— Sung entirely in some thirty seconds and one breath in "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Hardware Store" ^note

A character who speaks if not constantly then often so quickly that it's hard to make out individual words and with the appearance of not having to stop for breath which sometimes makes it sound as though the audio track has been set to Fast Forward while the sentence diagram looks like a Mandelbrot fractal, this is often a facet of the Genki Girl or The Ditz who seems to be able to redirect the oxygen destined for their brain to their mouth whereas if smart characters do this they often fall victim to Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness usually this counts as the specific subtrope Gibbering Genius and it is also a trait of a character who is panicking upset afraid angry worked up or excited and launches into rapid-fire babble because of their emotional state although in a few cases characters who do this anyway end up going into a weird state and start doing it even more BECAUSEOFTHESTATEMENTIONEDABOVEORMAYBEJUST— SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[deep breath] OK, as we were saying?

In advertisements this is Rattling Off Legal and in music it becomes a Patter Song and can lead to Something Something Leonard Bernstein while for the absurd comic book examples where this is explicitly not addressed see Talking Is a Free Action. Characters may do this during a Character Filibuster or when Holding the Floor to prevent others interrupting. If your Motor Mouth character tends to talk like they're in an infomercial (and they're not actually selling anything), then they probably Speaks in Shout-Outs as well. In comics, Wall of Text and Wall of Blather are common. Might be said to an Annoyingly Repetitive Child.

Contrast... Dramatic... Ellipsis... You Talk Too Much!, AND!!! PUNCTUATED!!! FOR!!! EMPHASIS!!!

In the area of commercials, the definitive Motor Mouth is no doubt actor John Moschitta, best known for his FedEx and Micro Machines commercials. He is (according to Wikipedia) listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the world's fastest speaker. Kids might remember him for the Micro Machines ads, but those who remember their childhood TV shows more clearly than the commercials may remember him as Blurr from the Transformers (listed below). In fact, he voiced both versions of Blurr. He's even worked with Robot Chicken in a parody of his own Micro Machines ads where he laments his failed marriage and describes his decided method of suicide... while Micro Machines cars drive about in playsets.
- The dvd commentary for that Robot Chicken episode shows that he talks like that normally.
- Mr. Testaverde, the downright sadistic history teacher on Saved by the Bell.
- Tropers of a certain age may even remember his FedEx, er, Federal Express ad (1981).
- Moschitta claims he developed this skill from growing up with five sisters, as the only way he could ever get a word in.
- He did, however, talk normally as the announcer during the final season of H2: Hollywood Squares and the short-lived PAX TV game Balderdash.
McDonald's have incorporated motormouth tendencies into several advertisements over the years.
- "Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun!" And thus, in under five seconds, are enumerated the ingredients in the chain's signature Big Mac.
- The ingredients in a Big Mac not enough for you? How about the entire menu, rattled off in under thirty seconds in a mid-1980s TV spot. "BigMacMcDLT-aQuarterPounderwithsomecheese-Filet'OFish-ahamburger-acheeseburger-aHappyMeal-McNuggets-tastygoldenfrenchfries-regularorlargersize-andsalads-cheforgardenorachickensaladoriental-BigBigBreakfast-EggMcMuffinhothotcakes-andsausagemaybebiscuits-baconeggandcheeseasausage-danish-hashbrowns-too-andfordessert-hotapplepies-andsundaes-threevarieties-asoftservecone-threekindsofshakes-andchocolateychipcookies-andtodrinkaCocaCola-DietCokeand-orangedrink-aSpriteandcoffee-decaftoo-alowfatmilk-alsoanorangejuice-IloveMcDonald's-goodtimegreattaste-andIgetthisallatoneplace!" Fun fact: this was initially a promotional stunt, where anyone that recited the full thing in a certain amount of time won a free burger.
Lampshaded in one radio commercial where the announcer was interviewing the guy who rattles off disclaimers in commercials, while said guy's contribution to the interview is blisteringly-fast attacks of disclaimer speak. At the end of the commercial, the announcer asked the disclaimer guy if his lips ever caught on fire. The latter admitted, "Occasionally."
UK example for the 1970s: "Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastinmotivatingoodbuzzincooltalkinhighwalkinfastlivinevergivincoolfizzin... Pepsi!"
At the end of government ads and Public Service Announcements in Australia: "Authorisedbytheaustraliangovernmentcanberra"
The woman on the Walmart Savings Catcher commercials played in the stores: "SaveyourreCEIPT it could save you money!"
Kwebbel◊ from Studio100's popular Belgian children's show Kabouter Plop. She talks very fast preventing the other gnomes to talk. There was even a song called "Jij Praat Teveel" (You Talk Too Much) where the male gnomes criticize her habit of telling various embarrassing moments that she witnessed from the other gnomes.
This Little Caesar's Pizza commercial from 2017:
Father: I got a great deal on pizza!
Son: [quickly and monotone] You went to Little Caesar's and got an extra Most Bestest with the most cheese and pepperoni for just six bucks?
[long pause as the father nervously stares at his son]
Father: ... I got a terrible deal on pizza.
In Italy, it's rather common for medicines advertisements to feature this sentence at the end, spoken in a very fast and nearly incomprehensible way:
Può provocare effetti indesiderati anche gravi, leggere attentamente il foglio illustrativo

which roughly translates to:

Can cause even serious undesirable effects, read carefully the information sheet

This Indonesian advertisement for Cimory milk starts off with the narrator singing the first three of the milk's available flavors to the melody of an Indonesian "Days of the Week" Song, but upon realizing that the ad would run for only fifteen seconds, the rest of the 11 flavors would be said quickly.

Japaneseanimationandcomics.

