and recommended that she takes deep breaths so she would stop talking as much. When that didn't work, Kara's parents took her to her grandfather's farm. |
| 444 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': |
| 445 | ** Ruby tends toward this when she's nervous or excited. It's especially noticeable whenever she waxes lyrical about weapons as she considers herself a weapons geek. If given a chance to talk about her dream job, she tends to start talking non-stop as well as she thinks the world of becoming a Huntress. |
| 446 | ** Nora doesn't seem to have an off-switch when she gets going. She's even accompanied by her own unique zany music score to show when she's in full flow. She's first introduced trying to plan how she and her childhood friend Ren can make sure they end up on the same team together: not even cleaning teeth or eating breakfast can stop her talking. |
| 447 | ** Dr. Oobleck's lectures and speeches when he gets to talking about history, geography, or any other subject he's knowledgeable about getting fast to the point of being almost impossible for either his students or the audience to follow. |
| 448 | * ''WebAnimation/FreedomToons'': Ben Shapiro is humorously portrayed as this more so than usual. |
| 449 | -->'''Dr. Mac:''' Are--are you speeding this guy up? I can barely understand him.\ |
| 450 | '''Assistant:''' Speeding him up?! Mac, we're playing him in slow motion! |
| 451 | * Peter, the titular character of ''WebAnimation/PeteraDzive'', narrates each episode at a very fast pace. As a result, he goes through his story humorously quickly, and the episodes never go over 60 seconds. |
| 452 | * {{Inverted}} with Kanade Otonose from ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}''. One of her traits is her tendency to slowly and loudly enunciate every word. This has led to commenters half-jokingly stating that watching her videos at 1.5x playback is a prerequisite as it makes her sound like she's talking normally. |
| 453 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': In the ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'' "caffeine", Strong Sad becomes far more talkative than normal when he's on a caffeine buzz. |
| 454 | -->'''Strong Sad:''' I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! I feel bad. I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs! |
| 455 | * ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': "TOAD!THERE'SABOMBTHATSGOINGTOEXPLODEUNLESSWEFINDAVAULTWITHMONEY!" |
| 456 | * Cheese from ''WebAnimation/ObjectLand'' always speaks like this. |
| 457 | * ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' has this in spades, especially with Red. They truly show this of when Red summarizes ''notorious'' DoorStopper ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42W6axXrIuw 1 minute]], and Blue later does the same with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07ed76rbzOc the War of the Roses]] (Blue artificially speeds up his voice a bit to make it, Red does not). |

| 498 | * Rachel of ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' doesn't know when to shut up, and will blab various secrets and give out too much information. |
| 499 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 500 | ** Dave has a tendency to send so many consecutive text messages that other characters may leave the conversation, come back, and find him still going on by himself. His [[NoPunctuationIsFunnier typing style]] doesn't help. |
| 501 | ** [[SoapBoxSadie Kankri]], who the first time we see him his text eventually becomes so long it's impossible to READ. Then turns into three of the same. |
| 502 | ** Karkat's [[HairTriggerTemper rants]] often turn into this, complete with [[ClusterFBomb a truly impressive amount of profanity]]. It's probably a Vantas family trait. |
| 503 | ** Resident [[MrExposition Exposition Girl]] Aranea also tends to go on a bit, to the point of delivering a several-pages-long InfoDump on leprechaun romance for seemingly no reason whatsoever, and eventually, [[AttentionWhore actively paying other characters to listen to her]]. She, like Kankri, is almost a parody of this trope. |

| 505 | * Zordon, aka [[MeaningfulName the babbling village idiot]], in ''Webcomic/AHateStory'' doesn't actually need to breathe, so once he gets started on his WallOfText, he won't stop until someone interrupts him with a BigShutUp. |
| 506 | * In ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'', once Jordan gets more sure of herself, she starts talking and doesn't stop, to Norah's increasing annoyance. |
| 507 | * Parodied in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick.'' One comic has Haley engaging in an internal dialogue with the personification of her self-loathing, while Elan is in the background of every panel saying "BlahBlahBlah". Turns out he was ''actually'' saying "Blah Blah Blah," to set a new record for the number of times he could say it in a row. |
| 508 | ** Veldrina in "Invitation Only": |

| 510 | * ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': It can be hard to get Sigrun to stop talking once she gets going, to the point that Mikkel frequently has trouble getting his advice in without getting interrupted. |
| 511 | * Sydney from ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-910-jabber-blabber/ gets injected]] with a TruthSerum and it seems to [[WallOfBlather react badly]] with her [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny ADHD]].[[note]] Actual 'truth serums' make you more inclined to talk (with no filters).

