Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This speak type for character has more muscle than brain. They substitute "Me" for "I", or else refer to themselves in third person. They put special emphasis on nouns and verbs, and most extra parts of the sentence are lost. If any name is too long, it gets substituted with a cruder name/description (often "(Descriptive adjective)-man or -lady"). They also skip any and all articles ("a," "an," and "the"). Favored words include "Smash", "Puny", and "Blank-thing" (e.g. "HULK SMASH PUNY LIZARD THING!" when fighting a velociraptor). Yes, the all-caps is necessary. The primary differences between Hulk speak and Baby Talk are usually at least six feet and 300 pounds.note No, Baby Talk has nothing to do with octopi that recently won a lottery in Europe. The most important characteristic of Hulk Speak is its minimalism. The format is usually, "Me, (the person speaking) (verb) (subject)." Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Prepositions, indefinite, and definite articles are almost completely stripped out; although given how redundant these usually are, (particularly the latter) in many cases the effect makes Hulk Speak easier to understand than plain English, at least when only a single subject is being discussed. In this sense, Hulk Speak could be considered a literal English translation of the Klingon language, which as you might expect, uses a very similar structure. This is a common trait of Frankenstein's Monster, especially in adaptations of Frankenstein — although, in the original novel, the monster spoke perfect French. This is also typical of cavemen. (The Hulk Speak, not the perfect French.) There is also a version sometimes seen in Japanese works (albeit not quite as often as in those written in English), where a character (usually a Funny Foreigner or Raised by Wolves type) is shown to speak in a somewhat broken fashion. Although still retaining the use of pronouns, they will often miss words used to bridge sentences and come off as simple or uneducated. English translations (particularly those written by Trish Ledoux), have a tendency to render this "broken Japanese" as out and out Hulk Speak. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Sometimes this dialect will spoof itself, with the character referring to complicated issues. ("Mongo only pawn in game of life.") Consistent with this, characters who use Hulk Speak often have surprising levels of intelligence and philosophical depth. In a sense, it could even be said that their form of speech is an intellectual advantage, as it allows them to simplify complex ideas. As with The Ditz, an easy way to derive humor from a character using Hulk Speak is to occasionally give them lines expressing more complicated concepts than their usual diction would imply they were capable of grasping. E.g. Thog's first line here and Draak's bit here. The trope's name is derived from the speech pattern of Marvel's Hulk. Contrast with Genius Bruiser and Spock Speak: the former is when a big tough guy is highly intelligent, the latter is when someone speaks with an excessively stiff, formal language. The Genius Bruiser will sometimes use Hulk Speak to hide his intelligence. You No Take Candle is when a foreign character, usually as a result of poor grasp of English, speaks like this. When trying to describe more complicated concepts, will often overlap with Buffy Speak. Compare Pokémon Speak where the only thing a character says is his or her name. |

Planet of the Apes: Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The apes, after being enhanced by the ALZ-113 formula, use sign language to communicate. These are subtitled in what appears to be Hulk Speak. ASL is actually a simplified language where most conjunctions are implied, so a literal translation would look very much like bad grammar. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: This is still exhibited, but the apes are slowly evolving out of it. They also only speak English to punctuate, otherwise using ASL in regular conversation. Used to awesome effect in the Final Battle, as Caesar and the villainous Koba battle it out for leadership of the tribe: |

Parodied in Narbonic, by a giant robotic foot built by Professor Madblood. "A robot foot?" "MASTER INTEND TO CONSTRUCT ENTIRE GIANT ATTACK ROBOT, BUT MASTER RUN OUT OF FUNDING AFTER ONLY FOOT COMPLETED. *click* MASTER ALSO RUN OUT OF FUNDS TO PROVIDE FOOT WITH ARTICLES OR PAST TENSES." This attracts the attention of heroic grammar enforcer, Antonio Smith, forensic linguist.

Most of time when Ryuuko speaks in Cellar Secrets, it's like this, considering that, due to being a currently rehabilitated Wild Child, she never quite learned to use grammatical syntax or to speak in sentences (at least onscreen, as Nui mentions her saying three sentences).