Doraemon: Nobita's Little Space War has the new character, Papi's pet alien dog Rokoroko who speaks non-stop, in all adaptations (manga, original anime, 2021 remake). The manga tends to have entire panerls bearing a Wall of Text whenever Rokoroko's onscreen. It even becomes a plot point in the finale, when Rokoroko's long, pointless, meandering speech serves as Holding the Floor for the Shrink Light's effects to eventually wear off.
The cast of Galaxy Angel sometimes goes into Motor Mouth mode, often during the Post Episode Trailers where they argue at a hundred miles an hour.
Lime from Saber Marionette J and its various sequels. She even gets to speak at a rapid-fire pace while playing as Emotionless Girl Rei Ayanami in the "alternate universe" episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion (they are even voiced by the same actress, to boot).
Excel♡Saga:
- Kotono Mitsuishi, Excel's voice actress in is quite good at this, and Excel's English voice actress was almost as capable; however, Jessica Calvello nearly destroyed her voice after thirteen episodes (though that could have also been because of Excel's hoarse screech in Calvello's rendition). She was also the VA for Sailor Moon, and was able to showcase her talent in later seasons, usually during comedic episodes.
- Rebeca Aponte from Venezuela was able to do it too. Some like to make jokes saying she was using amphetamines, but mainly For The Lulz.
Ms. Calvello did the voice for one of the younger sisters in His and Her Circumstances. In both the original and the dub, the voice actresses for the sisters would do the "Next Episode" previews in live action, with Motor Mouth that necessitates subtitles.
Jessica Calvello also would use Motor Mouth again for the 2014 English dub of Maria†Holic, in which she plays the show's main character, Kanako Miyame.
The main character Poemi, in the Excel♡Saga spinoff Puni Puni☆Poemi sometimes managed to be even faster. Fan translation subtitles would stack to the point where they cover half the screen. The English voice actress managed to survive the ordeal, though she blew her voice out on the second day of recording, according to the DVD commentary.^note
Sana Kurata of Kodocha can be a Motor Mouth Supreme when the mood strikes, far exceeding even Megumi Hayashibara's characters. When your subtitles come in entire paragraphs...
Haré+Guu:
- Haré, the main character, is prone to motormouthery when things just get too weird for him.
- In the second season, Haré+Guu Deluxe, the opening of each episode includes Haré spouting out of a rapid-fire stream of chatter, which varies from time to time while Guu dances.
Ichiko from Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling For Me. ("Oneesamaoneesamaoneesamaoneesamaoneesama....")
In Futari wa Pretty Cure, one of Nagisa's two "normal" friends is a Motor Mouth who occasionally punctuates her rapid-fire speech with a triple repeat of a word.
In a Post-Episode Trailer for Tokyo Mew Mew, Ichigo is so in shock that she starts speaking quickly, repeating words, and eventually reminding herself of the thing she was trying to distract herself from in the first place. "DaiiiiiiiisukisukisukisuKISU!!?"
Kyouka in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki speaks very fast very often, especially her dialogue in the show's opening theme.
Elf Princess Rane has several examples of the blue-haired guy speaking very quickly in gibberish (once humorously translated by the subbers as "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck..." Backward).
If you're going to watch the subtitled version of s-CRY-ed, make damn sure you can speedread. Straight Cougar's dialogue approximates a blur at points.
Neon Genesis Evangelion. Apparently, Misato (yet another Kotono Mitsuishi role) was like this in her college days; Ritsuko thinks she's "making up for lost time" (after spending her childhood years mute from the trauma of witnessing Second Impact). We don't get to hear her though, just see the stunned look on Ritsuko's face as she babbles on and on.
Pokémon the Series:
- The 8th ending song "Exciting Pokémon Relay" and its remix "Exciting Pokémon Relay" are about a Pokémon's problem resolved with a chain of almost unrelated events it caused... in an extremely fast-paced and repetitive manner.
- Barry from Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl talks as fast as he runs. And he has a short-attention span, which mean he has a tendency to veer off-topic during his rants, meaning that his talks go much longer than needed. Oh, and he rarely lets people get a chance to speak when he's talking.
Ahiru can be like this in Princess Tutu, particularly when she's flustered. It's part of her "duck-like" personality that she quacks out her words—since she's actually a duck magically transformed into a girl.
Technically Anime and Singing, but the opening themes of K-On! season two have Yui (and the other main characters, if they actually sing) sing so quickly that it's been commented that they sound like chipmunks, doesn't help that the pacing of the band behind them is even faster. The characters talk at normal speed during the show, but the songs...
The main character of Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei speaks at such a rapid pace that the subs fly across the screen and reading them can be a little challenging.
Speed Racer is one of the most (in)famous examples in anime history. It's to the point that "Everybody talks a mile a minute" is about the only thing a lot of people remember about the series.
Speed Racer: Four wheels are much more dangerous because two ropes are used to support the four wheels. If the ropes start swinging when the car's halfway across, the wheels will slip from under one of the ropes, and there'll be no way to hang on to the other and Twinkle will fall to the bottom.
Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!'s title character Nyarko has this in spades; in the first episode alone, she spends about a solid minute rambling about breakfast and her favorite Tokusatsu show, talking right over Mahiro, to his growing annoyance — he implies she's been doing this since last night. It isn't until he threatens her with a fork that she shuts up, and even then, her explanation of why she's on Earth turns a Fast-Forward Gag, because, in the original light novel, she literally rambled on for several pages.
In Kill la Kill, Senketsu delivers a recap of the series up to that point in about a minute and a half, barely even pausing for breath. Mako also regularly does this when giving her lectures that are filled to the brim with Insane Troll Logic.
In the Happy Happy Clover anime, Clover would mostly talk very fast when she is excited, happy or worried.
When Haruhiko from Myriad Colors Phantom World gets excited, he has a tendency of babbling at high speed. Usually, he goes on tangents full of useless trivia until someone stops him.
Mercurius of Dies Irae has this habit to the annoyance of everyone else. To quote the man himself:
Mercurius: In an introspection, in a calm introspection of his many negatives, Mercurius found his taste for jests to be the one that stood out the most. Next came his needless verbosity. With his nature being that of an inconsiderate man, he was severely unequipped to speak the necessary words at the necessary time in the necessary amounts. He acknowledged that fact. In fact, he was doing it right now. The meaning of the deluge of letters he had just spouted forth could be boiled down to the simple and meager four-word sentence "I talk too much." He was a wordsmith that refined the complicated and reforged the straight forwards into the complex. That was how he preferred to perceive and present his thoughts. It was small wonder those environing his would consider him vexing.
In My Hero Academia, when Deku is trying to figure something out, he has a tendency to mutter to himself at high speed about the various factors involved. He does this quietly, but still with enough volume to be noticeable to others; this is signified by having the onomatopoeia for "mutter" drift out of his mouth and orbit his head. From what other characters say, the effect is quite creepy.
The English dub of Ghost Stories uses it for comedic effects, as expected for a Gag Dub.
Momoko: "HaveyouacceptedJesusasyourpersonalsaviour"
- Fourth-wall breaking is always warranted.
  Leo: "Oh-my-god-Oh-my-god-what-the-hell-is-happening-here-these-are-the-fastest-lip-flaps-I've-ever-had-to-sync"
- Also while Satsuki and Hajime was reporting to the police...
  Satsuki: "Thepeopleinmyhouselooklikemyfatherandmybrotherafteraneyemastersexambutit'snotthem"
  Hajime: "Yeahboogitadidggitdagoogitydigdigdigtikikiti"
Windy in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS English dub as shown where he talks a hundred miles per hour in his introductory episode that it's impressive his voice actor didn't pass out. Whereas in the Japanese dub he speaks normally.
The most common joke of Teekyuu is to combine this with either complete non-sequiturs or dumb puns to cause the viewer (and frequently other characters on the show) to only realize something weird has been said once the episode is over.
The infamous AB Groupe dub (AKA the "Big Green" dub) of Dragon Ball Z was notorious for having nearly all the characters talk like they're trying to condense a full paragraph of dialog into less than a minute. Paragus from Groupe's dub of Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is just one example.
Paragus: (Talking to "Vegetuh") I must tell you mykeenestdesirehasalwaysbeentocreateanewPlanetVegetuhafterFreezerdestroyedouroldonethirtyyearsagoyouwillrecall. *deep breath* IknewitwouldbetheonlywaytoperpetuatethereignofKingVegetuhyourfatherkilledbyFreezerinhumiliatingcircumstances *small breath* nowthatIconvincedyouandbroughtyouhere. I can tell you that my sacredmissionmygreatdreamwillatlasttakeshape and be realized.
After God: Alula is noted a few times to speak too fast and going on tangents about how everything is wrong with society.
Train To The End Of The World: Zenjirō is constantly talking in a loud voice while in his young man mode, but what he's saying is often irrelevant and only tangentially related to the actual discussion.