| 512 | --> '''Goon''': ''What the hell did you inject her with?'' |
| 513 | * Rowan from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' is a careless guy who talks constantly, and his speciality in battle is both verbally hyping himself up and [[TheTrickster effortlessly mixing lies with the truth]] to make himself seem more intimidating. Even his friends sometimes zone out when he starts talking too much. |

| 517 | * Scrambler of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' is a speedster, and has the standard tendency to talk at a hundred miles an hour and overlook what everyone else is saying. And heaven forbid she's talking about Stephenie Meyer books or something else she loves. |
| 518 | * The ''Jade Regent'' Campaign from Podcast/{{RPGMP3}} features a character called Spivey, a [[http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Lyrakien Lyrakien]] Cleric of [[http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Desna Desna]]. Spivey used to live in a cemetery, until the [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] came by. She then joined their caravan and followed them on their quest, quickly earning the nickname "[[FairyCompanion Death Pixie]]", since most of her skills were focused on graveyard maintenance, at that point. She's always flitting around, [[SidekickCreatureNuisance dispensing invaluable moral advice]] and trying to get the [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] to [[GroupHug be nicer to each other]]. |

| 540 | %% ** Nearly all of Creator/DougWalker's characters exhibit this at some point. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick is also this when she's ranting, explaining or, more rarely, excited. |
| 541 | * LetsPlay/TearOfGrace's commentary style is basically this, [[PungeonMaster combined]] [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny a]] [[FloweryInsults few]] [[StockBritishPhrases other]] [[VisualPun elements]]. |
| 542 | * Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, of Website/YouTube fame, has this as his SignatureStyle. He is seemingly incapable of not talking for more than a few seconds at a time, and his stream of consciousness frequently goes off on AttentionDeficitOohShiny and {{Metaphorgotten}} tangents. It tends to be most noticeable at the end of his video segments when he points out the links to various other videos and promotions and rattles off his closing catchphrases. |
| 543 | * In ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': |
| 544 | ** The Bard as portrayed by George Watsky ''definitely'' qualifies. The following was said in about 15 seconds: |

| 558 | * The river-spirit Maidin of ''{{Literature/Moonflowers}}'' is a talkative young man, as well as [[CloudCuckooLander a pretty spacey]] member of TheFairFolk. His dialogue lasts for ''at least'' a paragraph at a time, and he's often reminded to get back on subject when he goes off on tangents. |

| 567 | * Red from ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' has a reputation for this, more as a personal trait than as a gimmick. Taken to its logical conclusion in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42W6axXrIuw this video]], where she summarizes ''Literature/{{The Mahabharata}}''[[note]]Often considered the longest poem ever, being 1.8 million words and about ten times longer than ''Literature/TheIliad'' and ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' combined[[/note]] in one minute. |

| 572 | * ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': |
| 573 | ** Just don't get Lyra started on Aldor... or anything, really. |
| 574 | ** Jester Lavorre from the Second Campaign. Especially apparent whenever she uses the Sending spell which has a 25-word limit. She is often only through introduction and half of the real questiin when the spell cuts her off. |
| 575 | * Karim Debbache, host of ''WebVideo/{{Crossed}}'' usually talks fast enough to give this effect while remaining intelligible. He enumerates (after taking a deep breath) ''some'' of the flaws of what he describes as "the worst scene in cinema history" in his review of ''Film/HouseOfTheDead''. |
| 576 | * ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'': Tommy speaks very quickly, which, combined with his tendency to just say everything that comes to mind, means he can spend ages just talking. He also cuts himself off mid-sentence a lot, leading to quotes that sound like he's trying to have three conversations at once. |
| 577 | -->'''Tommy:''' Anyway– God, these walls, you need to get them sorted out, hey, that's why– no, that's not why I'm here, I need to start being more honest. I'm thinking out loud a lot these days, Technoblade!\ |

| 579 | * ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'': In Episode 45, Gordon mows down soldiers to the [[MajorGeneralSong Major General's Song]] and comprises a new verse to it ''on the fly''. In that same episode, he kills another squad of soldiers whilst doing a [[ValleyGirl Valley Girl]] impersonation, all while avoiding being hit by a Bradley IFV's rocket. Again, on the fly. |
| 580 | -->''WHERE'S MY CHORUS?!'' |

| 582 | * Matt of ''WebVideo/MysteryScienceTheaterF1'' tends to speak very quickly sometimes, especially when narrating the start of races. |
| 583 | * ''WebVideo/OriginsSMP'': Aimsey rattles off on a long tangent bragging about their accomplishments while introducing themself to Bek. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xBA9bopMsM&t=400s Bek's episode]] lampshades it by transcribing said tangent as one overly-long sentence. |

| 587 | * Mike Rugnetta of ''WebVideo/PBSIdeaChannel'' tends to talk very breathlessly throughout most of his videos. |
| 588 | * ''WebVideo/PokemonPals'': Ash isn't quite as bad as some, but he does talk a lot, especially when he starts listing things. Misty becomes concerned with him when he hasn't talked for hours, saying that he usually can't stop for more than five minutes. |

| 591 | |
| 592 | [[folder:Animatedcartoonsmadeinthewesternworld.]] |
| 593 | * Key-per and Booko from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' are both able to talk so fast that it becomes difficult to understand the words. Double points for the Key-per being voiced by John Moschitta, Jr. (see above) |
