A good indication that something has gone wrong with your computer is when its voice starts acting up. Symptoms include slllurrrring, stu-stu-stu-stuttering, goingo utofs ync, gauwrblrwed audio, speedingup or SLOOOOWING DOOOOWN. This can be happen to anything from superintelligent mainframes to damaged Cyborgs. Why? Must be another handy feature of the Viewer-Friendly Interface. Subtrope of Computer Voice and an example of Acceptable Breaks from Reality. Probably influenced by real life audio devices exhibiting similar symptoms (analog media like records and tapes may speed up or slow down if there is a calibration error, and some computer programs will "stutter" when they freeze up, rather than simply going silent). If the computer has a futuristic AI, there is a good chance the next symptom will be turning evil. Oh, and if it starts speaking quicker and quicker, best stand back.... If it's trying to say its catchphrase, see Alternate Catchphrase Inflection. Compare Dying Vocal Change. |

In the Japanese/European version of Sonic the Hedgehog CD: Palmtree Panic's Bad Future theme has the cheering soundbyte from the standard theme play in a low, distorted tone that makes it sound positively nightmarish. Later in the theme, it plays as its regular pitch, but in a stuttery fashion: Metallic Madness' Bad Future theme has a synthesized voice spout several mocking phrases at you, finishing with a stuttery, "Sonic, dead or alive... is m-m-mine". |

A few of the more dilapidated animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy's speak in this manner, particularly in Ultimate Custom Night. Notable examples include Withered Bonnie*Speaks in a monotonous mechanical drone, with ominous buzzing, Withered Chica*Speaks with a lot of mechanical shuddering, Nightmarionne*A deep, evil voice that skips and loops randomly, and Rockstar Bonnie*A heavily, but poorly autotuned voice. | |

The Simpsons: In a Deleted Scene from "Burns' Heir", after the robotic Richard Simmons scares off Homer and accosts Smithers, Mr. Burns and Bart, Smithers shoots it in the face with a shotgun. It then goes critical while singing and dancing, ultimately exploding. In "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?", Homer sets up a dummy Homer at work while he's off doing something else, one part of which is a cassette tape of himself singing "She Works Hard for the Money". The dummy gets promoted because it has a good attitude, and gets moved to a corner office. Then the tape machine breaks, causing the song to slow down, then speed up, and after getting to the end saying "turn tape over". Somehow, reaching the end causes the whole thing to light on fire. In "Trilogy of Error": "Linguo... is... deeeeead..." In the "Treehouse of Horror XII" story "House of Whacks", when the Simpson family are dismantling their insane electronic housekeeper and take out the chip meant to give it a suave English voice, it starts slurring insults at them. In "Don't Fear the Roofer", Stephen Hawking appears As Himself, telling Homer he owns the local Little Caesar's restaurant, and writes "Pizza, pizza" with his synthesizer, when it starts repeating over and over. |

Hera, the AI autopilot in Wolf 359, has a glitch similar to a stutter. It's always there, but becomes especially pronounced when she's emotional or under a lot of pressure. This is eventually revealed to have been caused deliberately by her creator as part of a mental block, akin to Imposter's Syndrome, in order to keep her in line. As the series goes on and Hera becomes more independent, this glitch happens less and less. | |

Half-Life 2: Episode One provides a variation with the Overwatch voice, which can be heard spewing random, nonsensical orders due to being damaged by the Citadel's reactor exploding. In Black Mesa, the HEV-wearing zombies encountered in Xen repeatedly give garbled status readouts through their suits. Also, the automated intercom system actually has a human-sounding female voice, but when the HECU take control, it switches back to a droning voice similar to the original Half-Life, in mid-broadcast. |

A text-based version of this is used in Marathon: as the game progresses, the written communications from Leela, your AI Mission Control, become increasingly filled with error messages and strange glitches. A second AI, Durandal, has a brief moment on a hidden computer system where you can see a message by him that's devoid of capitalization and punctuation. Once you meet him properly, his grammar is back to normal, but his speech demonstrates a rather different sort of impediment — he's much more emotive than an AI is supposed to be. | |