Standupandrecordedcomedy.

Jeff Foxworthy: On the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, he postulated that the reason many NASCAR fans can't stand Jeff Gordon is that he enunciates his speech, whereas other drivers go off on Southern-accented Motor Mouthing run-ons.
Jeff: "And as Southern as I am, I'm goin', 'Dude, what? Were there any words in that?'"
Invoked by Mindless Self Indulgence's Jimmy Urine in Stupid Motherfucker: "Is this simple enough for you? Does everybody understand? Are you all still following me? Should I talk slower like you're a retard? Should I talk slower like you're retarded?" MSI is usually fairly understandable in speed if not pronunciation.
George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television". The words themselves are spoken very fast. Also "You and Me (Things That Come Off of Your Body)" from Complaints and Grievances, especially that long expletive of insults that became a running gag, and "A Modern Man" from "Life Is Worth Losing".
Scott Beach's "Religion and Politics" is a tale where the protagonist is at a political rally when a Conservative tells him he was "full of s#!t" for criticizing the candidates on being petty and vindictive and by the end the Conservative gets beaten to a pulp. Done without taking a breath.

The Amazing and the Ultimate Spider-Man are sometimes portrayed as this, quipping through and through during a battle, which more often than not, annoys a LOT his enemies. More the Ultimate, as he's a teenager who won't shut up at all sometimes. It is heavily implied that this is Spidey's form of coping with his fear during a battle. However, beware when he's silent...
The Flash once broke the sound barrier with his motor mouth.
Maxine Hunkel, alias Cyclone, is a Motor Mouth, to the sometimes annoyance of her teammates in the JSA. In fact, when Power Girl extended her a JSA invitation, she threatened to immediately revoke it if Maxine didn't shut up for a minute.
Princeless: During a flashback from before he became King, King Ashe said his sisters liked to talk the whole time and, if one of them married the Black Knight, she wouldn't realize her husband doesn't speak.
Me, Deadpool; made clear by the fact that I'm sometimes called the 'Merc With A Mouth'. This goes so far that despite my death in the incursion I still narrate the exploits of my wife. Ex or no-ex, not even Death herself can make me shut up.
Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Swerve, who always loves to talk, and his nickname in the academy was Shut the Hell Up. The Decepticons have Misfire, who accidentally took a Fantastic Drug and has ADHD, he's easily distracted and won't stop, makes him the go-to guy for an Infodump.
In Marvel 1602, Hal McCoy describes himself as "a creature of few words", but once he starts talking it's difficult to get him to stop.
Ultimate Marvel
- Rhona Burchill from Ultimate Fantastic Four. When she talks, she spits a constant stream of dialogue, and her speech bubbles replace spaces with hyphens to emphasize how quickly she talks.
- Ultimate FF: Rick Jones interrupted Iron Man to ask if he talks just to hear himself talk.
- Ultimate Spider-Man: In the opening narration of the first issue, the random guy is not particularly interested in Greek mythology, but Norman told him the whole story of Arachne anyway. It does not have anything to do with anything, he just loves to hear the sound of his own voice.
Elizabeth Wilkinson, the protagonist of Championess, has multiple characters mention that she talks too much.

Fictionwrittenbyfans.

