10	->''"Funny walk that kid has."''
11	-->-- '''Wrestling/VinceMcMahon''', in re: [[Wrestling/KenAnderson Mr. Kennedy]].
12
13	When a character demonstrates a rather odd way of walking, often involving deliberate contortions.
14
15	Watch out for this after someone says WalkThisWay. Also recall that [[MemeticMutation one does not Silly Walk]] [[WalkIntoMordor into Mordor]].

25	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
26	* Edward from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' seems incapable of walking normally. She will get around by either dancing, sauntering, rolling, crawling, or anything else. Heck, even when she does walk around ''somewhat'' normally, she tends to kick her feet forward in her stride while noodily waving her arms before her body.
27	* In ''Manga/DeathNote'', L's distinctive way of walking while slouching forward with his knees slightly bent is another one of the traits that Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba incorporated to his design (along with other strange quirks like sitting in a crouched position and holding objects with only his thumb and index) in order to make him the perfect rival of Light: as brilliant as him but the total opposite of his perfect image.
28	* ''Manga/HitoribocchiNoOOSeikatsu:'' When Bocchi is told to jump the hurdles, she takes it literally and jumps in regular interval while running. Later combined with her HumanHummingbird movements she does to prevent cramping up. One of her classmates ends up joining in.
29	* Satotz from ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' can seemingly run long distances and climb stairs with his knees and elbows locked.
30	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
31	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'': Masazo Kinoto walks entirely making sure no one gets a full view of back by being against the wall or standing behind someone else.
32	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': Weather Report is a very tall, long-legged man which is emphasized by his form-fitting pants and the fact that he prefers walking tiptoes.
33	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
34	** Outrageous character designs are a noticeable part of Creator/EiichiroOda's style, so silly walking isn't a rare phenomenon.
35	** There are [[HypnoFool Jango]] (moonwalk à la Michael Jackson), [[SlasherSmile Doflamingo]] (who walks like a flamingo), Perona (who seemingly has pigeon toes), Miss Doublefinger (who sways her hips so hard that her legs zigzag in front of one another as she walks), and everyone from Long Leg Tribe.
36	** Brook can run on water by wildly flailing his legs.
37	[[/folder]]

39	[[folder:Comedy]]
40	* In one of stand-up routines on ''Film/BillCosbyHimself'', Creator/BillCosby talks about how every boy in his neighbourhood had to have their own "cool walk". He demonstrates his and, while the full effect is lost on the recorded version, the audience's reaction gives a good indication of exactly what this looked like.
41	* One routine by Creator/LarryTheCableGuy, when he talks about visiting Wal-Mart late at night and comments on the peculiar ambulation of the people found there, "It looked like the Department of Silly Walks in there!"
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
45	* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': Syndrome's walk was based on a person's deliberate attempt to cure a strange walk.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
49	* At the end of ''Film/AustinPowersInGoldmember'' Scott Evil had one of these.
50	-->'''Dr. Evil:''' I'd just like to point out that no one else in my gene pool runs like a girl.
51	* Creator/RobinWilliams in ''Film/TheBirdcage'' and other times he's playing a homosexual character does a rather exaggerated mincing walk. Compared to Nathan Lane it's downright manly, though.
52	* Creator/CharlieChaplin had an iconic wobbly walk. Probably one of the oldest and most iconic examples is the waddling gait of his Little Tramp, often accompanied by a twirl of his cane.
53	* Randal's "wrangle" into the Quick Stop in ''Film/{{Clerks}}''. Thereafter referred to by many fans as "the Randal strut".
54	* In ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety'', Creator/RobinWilliams encourages each student to find his own walk, some of which are rather silly. One even exercises his right to ''not'' walk.
55	* Anyone playing [[TheIgor Igor]] in a work based on ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' does this, notably Marty Feldman in ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.