In the Batman: Arkham Series starting with Batman: Arkham City, whenever the Riddler talks to others through a broadcasted message, his dialogue is filled with SHODAN-like stuttering. Given how much of an Insufferable Genius he is, it's likely a stylistic choice rather than an actual glitch. | |

Warframe: Though Ordis, the Cephalon AI of your ship, normally speaks in a calm, pleasant tone, he tends to occasionally slip into a harsher, more bloodthirsty tone. It's residual memories from his former life as Ordan Karris, the Beast of Bones, before his brain was uploaded as a new Cephalon AI. A later quest has Cephalon Jordas, whom seems to have a similar disposition to Ordis. Jordas has been overtaken by the Infestation Hive Mind by the time you get to him. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: This happens quite often to Mecha Freeza, often accompanied with sparking from his head. Android 19, after he's hit with Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, has his speech sped up briefly before slowing down: A more realistic example occurs in Super Android 13, in which the drivers for Android 14's sound card are corrupted, rendering his speech as unintelligible static. |

In Sword Art Online Abridged, Sachi lives out in the boonies and has a crappy internet connection, so sometimes she'll start stuttering and repeating herself when she tries to talk to other players. Unfortunately, this is what gets her killed, so her last words to Kirito come out as "this isn't your fault-your fault-your fault-YYOOUURR FFAAUULLTT", which traumatizes the little Jerkass so much that the words "your fault" become a Trauma Button for his Chronic Hero Syndrome. | |

The Destiny 2 DLC Warmind is about reactivating Rasputin, the titular Warmind, a solar-system-spanning military AI that Grew Beyond Their Programming a long time ago and went Ambiguously Evil, in the hopes that his creator can persuade him to become humanity’s mightiest line of defense once again. At the end, Rasputin declares that he will not be used as a dumb weapon, and that he will protect humanity on his own terms, all in booming Russian rife with digital artifacts. For some reason a lot of it is reversed, too. | |

The Nemesis from gen:LOCK speaks with a warped electronic stutter. Understandable, since it's an instance of Julian Chase, thoroughly corrupted from being trapped on a cyberbrain. Its impediment is bad enough that in its first speaking appearance, many viewers not only couldn't understand it but didn't even realize it was speaking, making the beginning of the next episode, in which all the characters ponder the implications of the many Wham Lines it dropped, somewhat incomprehensible. Fortunately, it's mostly intelligible from then on. | |

The creator, Jonathan Boakes, voices him, as well as Mr. Bones in the third game who also has a strange-sounding voice. | |

The voice of GLaDOS in Portal speeds up so much it is completely undecipherable on her death. Throughout the game, she occasionally stutters or dissolves into static, usually just before revealing pertinent information. The malfunctions earlier in the game were intentional on her part, as she was posing as a recording at the time. When it becomes clear she is an AI, she stops doing this until the final battle. | |

Max Headroom: Max is an experimental and somewhat accidental AI creation, which causes him to stutter not just his words, but his animation as well, as if his playback is being scratched by a DJ.

It is later revealled that it has to do with the UFO's ability to shutting down any electronics in its vicinity. Under its prescence, if someone is on the phone with someone or using walkie talkies, the receiver's voice will recieve the same effect as the record due to the electronic shutting down. | |

Toontown: Corporate Clash: Being locked in the dungeon of Ye Olde Toontowne for so long, the Public Relations Representative went insane and eventually became glitchy. His dialog would have stuttering, errors, and would eventually crash. This is best seen with his mannerisms and movement throughout his boss battle. Prethinker had attacked Duck Shuffler at some point, damaging his speech protocol and causing him to speak in Elmuh Fudd Syndwome. C.O.G.S. Inc. was unable to repair it, and Buck Ruffler filed a restraining order against Brian. Duck Shuffler takes this further when fused with Major Player during the High Roller fight. |

In "Redemption", Blake is being interrogated by a cyborg when Orac starts to hack into the Artificial Intelligence that controls their society and work mischief, leading to this trope. Played for Tear Jerker effect in "Terminal". |