| 594 | %% * [[https://youtu.be/lali1IWW0H0 Bigmouth Koopa Jr.]] (AKA: Morton Koopa, Jr.) from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' would talk like this at all times, often causing him to suffer physical abuse from his BigBrotherBully, Roy. |
| 595 | * Daggett does this in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' when he discovers a camera poking out of the sink. |
| 596 | -->'''Daggett:''' NORB! There'sanalieninvasioninthebathroom!\ |
| 597 | '''Norbert:''' ...What?\ |
| 598 | '''Daggett:''' THERE'SANALIENINVASIONINTHEBATHROOM!\ |
| 599 | '''Norbert:''' Woah, speak slowly and put spaces between your words.\ |
| 600 | '''Daggett:''' ''[takes a deep breath]'' There's an ''alien invasion'' in the ''bathroom.'' |
| 601 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': |
| 602 | ** One episode has the Warner Siblings having to put up with a man named Francis "Pip" Pumphandle (voiced by Ben Stein) who goes into a very long rambling monologue about cheese balls; his speech is soft but continuous as the Warners resort to ever more blatant methods to tell him goodbye. To say that he annoys them to no end would be putting it mildly. Ironically, when the guy ''finally'' decides to leave them alone at the end of the episode, the Warner's were so used to his endless babbling that they can't handle the quiet. |
| 603 | ** Yakko, aka Mr. United States Canada Mexico Panama, also fits this trope. |
| 604 | * The ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' episode "Revenge of the Chip" has D.W. having an ImagineSpot of her mother doing this as she lists off all the relatives she's sending an embarrassing newspaper clipping about D.W. to, complete with [[BodyHorror her head turning into a giant pair of talking lips]] as she babbles faster and faster. |
| 605 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': |
| 606 | ** While Aang is normally a {{Keet}}, he doesn't really slip into Motor Mouth all that much. When an Earth Kingdom General gives him the Avatar-verse equivalent of Red Bull in order to try and bring out the [[SuperMode Avatar State]], though: |
| 607 | --->'''Aang:''' [=IsitworkingisitworkingIcan'ttellsomebodytellmeifI'mintheAvatarState'causeIdon'thaveagoodviewofmyselfamItalkingtooloud?=] |
| 608 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' gives us Ikki, the middle child of three airbending children between a LittleMissSnarker older sister and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} younger brother, but is the more energetic and talkative of them to the point it annoys their father, Tenzin, and his rival, Tarllok. She never stops. She does, however, demonstrate HiddenDepths on Bolin when he tries [[DownplayedTrope a slightly subdued]] Motor Mouth spiel of questions which she manages to answer perfectly with pin-point accuracy. |
| 609 | * Luna from ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' has a very weird speech pattern, where if she starts to get upset, the rate at which she is talking rapidly accelerates mid-sentence. |
| 610 | * Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'', Molly normally talks at a regular speed, but when she's around kids her own age, she acts awkwardly around them and ends up talking too much and a little fast. In Season 1 "[[Recap/CentralParkS1E7SquirrelInterrupted Squirrel, Interrupted]]", Molly awkwardly asks Danny if she can play chess with him by saying too many words. Danny is concerned that Molly is going through some stuff and thinks she won't be able to concentrate if they play, but Molly ensures him this is the normal amount of words she says. |
| 611 | * ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' has Penfold, who just keeps talking in every episode. It's no wonder Danger Mouse's catchphrase is "Penfold, shush". |
| 612 | %% * Everybody in the ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "Mock 5", seeing how it makes fun of ''Anime/SpeedRacer'''s English dub. |
| 613 | * ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'': |
| 614 | ** Mrs. ''Pteranodon'' tells Buddy and Tiny that Petey ''Peteinosaurus'' is shy, so they're stunned when he bombards them with questions the first time they meet him. |
| 615 | ** Oren and Ollie ''Ornithomimus'' are fast-talkers, fitting with how [[SuperSpeed fast they generally are]]. |
| 616 | %% * One episode from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' when Timmy wishes for only dessert and everybody becomes hyper from the sugar rush the next day. |
| 617 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': |
| 618 | ** A cutaway shows that Cleveland was a fast-talking auctioneer, until a totem pole fell on his head, causing his current slow speech pattern. |
| 619 | ** In "I Dream of Jesus," when Peter was accusing others of having a motive for swiping his "Surfin' Bird" record, Peter talks this way when he describes his crazy theory about everyone against "the record." |
| 620 | * Goo from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', particularly when she becomes excited. And just to be clear, her voice was not sped up, Creator/GreyDelisle really can speak that fast. |
| 621 | * Mabel from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is noticeably much more talkative than her more introverted brother, Dipper, sometimes veering into this territory. |
| 622 | * The Blabbermouth of Echo Island from ''Westernanimation/HereComesTheGrump''. It's right there in the name, too. |
| 623 | %%* Pepper Potts in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures''. |
| 624 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In Episode 105, Kaeloo talks so quickly that her face turns blue from lack of oxygen. |
| 625 | * ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': |
| 626 | ** Boomhauer is a Motor Mouth to the point of also being TheUnintelligible. Although he's apparently unintelligible even when he slows down; in "Propane Boom", when the Mega-Lo-Mart explodes, he tries to call 911. Upon being asked to slow down, he says something like "That... dang... Meg... Lo... Mart... go... boom!" before fadeout. |