Abominus and Trypticon from the original cartoon suffer from similar problems, but unlike Grimlock and the Dinobots, "CRUSH METROPLEX" and "Computron think too much." is about the best than can do. Humorously in light of this, one comic series instead depicts Trypticon as an Affably Evil Genius Bruiser who spouts British Stock Phrases. In "The Ultimate Weapon" there were moments when Trypicon spoke more normally, "Trypticon is all powerful! Nothing can stand in my way!" and "Trypticon turn Metroplex into slum!". |

This was averted in the early Marvel vs. Capcom games (Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2), where the Hulk used complete sentences and spoke in the first person. This is because all of the MVC games prior to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 used the Hulk's Merged Hulk/"The Professor" incarnation from The '90s, rather than his more well known Savage Hulk personality. When he did use Hulk Speak, it was usually as a joke: | |

Supergirl: In Supergirl (Rebirth), secondary character Lar-On speaks this way when he turns into a werewolf. His beastly nature overwhelms him and he refers to himself in third person, barely uses names and verbs, and doesn't care about using correct verb tenses. In Bizarrogirl, Bizarros talk like this, omitting words or using wrong pronouns. |

The giant Grawp in Harry Potter uses Hulk speak, including simplified names like "Hagger" instead of "Hagrid" and "Hermy" instead of "Hermione".

This continues in Avengers, Assemble! and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.. In the latter series, he's even team leader and it's not every day he's driven into an incoherent rage. "Hulks, smash!" is used as their "Avengers, assemble!" cry. We learn he used to be like the classic Savage Hulk and is trying to atone for the years of rage-monsterdom, and, much like in EMH, he will revert to Hulk Speak when he's particularly angry and out of control, which is something he very much tries to avoid. The most common user of this speech pattern on Hulk and the Agents of SMASH is Skaar. In Ultimate Spider-Man, Hulk's appearances begin with him as his classic Hulk Smashy self, but at a reduced enough level to let him stay in on this more comedic series' hijinks when his usual personality would have him punch Spidey to the moon and bound away. (Basically, he's right out of The Super Hero Squad Show.) However, he's left somewhat more intelligent as a side-effect after Mesmero messes with his head. It seems the Avengers EMH portrayal is going to stick for a while, at least in animation. |

The trolls in the Discworld books often speak like this. Since their brains are essentially superconducting computers, the colder they get the smarter they get, and they often engage in the "complicated issues" subversion when sufficiently chilled. It is implied that, in their natural environment up in the mountains, they're actually quite cunning and it's the smarter ones who seek better life in the cities. Makes you wonder why, if they're the smart ones, they don't realize they're going to turn into babbling idiots in the lowlands. Completely justified with the superconducting computers fact. Troll brains in Discworld are made from silicon, and heat essentially makes them "lag" immensely. Detritus almost dies when they take him to the desert area of Klatch, presumably because his brain couldn't keep up with his own vital functions. They're not so much idiots as slow in the head. It's not really a case of not realizing they'll be slow in hotter climates; it's more a matter that they consider it worth it to leave, because of the much greater opportunities for advancement and mate-finding in the cities. It's also possible that they just don't realize exactly how much it will affect them despite knowing it intellectually. Trolls have in fact adapted quite well to the city, even going so far as to seek out the coldest areas of the city — like the Pork Futures Warehouse — to hold meetings. And at least a few of them actively engage in Obfuscating Stupidity — like Chrysophrase and in the later books, Detritus. Greatly aided by Cuddy's development of the first Discworld computer cooling fan ... |

Ultimate Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man: In his first appearance, the Green Goblin could only growl "Ppppaaaarrrrkkkkeeeerrrr". By the second time he got the hand of his mutated form and could speak fluently. Vermin, an enemy of the All-New Ultimates, only speak nonsenses like "Vermin hungry" or "Vermin kills". Spider-Man blamed the school system for it. |

In Ultimate Spider-Man, Hulk's appearances begin with him as his classic Hulk Smashy self, but at a reduced enough level to let him stay in on this more comedic series' hijinks when his usual personality would have him punch Spidey to the moon and bound away. (Basically, he's right out of The Super Hero Squad Show.) However, he's left somewhat more intelligent as a side-effect after Mesmero messes with his head. It seems the Avengers EMH portrayal is going to stick for a while, at least in animation. | |

Land of the Lost (1974) Averted with Marek, who is a caveman, yet speaks perfect English. One wonders how he came to learn it. Played straight with Cha-Ka. Justified in that he's a primitive humanoid learning English for the first time. The Marshalls do not do much better with Pakuni. They each get better at each other's languages over the course of the show. By season three he speaks it (almost) perfectly. |

The Order of the Stick: Thog. He refers to the twin brother of his boss, Nale, as "Not-Nale" and he has the classic line, "Thog not in this book. Thog sad." (Also, when breaking out of a prison, Thog becomes a darker green and yells "Thog smash puny prison!" as he obliterates the cell bars; once he goes back to his pale green, he wonders "How Thog's pants turn purple?") His most awesome (and also longest) line of dialogue so far is: Apparently, this is a common trait for the orcish people, as seen (and lampshaded) here. When Tarquin is pretending to be Thog, we get this exchange; It doesn't fool the Order for a moment, either: |

