Similiar to G-Rated Sex and G-Rated Drug, this is when a type of insanity is represented in a child-friendly manner, such as depicting the character simply in a straitjacket or wearing a hat with a big red N on it whilst rolling his eyes in strange directions. Most of the time it doesn't delve too much in the delusional psyche of the subject as it would make the implications too disturbing and the type of insanity is always presented in a lighthearted way, without poignant or violent connotations. May or may not be accompanied by whacking oneself/others over the head with a large mallet, giving gratuitous kisses, laughing uncontrollably while jumping around like a superball, and an inability to keep one's tongue in one's mouth at any given time. Needless to say, this doesn't help people's real-life perceptions of mental illness, and it's difficult to imagine the mentally handicapped being ridiculed like this. The Eccentric Townsfolk usually have at least one such G-rated madman (or more!) among the residents. See also The Mad Hatter. |

The original portrayal of Daffy Duck in his late 1930s-'40s appearances he'd laugh constantly, his eyes would point in different directions, his tongue would sometimes hang out, and he'd click his heels together and do flips around the pond shouting "woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo!" | |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Psycho the weasel. His eyeballs spin around constantly, he's wrapped in a straight jacket, his tongue hangs out, and most of his dialogue consists of either laughter or "kill the rabbit!" | |

Ren from The Ren & Stimpy Show is an aversion. Despite the cartoon being aimed at kids, his manic moments weren't always Played for Laughs and often stepped into family-unfriendly territory. For starters, the episode "Stimpy's Fan Club" contains a very long and elaborate scene of Ren rambling psychotically and considering killing Stimpy. His Freak Out in "Sven Hoek" after Sven and Stimpy wreck the house is quickly replaced with his Tranquil Fury accompanied by a To the Pain monologue. | |

Insane, inappropriate, neurotic, and unstable sims in The Sims 3 are this. Insane sims have massive mood swings, wear inappropriate clothing, and will talk to themselves constantly. Inappropriate sims will sponge bathe themselves in the sink, heckle innocent passersby, and wear the wrong clothing. Neurotic sims will talk to themselves, share conspiracy theories, spy on the neighbors, and constantly "check" objects. Unstable sims will randomly swap out their personality traits. Fitting the series, this is played as humorously quirky. The Sims 4 has the Erratic trait, which functions much like the Insane trait from the previous game | |

Similar to Gir, most of the insane robots from Futurama are this, rambling about nonsense, exploding randomly, or acting like Napoleon. Subverted with Roberto, who is actually violent and dangerous. | |

Some of the characters in Psychonauts, at least on the surface, are like this. Fred Bonaparte, a stereotypical Napoleon wannabe, remains like this through most of the game. Gloria van Gouton starts out like this, but as you see more of her mind, it gets darker, while Edgar Teglee starts out tragic and becomes more silly and pathetic, and while his issues are serious Raz helps him accept that he needs to move on. Half the cast either play this straight or subverts it, really... |

The character of Freaky Fred in Courage the Cowardly Dog is a surprisingly somber version of this, effectively terrifying children with slow, meticulous speech, uncomfortably uncanny movement patterns, and bizarre fixations, particularly with hair. The trope is interestingly invoked with Fred since the character is being used to scare kids by tapping into their natural discomfort with people who are different. |

Gir from Invader Zim runs around for no reason, shouts non-sequiturs, has random mood swings, and generally acts strange. Justified, as he's a malfunctioning robot. When locked into Duty Mode, however, he becomes sane, and evil. | |

In the finale of Blackadder Goes Forth, Blackadder decides that he can do a convincing impression of insanity by putting underpants on his head, sticking pencils up his nose and saying "wibble." However, Melchett stated he shot an entire platoon attempting the same stunt. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie dances between this trope and just plain terrifying in some episodes. Her eccentricity ranges from plain silliness to psychotic breakdowns. In the episode "Read It and Weep," there was a gag based around this - the barking heard during a chase scene turned out to be a background character who was acting like a dog. A doctor then told her to "get back to the hospital". |

Monty Python's Flying Circus often portrayed "loonies" as being whacked-out and acting in a completely random and bizarre manner. From YouTube: The Rev. Arthur Belling, vicar of St Loony Up The Cream Bun and Jam in the "Silly Disturbances" sketch. He appears again (played by another Python) in the "Appeal for Sanity" sketch. The Silly Party candidates in this sketch. The Ideal Loon exhibition. |

Muzzle in Road Rovers is usually straitjacketed, muzzled, and strapped to a gurney. However, when he's let loose from the restraints the resulting scene is always offscreen but heavily implied to NOT be G-rated. | |
