Baby Talk | comment |
In TV, film, and comics, babies and toddlers tend to communicate in a manner somewhat different from adults. Baby talk has several common tendencies: Misuse of pronouns (e.g. me instead of I), or not using pronouns at all Lack words such as "a" and "the" Pronunciation of the letters "L" and "R" as "W" Big words becoming shorter, different words which sound similar Adults may communicate this way if they are in the Cuteness Proximity that babies, toddlers, kittens, and puppies create. Odds are, only one half of a conversation between a baby and an adult will be in baby talk. Which half depends on the tone of the work. In a bit of visual dissonance, a Fluffy Tamer might do this to an animal that most would consider anything but cute. A variant is a sexy woman using such language to sound seductive ("Is Daddy feeling angwy? Maybe him need Baby to kiss it aww better"). This has not been used in some time because it no longer sounds sexy. Another variant is someone using baby talk to mock another character's perceived immaturity—which generally ends up making the mocker sound even more immature than their target. And can backfire. Badly. Want to duplicate the effect more naturally? Study linguistics (phonemes, the sounds of language): You'll become aware of which sounds we make and how they're related. Soon you'll know to simplify words by repeating sounds (doggy to goggy) and you'll be able to eliminate whole sound categories by shifting to the nearest comparable sound (e.g., F to P: fan becomes pan). Also helps when you're trying to emulate a stuffy nose (M to B, N to D: by doze is stuffed) or other speech impediments. And if you're concerned because your kid can't say th at five, don't be. Kids develop sounds at their own rate and don't need speech therapy unless there's a physical reason for the difficulty. And just because the kid can't say the words doesn't mean they can't understand them—their guck might mean duck or truck or jug, but if you use the wrong one, they’ll certainly let you know. Not to be confused with Baby Language, which gives pre-language babies the same treatment as Animal Talk. |

Good Luck Charlie: Bob and Amy do this to Charlie. However, Teddy is annoyed by this so she gives them a night alone while she, PJ and Gabe babysit Charlie. In a later episode, PJ uses Charlie to pick up girls at the mall and even instructs her to say "I wove PJ"(despite the fact that she can pronounce "love" properly). This has Gone Horribly Right when the girl he picks up only becomes interested in Charlie and always engages in baby talk when around her, and would only come to play with Charlie. |

Community: A mild example occurs in "Cooperative Calligraphy," when the study group spends the whole episode locked in the study room because Annie's pen has disappeared, and she's convinced that someone in the group has stolen it and refuses to let anyone leave until whoever stole it fesses up. At one point, Annie hits Britta's Berserk Button by asking to have a quick "look-see" in her bag. In the Glee parody episode/Christmas Episode "Regional Holiday Music", Annie, who is usually a very intelligent and competent person, sings a song to lure Jeff into the cult-like glee club, which was a parody of how Glee sexualizes young girls and the way Christmas songs treat women, (e.g. Santa Baby). Annie is wearing a Sexy Santa Dress and sings about wanting Jeff to teach her how to understand Christmas, with it, by the last verse, morphing into baby talk. A flashback in "Curriculum Unavailable" shows that Greendale offers a class in this. "Advanced Safety Features:" When the Dean goes on a rant about buying Honda stuff, Frankie takes out her phone and says she's going to put the school's assets on "a little freezy-weezy." |

Both speak in third person, drop the word "the" sometimes, say "no" in place of "don't" or "doesn't", sometimes drop "s"es in verbs (like saying "he crawl" instead of "he crawls"), drop "is", and fail to pronounce names (Muffin calls her older brother Samuel "Sammel" and his friend Rudy "Oody", their friend Elliot "Ellit", and Quinn "Quinny".

Sesame Street: Downplayed for Elmo, Baby Bear and Cookie Monster, who have flawed English but don't sound babyish. Natasha, being a baby, cannot talk but she does sometimes sort of almost try to talk (she once said "kiddy-dat" for "cat", for example). Bob once said "cootchie-coo" to Natasha. A background character Freda has a baby brother who babbles gibberish. His mother and sister sometimes go "coochie-coo" to him. In one episode, Baby Bear gets jealous because his one-year-old cousin, Oliver, is getting all the attention. When Telly makes baby talk to Oliver, Baby Bear says this. Baby Bear's sister Curly Bear is two years old, so she speaks like this: her grammar is imperfect and she also uses "woo-woo" to mean poop. Oscar's niece Irvine is about one and a half, and can say a few words, filling in the rest with gibberish. |

Discworld: In Equal Rites, Granny Weatherwax has very little idea how to deal with children: In Thief of Time, the recently reincarnated Abbot has a tendency to lapse into "wanna wanna BIKKIT" in the middle of his speech.

