Having characters speak in Totally Radical slang is often annoying. It can be excruciating when the slang is outdated, misused, or just spoken wrongly. But sometimes, the other characters find it just as phony as the audience does. This is when a character starts speaking like a Jive Turkey in an attempt to sound cool or relevant, and comes across as neither to other characters, who react with disdain (often Totally Radical disdain). Characters prone to this include Valley Girl, Surfer Dude, and the Aging Would-Be Hipster. Not to be confused with Like Is, Like, a Comma. In-universe examples only, please! Instances of the audience reacting this way go under Totally Radical. Examples |

Parodied in an episode of Atop the Fourth Wall. Linkara points out that the dialogue one of the characters uses in the Nightcat comic sounds horribly out-dated That is, the comic was written in the 1990s but has slang that sounds like it came from the 1970s. This concept is then spoofed in a gag where 90s Kid points out how lame he thinks the dialogue of the comic is while he ''himself'' is speaking in outdated 1990s slang. | |

When Naruto has a near-death experience, he meets the fabled Sage of Six Paths in limbo. At first, the Sage speaks in an ancient style that confuses Naruto. Recognizing that times have changed and his speech-style is outdated, the Sage tries this trope. That just makes Naruto annoyed, and the Sage eventually manages a more normal dialect. | |

Joshua, I'm going to have a quick word with your parents, so you stay here and chat with Nurse Early Nineties Catchphrases." Dr Cox tries to talk to a 16-year-old patient with the following speech. It's one of the rare times he's not being sarcastic. |

The Nostalgia Critic enjoys using Totally Radical slang to mock media that tries in vain to be hip. The review of The Cat in the Hat introduces "Peter Soulless," a Corrupt Corporate Executive who made a Deal with the Devil for commercially successful Dr. Seuss movies. His Totally Radical slang ties in with his awkward attempts to pander to contemporary pop culture: The Critic also riffs on the Mad Hatter's funky "Futterwacken" dance in his review of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010): |

Invader Zim does this with Poop Dawg, the Gangsta Clown who's supposed to encourage kids to sell candy. He asks the children is they want to 'go madness with da moneyzz?!' and pronounces the word 'prizes' like "pri-zai-zez" while dropping the word yo every other word. Both the children near him in person and those watching look totally lost after hearing him speak. Not even the guy in the suit can take himself seriously. |

Disco Elysium's Kim Kitsuragi (rather unexpectedly) begins speaking in this manner if The Detective asks Acele if she wants to get drunk and do drugs. He's drawing off his experience as a former undercover juvenile cop in an attempt to glean what Acele knows about the local drug trade... but as his juvie days are long behind him, he's rather unconvincing, using street names for drugs that fell out of fashion years ago. | |

In Happy Endings, Dave does this a lot in a season 2 episode, mostly about playing basketball with Brad and then all throughout the episode. He even lampshades how lame he sounds, and Brad asks him to stop. This continues throughout the episode. "You ready to ball it up, son?" "I know my hip hop, son!" "You know it. And 1 son! And 1! *Holds his hand out for a refused fist bump*...I'll get you inside" |
