When a character will open his mouth to speak or make voices while having no dialogue, and the instant they do, you immediately know that this character is a dumb or pretty stupid character. Whether he's an over-muscled Mook or she's the Plucky Comic Relief, the one thing you can tell just by their voice is the fact that his elevator just doesn't go all the way to the top floor. Alternately, it is common for someone to put such a voice on to make fun of someone who supposedly doesn't grasp something obvious or just giving this to display The Ditz. Very common for this kind of voice in animated works, because allegedly such an obvious characterization tool that appeals to children. In The Golden Age of Animation, this sort of voice was used a lot by characters who were a parody of Lennie from the film adaptation of Of Mice and Men or to reference a goofball character. When the character is male, generally expect a halting voice in the low registers, silly inflections in his voice, or else a high-pitched, nasally quavering, with most sentences beginning with the word 'duh'. When the character is female, expect a high-pitched nasally whine or an even higher-pitched squeak-fest. Often, characters with this voice will use poor grammar or Hulk Speak. Male characters often substitute the t or d sounds for the th sound, like saying "dat" for "that." A Valley Girl accent helps for common, female ditzes. They may occasionally utter a Stupidly Long Filler Sound, just to enhance their dimwitted nature at times. A very common characteristic of Mooks and The Ditz, as well the Moose Are Idiots, Dogs Are Dumb, Dumb Dinos or a Doofy Dodo characterization. Contrast Unintelligible Accent and Nerdy Nasalness. |

Sonic The Hedgehog: Big the Cat has a slow, ponderous voice to match his slow and ponderous demeanor. Zomom from Sonic Lost World speaks in some sort of country bumpkin-like accent and is a simpleminded glutton. Cubot, the dumber one of Eggman's two robot cronies, actually has a large number of stupid voices he can do, on account of a defective voice box. |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson is the leader of a small crowd of such characters that also include his friend Barney Gumble (whose exaggerated slurred drawl is because he's almost always drunk), Cletus (who has stereotypical "yokel" voice), and Chief Wiggum (who has a comical nasally voice based upon Edward G. Robinson's) and his son Ralph (who uses a vacuous-sounding high-pitched variation). However, Homer is definitely one of the most iconic examples in western animation. Parodied/subverted with Oxford "Ox" Haas, one of the soldiers Grampa Simpson served with in World War II in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish." He spoke with this voice, and looked exactly like the kind of person who would, but is actually smarter than he seems. In "Lisa The Simpson", an Imagine Spot in which Lisa imagines her future after losing her intelligence where she's inexplicably gained a southern accent. |

Looney Tunes: Any character that parodies Lennie Smalls, such as Hugo the Abominable Snowman from "The Abominable Snow-Rabbit" and Benny the cat from "Hoppy-Go-Lucky" (who even calls Sylvester "George"). Here is a compilation of such characters. Cecil Turtle is a subversion. He has the rather low-pitched, slow, goofy-sounding voice expected of a nitwit, but he's the only character who outwitted Bugs Bunny every time. Beaky Buzzard has a deep, low voice like Edgar Bergen's "Mortimer Snerd"; in-house he was alternately known as "The Snerd Bird". Junyor Bear of the Three Bears, voiced by Stan Freberg, has the oafish type that marks him as older than his dress code suggests. |

Total Drama: Brainless Beauty Lindsay speaks in a high-pitched childlike Valley Girl voice that instantly gives away her extreme lack of intelligence. Max is a super-villain wannabe who believes he's an Evil Genius, but in actuality, he's a bumbling buffoon. Downplayed with Sugar. While she has a heavy hick accent, and is certainly Book Dumb and ditzy, she is a lot more cunning and ruthless than her style of speech would suggest. |

In The Order of the Stick, half-orc Thog the Dumb Muscle Bumbling Sidekick is implied to sound like a moron just as much as he is one. His general speech pattern is Hulk Speak, the text of his speech bubbles is emboldened and transcribed in all lowercase letters and to top it all off he's a Third-Person Person. It was later revealed that all orcs speak like this, though they can apparently grow out of it through grammar lessons. | |

Crabbe and Goyle from the Harry Potter books. Both are dim-witted lackeys of Harry Potter's school nemesis Draco Malfoy. Even Malfoy himself at one point describes Goyle as being so slow that if he were any slower, he'd be going backwards. Crabbe speaks mainly a soft but deep grunt, Goyle speaks in a low, raspy voice. They sound equally dumb in the film versions. | |

The Flintstones: Barney Rubble didn't originally have one (with a more high-pitched, nasal Joisey accent), but after Mel Blanc recovered from a car accident in 1961, he settled into a deeper and more goofy-sounding voice from then on. It became even more prominent when Frank Welker took over. Averted with Kevin Michael Richardson's take on Barney, which uses Barney's older Joisey voice. | |

Caboose from Red vs. Blue. Early episodes didn't have it, but Joel Heyman eventually got the voice to a "obvious moron" one, and the writing ramped up the character's stupidity as well. Joel also explained that Caboose speaks like a human does so to a dog or cat, "only everything to him is an animal". | |

