They coulda been a contender. They coulda been somebody more original, instead of being imitations of Marlon Brando, which is who they are not. A Mumbling Brando will tend to speak in a hesitant drawl, with a few non-verbal grunts thrown in. Compare The Ahnold, Bruce Lee Clone, Charlie Chaplin Shout-Out, Elvis Impersonator, Freddie Mercopy, Hoax Hogan, Lorre Lookalike, Mr. Alt Disney, Shirley Template and Trumplica for other parodic depictions of real-world celebrities. |

Done with that very intention in Muppet Treasure Island. During the song "Professional Pirate", many of the pirates list jobs they coulda had. One guy says "he coulda been a contender" in a very familiar sounding voice. | |

Revenge of the Pink Panther. While infiltrating the French Connection, Inspector Clouseau dresses in his Godfather disguise, consisting of an overly-padded pin-striped suit and stuffing cotton balls in his cheeks. While drinking a toast with a genuine Mafioso, he accidentally swallows a cotton ball and starts choking. | |

Spitting Image: Done in a sketch where Rod Steiger and Marlon Brando mimick their famous scene from On the Waterfront. Steiger complains how he never became a big star like Brando. Brando starts talking to Steiger, but takes a very long time to end his sentence. Finally it turns out that he scolds Steiger because "you... never... never, never... knew ... how... to make one sentence last... for minutes." | |

Sleeper - Woody Allen is undergoing a deprogramming - something goes wrong and he assumes the persona of Blanche du Bois from A Streetcar Named Desire. To give them time to sedate him, Diane Keaton plays Stanley Kowalski, seen here. | |

Winfred "Big Wins" Kitaki in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is a rare Japanese example, down to his Face Framed in Shadow and his limited speech animation to denote mumbling. At the end of his featured case, it is revealed that the shadows covering his eyes are actually his eyebrows, and they were just covering his Black Bead Eyes because he was so stressed. He also speaks more clearly after the happy ending. | |

The Latin American dub of Crayon Shin-chan adapted Principal Takakura's speech this way. It's even lampshaded as Shin-chan calls him "El Padrino" (lit. "The Godfather"). | |

Jokingly justified in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, where the Brando-analogue Don Giovanni has cotton balls in his mouth (which, incidentally, was the reason Brando had his distinctive mumble in The Godfather). | |

In Bells Are Ringing, Blake Barton is an aspiring actor who talks like this all the time. Ella finds him in a whole Malt Shop filled with Brando imitators lounging around in motorcycle jackets and jeans. She herself enters this place with a leather jacket, flat shoes, and a bunch of marbles which she keeps in her mouth just long enough to introduce herself with a Stanley Kowalski-like cry of "Hey, Fellaaaa!" Her message for Blake is to stop mumbling and buy a suit if he wants to get the part. | |
