The Logical Extreme of a catchphrase. Not only is this word or phrase something that a person habitually says and identifies that person, but that person never says anything else (and may well be unable to). In short, someone with an extremely limited vocabulary. It may be a single word or a short phrase. The single word may be gibberish or a nonsense word. Sometimes, the tension that builds up from this limited communication is resolved by having the character finally add another word or two to their vocabulary. The limited vocabulary may be due to being very terse and laconic, not speaking the dominant local language, a mental disability, an old age-related condition, or because the speaker is a talking animal or alien species. Pokémon Speak is a Sub-Trope (where the "one word" is specifically their name). See also Welcome to Corneria where NPCs in a video game only ever talk like this. This does not mean they can't say the phrase with many different tones and intensities, but the words seldom (if ever) vary. |

The seagulls in Finding Nemo can only say "Mine!" whenever they see a potential meal (whatever unlucky sea creatures they want to hunt). Similarly, Bubbles the yellow tang nearly always says "Bubbles!" or "My bubbles", in the stage version, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... And Beyond!, all of Bubble's lines are "Bubbles" including in songs. The script includes translations for the actor to add appropriate inflection. | |

In the finale of the regular series, it is revealed that not only can he speak English, but he's actually a spy getting revenge on the Bluths for stealing his father's frozen banana business.

Discworld: The Librarian only says "ook", "eek" and "ooo". In The Wee Free Men there's a man in fairyland who only says "sneebs". Slight twist in that his actual meaning (normal words) appears in the hearer's brain. In a dream sequence in Wintersmith, Tiffany Aching meets the "Jolly Sailor" who appears on her grandmother's tobacco packets. He can only say "A Good Smoke in Any Weather!" because that's what's written in his speech bubble on the packet. Quoth the raven subverts this by refusing to say "the N word", "nevermore" (and was thus named by a previous owner, a wizard with a deplorable sense of humor). Another animal character with a vocabulary like this is the Death of Rats, whose dialogue consists entirely of "SQUEAK" (always in all capitals). |

When Bubbles the intelligent watercooler first appears in Skin Horse, all she can say is the phrase "Service is my only joy!" As she develops (and starts dating Unity) she begins using fragments of this sentence to mean different things. (Muttering "Service, service" when she'd rather be on a date with Unity, for instance.) And then she spontaneously develops the ability to say "Service is NOT my only joy!" under Tigerlily's influence. After she spends some time with one of the Killotron robots (who themselves have a downplayed example where they will replace certain words in sentences with their One Word, like the Smurfs), she learns the word "destroy", bringing her total vocabulary to seven words. |

Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy spends a long time only able to say "I am Groot". This started out being a reflection of how much his intelligence had been reduced since Tales to Astonish, but was later presented as if he was saying quite complex things if you could understand him (the first character to claim this was Maximus the Mad, and most people assumed he was living up to his name, but later Rocket Raccoon became a Translator Buddy). In Infinity Countdown, Groot's speech returned to what it was in his original appearance. | |

In one of The Nostalgia Critic's commercial reviews, this is used for a joke in the commercial about Denny's "Red, White & Blue" pancakes. When the old man says "America" in response to the question about what the pancakes taste like, the Critic goes off on an inspired tangent about how the entire history and everything the country stands for is contained within these pancakes, only to realize shortly after that "America" is all that the old man can say. | |

She is actually the Cosmos Fiend, whose special ability is that she has all the knowledge that ever was and ever will be in her head.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The vocabulary of Big Macintosh mostly consists of two words: "Eeyup" and "Nope". Thie is a case of flanderization, as he did have more dialogue in his first appearance, which is handwaved in "Hearts and Hooves Day" when Apple Bloom points out that Big Mac is rather shy when it comes to ponies he's not related to. Most of his other dialogue falls under O.O.C. Is Serious Business. He does start talking more in later seasons, especially around his girlfriend. Pinkie Pie's twin sister Marble Pie only says "Mmm-hmm". |

Tisiphone from Hades: Her vocabulary consists purely of "murder" and "murderer", usually spoken with plenty of Trrrilling Rrrs. Zagreus starts out somewhat creeped out by both this and her appearance, but soon learns to take it in stride and begins openly snarking at her. She later learns one additional word: "Zagreus" to which she uses to form the sentence "Murder Zagreus". | |

In Five Nights at Fuckboy's, Chica, as well as her Withered and Phantom counterparts, is only capable of saying "Devour my hot bird ass Freddy". Sometimes, she adds "dead" before "Freddy" when talking about him being dead, or replaces "Freddy" with other name of whoever she addresses (like Splash Woman), or just drops "Freddy" entirely, but otherwise, she's incapable of saying anything else. The only time when she said something other than her usual phrase is when she and her fellow animatronics got trapped in the 80's, resulting in Chica uttering a single "Fuck". Though, as her conversation with Freddy in Act 3 of the third game shows, she can convey different meanings with her phrase, which can be understood by anyone who knows her closely. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: One episode has Dexter screw up trying to learn French in his sleep and wake up the next morning only able to say "omelette du fromage" (roughly "omelette with cheese".) Curiously, though, he finds that saying that actually works in normal conversation, to the point that he's able to answer class questions, order lunch, and even bring about world peace just by saying that single phrase. But the only thing he can't do? Speak the password to his laboratory. | |

Gravity Falls: Shmebulock is the only forest gnome who's cursed to say his own name and nothing else. He tends to communicate with body language to compensate for the lack of verbal diversity. Same goes with his father Shmebulock Sr. However, he can be seen shouting "Queen!" with the other gnomes in the first episode to Mabel. | |