Batman: The Animated Series: Invoked by Batman whenever he is being Bruce Wayne in public, to strengthen his cover as a useless rich guy. Bruce tends to downplay Batman's normal baritone and speak in a somewhat higher pitched and more cheerful voice, as well as using a much more simple vocabulary. Harley Quinn spoke in the female variation, complete with a Jersey-like accent. In the episode "Mad Love", it's revealed that before she was brainwashed by the Joker, she spoke in a lower pitched voice and the accent was more subtle. Also subverted; not only can she switch to a deeper, un-accented voice at will (as shown in the episode, "The Man Who Killed Batman"), but she's actually highly intelligent, not only having been a psychologist before her brainwashing, but able to pull off a perfectly good and understated gem heist on her own. The implication is that she acts like this because the Joker prefers for her to act stupid. |

The Fairly OddParents!: Cosmo has an extremely high pitched voice. In fact, thanks to his Flanderisation from "goofy but smart" to "straight up idiot", his voice got progressively higher. In the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, he was pretty intelligent (probably even smarter than WANDA) and had a deep and smooth voice. In first few seasons, when he was goofier and less intelligent, but not to terrible levels, he had higher voice, but it still had a natural tone to it. In later seasons, when he became Too Dumb to Live, he has voice so high you would swear that either his original voice actor got replaced or that his voice is digitally edited to sound like that. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Patrick Star is one of the top examples in western animation; most probably first heard the stereotypical low-pitched, goofy-sounding dopey kind of voice associated with this trope from him. However, up until Season 9, the Japanese dub of the TV seriesnote but not the first movie gave Patrick a high-pitched voice similar to Masako Nozawa's Goku. Peter Browngardt, aka Uncle Grandpa, makes a guest appearance in the Season 10 episode "Patrick's Coupon" as the Ice Cream King and used Uncle G's voice. The similarity between the voices is uncanny. In the German version, they brought back Patrick's original German voice to voice the Ice Cream King. In "Squirrel Jokes," when Sandy pretends to be Lethally Stupid in order to make SpongeBob stop telling jokes about squirrels being stupid, she exaggerates her southern accent, accents her sentences with "duh," and her voice becomes slightly lower-pitched. |

Tristan of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. But it does give him super strength! It's a reference to how he had this kind of voice in the first ten episodes of the 4Kids dub, before Greg Abbey took over the role and gave him a completely different sounding voice. Zorc, being far more childish than his canon self, has an appropriately dopey-sounding voice. Miho from Season 0. Her speech mannerisms show that she isn't very smart. |

Beezy from Jimmy Two-Shoes. According to his voice actor, Brian Froud, it was originally a bad impression of Brad Garrett that then just evolved into "this dog-like, child-like voice". | |

Any character that parodies Lennie Smalls, such as Hugo the Abominable Snowman from "The Abominable Snow-Rabbit" and Benny the cat from "Hoppy-Go-Lucky" (who even calls Sylvester "George"). Here is a compilation of such characters. | |

Homestar Runner: Strong Mad speaks in an extremely exaggerated version of this trope, Played for Laughs. Most of his dialogue is nigh-unintelligible growls, but if you listen closely he is saying actual words... probably. Homestar Runner himself is a (somewhat) more subdued version of this trope. | |

In Bells Are Ringing, Ella adopts a "dumb chorus girl" voice during "Just In Time" when an audience gathers to watches her dance with Jeff, but goes back to singing in a normal voice before the song ends. (This was another role originated by Judy Holliday.) | |

Chris Griffin from Family Guy. This wasn't actually the intention; Seth Green went into the audition and decided to do his impression of Ted Levine as Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs as a joke, but ended up getting the part. Inevitably, this is referenced in a cut-away gag where Chris does an impression of Buffalo Bill dancing naked (and tucked back) in front of a mirror. And in the original version of the Pilot, his voice is more of a typical low-pitched simpleton voice. Exaggerated (unintentionally) in the AI-generated AI Peter parody, where Chris' text-to-speech AI will often mispronounce or slur words and also has him constantly shouting every word, making him sound even stupider (and earning him the nickname "Loudris"). For that matter, Barry in American Dad!, who has the same voice, only slightly more affected. Well, it isn't his real voice but the voice he has while heavily drugged to suppress his true, evil personality. His real voice is a cultured accent. |

Dragon Ball Z: In the original Japanese, Son Goku is voiced with the equivalent of a country hick accent. This is an essential part of his character for Japanese viewers (along with generally sounding like a child), but was excised in the English dub. Recoome of the Ginyu Force; the "dumb-as-nails Psychopathic Manchild" vs. "hammy sadist who's just toying with you" ratio depends on who's voicing him. |

Discussed in The Critic, when Jay's boss, Duke Phillips (who speaks with a southern accent) meets Jay's new assistant, Alice (who is also southern). He notes to her about how as southerners, they have to work extra hard in New York because as soon as people hear them talk, they're immediately dismissed as illiterate, country bumpkins. | |

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: Yellow Guy uses this voice, only emphasized by his short stature, noticeable slowness and status as a Butt-Monkey. The Spinach Can from the fifth installment has one, which emphasizes the low quality of his/her song and helps invalidate his/her flimsy health advise. Unlike the five preceding videos, the sixth video's Teacher is almost immediately revealed to be malicious and ignorant, and as such, the Lamp's voice is quite slurred in order to immediately convey his incompetence. |

Careless S. of Happy Heroes, while actually not that stupid, does have a major habit of forgetting stuff. The English dub made by Lookus reflects this characteristic by giving him a low-pitched, stupid-sounding voice. | |