Schlock Mercenary has LOTA (acronym for "Longshoreman of the Apocalypse"); Lota is a robot designed to unload cargo at high speed, made from an old anti-grav tank and an overengineered, but underdebugged AI. When asked which gender pronouns to use, Lota replied "Lota is too large for your puny pronouns." Thus, Lota is only referred to as "Lota", never "he", "she", "it", or even "you". Other than the issue with puny pronouns, puny grunts and puny mob, however, LOTA speaks normally. | |

Surprisingly The Hulk doesn't speak like this in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!, this makes him seem a lot more intelligent. The closest we get is his Catchphrase: Hulk is strongest there is! Everything else is normal, or sarcastic/cynical. However, the more pissed off he gets, the more likely you are to hear Hulk Speak, rage apparently eroding his intelligence. (This, by the way, is when you want to run for your life.) | |

The animated adaptation of Planet Hulk subverts this, with Hulk talking like this for a few early sentences, but speaking fluent English for the rest of the film. The Planet Hulk comics had that too, but it was explained as a NEW version of the Hulk known as the Green Scar, who was able to tap into Banner's intellect to some degree as far as basic intelligence and strategizing (necessary for his survival on the hostile world). The Green Scar is essentially the classic Savage Hulk (who has the mind of a small child) all grown up. As alluded to above, several of the Hulk's alternate personas (notably The Professor, Gray Hulk/"Mr. Fixit," Doc Green and The Maestro) have averted this as well. |

Of all characters, Tony Stark gets reduced to this by the end of his feud with Norman Osborn during Matt Fraction's run.

Almost every Super Mutant in Fallout speaks that way. And if you play a character with less than INT 4, he/she will, too. Amusingly enough, if a "Hulk" protagonist talks to another functionally retarded character (Torr in Klamath), their speech is subtitled. Example: "Me Torr. (Greetings, my name is Torr. How do you do?)" "You Torr. (Quite well, thank you. Do you know where I might find work?)" Fawkes in Fallout 3 is a notable exception / subversion — he speaks in the same grunt-like fashion as the other Vault 87-variant super-mutants, but because he is intelligent and has managed to become well-read he is actually quite articulate. Uncle Leo, for some reason, is also intelligent and peaceful. He did say he read a book a long time ago but this may be before his transformation. The smart Super Mutants are all exceptions, though the Vault 87-variant as mentioned keeps the grunt-like fashion of speaking of their variant, while a significant portion of the smart West Coast variety have a habit of referring to themselves in third person for an unrelated reason note multiple personality disorder-related mental illnesses. The Swampfolk in Fallout 3: Point Lookout also speak this way, due to being mutant inbred hicks. Fallout 4 has a Super Mutant follower named "Strong" who's a NORMAL Super Mutant, whose principal interests are violence and... more violence. He Hulk-Speaks relentlessly. Dog from Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money also uses hulk speak, although his alternate personality "God" speaks rather eloquently.

It tends to come up in two different ways in Werewolf: The Apocalypse. In the case of lupus Garou (werewolves who started life as a wolf), as well as other shifters who began life as an animal rather than a human, it tends to happen because learning human language is tricky for them, and they're trying to do it while also learning all of the ins and outs of Garou society as well as the basics of their new human form (like, for example, walking upright). Thus, older/more experienced lupus Garou tend to grow out of it. Garou in Crinos (half-man, half-wolf war form) tend to talk like this regardless of their form at birth, although in this case, it's mostly because Crinos form has a canine muzzle and not the humanoid lips needed to form certain sounds. | |

The Land Before Time: The series has a downplayed variant: While the dinos use proper grammar for the most part, they tend to use simplified words for things that have long names, such as calling a Tyrannosaurus Rex a "sharptooth", or use words that indicate they don't entirely understand what the thing in question is (in the first movie, there are some star shaped leaves called "tree stars"). Somewhat strangely, the first movie has them use the word "earthshake" in place of "earthquake" despite them being the exact same length. | |