Child of the Storm:
- Harry in the first book, usually when he's about to do something spectacular, though this fades out afterwards as he matures (though it still pops up every now and then).
- Doctor Strange is renowned for being cryptic and enigmatic, but when he's being clever/actually deigning to tell people what he's been up to for once (something which usually coincides with his being less sane than usual) this is the result.
- Loki - when he's thinking aloud. Letting his mouth run and being called up by an alternately amused/tetchy Thor (situation depending) is a Running Gag.
- Peter Parker shows up in Book 2 and engages in a long string of Casual Danger Dialogue while wrestling Grey Court vampires. He makes the other examples from this fic look quiet and solemn by comparison. Harry inwardly reflects that while most people would be amazed that he could talk so much, a telepath like Harry would consider it a miracle that he didn't talk even more.
Arguably Sara's most defining character trait in Iron Touch. Her ramblings end up being so long that they make Michelle physically uncomfortable.
Sara: Ok, so, back in Spain, we stopped at some random bar before crossing the border to France. Absolutely wild that the drinking age in most of Europe is 18, by the way. Means I can drag these two to get drinks with me. Anyways, this guy came up and started hitting on me. Not even the sweet, kind of earnest type of flirting that you just take with a smile before telling them to hit the road, this dude was actually a creep. He started feeling me up and I saw him put something in my drink. Then I called him out for it, and he was like "I don't know what you're talking about, go on and have a sip babe." So I splashed it in his face. Then the douchebag grabbed a knife and started slashing at me! Luckily for me, Cab stepped in and...
Braeburn from The New Six, a fanfic based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. He's even more of a Motor Mouth than he is in the show.
Braeburn: So, you see, we decided that everypony would really benefit if we started a new orchard. And I have seven siblings, of course, so I wasn't really needed at my home, so I wanted to be the one to go start this new settlement. But with the Apples, we almost always have families go to start these things. I was all set to start this new town and orchard, and I was going to name it Aaaaaaappleloosa! Doesn't that have a nice ring to it? Aaaaaappleloosa! But then when Big Macintosh was married, he decided to go, at least to start it and then come back to Sweet Apple Acres, 'cause of the family thing, so I came to Ponyville to take his place at this orchard. But he didn't even keep the name Appleloosa!
In System Restore, Ibuki gets into this at one point, while trying to tell Togami the history of punk rock in half an hour.
Played for laughs in Origins, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands/Halo Massive Multiplayer Crossover. Dr. Kevin Filner engages in this when describing a Dangerous Forbidden Technique he suggests might work for powering a new ship design.
Danganronpa Abridged Thing:
- This is used when Kirigiri hastily provides an explanation for why Fujisaki was originally killed in the boys' locker room despite being found dead in the girls' locker room- saying that it's because Fujisaki "isdesignatedmaleatbirthalthoughicannotsayeitherwaywhethertheyidentifyaseitheroranygenderbutnonethelesstheiridrecognizesthemasmale" without offending anyone.
- Mixing it with No Indoor Voice, Ishimaru also had such moments when he realized that the 'class trial' was about to decide who will get executed, and accuse the wrong guy, then everyone else gets executed. "ICHANGEDMYMINDTHISISNOTWELCOMEINASCHOOLENVIRONMENT"
Dragon Ball Z Abridged: While on Namek, Krillin blabs to Vegeta that Gohan's with Guru and then realizes he should have kept his mouth shut, all in one breath.
Vegeta: Where's that immense power coming from?
Krillin: [very quickly] Oh, that's probably Gohan over in the hut with the creator of the Dragon Balls is. You know, the guy who can unlock your potential by putting his hand on top of your head- Oh, God, I cannot shut up when I am scared...
In Robb Returns, after Robert Arryn is finally weaned off of the poison that kept him weak, there are times when Jory wonders if the boy will be able to shut up for five straight minutes.
''The Keys Stand Alone:
- When George turns into a brass dragon in The Soft World, he simply cannot stop talking, mostly to brag about himself. He's supposed to breathe sleep gas on a roomful of giant centipedes, but instead, he blathers and brags and sings and generally annoys the others so much that John shouts, “Eh, chatty, reckon you might do whatever it is you were gonna do before we all die of boredom here?” After George becomes himself again, almost embarrassed at his loss of verbal control, the others officially strip the title of “Quiet Beatle” from him.
- Theecat Stefnable, tech rogue, is also very chatty and verbose (to the point of annoying the four). His companion Nyvan the archer is also a motormouth, but it's entirely an Informed Ability that George, Theecat, and Nyvan's cousin Chana complain about.
RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: One of the effects of Truth is a Scourge is that in addition to forcing anyone who drinks it to tell nothing but the truth, they can't not speak, blurting out every thought that comes to mind. Notably, when Pinkie Pie unknowingly takes a sample, there's no change whatsoever to her behaviour (besides maybe being slightly grouchy about the subject of waffle-houses).
The Legend of Miraculous: When Link finally starts to overcome his selective mutism around Zelda, he decides quickly that he needs to milk his sudden ability to talk to her in case he loses it, rambling through an explanation of how long he's been in love with her.
Cheating Death: Those That Lived has Crown Martins, the candymaking Victor of the 24th Hunger Games. Throughout his chapter, he tends to talk about a lot of stuff at a fast pace. It hurts the heads of multiple characters (including all of the District One Victors), causes trouble for the Capitolian subtitlers who try to transcribe his in-arena "cooking show", and has the Capitolian public try to comprehend speed talking after he exits the arena. He manages to control his talking speed near the end of the story as he admits to Katniss. However, he relapses when he's in the moment, as seen when he's trying to vote against a hypothetical Hunger Games involving Capitolian children.
Crown (to Peridot): "We have quite a lot of gummies in stock and like you are totally gonna love them ever so much I mean really it's like no contest that we've got the best gummies in One with all of them handmade by me actually. We have gummy snakes, gummy worms, gummy elephants, gummy tributes, gummy Orions, nutty gummies, fruity gummies, soda gummies and for the strange folk who have cash and don't need questioning we've got a wide array of blood gummies raging from prices of one cap to ten caps though for a refined lady like you I'd imagine something like mint gummies are more your thing you know?"
All Mixed Up!: One thing that sets Carlos apart from his sister Carol is his tendency to talk a lot, and for a very long time. It's implied that this is one of the reasons that Oprah dislikes him, and even Oscar and Otto compare him to those like Olaf or Obfusco, the latter of which also talks a lot.
What a Strange Little Colt: Pinkie Pie, unsurprisingly, when she explains how she figured there was a new foal and came to deliver a cupcake.
Pinkie Pie: I knew that somepony new was in town because my back left hoof was itchy-twitchy and I knew it was a foal because it was just itchy-twitchy and not itchy-witchy like the way it is with grown-ups and I just knew that I had to give you the warmest, huggiest, most superlicious Pinkie Pie welcome ever so I made a big batch of super-yummy cupcakes but then my tail got wiggly and I knew somepony in the hospital would need more than just a normal cupcake so I made a brand-new batch of extra super-yummy cupcakes to make somepony who was having an terrible horrible no-good very bad day into somepony who was having an extra special new friend day so then I brought one up to the hospital but the SUPER nice mare at the front said that I had to wait for the doctor to come back but I just couldn't stand by while a foal was so horribly cupcake-less so I got super sneakey and sneaked so fast that the mare couldn't stop me from getting all the way to your room and then I saw that Dashie was already here and I was like 'whaaaaaat' but that's okay because now it’s a party and at a party you're always supposed to introduce yourself to people you don't know even if they have super-duper weird and scary eyes so hi my name's Pinkie Pie what's yours?
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: The Contempt of Court: The culprit of the second case, Cedric Maplethorpe, has a Villainous Breakdown that consists of him confessing his crimes while talking at a speed that would make Wendy Oldbag blush. His skin turns gray and he passes out from oxygen deprivation once he's done.
So sick... So sick of pretending... Calm all the time... Can't bottle it up anymore... MARIS I'M SO SORRY YOU GOT ROPED INTO THIS WHOLE MESS, IT'S ALL MY FAULT I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE AN EVIL BONE IN YOUR BODY IT WAS ALL MY FAULT I'M SO SORRY I WISH I'D NEVER GOTTEN INTO THIS ACULEUS BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT WAS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE RIGHT FROM THE START I KNEW IT BUT I JUST COULDN'T SAY NO IF IT MEANT GETTING MORE MONEY FOR A TOMB FOR JAMES, I'M SORRY ABOUT JAMES I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE SO COLD AND HEARTLESS ABOUT HIS DEATH I JUST FELT LIKE I HAD A REPUTATION TO KEEP AS THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL, IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP CALM IN THE FACE OF MURDER AND I HATE YOU GRANDFATHER I HATE YOU FOR KILLING RONALD I LOVED HIM AS A BROTHER SHOULD LOVE HIS OWN AND YOU TOOK MY ONLY FRIEND AWAY FROM ME WHY??!!!