56	* ''Film/GrampsIsInTheResistance'': Ludwig von Apfelstrudel has a weird way of walking, part goosestepping and part "legs giving way at the knees without warning". Explained in-universe by him having survived a bombing attempt and gone through physical therapy.
57	* Discussed, but not shown, in ''Film/GrizzlyMan'' when one of the interviewees mentions how Timothy Treadwell got into trouble at the restaurant he once worked at for doing one of these in front of customers.
58	* ''Film/LifeIsBeautiful'': Guido, the hero, often performs a comically exaggerated and slowed-down goosestep as a mockery of Mussolini's Fascists and the Nazis. Used to poignant effect when Guido says good-bye to his son as [[spoiler: the death camp guards lead him off to be shot]].
59	* Torgo in ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' has an odd gait meant to imply that he's a satyr with goat-like legs whose knees bend the wrong way.
60	* [[Creator/TheMarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] has a distinctive walk, bending down low at the knees and taking large steps. This was an exaggeration of an outdated fad at the time. Groucho's walk was so distinctive that any gait requiring a low stance, such as for exercising or shooting, is called a "Groucho Walk" or similar term.
61	* ''Film/MickeyBlueEyes'' has a scene where the eponymous protagonist and his MafiaPrincess love interest are running; she collapses in laughter, telling him to "stop doing the funny run" and he's embarrassed to admit that he wasn't doing it for comic effect; that's just how he runs.
62	* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': Captain Jack Sparrow has a rather odd gait based on that of Keith Richards. He also has a silly ''run'', known as "The Lizard Run" because he waves his hands around while he does it.
63	* ''Film/TheThreeStooges'': Curly Howard had a limp caused by an accident as a child in which he shot himself in the foot. It did add comedic effect during scenes where he walked or ran, to whoever doesn't know the reason behind the silly walk.
64	* [[TheAlcoholic Eddie]] in ''Film/ToHaveAndHaveNot'' walks with a limp that makes it look like he is desperately trying to make it to the toilet before he has an accident.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Literature]]
68	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': In ''Literature/MakingMoney'', the AmbiguouslyHuman accountant Mr. Bent has a unique walk, raising his feet high and setting them down flat like a slow goosestep. It {{foreshadow\|ing}}s that he's actually [[spoiler:a clown by birth.]]
69	* The "Black Hats"/Wogs in Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/TheNumberOfTheBeast'' have an extra joint in each limb, and without sophisticated prosthetics, they have a very odd shambling gait. Even with the prosthetics, they have a slightly detectable strange way of walking.
70	* In one of the Otto Stahl novels, our German anti-hero is being trained to [[DressingAsTheEnemy impersonate a US soldier]] prior to the Battle of the Bulge. His instructor apparently believes that AmericansAreCowboys and encourages Stahl to adopt a hip-swinging saunter, causing Stahl to gripe that he feels like a male prostitute selling his ass on the [[RedLightDistrict Reeperbahn]].
71	* ''Literature/TheWarAgainstTheChtorr''.
72	** Captain [=McCarthy=] is saddled with [[TheNeidermeyer Major Bellus]] who accidentally walks near a grove of shambler trees: {{Man Eating Plant}}s hosting [[TheSwarm an entire ecology of carnivorous symbiotes that swarm]] when they sense the vibrations of nearby prey. [=McCarthy=] points out that these vibrations are relayed by the creeper vines lying all around them, and the only way ''not'' to trigger them is to walk out of range at five meters per hour. Cue a SillyWalk that (as [=McCarthy=] enjoys pointing out to Bellus) is being relayed via cameras to an extensive internet audience hoping they'll die in an interesting and horrible fashion. [[spoiler:Eventually Bellus breaks down under the strain and begs for his life, so to conclude this HumiliationConga [=McCarthy=] walks out normally, saying they weren't in any danger as the shambler grove was uninhabited. This stunt destroys Bellus career; unfortunately it also earns [=McCarthy=] the ire of his superiors who try to get rid of him with an UriahGambit.]]
