Using Inherently Funny Words, Non Sequitur or random gibberish to humorous effect. Often used in Surreal Humor. Contrast with Word-Salad Horror (unless dealing with some extreme Black Comedy). The (usually derisive) phrase "monkey cheese" is also sometimes used to describe such humor. Occasions in which Word-Salad Humor may be employed: Dada Comics Non Sequitur, *Thud* Orphaned Punchline Surreal Humor Talkative Loon True Art Is Incomprehensible Word Salad Lyrics YouTube Poop |

Rejected's first sketch basically consists of a man saying "Mah spoon is too big" in various inflections, then an anthropomorphic banana appears and yells "I am a banana!", followed by a vacuum cleaner noise. It still manages to be hilarious. "Tuesday's coming. Did you bring your coat?" "I live in a giant bucket!" "Hey, do you want to go see a movie?" "I'm feeling fat and sassy." "I am the Queen of France." |

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Naddy claims to be a natural-born American and sprinkles her sentences with copious Gratuitous English to 'prove' it, but her actual grasp on English is... tenuous at best, making for this trope. The English translations (official and scanlation) choose to give her a ridiculously overblown and stereotypical American accent, but after chapter 118 the scanlation group gives an example of what it would look like if they translated her directly: | |

The Jackbox Party Pack: While a lot of games at least have the potential for this if things are going downhill or you forget what you were saying, Job Job leans particularly hard into it, since you have to assemble your answers from words other people used. This can lead to winning rounds on the strength of answers that consist of tangentially related gibberish, as long as the answer you're up against is worse. | |

The SCP Foundation has Dr. Spanko. It's a talking corn crake that speaks entirely in word salad. As an added bonus, all of this word salad is spoken at 90+ decibels! The site describes it as speaking "a language tangentially related to English". As an example, it refers to gummy worms (its favorite food) as "stranglefruits". In addition, it randomly places in the word "cack'. Dr. Spanko has a Character Blog! You can find it here. |

Several books have the Bursar of Discworld's Unseen University lapsing into this during particularly bad points in his Ridcully-induced mental instability. This is also the primary method of speaking of Foul Ole Ron, hence why he sometimes associates with Gaspode as a "thinking-brain dog." When not assisted by the dog, he says things like "Buggerit, millennium hand and shrimp." This also causes some puzzlement during Ron's short-lived attempt to work as a newsie in The Truth, as he calls out things like "Hoinarylup" and "Squidaped-oyt!" |

Many of The Muppet Show's musical numbers were acapella non-verbals arranged for a song-like quality. Especially funny when done with characters whose speech is incomprehensible. Even moreso if the original is in a language the audience doesn't understand anyway. | |

In satirical comedy puppet show Spitting Image, the "I never met a nice South African!" song is pretty well known. What has been forgotten are the sketches that book-end it to either side, about a truly not-nice South African called P.W. Botha, who at the time was Head of Government in The Apartheid Era. President Botha is seen addressing a rally and delivering some truly nonsensical soundbites. The trope is weaponised by deliberately juxtaposing the utter nonsense with one sensible claim that nobody with a brain believes for a second. | |

Mars Attacks!: The first attempt in translating the Martian language results in this. It's unclear if this was a case of Translation Trainwreck or if the Martian leader was just messing with the Earthlings. The translation was "All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest." | |

In The Nostalgia Critic's review of Godzilla (1998), he was annoyed by the movie treating the line "That's a lotta fish" as though it was a gut-busting joke, and declared even just having the line be "poppity pop pop pop" would have been a funnier joke. | |

A semi-legendary post at the 4chan in response to a trailer for The Conduit: "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"◊ You've got to be kidding me.◊ I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense. |

Taken to its logical conclusion by Eric Idle in the Rutland Weekend Television sketch 'Gibberish', which takes a typical television interview, then simply removes the dialogue and replaces it with random silly words. The sketch with Henry Woolf was then reprised with Dan Aykroyd for American audiences on Saturday Night Live. | |

"Drinking Out Of Cups" by Dan Deacon, a spoken word piece that later became better known when Liam Lynch (The Sifl and Olly Show) made a short animation to go with it. Passages like "Who's this guy? Mr. Balloons? Mr. Balloon hands?" and "I'm in love with the seahorses. They're fuckin' unreal. I love them, they're like all the clocks..." were the result of him acting like a macho Long Islander stereotype and spontaneously responding to things he saw while watching a TV on mute. | |