Twitchy of Hoodwinked! fame is hard to understand at the best of times. When he drinks coffee for the first time, he becomes truly incomprehensible without the aid of a voice recorder's 'slowdown' function.
Scarface (1983): Tony. He likes to talk for whoever is in earshot. Lampshaded by Alberto, who tells him to shut his mouth when he's talking about how sick it is to kill a mother and her children. At this point he's speaking in English, a language that Alberto doesn't understand but Ernie and Chi Chi do.
Br'er Fox in Song of the South speaks a mile a minute thanks to James Baskett's rapid-fire performance. The animation directors actually had to invent a new process to try and keep up with the delivery...and it still doesn't quite match up.
Wendy briefly goes through this when she first meets Peter Pan, and doesn't stop talking until Peter finally comments "Girls talk too much."
Toy Story 2, with the marionette version of Woody in the Show Within a Show Woody's Roundup.
Marionette Woody: What's that? [in one breath] Jessie and Prospector are trapped in the old abandoned mine and Prospector just lit a stick of dynamite thinkin' it was a candle and now they're about to be blown to smithereens?
Donkey from Shrek. When they first meet, Shrek tries covering the donkey's mouth and he still keeps talking.
The radio from The Brave Little Toaster is a chatterbox who usually phrases his dialogue as radio broadcasts about Teddy Roosevelt.
The Iron Giant: When Dean lets Hogarth have some espresso (described as "Coffee-zilla"), the boy launches into a rambling rant about school, ending with the expected request for more coffee.
Ratatouille:
Colette: You think cooking is a cute job, ay? Like Mommy in the kitchen? (rapidly chopping vegetables as she talks) Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush when the orders come flooding in and every dish is different and none are simple and all have the different cooking time and must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot! And! Perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT BE MOMMY!
Storks: Both leads. Once you get Tulip yammering, she doesn't shut up. Especially if she's forced to talk to herself out of boredom. Junior, being played by Andy Samberg, has a habit of explaining things very quickly under his breath.
José Carioca, starting with his appearance in Saludos Amigos and continuing on to The Three Caballeros and some TV episodes afterwards. Whenever he gets excited, such as meeting somebody for the first time or wanting to go somewhere, he'll fire off in rapid Portuguese for several seconds on end until he manages to slow down and reiterate what he means in English, usually for Donald Duck. This character trait only really applies to whenever he was voiced by his first performer, José Oliveira. Even many viewers who understand Portuguese have trouble keeping up with him when he does that.
Up: Carl Fredricksen's love interest Ellie was very talkative during their childhood, which contrasted with Carl's shyness and few words. She even did all the talking for him during their initial encounters. As a case of irony, Ellie is never heard talking as an adult or senior citizen during the couple's "Married Life" montage.
Hades in Hercules has a tendency as he is - as he himself puts it - a "fast talker". He activly uses his Motor Mouth to manipulate and annoy others. The film makers compare his tactic to that of shady car dealers.
Merida is portrayed as being this in Ralph Breaks the Internet due to her being from "the other studio''.