73	** During ''Rage For Revenge'', [=McCarthy=] gets [[DrowningMySorrows suicidally stoned]] and wanders into a Chtorran nest where he has a weird dream in which Ted (a male former LoveInterest who joined the Telepathy Corp) helps him back to his helicopter where he'll be safe. When [=McCarthy=] looks at the camera footage the next day to find out what happened, all he sees is himself doing a SillyWalk [[spoiler:like [[MarionetteMotion someone else is controlling his body]]. [=McCarthy=] just puts this down to the drugs and doesn't consider the possibility that he's been secretly implanted by the Telepathy Corp.]]

76	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
77	* In Cycle 2 of ''Series/AmericasNextTopModel'' Camille was criticized for her weird wobbly runway walk. She insisted it was her "signature walk" and that she would not change it.
78	* Music/FrankZappa has a memorable role as a hunchback in "The Boy Who Left Home to Learn About the Shivers," an episode of ''Series/FaerieTaleTheatre''. His bizarre walk has to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtZsvgbZYs seen]] to be believed.[[note]]The video has a small ShoutOut to ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'' for good measure.[[/note]]
79	* The serial killer Sqweegel, from ''Series/{{CSI}}'', employs an extremely creepy style of walk while sneaking around his intended victims' homes, going on all fours and alternately moving one hand and the opposite foot. Together with his black leather bodysuit and lithe build, it creates the visual impression of a crawling spider.
80	* In ''Series/FawltyTowers'', Basil, played by John Cleese, evokes part of it and calls it "a funny walk" when he infamously tries to stop mentioning the war but performs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0 a goose step in front of some German guests.]]
81	* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': After inviting her to go jogging, Rachel discovers that Phoebe runs by flailing her arms and legs around. When Rachel admits she's embarrassed to be seen next to her, Phoebe claims she just runs the way she did as a kid because it's more fun. The next time Rachel goes jogging she decides to try doing her own silly run which she really enjoys... until she runs into the side of a police horse.
82	* When George Jefferson (''Series/TheJeffersons'') was in a cocky mood he had a rather silly way of walking where he would stick out his chest and swing his arms behind him. Creator/ShermanHemsley would later reuse the walk for his character Deacon Frye in ''Series/{{Amen}}''.
83	* ''Series/LazyTown'''s Robbie Rotten's trademark walk involves slouching heavily while flailing his arms and swaying his hips far harder than any person should deem necessary.
84	* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' gave us the famous "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foNKPz6iiqM Peggy Bundy Walk]]." Creator/KateySagal later explained that it was the only way she ''could'' walk in the heels Peggy would wear.
85	* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': The {{Trope Namer\|s}} is the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch.
86	** Because of the sketch's extreme popularity among fans, it's been requested of Creator/JohnCleese so many times that he's reportedly entirely sick of it and has started to politely refuse. In an episode of the miniseries ''The Human Face'' talking about fame, he has an IndulgentFantasySegue of ''shooting'' a fan who requests it.
87	*** Even if he ''wanted'' to do it, he can't anymore due to age and hip replacement surgery.
88	*** In the Monty Python [[ThatsAllFolks farewell show]], the entire sketch was turned into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHXA260DSS8 a dance routine]], but lacked John Cleese.
89	* ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'': "Oh no, here it comes, the Ministry of Silly Walks!"
90	* ''Series/PythagoraSwitch'': [[http://www.metacafe.com/watch/253567/the_algorithm_march/ The Algorithm March.]]
91	* Kryten of ''Series/RedDwarf'' is particularly strange, but not lampshaded till Series 7. Robert Llewellyn, Kryten's actor, came up with the walk during the audition... and when he learned Doug Naylor has a false leg, left the audition lamenting about how he'd blown his chance.
92	* ''Series/SchittsCreek'': Bob has the most peculiar shuffling walk that is his character's signature trait.