In Touhou Luna Nights, Akyuu calls Sakuya before fighting Patchouli and gives her a tip about how to manage with the maid's time-manipulation abilities being limited. However, Sakuya mentions that she already got her abilities back. This causes Akyuu to stay silent then suddenly starts malfunctioning by repeating her talk to Sakuya when they first met in the fake world in a malfunctioning tone. The reason for Akyuu to malfunction is because, as it turns out, Sakuya shouldn't actually be able to get her abilities back while she's inside the world and Akyuu wasn't programmed with that possibility in mind. | |

Deltarune: Spamton G. Spamton is unbelievably messed up for reasons unknown, and so the parts of his dialogue that aren't in screaming all-caps are replaced with bracketed [terms] that are either vaguely related but interpretable or vaguely relevant sales pitches. And sometimes, certain higher concepts and shady offers result in [[Hyperlink blocked]]. He ends up coming off like an Orz spambot ran through an ineffective spam filter as a result. His speech is somehow even worse in the Japanese localization. His spelling switches wildly between katakana, hiragana, romaji, English words that sound like parts of Japanese ones, and Goroawase Number. | |

In Mega Man Zero 3, after being resurrected by Doctor Weil, Copy X-2 speaks with a stuttering voice, just like a broken record, due to being an imperfect reproduction of the original. This can be more appreciated on the drama tracks of the Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Telos. It makes more sense when you consider that the original Copy X was imperfect as well, making Copy X-2 imperfect twice over. | |

In Black Mesa, the HEV-wearing zombies encountered in Xen repeatedly give garbled status readouts through their suits. Also, the automated intercom system actually has a human-sounding female voice, but when the HECU take control, it switches back to a droning voice similar to the original Half-Life, in mid-broadcast. | |

System Shock: SHODAN is pretty much the defining video game example of this trope and it's creepy as hell. When she starts getting delusions of godhood thanks to her coding for ethical restraint being disabled, her voice becomes very distorted and broken (this was deliberately designed by the game's developers to mimic a malfunctioning sound card). She didn't have this previous to the disabling, instead speaking in a monotone (though more natural) voice. Notably, the second game makes it clear that she is capable of speaking normally, until she drops her charade and the distortion immediately starts back, implying she's doing this on purpose. | |

StarCraft II has a mission where you recover an old Confederate cyborg advisor. Given that the way you recover it is most definitely not careful and delicate, it gets slightly damaged, causing its voice to glitch and stutter but otherwise working fine. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: The ship's computer has been known to slur when compromised, such as when the gel packs degrade in "One". Also happens with the walking boiler... er, Killer Robot in the holodeck program The Adventures of Captain Proton. In one scene from "Bride of Chaotica!", the robot starts blaring away at alien intruders, only to receive a Dope Slap from the others, who are trying to make peaceful First Contact; it then shambles away muttering "IN-TR-UDERS..." sulkily. Earlier, when Seven of Nine is supposed to be playing the Damsel in Distress in "Night": |

In Machine Man, this is an indication that Dr. Charles Neumann's humanity is slipping away. Once he becomes a Man in the Machine, he gasps for every syllable of speech. As a Brain in a Jar, he loses punctuation and inflection altogether. | |

ANTI the slightly murderous AI from Dead Space 2 slurs and changes speed when the player takes a plasma cutter to her processors. Even before this her speech is slightly off, indicating to the player she is malfunctioning. | |

Happens to, of all people, Ursula, at the climax of The Little Mermaid (1989). After Eric has stabbed her and she dies, her voice, for some reason, goes all slow-motion. Likely a mixture between Rule of Drama and Rule of Scary. | |

In Heart of Steel, the A.I. Arthur starts stuttering and skipping badly just before Rampant!Jim takes him out. This is doubly disturbing to Alistair, who is connected mentally to Arthur and thus aware of the exact moment he goes down, taking Alistair's network connection with him. | |

The Naked Sun has as a major plot point that after a robot almost kills a human by accident (it gave him poisoned tea without realizing it was poisoned), its speech center is nearly fried by the Three Laws violation, and it has a noticeable lisp and stammer. This is a clue as to how a murder was committed early on, leaving only the body and a broken robot. (The murderer ordered a robot to detach its arm and give it to a woman while she was arguing with her husband. Finding herself in possession of a blunt weapon, and agitated enough to use it, the woman bashed her husband's head in — the robot, realizing part of it had just killed a human, shorted out.) | |