Creep Van: At one point, the killer picks up a guy who's motorcycle broke down on the road and gives him a ride. Once he's in the vehicle, the man starts yakking on and on about things like how he knew someone who also owned a van. He gets impaled through the chest from behind for his troubles.
Disney's educational film Dad, Can I Borrow the Car? has a scene with a very fast-talking car dealer—Which runs close to 3 minutes.
Dustin Hoffman playing Dick Tracy's Mumbles (his confession of "Big Boy did it!" is rendered "Beebeedit!" until the police play his testimony back in slow motion). This was also a characteristic of Mumbles in the comic strip, who talked so fast he didn't bother to pronounce vowels (which, in English at least, are naturally slower than the consonants).
George in George of the Jungle babbles rapidly about "java" when he has coffee for the first time.
Mink from Miller's Crossing. Steve Buscemi was cast in part because he could handle the film's dialogue at the appropriate rate of speed.
The French-speaking coroner in Bon Cop, Bad Cop. The comedian who plays the part, Louis-José Houde, is exactly this. Incredibly hilarious too.
Martin: I'm sorry but I didn't get half of what he said...
David: [in French] Don't worry, me neither, but as long as we got different halves we're good.
Dreaming the Reality has Sister Lan talking like this in most of her scenes, including when meeting the amnesiac protagonist Fox for the first time - rapidly asking details on Fox's name, age, identity, how she got wounded, reasons she's being pursued by the police, and a bunch of other questions within the span of five seconds. Fox hesitates for two seconds and Lan immediately tells her to "say it!"
Key to Groucho Marx's style in Duck Soup:
Rufus T. Firefly: (to Mrs. Teasdale) That covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You'd better beat it; I hear they're going to tear you down and put up an office building where you're standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff. You know, you haven't stopped talking since I got here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.
When Mr. Hair-Trigger Temper Joe Pesci and Chris Rock meet up in Lethal Weapon 4, Pesci starts off with his usual "They fuck you with..." rant and Chris Rock responds in kind, leading to an unceasing tirade by both characters on their pet hates while the protagonists look on in disbelief.
The mail room orienter in The Hudsucker Proxy
Orienter: You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you! Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! 6787049A/6. That is your employee number. It will not be repeated!
In the movie adaptation of Hogfather, Violet the Tooth Fairy is played like this, chattering on and on through a gag until Teatime threatens unspeakable consequences if she doesn't shut up.
Carl Showalter from Fargo. Can't even pull off total silence.
"I don't have to talk, either, man! See how you like it. Just total fricassee'n silence. Two can play at that game, smart guy. We'll just see how you like it. Total silence."
One of Mark Wahlberg's favorite acting moves; when his character is upset, angry, or scared, he starts to babble.
Walter from His Girl Friday fast-talks his way out of most problems and can get anyone to go along with anything. Hildy punctuates an especially rapid rant with "Sold American!" like an auctioneer.
Wilhelm Burgdorf from Downfall (2004). The way he talks and rants throughout the film became a subject of a joke among those who make Downfall parodies, which earned him the nickname "fast-ranting boozing Burgdorf".
This is a common symptom among characters in 1930s/40s movies. Films like Green For Danger feature characters who rapidly bounce back and forth in conversations with one another, rattling off dialogue without ever stumbling over their words or having to pause for thought. It never noticed by the other characters (who often speak with equal velocity).
Ace Ventura has a tendency to go into Motor Mouth mode, especially when giving The Summation. You can tell when it starts: he takes a huge breath.
Jay in The View Askewniverse never shuts his trap, unlike his relatively quiet friend Bob. In fact, some fans think that the reason Bob rarely talks is that Jay never lets him get a word in edgewise.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night!" (slower than most of the examples here, but still impressive as it indicates that the character has an excellent memory).
Another John Hughes example occurs in Weird Science. When Wyatt's brother comes home and finds the house a total wreck, Wyatt desperately tries to explain what happened with a rapid-fire summation of all of the movie's plot up to that point, delivered as one long run-on sentence.
In Iron Man 2, Hammer babbles incessantly throughout most of his scenes; moreover, a lot of his impressive-sounding techno-jabber is pure bullshit. It's not entirely clear if it's a case of Obfuscating Stupidity or Hammer just being a schmooze who tries too hard. He's a foil to Tony, who also chatters, but usually has a point to everything he says, or to Vanko, who is highly intelligent but barely says anything. Vanko expressly calls him out on it during one of Hammer's angry rants, where Vanko's only response (in unsubtitled Russian) is "You talk too much."
In Ride Along, Ben will start babbling nonsense to get out of a situation he is in.
In Shine, David, from his teenage years but worse after he suffers his mental breakdown, speaks very fastly and disjointly.
Esteban in the film adaptation of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. He's a Spanish revolutionary who constantly tries to rouse his comrades to raise arms against Franco, and during the short time he is onscreen, he literally never stops talking, extremely rapidly to boot. It's implied he keeps this up for months before finally getting killed in his first battle.
X-Men: Days of Future Past: Quicksilver talks as fast as he... just about everything else. And good luck shutting him up.
Retroactive: There's hardly a minute where the villain Frank (Jim Belushi) isn't running his mouth off.
Ned from Groundhog Day. Phil doesn't have a chance to say anything (until he gives Ned the advice to Talk to the Fist).
Andrew whenever he's supposed to be quiet in Monsters. The moment something mysterious happens, he's loudly asking "WHAT IS THAT? WHAT'S HAPPENING?". Probably largely due to the ad-libbed nature of the movie.
Appropriately enough for the character, as in his comic book appearances, Spider-Man is a big-league jabberer in his appearance in Captain America: Civil War, using breaks in the action to casually chatter with his opponents and ask about their tech and abilities. Iron Man and Falcon, at least, get annoyed very quickly with his commentary, but Cap himself is rather impressed that a teenager is able to carry on the way Spidey does while in the middle of an engagement.
Falcon: [to Spidey] I don't know if you've been in a fight before, but there's usually NOT this much talking.
Everyone in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a fast talker, but Howard is the fastest talker of them all.
In If You Believe, Susan's assistant Robin talks and talks and talks. Constantly. To Susan's great annoyance. Susan is an editor and calls it "run on sentences" in her lingo.
Now You See It...: When Allison gets started on something that excites her, she doesn't like to shut up. This quickly annoys Danny as she chatters endlessly about preparing for the show, while he'd rather just be alone.
In Ant-Man, Scott's buddy Luis answers questions with long run-on-sentence explanations full of digressions (and hilariously visualised on screen as he talks). In Ant-Man and the Wasp, the bad guys inject him with something to make him talk, and then desperately ask the other Ex-Cons if there's any way of making him stop.
In Dobermann, Mosquito never shuts up. The source of his nickname appears to be his constant annoying buzzing.
In the animated segments of Song of the South, Br'er Fox talks this way. In fact, James Baskett talked so fast as Br'er Fox, the animators had a little difficulty doing lip sync to his voice.
Say Anything...: Lloyd Dobler does this a lot when he's nervous, whether he's asking Diane out on a date (offering to give her many tips about her trip to England..."English tips"), or giving a speech to Diane's father about what he wants to do for a living ("I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career"). Corey, his best friend, calls it "that nervous talking thing".
In Pushing Tin, the air traffic controllers quickly rattle off instructions to the pilots. When Nick and some of his friends order breakfast at a diner, Nick makes his order so quickly the waitress doesn't catch any of it.
A Good Woman is Hard to Find: Tito is a bit of one, talking constantly to Sarah to the point he hardly even notices how afraid of him she is.
Mexican Hayride: The reporter interviewing Bascom after he becomes "goodwill ambassador", who talks over Bascom constantly and then tells him "Next time a reporter asks you for an interview, don't talk so much!"
Jurassic Park (1993): Tim Murphy is quite the chatterbox, spending most of the tour of the park annoying Alan Grant with his constant gushing about the many books he's read about dinosaurs. He stays fairly talkative until he accidentally gets shocked by the high-voltage perimeter fence. After Grant revives him he becomes much quieter and barely says anything for the rest of the movie.
In Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), Sonic doesn't get a lot of people to talk to, so once he does, it's hard to shut him up. Even when Tom and Maddie step outside to have a moment to themselves, Sonic's still talking in the other room, even though no one's listening to him. Even before Sonic gets anyone to interact with he's seen talking to himself repeatedly, which is implied to be a coping mechanism to deal with his loneliness.