The Incredible Hulk, for whom this trope is named, but only the animated version and the "savage" version from the comics. In the movies, Hulk only roars, with a single line in the first three (2003 movie version has him saying "Puny human" in Bruce Banner's dream sequence; in the 2008 movie, Hulk said "HULK... SMASH!" during the final fight scene with Abomination — because it had to be said at least once — and in The Avengers, given Loki called himself a god before being beaten, Hulk walks away saying "Puny God..."). For the most part, however, he speaks correct, if terse, English. In Thor: Ragnarok he finally starts talking extensively in classic Hulk speak. The Hulk says "HULK SMASH!" pretty often in the comics, even in his more intelligent incarnations that are pretty smart and can actually speak perfectly fluent English. Then there was a partial subversion in Peter David's apocalyptic far-future Hulk story The Last Titan; the Hulk was given ample space for his thoughts, which while being in Hulk speak, were well-constructed and reasonable, though also mostly misanthropic and relating to various forms of violence. This is a case of Characterization Marches On, as in the Hulk's earliest appearances, he was much smarter and had better grammar. Even when he did refer to himself in the third person, it was still usually in longer, complete sentences. Later writers retconned this smarter incarnation into one of several alternate personalities within the Hulk, explaining the inconsistency. The Bixby/Ferrigno The Incredible Hulk TV series from the 1970s likewise averts this trope. Lou Ferrigno mostly stands there while he flexes, and Ted Cassidy provides voice-over growls. Writing Hulk-related reviews or previews as if the hero did them occurs at times — and is mostly hilarious. You can also check out how it looks when Hulk wrote his own article in this very wiki. The animated adaptation of Planet Hulk subverts this, with Hulk talking like this for a few early sentences, but speaking fluent English for the rest of the film. The Planet Hulk comics had that too, but it was explained as a NEW version of the Hulk known as the Green Scar, who was able to tap into Banner's intellect to some degree as far as basic intelligence and strategizing (necessary for his survival on the hostile world). The Green Scar is essentially the classic Savage Hulk (who has the mind of a small child) all grown up. As alluded to above, several of the Hulk's alternate personas (notably The Professor, Gray Hulk/"Mr. Fixit," Doc Green and The Maestro) have averted this as well. This was averted in the early Marvel vs. Capcom games (Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2), where the Hulk used complete sentences and spoke in the first person. This is because all of the MVC games prior to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 used the Hulk's Merged Hulk/"The Professor" incarnation from The '90s, rather than his more well known Savage Hulk personality. When he did use Hulk Speak, it was usually as a joke: Deadpool showed up in the Hulk books with his thought narration written in Hulk speak. Parody obviously has a field day, for example Marvel "What The" having a fight between Hulk and Thor, which essentially reduces to a fight Hulk Speak vs. Flowery Elizabethan English. |

In the Animorphs books, the Hork-Bajir mostly spoke in Hulk speak. In the earlier books, they also had a tendency to mix alien words into their sentences, but this decreased before long, and most of the things a Hork-Bajir says are pure English Hulk speak. In the Hork-Bajirs' case, this is clearly an effect of Aliens Speaking English. We can tell, because in a book that takes place on their own world, The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, the Translation Convention is in effect and all their sentences are rendered with normal grammar. The exception is Toby Hamee, since she is a Hork-Bajir seer, meaning she is much more intelligent than the rest of her race. | |

Gar from Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura is supposedly a "smart orc" who discusses some rather complex topics for an orc, all in Hulk speak. It is revealed however that Gar is actually a human (called Garfield Thelonius Remington III) from wealthy heritage who was born with a horrid similarity to an Orc, and is far more intellectual than he seems; specially if you discuss tea with him. Your own character adopts this trope with an intelligence stat of 4 or less, even in your written journal entries, e.g. "Law man wants me get rid of stinky thiefses on bridge". |

Saturday Night Live memorably spoofed Hulk Speak in their "death of Superman" sketch. Hulk, taking the podium at the Man of Steel's funeral, announced "Hulk... not... good... with... words" to excuse his reliance on notes, from which he read quite eloquently (with the aid of reading glasses): "Superman was that rarest of things..." And played straight in another skit where Barack Obama Hulks out and turned into "The Rock" Obama (naturally played by the man himself, Dwayne Johnson). Made somewhat surreal by how close Johnson sounds to Obama when he speaks. The "Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein" sketches make fun of the device, putting the titular trio on talk shows and political round-tables. Tarzan and Tonto are relatively articulate, falling more into You No Take Candle territory, and act as translators for the true hulkspeaker Frankenstein. "Fire bad!" |

Most G1 beast bots, giant bots, and combination bots talk like this, and it's seen with the good guys as well as the bad. With the combiners, it's generally held to be the result of a gestalt's mind containing only what all five members have in common. That leaves little but "Crush Autobots!" However, Predaking's five members are on the same page to the point that even though beast-bots and giant-bots in G1 generally have half the IQ of a box of rocks, Predaking - a giant bot made of beast bots - is very intelligent, and has a Kraven the Hunter-like personality. | |