This is possibly the only thing that saves Sam after he goes off-script with the book, since Lady Sybil may suspect what "buglit" means, but she can't be sure. Wentworth, Tiffany's little brother in The Wee Free Men, whose dialogue largely consists of "wanna sweetie" "wanna go-a toy-lut" and, when he meets the Nac Mac Feegle, "weewee men". |

Total Drama: Bridgette's and Geoff's relationship is a popular point of gossip, especially when it turns rocky in "Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show". They make up with each other during an interview with mature apologies and baby talk like "little schmoopy-schmoo" and "cutie patootie". Josh and Blaineley judge them hard for how anti-drama the baby talk is. While faking a friendly demeanor opposite of her usual self in "Moon Madness", Heather uses baby talk while cuddling an alligator, which due to the Blue Harvest Moon is genuinely friendly. Her teammates are horrified by the "poochie-poochie-poo"-ing. The teams are given babies to take care of during the challenge in "Three Zones and a Baby". This suits Max perfectly, because he's a professional babysitter and just adores babies. Every time that he can, he baby talks, repeat-rhymes, and coos to his charge while not letting go of his usual pro-evil dramatics like calling the baby his "tiny minion". |

Refreshing Stories: The Japanese version of "Getting revenge on my wife after finding out that she was cheating on me in a public restroom" has Hiroshi speak like this while impersonating his cheating wife Shoko to lure her lover, Ken Sawabe. "I set up a baby cam to check up on my new born baby, but the camera showed me something unbelievable" [sic]: Mao's lover, Son, speaks like this while dressed up as a baby to prank Mao, unaware that it was at the time Hiroshi revealed his baby daughter, Chiko, to both his parents and in-laws. The Japanese version of "My wife tried to hide the affair but..." has Tomohiro talk this way upon hearing Ayumi (Akemi) crying over the phone after Hiroshi had her call him, unaware he was collecting confirmation of their affair until he spoke. |

A metric buttload of Harry Potter fan fiction portrays Dobby and other house elves as talking like this (Kreacher is an exception, for some reason). Why this occurs is an utter mystery given that, in the books and the movies, house elves speak perfectly good English pretty much all the time. Oh sure, Dobby has pronoun trouble, and can't pronounce "Weasley", but he doesn't talk in baby talk. | |

Arthur: D.W. speaks like this to Fur Elise the cat in "D.W.'s Furry Freakout". In "Arthur's Baby", Francine tells Arthur that once he has a baby sibling (the yet-to-be-born Kate), he'll start talking like this all the time. This leads to Arthur having a dream wherein he lapses into baby talk at the worst possible time: Right in the middle of a school football game, where he announces that he has "an ouchie-boo-boo" after a hard tackle and causes everyone to starting laughing hysterically at him. |

In the Glee parody episode/Christmas Episode "Regional Holiday Music", Annie, who is usually a very intelligent and competent person, sings a song to lure Jeff into the cult-like glee club, which was a parody of how Glee sexualizes young girls and the way Christmas songs treat women, (e.g. Santa Baby). Annie is wearing a Sexy Santa Dress and sings about wanting Jeff to teach her how to understand Christmas, with it, by the last verse, morphing into baby talk. | |

Satirized in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Sunny Baudelaire is a surprisingly intelligent baby, but still only a baby, so she speaks in baby talk. People who know her well can apparently fully understand what she is saying, but every one of her baby talk words is translated into a well thought-out sentence for the convenience of the reader. She often speaks in nonsense words (translated into perfectly articulate English), which often reference something relevant to what she's actually saying, rather than the usual distorted English. Sunny's almost more of a Strange-Syntax Speaker, particularly in the later books. | |

Odd Squad: In "Rise of the Hydraclops", Otto speaks in this manner to Norman, Oscar's teddy bear from when he was a young child, calling him "adowable". When Baby Genius speaks for the first time in "Two Agents and a Baby", he speaks like this. It would be a justified example if he weren't a Brainy Baby. Ohlm uses this as mockery against Olympia in "Odds and Ends" when she instinctively reaches behind her back for the Handcuff-inator to capture him, only for her to come up with nothing since he took away all of Precinct 13579's gadgets earlier in the episode. |