After Dark, My Sweet: Collie frequently goes off on rambling tangents, cheerfully oblivious to how annoyed the people around him are.
In Animorphs The Garatron was talking like this- "Iamconductinganinspectionon TV Tropes - andamquitedisappointedthatIhavenotyetbeenmentionedonthispage... Iwillreportthisdefeciencytomysuperiorsandbepromotedformyefforts."
While it doesn't come across nearly as well in the printed word, Betsy the Vampire Queen in the works of Mary Janice Davidson is a definite Motor Mouth. At least once, another character noted that not needing to breathe helped Betsy immensely on that score.
Eilonwy from The Chronicles of Prydain is so talkative, that in a scene where the other protagonists were simply tied up, she ends up Bound and Gagged.
Codex Alera: Tavi doesn't really come across as one to the reader, but Kitai does complain "do you ever stop talking?" after kissing him near the end of the second book.
In Discworld:
- Detritus, from Men at Arms gets this when his brain cools down enough.
- Within the Discworld universe, Moist Von Lipwig appears to be the king of this. In Making Money he comments on it both in internal monologue ("I wish I could write this down, I don't think I'll remember it all") and in dialogue. Then it gets dialed up under the influence of the herbal drink Splot, which makes his speech sound like every syllable is attempting to escape his mouth at the same time.
The Dragonlance setting of Dungeons & Dragons:
- The tinker gnomes, a race of Motor Mouths. A gnome's full name consists of his entire family tree and a list of accomplishments by his relations and can take months to fully pronounce — though they usually refer to themselves by shortened versions that only take about half an hour. Three guesses as to why they call their ancestral home "Mount Nevermind"...
- Also, a Second Edition fey race called Quicklings were apparently on fast forward all the time, to the point that they had to consciously slow down their speech to be intelligible to humans. Not that they cared.
Every Other Day: It takes Skylar about five seconds to say sixty words and she has little filter about speaking about anything that comes to mind.
In Good Omens, the Chattering Order of Saint Beryl is a satanic covenant of Motormouth nuns. Their namesake was blessed with the miraculous ability to chatter continuously without pause for breath or food, as a way to preserve her virtue in an unwilling arranged marriage. She lasted three days before her husband strangled her.
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this is part of Hermione's Establishing Character Moment. As she enthusiastically introduces herself to Harry and Ron, her dialogue takes up a sizable paragraph, which is followed by the narration noting that, "she said all this very fast."
Legends of Ithyria: Myka talks rapidly and at length, often too fast for others to completely follow.
In Maximum Ride, Nudge tends to talk for quite a while when she gets started. At one point, Max comments that her motormouth "could turn Mother Teresa into an ax murderer".
In The Pale King:
- Garrity haunts Post 047 by randomly appearing before examiners and talking non-stop.
- Meredith, once she gets going. Some of her coworkers prefer examining tax returns to listening to her talk.
Rupert Psmith in P. G. Wodehouse's novels. "I'm a man of few words myself."
Sigfried Smith from Rachel Griffin tends to ramble on verbosely when the topic is fighting, fire, blowing stuff up, having his dragon blow stuff up, mounting rocket bays on one's Flying Broomstick, etc.
Rainbow Magic: In Amber's book, upon being rescued, Amber asks the girls a barrage of questions in quick succession, since she doesn't have many people to talk to.
Redwall:
- The entire sparrow race talks like this.
- Marlfox's Burble has them beat, to the point that his tribe say the river will stop burbling before Burble does.
Tahiri in the Star Wars Expanded Universe was like this as a kid and young teenager; her best friend Anakin Solo even noted that her presence in the Force felt like someone talking very fast without pausing for breath. Following a Split-Personality Merge and becoming a Half-Human Hybrid of sorts (long story) she became somewhat quieter, albeit still with a playfully snarky sense of humor.
In the Warrior Cats book Crookedstar's Promise, Crookedstar's apprentice Sedgepaw speaks rapidly, to the point that he asks her to slow down and she even admits that she talks too much... before continuing to "chatter like a blackbird" in more run-on sentences.
Mac from the Wayside School books would often tell long, pointless stories in class that had little to do with what Mrs. Jewels' lecture was about. It would get so bad, Mrs. Jewels would run out of time, forcing her to assign the lesson as homework. Mac would later complain that she assigned more homework than any teacher at the school.
In The Babysitters Club book "Claudia and the Perfect Boy", one of the boys that Claudia fizzles out on a date with ends up happily dating a girl nicknamed "Motor Mouth Montey" (turns out that he dislikes making small talk so much that a girl who can communicate at the speed of light is his ideal).
Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which ties in well with her gum chewing habit (i.e., her mouth won't quit moving). Adaptations that seize on this are the 1971 film version and the 2013 stage musical; in the latter her introductory song is a Boastful Rap that notes that her chewing habit started because her mom was desperate to keep her quiet by putting something in her mouth.
Aline Penhallow from The Mortal Instruments talks a lot, and according to Clary is one of those people who says whatever comes to mind.
Razz in Don't Call Me Ishmael! talks quickly, loudly and constantly. His cousin Cindy even more so, when she's talking Razz himself can't get a word in.
Mr. Chatterbox from the Mr. Men books of course. The same goes for his sister, Little Miss Chatterbox. ("You should have seen it when they got together!" says the narrator. "You couldn't get a word in edgewise! Or lengthwise! Or any-wise!")
Shao Tian is a pro-e-sports player from The King's Avatar who is so chatty that the Pro League changed the rules on conversations during matches just to prevent his constant chattering from disrupting the players.
In The Divine Comedy, the Slothful are so busy running off their laziness in Purgatory that they have to speak very quickly when Dante and Virgil come to learn from them. Dante simulates the speed of their speech by taking the average 300 lines reserved for each terrace of Purgatory and condensing it to about 60 lines for the Sloth terrace, with only 20 of those lines being dialogue from those too inactive to pursue good.
Scavenger Alliance: One of Tad's No Social Skills traits, to the extent that the tag on his knife belt is a picture of an open mouth, and Donnell soon starts calling him "the mouth". He rarely stops talking, probably because he's used to his web supplying information as soon as he wonders about it. Blaze muses at one point that if she'd let him be pushed off the roof, he'd still have been asking questions on the way down.
Nina Tanleven: The Ghost in the Third Row has costume designer Eileen Taggert, who has a tendency to babble on and on.

