Speech disfluency is often times a break or (in music terms) a rest between the flow of speech. These include fillers such as "like", "so," and "uh", or in Japanese, "anou" and "eto". These fillers are often exaggerated as a heavily exaggerated form of Overly Long Gag. Basically, say a character tells another character, who's not the sharpest tool in the shed, something, they take a while going 'uhhhhhhhhhh...', or repeatedly filling "like" between words worth more than a Valley Girl could. Reasons can include things such as evading a question, or they're dumbfounded; sometimes they weren't listening to the question, sometimes they're confused, or sometimes utter this when they're given multiple choices; or sometimes it emphasizes how a total ditz the character is. And those fillers take seconds and it stays there rather that keeping an awkward silence. Sometimes they say something, or they may change the subject instead. Sometimes, the overly long filler sound can also be an expression of exhaustion. And sometimes, in a romance scene, the love confessor can utter this, only for the confessee to silence them by reciprocating that filler. Often paired with a Simpleton Voice, but not always. Can also be uttered by The Ditherer, whether they're a ditz or not. Compare Verbal Tic and Beat. |

Butt-Head from Beavis and Butt-Head often responds to questions with a leading "Uhhh..." as his little-used mind tries to catch up to his much-used mouth. These "uhhh"s are especially lengthy when Butt-Head is caught prevaricating, and he tries to formulate a blame-shift or cover story. | |

An Animaniacs music video titled "Macadamia Nut", which is "The Macarena" with parody lyrics, has the cast break out in a giggling fit. Slappy Squirrel, as implacable as ever, has to ask "What's so funny?" Several characters emits lengthy "uhh"s, trying to explain the joke. Yakko gives a drawn out one solo, before giving up and beginning the third stanza. Viewable here at the 02:48 mark. | |

Played with in The Big Bang Theory where after finding out Leonard's mother is coming to visit, Penny pelts Leonard with questions on whether she knew the two of them were going out. Leonard continues responding with "uhhhh", to the point where Sheldon says: | |

Game Grumps: According to Dan, long "Eh"s are his father's Verbal Tic. He is shown to be telling the truth when he plays a recorded message from his dad. This gets played with in certain episodes. According to Dan, this happens because his father's first language is Hebrew and he has to translate everything he says into English word by word. The "ehh" occurs whenever he struggles to remember a proper English word, phrase or name. |

Bob's Burgers: Tina Belcher's main catchphrase is an elongated groan, which she often does whenever confused or nervous. Special note goes to "Tina-Rannosaurus Wrecks", where she groans for 30 seconds straight during the opening sequence of her driving Bob's car. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In "The Treasure", Nicole accidentally starts explaining why the family's always been short on money (Richard blew their savings on an internet scam selling stars), then stops herself by droning on one syllable ("If it wasn't forrr...") until disappearing between camera shots. In the episode "The Plan", Gumball, Darwin, and Anais triy to stop their mother from meeting someone named "Daniel Lennard", whom they thought was an evil slimeball when he's actually a cosmetics brand, and spend the episode mentally testing and revising their plan. Part of it involves Darwin calling Nicole, and every imagined failure leads to Darwin droning "uhhhhhh...." until his head explodes. |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "The Krusty Krab Training Video", Squidward asks Patrick his order, and the "uh" keeps going past a change to another scene. When we come back, Patrick hasn't stopped, so Squidward takes the Interactive Narrator's advice to suggest a Krabby Patty. Patrick takes the suggestion, but starts back up when asked 'for here or to go', causing Squidward to bang his head on the cash register. | |

Once Emmet from The LEGO Movie sees Wyldstyle pull back her hoodie and do a sexy Hair Flip, his mind drowns in love hormones at the sight. This leaves his mouth to run on automatic, which results in an extremely lengthened "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." It's Love Makes You Dumb reduced to a single word. | |

Homestar Runner: Issue 11 of Teen Girl Squad features So And So responding twice to utterly baffling things with a comically drawn-out "Ummmmmm... 'kay." The first time is in response to an astronaut punching out her boss at the Shirt-Folding Store and explaining it's because "She killed my dog". The second time (which is drawn out even longer) is in response to a customer coughing up a miniature baseball stadium. | |