Defied in this joke: A first-grade teacher is addressing her class on their first day. "Now class, you're in the first grade. Baby talk won't be tolerated, we'll be using proper English from now on." she said. "Do I make myself clear?" As the class nodded, the teacher then skims through the attendance sheet. "Alright, we'll begin the year with a casual conversation. Timmy, you can start by telling the class how you spend your holidays." A little boy at the back of the class stood up. "I went with my mamma and papa to visit my nana..." "Hold it," the teacher interrupted. "You went with your mother and father to visit your grandmother. Proper English. Please go on." "I went there on a choo-choo..." Timmy continues, only for the teacher to interrupt again. "You went there on a train." the teacher said. "Proper English. Continue." "And at my grandmother's place, I watched a cartoon." Timmy said. And then stops, as if hesitant on what to say next. "Go on, tell the class what cartoon you watched." the teacher said. At which point Timmy replies in a meek voice, "Winnie the shit..." | |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Applejack begins comforting the apple tree she's delivering in baby talk after Rarity accuses her of treating the tree like her baby. Humourously, Rarity sometimes speaks to her cat like this. In "Secrets of My Excess", Spike is taken to a doctor who speaks to him in Baby Talk. Fitting since he's a baby dragon, but he doesn't find it amusing and promptly breathes fire at the doc. Spike's friends sometimes call him, "Widdew Spikey-Wikey," though. And he doesn't seem to mind at all. Since it's just Rarity that calls him "Spikey-Wikey," and he has a secret crush on her (that everyone knows about) she is probably the only one he'll allow to talk to him like that. Then again, he'd allow her to do almost anything she wants to him, he's that smitten. Pinkie resorts to doing this with Mr. & Mrs. Cake's twin foals. However, considering that said foals are only a month old, it's justified. Cheerilee and Big Macintosh speak to each other in this manner in the Hearts and Hooves Day episode as a result of the "love potion" the Cutie Mark Crusaders had given them. They continue to speak this way at the end of the episode (after the love potion had worn off) to torment the CMC as part of their punishment. In the episode "Apple Family Reunion", there is a flashback of Applejack when she was just a baby. See it here. Applejack speaks babyish to an embarrassed Apple Bloom in "Somepony to Watch Over Me". |

He cannot talk properly and can only say a few words, including "dog", "door" (his first word), "baby", "Skits" (his family's dog, along with Martha), "Dad" and he's tried (and failed) a few times to say "Martha". | |

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Manny Heffley, Greg's brother, sometimes pronounces "R"s and "L"s as "W"s, "T-H"s as "F"s and gets tenses wrong (like saying "felled" instead of "fell"). Justified as he's, as he puts it, "ownwy thwee". Apparently, Greg had trouble pronouncing "R"s when he was Manny's age too. | |

Black Friday: The Adorable Abomination Wiggly does this, both in his guise as a children's toy, and in his horrifyingly monstrous true form. All his followers do this, too, and since all his followers are previously-rational adults, the effect is both hilarious and obnoxious — and weirdly creepy. And none of them drop it, even when they're threatening people, or following through on those threats. | |

Stewie Griffin on Family Guy averts this trope by being — to us — over-articulate and a (warped) child genius. But it is implied, especially by the adults around him who treat him like a fractious toddler and baby-talk him, that all they can hear is baby-noise and the tantrums of a typical "Terrible Two". Lois never hears or responds to his blood-curdling threats of matricidal violence, for instance, and carries on baby-talking him as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening. To be fair, Stewie is just a baby/toddler, so people probably just don't take him seriously because of his age (with the exception of Brian, the family's pet dog). However, this is subverted pretty soon in early seasons with other adults understanding Stewie just fine while the rest of the family either understanding him at times or not many times, indicating their understanding is general stupidity on their part. | |

In The Cat Who... Series, Polly Duncan, the girlfriend of the main character, Qwilleran, tended to talk this way to her Siamese cat Bootsie, much to Qwilleran's chagrin, as he always talked to his own Siamese in an intelligent manner, as if they actually understood what he was saying. (Which, given the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane nature of the main "mystery-solving cat," Koko, he might actually have.) Eventually, Bootsie was renamed to Brutus and Polly got better about this. | |