93	* ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'': In the "record the highest number of steps on this pedometer" task in "The 75th Question", Bridget Christie appears to not understand how pedometers work, and initially tries a ridiculous high-kicking motion. In "The House Queens", Christie's titular song has her dancing in a very similar way to her walk, which is immediately pointed out. Later in the episode, all five contestants perform Christie's walk/dance together during the credits.
94	* Arby the assassin from ''Series/{{Utopia}}'' has a very peculiar, waddling gait, usually with his gun hanging carelessly at his side.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Music]]
98	* Music/{{Madness\|Band}}: The band members on the album cover of ''Music/OneStepBeyondAlbum'', where they walk directly behind each other. They also mimick this in the music video of "One Step Beyond".
99	* The music video for Louis Cole's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glgPZmSwC4M Weird Part of the Night]]" is absolutely littered with these, giving us such iconic shots such as the lead vocalist [[MenacingStroll menacingly vibing towards a Foodmax]].
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
103	* The Bushwhackers are known for their odd manner of walking: holding their arms at right angles and swinging them up and down with each step. Wrestling/TheIronSheik did a similar (albeit less exaggerated) version.
104	* When Wrestling/VinceMcMahon makes his entrance, he likes to walk with his chest pumped out, swinging his arms back and forth. This is usually referred to as his "power" walk.
105	* Wrestling/SantinoMarella speed walks to the ring as a parody of the TeamPowerWalk.
106	* Kairi Hojo's open handed march away from her opponent (preferably tied up in the corner) after which she returns backwards.
107	[[/folder]]
108
109	[[folder:Radio]]
110	* {{Invoked\|Trope}} in the ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain'' 25th aniversary ReunionShow, which portrayed the post-''Python'' Creator/JohnCleese as obsessed with silly walks, and constantly attempting to work them into his film roles. ("In ''Film/{{Silverado}}'' they wouldn't even let me hop! The part of the sheriff was crying out for it, but they wouldn't even let the horse do it!") He agrees to rejoin the Prune gang on condition he is allowed to use "the comedy legs", only for this to prove terrible radio.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Theatre]]
114	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ-gfalEWI0 This version]] of the "Monarch of the Sea" sequence from Theatre/HMSPinafore has Sir Joseph think he's a [[Franchise/JurassicPark velociraptor]].
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Video Games]]
118	* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': [[RedBaron Loki]] has his WeaponAcrossTheShoulder while having a strict-tight walk when fighting in a battle.
119	* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'': ComicBook/TheJoker in the DLC has a ''very'' unusual default walk -- MilkingTheGiantCow upstairs, Film/SaturdayNightFever pimp-strut downstairs with more than a hint of [[Film/MaryPoppins Cockney]] / [[Music/{{Oasis}} Madchester]] swagger thrown in. [[LargeHam All part of the plan, of course.]]
120	* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'': Most of the members of the Belmont family in the series walk in a very peculiar way that has since been dubbed the "Belmont walk" or "pimp walk," depending on whom you ask.
121	* Frank West of ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' has a rather unusual gait. Earlier plans for the game would have him hurt his ankle when he jumps out of the helicopter at the very beginning; the plot point was dropped but the odd, gimpy walk was kept.
122	* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' mostly has sensible walk cycles. However, when enacting [[LookBehindYou her plan to escape the Fun Gang]], [[FriendlyEnemy Queen]] has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UScvZif3dzU a comically grotesque walk cycle]] that is seen for all of three seconds. Creator/TobyFox admitted that he created Queen's exaggerated running animation for the gag because he thought it was funny.
123	%% Needs context * Inspector Cabanela (and quite a few other characters) of ''VideoGame/GhostTrick''.
124	* In ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', while most characters either charge, jump attack or fly into a clash, the Joker instead does an exaggerated stride with a crowbar in hand.
125	* Bonne Jenet of ''VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves'' walks with hands on her hips, swaying her ass. She runs more normally, except for the part where she ''waves''. All part of being an AttentionWhore.