| 627 | ** Most of what he's saying is him simply separating nearly every word by the words "dang ol," "man," "talkinbout," or "tellyouwhat." What makes it funny is that Creator/MikeJudge supposedly based the character's method of talking from a phone message complaining about ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' (which he inexplicably called "Porky's Butthole"). |
| 628 | ** In "A Fire-Fighting We Will Go", [[RashomonStyle a flashback from his perspective]] shows Dale, Hank, and Bill talking like this while Boomhauer speaks normally. |
| 629 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': |
| 630 | ** Chuck Jones' lesser-known character Sniffles the mouse is quite the chatterbox. His {{Expy}} in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', Li'l Sneezer, tends to ramble as well, although not as consistently as Sniffles himself. |
| 631 | ** Charlie Dog -- topped by a scene in "A Hound for Trouble", while posing as a waiter at an Italian restaurant. A customer asks for a [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign dish with a really long name]], building up to a potential BluffTheImpostor moment. |
| 632 | --->'''Charlie:''' I'm-a sorry. We no got-a la bellatiaradelunocacciatoritetrozinacurobudemarinaradelapiazaregutinaemuzarellafina. *[[NoFourthWall Turns to the audience]], [[SubvertedTrope blows raspberry]]* |
| 633 | ** Friz Freleng's quite obscure 1940 character Little Blabbermouse fits this bill quite easily. His foil is a mouse avatar of W.C. Fields who conducts tours of a supermarket and a department store. After Freleng discarded the character, these traits got transplanted to the aforementioned Sniffles. |
| 634 | ** WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn also qualifies, though unlike a lot of... "I say", unlike a lot of other examples on this page, it's not so much that he talks really fast, it's more that he can never ''stop'' talking.[[note]]"Stop", that is.[[/note]] The prime example of Foggy's motor-mouthedness is "The Fractured Leghorn", where he refuses to stop talking and allow a barnyard cat to get a word in edgewise; the cat's frustration builds throughout the cartoon until he finally slams him with a BigShutUp -- but the motor-mouthed Foggy STILL won't stop talking, even holding back the IrisOut to get a few last words in! |
| 635 | ** The little rabbit Bugs Bunny protects from Pete Puma in "Rabbit's Kin" talks so fast that, combined with his extremely high-pitched voice, he is TheUnintelligible. |
| 636 | ** Bugs himself goes into an unintelligible run in "Racketeer Rabbit" when Rocky (a caricature of Edward G. Robinson) puts a gun to his head, demanding to know what Bugs did with the stolen money. |
| 637 | ** In "A Mouse Divided", Sylvester the cat has to protect his mouse son (ItMakesSenseInContext) from being taken by other alley cats. One such alley cat poses as a fast-talking vacuum cleaner salesman. |
| 638 | --->'''Cat''': [=GooddaysirIrepresenttheLittleGiantVacuumCleanerCompanyofWallaWallaWashingtonandifyouwatchcloselyyouwillnoticethepowerfulactionofthismachineasitremovescompletelyandforeverallforeignparticlesfromaroundtheroomIrealizethatyoumaynotbereadytopurchaseLittleGiantrightnowbutifyoueverdojustremembertheLittleGiantVacuumCleanerCompanyofWallaWallaWashington=]. |
| 639 | ** "The Windblown Hare" had the Big Bad Wolf read the Red Riding Hood story very fast-- his voice is even pitched up slightly to emphasize it. |
| 640 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'', Rev Runner's SuperSpeed is emphasized by having him talk super fast. |
| 641 | ** Lola Bunny in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''. She talks a mile-a-minute, and Bugs is easily annoyed by this. |
| 642 | * ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' has the self-explanatory Quick Man, who speaks like this in his rare few appearances. Oddly enough, he also takes long pauses between each of his sentences, so there are notable moments of silence in between strings of rapid-fire speech. |
| 643 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'': Little Miss Chatterbox, just like her counterpart from the books, talks a mile a minute. |
| 644 | * Phineas from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is always going on about ''something'', as a foil to his step-brother and HeterosexualLifePartner, [[TheQuietOne Ferb]]. The only time he's been shown to be quiet is when he is brainwashed (and that is [[spoiler: in a dream]]). |
| 645 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': Whizzer (a pink pegasus pony with three beany caps as a cutie mark) is generally portrayed this way in the original ''My Little Pony'', but it is inconsistent for the most part. Generally, though, she talks fast and flies fast. |
| 646 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 647 | ** Pinkie Pie is very prone to this: |
| 648 | --->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Isn't this exciting? Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for the time I saw you walking into town and I went ''{{gasp}}!'', but I mean really, who can top that? |
| 649 | ** Pinkie Pie was later ''weaponized'' in "The Last Roundup", where Applejack is forced to admit why she's working at a cherry orchard instead of coming home to Ponyville by being subjected to Pinkie Pie's incessant rambling about InherentlyFunnyWords. |
| 650 | ** Fluttershy can turn into one of these under the right circumstances (such as when first meeting Spike and when critiquing her first gala dress). |
| 651 | ** Discord sometimes has a tendency to speak somewhat quickly. |
| 652 | ** In the episode "No Second Prances", [[TheQuietOne Big Mac]] is turned into a motor mouth, to his horror, by Starlight Glimmer, since, as she put it, she couldn't make friends with someone who didn't talk much. Funnily enough, the flashback in "Where the Apple Lies" shows that Big Mac used to talk a ''lot'', to the point that none of his family could ever get a word in edgewise. He became famously monosyllabic in an attempt to listen to others more. |
