| Hurricane of Aphorisms | comment |
Sometimes characters tend to indulge in long strings of proverbs, sayings, and aphorisms. This is very typical for mentors, sages, and enlightened ones (especially in Eastern culture) — often parodied when the character simply pretends to be wise and speaks in Ice Cream Koans. At other times, two or more characters may engage in exchanges or even "duels" of aphorisms. May lead to someone Waxing Lyrical. |

El ChapulÃn Colorado: The title character constantly attempts this and messes it up, with hilarious results. For example, the two Spanish proverbs CrÃa fama y echate a dormir ("Cultivate a good reputation, and go to sleep") and Al que crÃa cuervos le sacarán los ojos ("Raise crows and they shall pluck your eyes out"), get mixed up into CrÃa fama y te sacarán los ojos ("Cultivate a good reputation, and they shall pluck out your eyes") and CrÃa cuervos y echate a dormir ("Raise crows and go to sleep"). | |

Heralds of Valdemar: In Mercedes Lackey's series, the Shin'a'in have a billion proverbs, and they quote them at the drop of a hat. One character encounters a spirit Shin'a'in who quotes them for a solid minute, before he finally breaks in with another proverb: "Who is wisest says least." | |

Stargate SG-1: Oma Desala's distinctive trait is her penchant for speaking in koans. The Kheb Monk also speaks this way. An episode has the team reacting to an apparently idylic planet with various aphorisms which paraphrase to "appearances can be deceptive", until it's O'Neill's turn and all he can come up with is "Never... run with scissors?" O'Neill meets his match in the Season 7 opener: The final scene of the series ends with the team reciting several aphorisms before departing through the stargate. |