126	* In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', Deadpool has a sliding shuffle when walking forward (he looks like he's walking backwards) and moonwalks backward.
127	* ''VideoGame/MegaManV'': Venus the Stardroid, due to his crab design, cannot walk forward, but he can walk sideways. This forces him to turn about 90 degrees perpendicular to the desired direction in order to walk in the desired direction.
128	* In ''VideoGame/{{Messiah}}'', when you possess a pimp, you walk with, well, an exaggerated pimp strut.
129	* In ''Videogame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', Mela of Team Star walks in an awkward goose-step due to wearing boots that reach all the way past her knees. In the ''Indigo Disk'' DLC, where she's out of costume and wearing a normal school uniform she still walks in a goosestep.
130	* In ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}'', the Glukkons have a comical way of walking where they shuffle with their feet, accompanied by a sound of xylophones. [[spoiler:This is thanks to their biology where their legs are so comically small that they have to cover it up by wearing an outfit that emphasizes their imposing figure, which had the consequence of forcing them to shuffle underneath its conical opening, and can't risk increasing their walk speed without exposing their true appearance.]]
131	* The runner in ''VideoGame/{{QWOP}}'' runs like he has spasms. This is because the player is controlling his leg muscles individually, and likely not very well.
132	* All playable characters in ''VideoGame/RogueLegacy'' walk by goosestepping around with their sword over their head.
133	* As part of the deep character customization in the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' games, you can choose your walking style, and some of them are really out there. All running and jumping looks roughly the same.
134	* Amy Rose from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' is pigeon-toed, giving her a short stride and bouncy run which make her the least agile of the hedgehogs.
135	* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'': The VideoGame/WiiFit Trainer costume has a walk cycle where she walks while simultaneously holding the dance yoga pose.
136	%%* Wario in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games.
137	* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', crouching interacts with the standard animation cycle in strange ways, resulting in very silly walks. To wit:
138	** [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Spytaunt05.PNG Spy Crabbing]] - as Spy, take out your disguise kit. Crouch, aim upwards, and walk. While you won't be able to see anything except the ceiling, to everyone else it looks like you're imitating a crab.
139	** Pimp walk: As Demoman, have your melee weapon out, crouch, and look up. This gives the Demoman a very silly looking strut.
140	** Disco Sniper: Crouch and then zoom in and out rapidly on your rifle. Sniper will then proceed to gyrate his hips rapidly.
141	* The protagonist of ''Treasure Master'' doesn't walk so much as [[http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/files/treasurekidbig.gif exaggeratedly strut everywhere.]]
142	* "Stupid Walking" can be unlocked in ''VideoGame/WestOfLoathing'' from the start. The perk cycles your character through a whole ''variety'' of silly walks.
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Web Animation]]
146	* ''WebAnimation/BamanPiderman'': The title characters walks like a baby taking its first steps. That said, they rarely even do anything that can be ''called'' walking.
147	* The main character in ''Not Stanley'' walks sideways in a crab-like manner with no arm movement.
148	[[/folder]]

150	%%[[folder:Web Comics]]
151	%%* In ''Webcomic/{{Irrelevator}}'': [[http://i.imgur.com/ljTwR26.gif Better seen than explained.]]

153
154	[[folder:Web Videos]]
155	* Agent Martinez from ''Series/TheCryOfMann'' walks ''very'' stiffly, and moves forward by moving her entire body side-to-side and shuffling ahead.
156	* ''WebVideo/JetLagTheGame'':
157	** New Zealand has a curse that forces players to roll a die and take that many steps forward.
158	** Japan has the Ice Tower that does the same thing as the New Zealand curse, and the Mud Tower that forces players to walk sideways.
159	* ''WebVideo/StupidMarioBrothers'': Mr. Redhead in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNEisPScKgQ this]] episode.
160	* [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 The Spy]] [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/bc50b575c93bc5aee04eddfe71e9a038/tumblr_n41gc4uDC11trxw56o1_500.gif is makin his way downtown.]]