Dawn Lazarus, a semi-recurring character on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update segments, is a meteorologist who speaks just intelligibly enough that you can sort of tell she's talking about weather while still making no sense whatsoever. It's generally implied that this is due to stage fright: A mock commercial, ostensibly promoting the official soundtrack album of early aughts Slasher Movie Valentine, took aim at how albums of this type usually featured a few well-known heavy metal / industrial metal bands surrounded by songs by complete unknowns with strange names - thus, it's mainly a list that starts out with a few actual groups before descending into word salad band names like Motionless Z note probably a play on Static-X, Exquisite Mammals, Grab The Jester, and Half of 5445 North Park Drive Community Vigilance & Restoration Committee. |

Invader Zim, being another Jhonen Vasquez work, has it all over the place. Radioactive rubber pants, anyone?note Ironically, that was actually thrown in when Richard Steven Horvitz mispronounced "ants," which makes only slightly more sense. This is especially prominent with GIR, who will blather on about whatever "thought" enters his "mind," often about food. And then there's Zim's complete failure of an insult in "Backseat Drivers From Beyond The Stars." | |

Bad Lip Reading, a YouTube channel that essentially does elaborate gag dubs of pop music videos (and later, also clips from films and TV shows), uses a lot of this kind of humor. Witness Rebecca Black singing about gang fights and chicken, Ludacris claiming to be "a magic man with a magic goose", and Miley Cyrus wanting to "get dumb and bang a wizard". | |

SpongeBob SquarePants has examples like "If I'm lucky, one day Mr. Talent will rub his tentacles on my art!" (The title itself would probably count, if it wasn't a concise description of the protagonist.) | |

Dream, vision, hallucination, revelation and/or brainwashing sequences in Illuminatus! and its spinoffs tend to be either this or Word-Salad Horror, although they are frequently both simultaneously, combining imagery from everything from The Bible and Classical Mythology to Masonic lore, Occultism and the Kabbalah to H. P. Lovecraft, pornography and Krazy Kat with Arc Words chosen seemingly at random and very clever yet completely nonsensical wordplay. | |

Pinkie Pie, a character in the cartoon series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, is well-known for being prone to quirky, nonsensical, random behavior, sometimes resulting in Word Salad-esque lines. The trope appears in an obvious form during "The Last Roundup", in which Pinkie Pie tortures Applejack with inane babbling until she confesses. | |

Speaking of "phonetic translations," YouTube's auto-generated subtitles are an absolute goldmine of hilarious gibberish when used on videos done in different languages. To a lesser extent, it even does this with English as well. | |

Homestar Runner: In general, characters often insert bizarre malapropisms randomly into otherwise normal dialog. In the Strong Bad Email "funny", Strong Bad's idea of answering an email in the "funniest way ever" is to tape a blank diskette to his forehead and dance around while talking gibberish like "the crazy squeaky guy". The characters Homsar and Senor Cardgage seem to only ever speak this way. The SBEmail "fan club" had a debate over which of them was the "non-sequitur champion". |

Used as a tactic in Crimson Dark, when the Nargun Exchange Controller refuses to speak to Whisper. Whisper responds by rattling off a crazy salad of terrorist and advertising keywords, creating a barrage of low-level alerts that the Controller finds too irritating to ignore. | |

Control introduces a character named Fra in the AWE DLC, a shapeshifting alien from the moon that hitched a ride to Earth before getting captured by the Federal Bureau of Control. It can speak in a passable human voice and seems to comprehend the idea of language and emotional inflection well enough, but its understanding of syntax is a hot mess. Much humor is derived from captors and interrogators getting frustrated with its incomprehensible sentences in spite of its oddly chirpy, persistently friendly demeanor. | |

Happens unintentionally in the AI-written short film Sunspring. The plot includes such gibberish lines as "Well, I have to go to the skull!" It's also quite hard to figure out the plot because of the word-salad dialogue. Pretty much all that is distinguishable is that there is probably a love triangle between the three characters, one may or may not have gone to space, and he at least contemplates suicide. | |
