So there's something a bit, well, off about one person in the room. Maybe this individual is a blatant Cloudcuckoolander, or an example of The Mad Hatter or The Loonie. Perhaps the person is spouting some blatant Insane Troll Logic or some Cloudcuckoolanguage. Maybe the person has a history of being disturbingly Ax-Crazy or detailing just how much a macabre subject appeals to them as a clear Nightmare Fetishist. Or maybe they're just a run-of-the-mill oddball because they say and do things that set them apart from their peers. Whatever the reason, the wonders of nonverbal communication make voicing one's belief that you or someone else is a complete nutjob easily possible. Just perform one gesture: Point to your own head, and twirl your fingers in a circle. Simulating as if a cuckoo clock is going off in someone's brain. The gesture is often accompanied by a two-note whistle imitating a cuckoo clock noise and the person imitating spiraling Wingding Eyes with a Maniac Tongue for added effect. Details can vary, using different fingers when pointing at different things, but this is how you generally tell someone that you think someone in the room is a crazed loon or is going through some clear Sanity Slippage. Though generally an insulting gesture due to deeming someone as having poor mental health, it is known to have at times been used in a friendly or reassuring manner as well; communicating something to the effect of "They're a total weirdo" in an accepting tone. Other gestures with the same meaning include tapping the side of the head or the forehead. Compare Batty Lip Burbling, another gesture indicating madness. |

Adventure Time: Happens in "Beautopia", with Jake expressing reluctance towards having to hang around Susan Strong after she tried to eat the Candy People in her last appearance. Jake thinks Susan is actually a deranged member of the hyoo-mans, a strange race of Fish People living in the ruins of human civilization, and makes this gesture while trying to convince Finn she's nuts and he needs to stay way from her. | |

Happens at times in The Simpsons: In "Homer's Triple Bypass", Chief Wiggum did this gesture in response after a guy leaped off the building. In "Lisa the Drama Queen", Lisa befriends a delusional girl who sees the world as her own idealized version of it. By the end of the episode, the girl is consumed by her fantasies and walks away from Lisa, who responds by twirling her finger next to her temple and making a cuckoo sound. In "Tale of two Springfields", the incompetent bodyguard of The Who allows Homer and Bart to enter the band's green room and when they protest about this, the guard insults the group by snarking out "yeah, sure, I was fired by the Who" and walking out of the room doing this gesture. In "You only Move Twice", Bart is put into a remedial class at school and is made to do kindergarten-grade work. He points out that he's supposed to be in 4th grade and is never going to catch up with his peers at the pace the remedial class expects him to work, and does the cuckoo gesture to indicate the absurdity of the situation. His classmates then start to copy him before the teacher puts a stop to it. |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Michelangelo does the cuckoo gesture when describing Leo's declining mental state to Master Splinter after the Turtles' last big fight with the Shredder made him into a vicious and aggressive Knight Templar. Another episode had Raph and Don do this in response to Mikey's Cassandra Truth about the rampaging Leatherhead. They retract their statement when Mikey provides proof later on. |

Near the end of Arsenic and Old Lace, Mortimer, who up to this point has been portrayed as the Only Sane Man in his family, goes berserk from stress and charges up the staircase, just like his crazy brother Teddy, who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy appears from his room at the top of the stairs at this point and does the crazy finger twirl, referring to Mortimer, and then goes back into his room. | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show: In "Son of Stimpy", Stimpy asks his magical nose goblins if they've seen Stinky, his very first fart. The nose goblins think he's crazy for talking to farts, and one does the cuckoo gesture. Another example is shown in "Fire Dogs", where Ren and Stimpy (who are disguised as dalmatians) go to the fire station to be hired as fire dogs. When Stimpy almost gives them away by saying he's a cat, Ren tells the Fire Chief that Stimpy's "not quite right in the head" while doing the finger-spinning gesture to convince him to ignore the outburst. |

Twice in the CatDog episode "The Canine Mutiny." First, when Cat goes power-hungry as the self-appointed captain of a dumpster lost at sea, Mervis looks to Mr. Sunshine and silently twirls his finger. Then, at the end of the episode when the crew is safe but Cat still doesn't give up the charade, Mervis does it again. | |

After a brief imprisonment, the heroes agree to let Wily and Eggman out to hear what intel they have on Sigma's plan. Xander opts to stay in the holding cell, stating that destiny doesn't need him right now. Prompting Eggman and Wily to make the cuckoo motion.

Turner responds that they might not have the power, but Captain Planet does... only in this setting he's fictional and Turner plans on painting himself as the superhero to take care of it personally.

In the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor", Inspector Lestrade gives Watson a significant look and taps his foreheard after Holmes makes the seemingly irrational assertion that the missing Lady St. Simon never existed in the first place. In the sense that her husband was still alive and therefore she couldn't legally have become Lord St. Simon's wife. | |