The Team Fortress 2 fandom tends to give the Heavy Weapons Guy Hulk Speak in fanfiction; in the official video his English isn't very good but it's nowhere near this level. The Russian-language version of his Meet The Team video, meanwhile, reveals that he speaks perfectly fluently in his native tongue. This actually makes perfect sense because in the Russian language, there are no articles (words like "a", "an", & "the") at all, so for a native speaker of Russian trying to learn English, this would probably not be so unusual. Imagine if you're trying to learn a foreign language which has a whole category of words that do not even exist in your native language, and trying to learn when they're used, and when which ones are used. |

Doctor Who Leela with an interesting variation of this — a mixture of this trope and Spock Speak. Her grammar is always correct, but her word use and sentence structure is very simple. In her case, it's to reflect that she's relatively uncivilised, but also extremely intelligent. In "Day of the Daleks" we're introduced to the Ogrons, apelike aliens that the Daleks use as Dumb Muscle. The trope is played straight, only for the actor to stuff up and speak normally in his very next line (which clearly wasn't written for this trope anyway). |

Junpei from Megatokyo speaks like this. At first it appears to be justified by his limited knowledge of the English language, but his Japanese lines seem to be spoken in the same way. Then you realize that, as a parody of old movies with foreigners and ninja in particular, he should talk this way. An example from the issue #1012: Yuki speaks normal Japanese, but she also speaks English this way; this might be more because Magical Girl anime often runneth over with Gratuitous English. Yuki's is justified; one of her first English phrases is "I don't speak good English." |

An unusual inversion occurs in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome with the diminutive and technologically savvy Master, who often communicates in phrases like "Who run Bartertown?" and "Problem?

When she and fellow flunky Raijin (who ends all his sentences with "ya know?") decide to ditch Seifer, she gives a long non-capped speech about how they can't follow along with his self-destructive behavior. Her single word sentences carry over to her portrayal in Kingdom Hearts II. She at least doesn't shout her words. |

In Code Lyoko, William and other XANA-possessed humans are often quite monosyllabic (Polymorphic Clones even moreso). At least, once the influence has become obvious: strangely enough, they're just as verbose and natural-sounding as the person they're impersonating until their true nature is revealed. And sometimes, even using words is beyond their means: "YAAAAAAAAAR!" After the episode "A Lack of Goodwill", XANA-possessed William starts talking more normally, though still in a distorted voice. |

Various Transformers characters: Grimlock in Generation 1 and Animated. In the cartoons, this is apparently because he's stupid. In the various comics continuities - in everything but the shows, really - he is actually very intelligent, and the "Me Grimlock" speak, when present at all, is due to a faulty voice box, Obfuscating Stupidity, or both. In Robots in Disguise, he lacks this altogether, while in Cyberverse, he has it only when in his dinosaur mode due to the difference in intelligence between his two forms. Waspinator in Beast Wars. Tankor in Beast Machines. However, when he manages to unlock his spark's true intelligence, he begins speaking normally, but keeps up the hulk speak to deceive Megatron. Abominus and Trypticon from the original cartoon suffer from similar problems, but unlike Grimlock and the Dinobots, "CRUSH METROPLEX" and "Computron think too much." is about the best than can do. Humorously in light of this, one comic series instead depicts Trypticon as an Affably Evil Genius Bruiser who spouts British Stock Phrases. In "The Ultimate Weapon" there were moments when Trypicon spoke more normally, "Trypticon is all powerful! Nothing can stand in my way!" and "Trypticon turn Metroplex into slum!". Shattered Glass Grimlock actually managed to combine Hulk Speak with Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. Devastator from Revenge Of The Fallen; although he doesn't speak in the movie, there are large toys of the character with several pre-recorded phrases. Have fun with epic sayings such as "CRUSH AUTOBOTS!!!" and "I AM DECEPTICON!!!". We also get a shoutout to Transformers: The Movie from this toy, with "PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!" Tidal Wave. Most G1 beast bots, giant bots, and combination bots talk like this, and it's seen with the good guys as well as the bad. With the combiners, it's generally held to be the result of a gestalt's mind containing only what all five members have in common. That leaves little but "Crush Autobots!" However, Predaking's five members are on the same page to the point that even though beast-bots and giant-bots in G1 generally have half the IQ of a box of rocks, Predaking - a giant bot made of beast bots - is very intelligent, and has a Kraven the Hunter-like personality. The comics generally give them full intelligence, though Devastator is the first combiner, made before the process is perfected, leaving him as the only Hulk Smash-y one. A Marvel UK story has the Decepticons work on fixing this. |