| 653 | ** Autumn Blaze, an energetic {{Kirin}} from the episode "Sound Of Silence". She has become this due to years of being silent. Whenever she talks, she tends to talk as much as she can and even asks others to do the same. |
| 654 | ** Silverstream, a Hippogriff student to the School of Friendship in season 8, is very talkative when she gets excited, which is often, due to her MundaneObjectAmazement. |
| 655 | ** In the episode "She Talks to Angel", Angel Bunny starts spouting rapid-fire tongue twisters after going through a FreakyFridayFlip with Fluttershy. |
| 656 | * Jocko, a humanoid rooster introduced in the ''WesternAnimation/TheNeverendingStoryTheAnimatedAdventuresOfBastianBalthazarBux'' episode "Morla's Wish", is constantly rambling on and on with an endless array of never-ending stories. He ultimately admits that this has driven off pretty much everyone he's ever known and left him all alone. Ironically, this causes him and Morla to become best friends at their first meeting; Bastian even deduces that ''Jocko'' was the Childlike Empress' present to Morla. |
| 657 | * There are a few in ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. Dr Doofenschmirtz is most notable, as although he doesn't talk terribly fast, he is a champion rambler, and can go on at great length about whatever he is talking about, as well as frequently interrupting himself to question a turn of phrase, to explain details, or to go on a tangent. Vivian Garcia-Shapiro also applies, as she loves to chat, and can do so very fast. |
| 658 | %% * Niblet's little sister Rebound in ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010''. |
| 659 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'': |
| 660 | ** Mojo Jojo, always. He takes villainous rants to an art form, and never shuts up even when there's no-one around to listen to him. |
| 661 | ** Everyone in the special "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!" seems to suffer from this to the point where many lines cannot be understood. |
| 662 | * ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': Kaz. Here’s a sample of her dialogue: |
| 663 | -->'''Kaz''': ''(in a single breath)'' Well, that was loud but not as loud as a jackhammer I bet because those are loud enough to make you go crazy my dad says even though I heard one once and I myself am still perfectly sane. |
| 664 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet just loves to talk. He has enough breath in him to recite all the neighborhood stars and most of the moons of Jupiter. |
| 665 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': The Smith family, with their constant arguing between dialogue, especially Rick, best explained at the end of the pilot. |
| 666 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 667 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E2CapeFeare Cape Feare]]": "BARTDOYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIESBEFOREYOUGOTOBED?!" and "BARTYOUWANNASEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?!" |
| 668 | ** And when Homer gets scared, he talks ''insanely'' fast. For example, in the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E6TreehouseOfHorrorVI Treehouse of Horror VI]]" story "Homer^3": |
| 669 | --->'''Homer:''' [[NoPunctuationPeriod "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODTHEUNIVERSEISCOLLAPSINGANDTHERESABIGHOLEANDIMGONNAGETSUCKEDDOWNTHEHOLEAND WHATSGONNABEONTHEOTHERSIDEIDONTKNOOOW!"]] |
| 670 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E14LisaVsMalibuStacy Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]]", Lisa goes on a breathless rant about how offensive the new talking Malibu Stacy dolls are while Bart just stands there confused. |
| 671 | --->'''Lisa:''' It's not funny, Bart! Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the right way to act — that they can never be anything more than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a rich husband and spend all day on the phone with their equally vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look pretty and land a rich husband! ''(seethes with rage)''\ |
| 672 | '''Bart:''' ''(beat)'' Just what I was gonna say. |
| 673 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E7KingSizeHomer King-Size Homer]]", Homer is unable to get a lift to the nuclear plant to stop the explosion due to rambling about poisonous gas, thus scaring people off. When he tries to get an ice cream truck to give him a lift, his rambling and obesity scare the driver out of the truck. |
| 674 | --->'''Homer:''' Hey, buddy, you gotta slow your car down and let me in, because I'm a big fat guy and I can't go anywhere! Because there could be some poison gas, I mean there's really going to be poison gas, and everybody's going to be dead, especially me! |
| 675 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E18BrushWithGreatness Brush With Greatness]]", Bart and Lisa pester Homer into taking them to the Mount Splashmore water park [[BrokenRecord by asking "Willyoutakeustomountsplashmore?" over and over before he agrees]]. |
| 676 | %% * WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants gets like this when he's excited about something. In "Born Again Krabs" it actually saves his life. |
| 677 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Eric Cartman's SeamlessSpontaneousLie to cover up their "[[Recap/SouthParkS7E3ToiletPaper Toilet Paper]]" incident when the gang is sent to the Principal's office.[[note]]It doesn't work; Kyle and Stan can't follow it, and Cartman gets tired of repeating it.[[/note]] |
| 678 | --> '''Cartman:''' Okay. Last night, all four of us were at the bowling alley until about 7:30, at which time we noticed Creator/AllySheedy, the Goth chick from ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', was bowling in the lane next to us, and we asked her for her autograph, but she didn't have a pen, so we followed her out to her car, but on the way we were accosted by five Scientologists who wanted to give us all personality tests, which were administered at the Scientology Center in Denver until 10:45, at which time we accidentally boarded the wrong bus home and ended up in Rancho de Burritos Rojos, south of Castle Rock, and finally got a ride home with a man who was missing his left index finger, named Gary Bushwell, arriving home at 11:46. |