161	* From the WebVideo/{{Vlogbrothers}}, say hello to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maYwwQ8CYiA Hank Gait]] (starting at 0:24 seconds in).
162	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClwikF3i0Zk Walking!]] with Creator/CoryWilliams and his friend.
163	* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'': Enraged that Joey botched a romantic moment with Mai, Téa yells at him for ruining her shipping fantasies and walks off like a pimp.
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	[[folder:Western Animation]]
167	* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': In "Party All The Time", Music/AndrewWK walks while singing into a microphone.
168	* ''WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts'':
169	** Goofy had a distinctive walk in the 1930s, with his knees bending backward and his feet swiveling nearly all the way around. It carried over into ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. It's particularly noticeable in the Timeless River.
170	** Donald Duck has a distinctly duck-like waddle, which also carried over into ''Kingdom Hearts''.
171	* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'': The Red Guy often 'walks' on his buttocks when crossing large distances. When he's in a hurry, he's just rolling.
172	* ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'': Iggy ''Iguanodon'' demonstrates that ornithopods can walk on two legs or four by doing a variety of walks, such as a conga or pretending to be a dancer.
173	* The titular characters in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. In fact, the first teaser for the series consisted of the Edds just walking and running around:
174	** Ed runs with his body bent 90 degrees to the ground and leaning backward. Edd attempts it while imitating him but just falls backwards.
175	** Edd runs with bolt upright posture, with his arm hooked inward. One would assume, with Edd's scientific mind, he does this to lower wind resistance. But this posture actually would ''maximize'' his wind resistance.
176	** Eddy runs at a 90 degree angle like Ed, except leaning forward.
177	* Zoidberg from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' does a kind of scuttle, albeit during his more quirky moments. Justified in that he's basically a crab with an octopus for a face.
178	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In the episode "Let's Play Hot-Cold", Mr. Cat attempts to teach Stumpy how to impress girls. Part of his act involves strutting around like a deranged rooster with a ridiculous smile on his face.
179	* ''WesternAnimation/KingRollo'' never goes anywhere without flailing his arms wildly.
180	* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Marvin the Martian's distinctive shuffling walk.
181	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': All the other ponies will trot or gallop. Pinkie will bounce, complete with unique sound effect. The name for this gait is "pronking" and there arguably could not be a better word for how Pinkie Pie travels.
182	* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'': In "Hair(less): The Musical", while singing "I Tried to Fit In", Skull Boy does an exaggerated walk where he's leaning back while taking large steps, at one point pausing to lean forward on one foot while holding the other behind him and to the side before sweeping it around in a wide circle to the front, shifting his weight toward the back again to resume the gait.
183	* TheTeaser of the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "The Sponge Who Could Fly" pulls a trolling moment on Patchy, passing off an animation in which [=SpongeBob=] walks in very silly ways down a [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects CG-rendered]] street as a complete new episode, before letting him know and moving on to the episode proper.
184	* Alejandro in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama All Stars'' moves by using his hands[[spoiler:, until it's revealed that his legs are healed after all, although he still does that in order to keep Heather's guard down and to avoid letting his fellow villians see him as a threat in order to vote him off as part of a WoundedGazelleGambit up until Nobody Egg-spects the Spanish Opposition]].

187	[[folder:Real Life]]
188	* The guards at the Government Palace in Lima have a rather bizarre walk, as seen during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7BcEwGISi0 changing of the guards.]] Having them march in time to "[[Music/CarminaBurana O Fortuna]]" makes it all the more surreal.
189	* Tiptoeing is a very silly way to stealthily move (as opposed to a more BoringButPractical crouch walk).
190	* Woodcocks have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB9DC9orYaM very particular bobbing walks]]; it's meant to disturb the soil enough for worms to make themselves known, but it mostly looks like they just can't stop dancing wherever they go.
