Someone speaks with the speech audio reversed. This can be done to invoke a feeling of unreality or disorientation. It may happen in a dream or it may give an impression of a dreamlike state. In a filmed or animated work, it may manifest itself in a character reading literal speech written backward, or it may happen when a character attempts to pronouce the phonemes in a word or sentence in reverse order, or it may be done by taking regular audio and playing it backwards. In a written work the dialogue will be spelled backwards, and on rare occasions even the shapes of the letters may be flipped. Another version of this trope is the phenomenon known as "backmasking", when messages are hidden in rock music recordings by being recorded backwards, usually as an Easter Egg. (In Ye Olden Days when people played music on phonograph records it was easy enough to hear these hidden messages by making your turntable spin in reverse.) In the past, some of these messages have stoked controversy about their supposed subconscious effects on listeners; see Subliminal Seduction for more details. This trope is limited to speech, or the sound of someone's voice. For written works, this means that character monologue or dialogue is included in the trope (e.g. Zatanna's backwards-spoken spells), while in-universe writing is not (e.g. the inscription on the Mirror of Erised, since nobody reads it out loud in the book). May be used as part of a Rewind Gag. Compare Sdrawkcab Name, which might be written or spoken. Examples |

The Clone High episode "Raisin The Stakes" has a scene where JFK gets high on raisins and falls through a skylight, landing on a table. Between his highness and the massive pain of shattering his leg, he starts rambling in backwards speech. If one plays his words in reverse, it's a secret message exhorting viewers to keep watching Clone High and help it win an Emmy. | |

In the Red Dwarf episode "Backwards", the crew of the Dwarf visit an alternate universe where time runs backwards, and everyone speaks in Sdrawkcab Speech. (Reversing the episode's audio reveals that some of the dialogue is appropriate to the situation, some of it is just gibberish, and some of it is snarky commentary about how boring a person's life must be if they went to the trouble of reversing the audio.) | |

Halo: In the level "Gravemind" of Halo 2, there's a reverse-speech that plays throughout the bgm/background that can only be understood when reversing both at a careful level, both the voice and message itself is truly haunting. The Elites' dialogue in Halo: Combat Evolved was created by reversing and pitch-shifting some of Sgt. Johnson's dialogue. |

In Twin Peaks, the denizens of the Black Lodge have a strange singsongy way of speaking. What they did was have the actors read their lines forward into a recorder, play it backwards to learn how to recreate those sounds, film the scenes while saying the backwards lines, then re-backwards-izing it forwards. In The Return, they take it up to eleven and have the actors perform backwards, including the odd speech, just to add to the creepy factor. | |

Kaeloo: In "Let's Play Paranormal Stuff", Kaeloo manages to get a spirit to communicate with them through Quack Quack. Its speech is incomprehensible at first, and when Stumpy asks why he can't understand it, Kaeloo explains that spirits always speak backwards and asks the director of the cartoon to play the snippet of dialogue backwards so that they can hear what it's saying. The dialogue, when reversed, says "I am the great spirit of yogurts". | |

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck: "The Dream of A Lifetime" has a hilarious, unintentional example when Donald meets his mother as a baby in Scrooge's dream. At this point, Hortense is only able to say "glxblt", and an overjoyed Donald begins hugging and fussing over her. Fergus immediately grabs Donald by the neck, which causes him to garble "blxglt", and Hortense correcting, "Nuh-uh, glxblt!" | |

In A Night at the Opera, starring The Marx Brothers, Chico, Harpo, and their buddy Ricardo are impersonating three foreign dignitaries, with Groucho pretending to be their interpreter. A police captain calls them out as impostors, whereupon Groucho turns to the three and they start talking in what seems to be As Long as It Sounds Foreign gibberish. What it actually is, is normal English dialogue—Groucho says "Did you hear what he said? He said you were frauds and impostors!", then Chico and Ricardo say stuff like "How can he say a thing like that?", "This is ridiculous," etc—with all the dialogue played backwards. | |

Object Lockdown has Cherry, whose entire language is nothing but reverse English. She tried to explain why she speaks in reverse to Berry, but that failed. According to her, her backwards talk came years after she and her family moved to Ahi Island from Foodkraine in 1879. | |

In The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Wand", Gumball and Darwin pretend a toy wand Richard has is actually magic. When he hits them with a "reverse spell", Gumball says the words in his previous sentence ("Its power has overtaken you") in reversed order ("You overtaken has power its"). Darwin corrects him by speaking what is clearly a reversed recording of the same sentence. In "The Sale" after badmouthing Mr. Robinson, Gumball and Darwin demand Nicole to take it back. After saying, "Okay, okay, okay! I take it back!", she's told to properly take it back, saying, "Kcab ti ekat I. Yako, yako, yako!". |

Pokémon: The Series: In "Clefairy Tales", when Jessie and James disguise themselves as aliens, they continuously chant, "Nomékop", which is "Pokémon" spelled backwards. There's an instance where James of Team Rocket talks backwards when being swallowed by his Victreebel. The message is "Leo Burnettnote an advertising executive and 4Kids are the devil", an intentional protest by James's voice actor Eric Stuart against not being paid for commercial work. Kartana's cry is made up of the phrase "Once again I have cut a worthless object", or portions thereof, played backwards. The English dub did the same thing. |

After a few tape-player backmask translations, he asks if the Icon of Sin has to keep talking backwards all the time, leading to the latter dropping the backmasking charade and starting talking in normal speech from here on. | |

Control has a mirror you can enter in, leading to a Mirror World version of the lab where Jesse speaks backwards. Her internal monologue remains unaffected, however. An audio log also sits outside the Mirror, with the interviewer failing to get any answers to her questions out of the ranger that just left the Mirror because his speech is reversed. When you find the same audio log inside the Mirror, the interviewer's speech is reversed and the ranger's speech is forward. | |

It's everywhere in Gravity Falls - for example, at the end of every theme song is a whisper that, if played backwards, reveals a way to solve a secret code in the end credits. But one of the most notable examples is during Bill Cipher's death, where he shouts gibberish that translates to what seems to be a way to eventually bring him back to life: The show also pokes fun at its own usage of the trope at one point, where the chant to summon Bill is “backwards message� backwards, making it a very literal case of Sdrawkcab Speech. |

In Spy Kids, the nonsense songs sung by the characters of the Show Within a Show Floop's Fooglies are actually cries of "Floop is a madman, help us, save us!" spoken backwards by the mutated and imprisoned Fooglies. | |