| 679 | %%* Ginger Snap from ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake''. |
| 680 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': |
| 681 | ** While Duck is a sensible engine, he often rambles about being Great Western, much to the annoyance of the other engines. It only took Donald to point this out to him by making quacking noises. |
| 682 | ** Marion the Steam Shovel (introduced in ''WesternAnimation/TaleOfTheBrave'') also qualifies. She could talk for hours on end about her past adventures and how she loves digging. This sometimes causes the other engines to avoid her, though Thomas is always happy to listen to her stories. Ironically, she does not think of herself as talkative. |
| 683 | ** Phillip the Diesel Boxcab also loves to talk a lot, particularly about the time he (allegedly) beat Gordon in a race. When Edward had to temporarily stay with him in Wellsworth Sheds during the events of "[[Recap/ThomasAndFriendsS21E13AShedForEdward A Shed For Edward]]", Philip would talk all through the night, costing Edward his much-needed sleep. When he saw just how tired Edward was, Philip learned to be quiet during the night so Edward could sleep, and this led to Edward choosing to stay in Wellsworth Sheds with him permanently. |
| 684 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' episode "Song of the Petalars", the {{Lilliputian|s}} young Petalar Emrick is like this on meeting the Thundercats, rattling off questions to Lion-O about his species and his sword with breathless excitement while climbing vegetation to get a better view of them. |
| 685 | %% * Mr Excited and The Evil Midnight Bomber from ''WesternAnimation/TheTick''. |
| 686 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': |
| 687 | ** Izzy is prone to rapid-fire and often lengthy [[InfoDump mind dumps]]. |
| 688 | ** Staci never, EVER shuts up. Even when she’s in grave danger, she still can't stop telling lies about her alleged relatives inventing things. |
| 689 | ** Scarlett is normally TheQuietOne; however, when she starts speaking, she doesn't stop, especially when explaining something scientific. |
| 690 | * ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': |
| 691 | ** Both ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' (G1) and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' Blurr. Though each has a very different style: G1 Blurr repeats himself constantly, while Animated Blurr's dialogue is so densely informative (and contains enough {{Expospeak}}) that ''every'' word counts (though he ironically spent his first appearance as TheVoiceless). Both versions of Blurr are voiced by John Moschitta, mentioned above, and other than the normal voice processing that anyone voicing a 'bot in Transformers undergoes, there is no "speed-up" effect being applied, Moschitta just plain ''is that fast''. |
| 692 | ** Also, there is [[MeaningfulName Bluestreak]], who plays it in a different manner than either Blurr; Bluestreak simply never shuts up as a means of coping with being the only survivor of his hometown's destruction, as if he's trying to drown out his own thoughts and memories. |
| 693 | * Happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{Veggietales}}'' during the silly song, Love My Lips. |
| 694 | -->'''Larry:''' Ten days after I turned eight / Got my lips stuck in a gate / My friends all laughed / And I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and we couldn't even talk to each other until the fifth week because both our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he just spoke Polish and I only knew like three words in Polish except now I know four because Oscar taught me the word for lip: Usta! |
| 695 | * Quicksilver from ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' talks faster than the other characters by ''just enough.'' It's a nice touch of GlamourFailure when he's in civilian dress. Understandable when you consider that ''everything'' about him is sped up, to the point that even when forcing himself to act at normal speed, the world is still moving at "long line at the DMV" speed to him (this is used to explain his often generally disagreeable attitude in the comicverse). |
| 696 | * ''Animation/MrKrbecAndHisAnimals'': When Mr. Krbec is injured and spends some time in hospital, his replacement is a young philosophy student Pilnáček who talks super quickly, especially when he shows the castle to tourists. |
| 697 | -->'''Pilnáček:''' The-castle-was-seized-burnt-down-and-rebuilt. 100-years-later-t-was-again-seized-and-burnt-down-and-rebuilt. These-cannon-balls-remained-from-that-period. 100-years-later-seized-and-burned-down-again. Next-group! |
| 698 | * ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Zeke may not talk fast, but he does love to talk a lot and think out loud. [[NiceGirl Ellie]] and [[CoolOldLady Super]] are the only ones who are willing to listen him go on and on. |
| 699 | [[/folder]] |
| 700 | |
| 701 | [[folder:Therealworldwhereyoulive.]] |
| 702 | * Auctioneers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwF9MfW-xMU This video]] adds a beat to their speech to make them sound like rappers. |
| 703 | * Creator/EdwardGRobinson sometimes achieved this (see his role as Barton Keyes in ''Film/DoubleIndemnity''), purportedly on the first run-through without having to do a second take. |
| 704 | * Creator/BenCroshaw. His segment on Website/TheEscapist isn't called ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation]'' for nothing. |
| 705 | ** If anything, Yahtzee has gotten ''faster'' and more intense; he sounds positively ''sedate'' in his older videos compared to his newer ones. [[WordOfGod He has stated]] that the fast-talking was by accident. Apparently he keeps it up and edits the pauses out, because it's funnier that way. |
| 706 | ** What's even better is that, for AprilFoolsDay, Yahtzee posted a video of his character sitting by a slow-ticking grandfather clock, while slowly reciting a few lines from from John Keats' poem ''Ode To Melancholy''. |
