Characters who are having a mental breakdown sometimes become fixated on a certain phrase that they repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat until everyone in the world is sick of it. This could be from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or due to ruminative depression, where a person becomes trapped in a loop. Sometimes, this chanting allows the character to snap out of their insanity. Sometimes, it becomes their life-long theme song as they rock back and forth in a padded, locked room in a psychiatric institute. If they aren't locked up, expect a room with every square inch covered with the handwitten phrase. When combined with As the Good Book Says..., the ominousness goes through the roof. Just about every mental institution scene has someone chanting some sort of non sequitur phrase in the background. And woe betide us all if this non sequitur should be significant. May result in the terms becoming meaningless and possibly descend into a strange form of Mondegreen thanks to the human knack of picking up patterns out of nothing. Contrast the Talkative Loon, who at least varies the chatter. Compare to Cluster F-Bomb and Rapid-Fire "No!". If this involves singing, see Tuneless Song of Madness. A Survival Mantra is an attempt to master fear and pain, but when it doesn't work, you find the point where that trope crosses over into this one. Must trope. Must trope. Must trope. Must trope. Must trope. Must trope. |

In Sluggy Freelance, when Oasis (who qualifies as Ax-Crazy even in the best of mental states) finds out about what Zoe looks like, she goes into a frightening Yandere persona that repeats her Pretentious Latin Motto, "Nosce te ipsum". The irony of her situation ("Know thyself" is the translation, when Oasis has no idea what she is) finally halts her rampage when she realizes it. | |

Oyasumi Midoriya: The endnote for layer 8 is an encoded phrase repeated 24 times. Decoding the phrase reveals it to be "brain matter all over the floor", ultimately foreshadowing Shigaraki's death during the USJ attack. Layer 53's endnote, when decrypted, is the word "why" repeated 520 times, followed by the phrase "i feel bad". |

Episode 40 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged shows Popo in a bonafide Out-of-Character Moment, staring down at the floor of Kami's lookout and repeatedly going, "All these squares make a circle...all these squares make a circle..." When Piccolo asked about his unusual behavior, Kami tells him that Mr. Popo had just gotten down dropping a gallon of LSD. "A literal gallon. Out of a milk jug." In Episode 53, the episode begins with Goku and Gohan training, but when Goku sees some of the entrance wrecked, he starts panicky muttering "Don't break Popo's stuff... don't break Popo's stuff..." |

Gustav misheard him, and thought he was saying "M.T.", which is how he ended up with the name Mollymauk Tealeaf. When Molly is revived in the finale, he panics and tries to make a run for it while babbling "empty, empty, empty" to himself, and "empty" ends up being one of the very few words he's able to say before Jester casts Greater Restoration on him. | |

The Metal Lives The Metal Lives The Metal Lives The Metal Lives..." BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! Dawn of War: "ATTAAAACK! BREAK THEM IN HALF! ATTAAAACK! BREAK THEM IN HALF! SPLIT THEM OPEN!" Servants of Khorne are not known for their subtlety. Transience of flesh; purity of form...Transience of flesh; purity of form...Transience of flesh; purity of form... (from a certain mutation cult) Chaos does this a lot (it's all in the name, really). Other examples include "SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK!" and "IT IS AS THOUGH A THOUSAND MOUTHS CRY OUT IN PAIN!" and the above-mentioned BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!. And yes, upper case and exclamation marks are necessary in all examples. |

In the Unus Annus video "Mark Knows What Ethan Did...", Mark kept repeating "The grip was loose...". For context, he and Ethan had done a grip strength test earlier in the year, where the loser would have to be the winner's butler for a day. Ethan supposedly won, but as revealed in this video, he cheated - his grip was loose. | |

Each of the last three episodes of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared features one. The Teacher from episode 4 tries to demonstrate the variety of options on the internet, but there are only three things to do. It doesn't stop him from repeating the three options ad nauseum to the point that it ends up corrupting the digital world. The Healthy Band's song descends into disharmony when they start to sing "You shouldn't eat food from a stranger's plate" with increasing intensity. It coincides with the serving of Duck Guy by to Yellow Guy. As the Yellow Guy drowns in oil in the sixth episode, all the Lamp can do is happily cry "Looks like somebody's having a bad dream! A bad dream! Bad dream! Bad dream! Bad dream..." |

The Badger: "Tear the roof off the sucker! Tear the roof off the sucker!" is the mantra of Clarence Cornice, a six-foot six architect whose short partner Frank Lloyd Wrong insisted on building houses with a six foot ceiling until Cornice became homicidally deranged. Badger used the phrase in a later episode when feeling homicidal himself. |
