This is for a piece of dialogue that starts out seeming fairly coherent, but over time gradually deteriorates into gibberish. Relatively common in Hilarious Outtakes. May be a sign of Sanity Slippage. When anger is the specific reason for this, it would be Angrish, whereas if falling in love is the reason, then it's Gibberish of Love. It may also happen in the presence of cute things or when starting to cry. This may start out as a Dramatic Stutter before the speaker loses their grip entirely. Repeating something they're trying to remember until it devolves into hopeless gobbledygook is Repeated Rehearsal Failure. When the gibberish precedes the character passing out, it's a Non Sequitur, *Thud*. When it precedes a worse fate such as death or insanity, it's Word-Salad Horror. Examples |

In the Secret Six arc "Depths", one of the slaves starts to protest her treatment, to which Mr. Smythe responds by having her fellows systematically butchered in front of her. By the end of it, she's so horrified that she's begging them to stop in broken English. | |

Darkwing Duck: "The Haunting of Mr. Banana Brain": Launchpad begins stuttering uncontrollably after seeing Paddywhack's jack-in-the-box pull in Quackerjack. He only manages to break himself out of it to yell at Darkwing and Gosalyn not to touch the box. "Time and Punishment": Launchpad, seeing that Darkwarrior still has positive feelings for Gosalyn, asks if he can join the reunion. Darkwarrior turns around and goes on a Tranquil Fury-fueled tirade about his sympathies toward the criminal element and tells him he's going to give him the chair for defacing his statue (which he actually was only an innocent bystander for). Launchpad starts stuttering uncontrollably until Gosalyn breaks in to say that he didn't do it. |

Community: In "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design", Jeff tells Annie to blow off looking into the sudden appearance of a teacher Jeff claims doesn't exist. Her response quickly does this. In "Regional Holiday Music", Annie (again) tries to sing a sexy Santa song. Emphasis on tries because her attempt at "cutesy" baby-talk eventually turns creepy: |

His research notes, preserved as an awful warning to wizards contemplating following his line of research, start off as a parody of scientific notation but degenerate into megalomania of the I'll show them! type (with multiple exclamation marks included), followed swiftly by babbling and then gibberish. |

When the four use the white key to visit the entrapped Pyar gods in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, they're told that the key endowed the gods with temporary coherence. After a brief and mostly unhelpful conversation, the three gods sink into gibberish before fading away. Later, when John is powering their boat through the Hungry Sea, he starts to spout gibberish as well. This is actually an important plot point since it points to the curse of incoherence that was placed upon the Last Wizard centuries ago. When they encounter her, they figure out that the ubiquitous saying “Speak the problem and it will be solved� is finally relevant in this situation, and George breaks the curse on her by telling her that she's cursed not to be able to speak. | |

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: In "Blind Spot", criminologist Jo Gage plays a tape of someone being tortured by a serial killer, pointing out to Goren how the victim's speech grows increasingly incoherent as the pain and panic overwhelm them. In "Untethered", Goren is bound to a table and denied water for two days. He grows increasingly incoherent as the dehydration nearly kills him. |

Former BBC presenter Sarah Kennedy lapsed into this on several occasions, a drawback in one presenting the early breakfast show on national radio. Inevitably, kindly hands had to lead her away from the microphone, ring a cab, and send her home to sleep it off (whatever the it was), while a stand-in presenter took over. Officially, it was put down to over-strong prescription medication and lack of sleep. Sarah no longer works for the BBC, or indeed in radio. | |

Throughout the first season of Courage the Cowardly Dog, Courage actually talked throughout the episodes, spoke in complete sentences, and interacted with other characters through words. After that, Cartoon Network forced Courage to stop talking because Linda Simensky thought Courage talked too much in the first season, so Courage's dialogue was reduced to barely anything more than his frightened babbling... any actual talking he did do in those last three seasons was reduced to mostly to an Aside Comment every few episodes or a stock recording of Courage calling out for Muriel. | |

One of the bloopers for Glitter Force: Into the Glitterverse has Nozomi try to say "awake" and "alive" at the same time, resulting in "awive", then "awale", then finally just babbling like an idiot. | |

In The Parent Trap (1998), Annie (posing as her twin sister Hallie) goes into French (or French-sounding gibberish) when her dad tells her that he's going to marry Meredith. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Maud Pie", the title character says she likes to express herself through her wardrobe. When Rarity asks Maud what her current outfit is saying, Maud replies "It doesn't talk. It's a dress". Rarity tries to explain what she meant but soon lapses into embarrassed, incoherent spluttering. | |

In A Hat Full of Sky, the wizard Professor Bustle invites the eldritch creature known as the Hiver into his home, confident he can control it and make it work for him. His research notes, preserved as an awful warning to wizards contemplating following his line of research, start off as a parody of scientific notation but degenerate into megalomania of the I'll show them! type (with multiple exclamation marks included), followed swiftly by babbling and then gibberish. | |

Happens in an episode of The News Quiz, when Phil Jupitus starts to answer a question about Scottish devolution and the West Lothian Question, before realising he doesn't really know enough about the details to continue and descending into gibberish before rallying enough to say "And I don't want the points because I don't deserve them." (Sandi then tells him it was actually a rather accurate and succinct description of the situation.) | |

In the Criminal Minds episode "Amplification", one of the last stages of the poisoning causes the victims to babble absolute nonsense. The first time it appears it's almost comical, but because this sets the audience up for this actually being dramatic, the remaining times it's shown it's Played for Drama. In Reid's case, the babbling starts mid-sentence. | |