| 707 | * To people unfamiliar with a language, native speakers often come off as this way. [[https://youtu.be/-F2mkQALAt4 Latin American Spanish]] is a great example (in Spain, is nowhere as fast). |
| 708 | ** When learning another language and being exposed to a natural conversation in that language as opposed to, say, audio that's recorded especially for learners, it can really seem to the person learning the language that this is in effect. In reality, it only seems quickly because of unfamiliarity, and with enough exposure and practice the effect is reduced. |
| 709 | * Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, though even he has some trouble keeping up with his character's lines in ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''. |
| 710 | ** Just look at how long his answers are in this [[http://www.metro.us/newyork/entertainment/article/1142298--benedict-cumberbatch-the-uncensored-sherlock-interview interview]]. This man has A LOT to say! |
| 711 | * Sir Ron Lionheart. See for example [[https://youtu.be/OQkwI5bOEfI here]]. |
| 712 | * Watch a Policy/Cross-X Debate round. Try to understand what they're saying. |
| 713 | ** On some national circuits, speeches sound less like words and more like a ''low hum''. It gives a strategic advantage. A "spread" debater will throw so many arguments at their opponent it will actually be ''impossible'' to answer them all. Thus, any arguments left untouched can be claimed as enough to warrant a victory. |
| 714 | ** To go with the other Speech and Debate examples, in some Extemporaneous speaking rounds, participants speak so rapidly it can be hard for the judge to hear what they're saying. Though, to be fair, it's very hard to cram all your facts and sources into a seven minute speech |
| 715 | %% ** Most judges are likely to rank you down if your speech is too fast for them to catch it all. |
| 716 | %% * Popular Youtube vlogger Michael Buckley of the ''[[http://www.buckhollywood.com What The Buck Show]]''. |
| 717 | %% * Actor James Woods could probably power entire cities with the force of his non-stop chatter. Case in point - his portrayal as Hades in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. |
| 718 | * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Cassady Neal Cassady]], known by some of his friends as Speed Limit. Creator/TomWolfe, in his book on the Merry Pranksters, tried to transcribe Cassady's continual stream-of-consciousness ramblings and came up with things like this: "Just passing through folks don't mind us my schedule just happened to coincide with Mr. Kesey's here and all the redundancy you understand and the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson and the worst of the poems of Schiller huntin' and peckin' away as they did except insofar as where you draw the line that is but in any case I believe it was at let me see Sebring yes and when Fangio with the exhaust valves wide open and the petcocks too that you've sometimes seen starting with Wordsworth you see and working backward..." |
| 719 | * Sports announcers, especially in fast-action sports like basketball and hockey. |
| 720 | ** Any basketball fan in Los Angeles prior to the TurnOfTheMillennium grew up with the rapid-fire play-by-play of legendary Lakers announcer Chick Hearn, particularly his famous "This game's in the refrigerator: the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!" |
| 721 | ** Parodied in one song by Music/SystemOfADown, who know a thing or two about talking way too fast. |
| 722 | ** Not to mention Colombian football (soccer) commentators, like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Édgar_Perea Édgar Perea]]. |
| 723 | %% * Creator/ChrisTucker made his career off of this. |
| 724 | * At first, Mexican people claimed they didn't understand Panamanian singer Flex/Nigga when he talked. Fortunately for them, now he talks a lot slower. |
| 725 | * Hondurans are notable in that they don't have an accent, however their speech pattern is still distinguishable to other Spanish speakers because of this trope. |
| 726 | ** This has led to some annoying {{Verbal Tic}}s in most young Hondurans (and adults if not corrected, which in turn can lead to some embarrassing Inter-American meetings) like inadvertently joining words that commonly go together to form a nonexistent combination, like taking ''es'' and ''que'' to form ''Esque'' (this is so common that first graders will write it like this, though it's usually corrected by the second grade), and most noticeable (and embarrassing even amongst Hondurans [[HypocrisyNod even though we all have done it at least once]]) is to inadvertently change the ''S'' in the middle of a word for a ''J'' while Motor-Talking, famously leaving the already mispronounced ''Esque'' as ''Ejque''. This tics can also happen in other countries, like Colombia, but it's usually attributed to their accent and not their Motor Mouth (Lucky bastards). |
| 727 | * Chileans, combined with this trope and the fact they have a very unique accent, are a nightmare for people from other Spanish speaking countries to understand. Think Spanish, [[SirSwearsALot foul-mouthed]] [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Boomhauer]] and extend it to an entire country. |
| 728 | * One stereotype of Indian people is that they speak English ''very'' fast - amusingly, they think everyone ''else'' speaks English very fast. |
| 729 | * Oregonians, according to one [[https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/02/speaking-fast-and-slow/459393/ analysis]] of customer service calls. |
| 730 | * Sirius XM radio DJ Terry Young is nicknamed "Motormouth" since his delivery tends to be mumbled and very fast. And incredibly irritating. In fairness to Young, he's making a conscious effort to mimic the style of Top 40 radio [=DJs=] in the '50s and '60s, who very often utilized this trope. |
| 731 | * Youtube LetsPlay-er LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} isn't usually spectacularly fast, but the way he rambles on without pause, or concern for the topic he was speaking on four words ago, inspires awe in all but the most jaded of viewers. Apparently (and fortunately for people trying to talk to him) this is something he does semi-on-purpose, and having an actual conversation with him brings a much more normal speech pattern. |
| 732 | * [[https://youtu.be/eM6zPikfOEs Fran Capo.]] The video clip goes into more detail about ''how'' she can talk so fast. Good luck trying to understand what she says when she's going for speed. |
| 733 | * Creationist Duane Gish was so infamous for his tactic of throwing off massive amounts of antievolution arguments in lectures and debates (with the intent of snowjobbing the debate opponent) that it's become known as the "Gish Gallop." |
| 734 | * This can occur as a result of psychiatric conditions such as mania and schizophrenia or stimulant drugs such as methamphetamine, wherein it is called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_of_speech Pressure of speech]]. |
| 735 | * This can also be a warning sign that the person you're talking to is on stimulants, and can be induced from anything from too much caffeine and/or nicotine right up to cocaine and meth. That said, meth Motor Mouth tends to have distinctive features (specifically the speech tending toward being accusatory or angry or paranoid) as opposed to the more "nervous" Motor Mouth that results from a chain-smoking and coffee session, for example, or the "I LOVE EVERYONE AND YOU'RE ALL MY BEST FRIEND" Motor Mouth that's seen in the [[StopBeingStereotypical more annoying ecstasy users.]] |
| 736 | * Welsh stand-up comedian Rhod Gilbert. |
| 737 | * Anyone in a panic, pain or flooded with stims/adrenaline can be this. |
| 738 | * Often this is the case with certain kinds of autistic people, who may unintentionally speak very quickly, as they have trouble reading the social cues that would tell neurotypical people that the person they're speaking to is losing interest. |
| 739 | * Rebel XD holds the current world record for fastest rapping at 683 syllables in 54.5 seconds. |
| 740 | * Little kids often talk a lot [[NoIndoorVoice and loudly]] to family or friends due to not knowing when to stop, which can usually lead to this. |
| 741 | * When it gets right down to it, anyone can be this; it's not the speed itself that's a problem for people, but rather the fact that they run out of breath quickly, forget what to say (or, if they're improvising, can't think of anything), or stumble over certain words, especially when alliteration is involved. The people you see that talk really fast just overcome these problems. |
| 742 | * The various forms of Chinese often sound very fast to Western sensibilities when spoken, and the information density is through the roof as each syllable is often an entire word, but the context of each word can only be drawn from the entire sentence. Because the language is tonal (four different variations to each syllable, each in turn with numerous possible meanings, see also the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den 'Shi Shi shi shi shi poem']]) this also leads to the peculiar quirk of quickly spoken Chinese also being generally ''louder'' due to the need to inflect each syllable clearly. |
| 743 | * A symptom of ADHD is speaking faster and/or more than most people, often blurting out whatever pops into their head, due to impulsivity being one of the major symptoms. Bipolar people can also get like this in manic phases. |
| 744 | * Both John and Hank Green of the WebVideo/{{Vlogbrothers}}. No matter where they are, what they're doing, or what Website/YouTube channel they're appearing on, expect them both to be talking up a storm. Perhaps it originated from the 'under four minutes' restriction of their early Brotherhood 2.0 videos; they only added the exception for educational content later. |
| 745 | * Japanese seiyu Tomohiro Nishimura did a voice sample of himself [[http://web.archive.org/web/20071028205550/http://www.81produce.co.jp/images/sound/man/4222638135650.mp3 speaking very fast]]. |
| 746 | ** Casual Japanese in general can sound like this to unexperienced/beginner foreign language learners, who tend to start studying the language with the slower, solemn keigo, or the simpler, emphasized dialect used in Anime. |
| 747 | * There is an actual illness that causes this, called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logorrhea_(psychology) Logorrhea]]. |
| 748 | * John Moschitta Jr, otherwise known as 'the Micro Machines Man', once held the Guinness World Record for 'World's Fastest Talker' (his record was 586 words per minute. His record was subsequently broken by Steve Woodmore (637 words per minute), who was in turn beaten by Sean Shannon with 665 words per minute. |
| 749 | * [[UsefulNotes/{{Singapore}} Singlish]] is very guilty of this, as it involves speaking sentences in machine-gun speed, mish-mashed with vocabulary borrowed from English, Mandarin (and other Chinese dialects), Malay, and Tamil. |
| 750 | * Ben Shapiro, an American conservative political commentator, is infamous for this. |
| 751 | * Creator/MichaelJones is the most talkative person in Creator/RoosterTeeth, to the point where it was brought up that [[https://youtu.be/rbdJgEXMzo8?t=3899 that he can just talk for hours.]] He also dominates most of the conversations in Let's Plays and ''Off Topic'' podcast episodes, with lengths varying from two to three hours long. It's quite fitting that ''Off Topic'' episodes that he's not on are usually much shorter. |
| 752 | -->'''Geoff Ramsey:''' Michael is an engine. He's a verbal engine. |
| 753 | * Anne Frank is famous for being a lively chatterbox, much to the chagrin of her math teacher, who punished her by making her write three essays about being one. |
| 754 | * Like small children, older people also have a reputation of [[RamblingOldManMonologue telling rambling, pointless stories]] to anyone within earshot. |
| 755 | * Spotify has a tool to speed up the playback of podcasts without altering the pitch that has this effect on speakers. |
| 756 | * Street vendors, to both attract and convince costumers - there's an expression in Portuguese that goes "talks more than a SnakeOilSalesman". |