Jimmy Hart, only aggravated by his trademark megaphone. If Jimmy was at ringside during a match and you were in attendance, rest assured, he'd be the only voice you'd hear loud and clear...and the one voice you'd wish would shut up.
Jim Cornette, manager of The Midnight Express. Once he got going there was no shutting him up, compounded by the fact that he yells at about two hundred decibels or so. He had to be either a former auctioneer, or he missed his calling with it. Observe this promo about The Varsity Club and see if you can keep up... He developed the motormouth shtick because he got used to having more interview time before switching promotions in '85.
Delirious combines this with The Unintelligible, as he will talk very fast with a mixture of words and utter gibberish, though, like most wrestling promos, his usually boil down to him saying he is going to defeat whoever his opponent is that night.
- After he broke the Eye of Tyr at the beginning of the 2012 Season Premiere CHIKARA The Thirteenth Hat, January 28, 2012, he spoke in a coherent, intelligible manner and at a normal pace. He would still speak his usual way out of CHIKARA, though.
The Miz opens MizTV this way.

Sesame Street:
- Biff the Construction Worker talks like this, much to the ire of his best friend and co-worker, Sully, who can't get a word out because of it.
- Also from Sesame Street, Bushman Bill in the "Be My D" music video sketch.
Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000 can talk incredibly fast.
Under The Umbrella Tree: Chuck Chickadee and his family combine this with Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!.

Dungeons & Dragons: Mercury dragons speak so quickly that their AD&D rules give them only a 75% chance of being understood by listeners.
The harpies (who are, unlike their mythical counterpart, anthropomorphic bats) in the Swedish game Gondica have a language that lacks stops between words, consisting of really meaningful shrieking. When they learn to speak the languages of non-harpies, they have a very hard time to actually make pauses, and a typical harpy quote is said to be "WhatdoyoumeanImspeakingtooquickly?".

Theatricalmusicalsandstuffandstuff.

In the musical The Witches of Eastwick, Suki begins the song Words, Words, Words as a shy little stutterer. By the time she's halfway through the song, she's speedtalking/-singing.
Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance:
- The Modern Major General's song gets a lampshade hung on by the end, with everyone excitedly calling for the General to do it even faster!
- Gilbert and Sullivan did this again in the patter trio "My Eyes Are Fully Open" for Ruddigore, later adapted into ''Pirates of Penzance''.
- "The Speed Test" from Thoroughly Modern Millie, which is to the tune of the Ruddigore song. And then they do a double-time reprise.
In Samuel Beckett's Not I, in which a disembodied mouth recites well over four thousand words of text, one of Beckett's only rules was that while the pronunciation had to be as clear and precise as possible, the actress could never recite it fast enough, saying that it had to be "at the speed of thought". This is especially challenging since the play is composed entirely of sentence fragments that just jolt from one to the next without much connecting logic. A good performance lasts about eight to twelve minutes.
Another Beckett play, Waiting for Godot, has one of the most well-known examples in theatre when silent put-upon Lucky is ordered to think:
Lucky: Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell and suffers like the divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent is better than nothing but not so fast and considering what is more that as a result of the labours left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the labours of men that as a result of the labours unfinished of Testew and Cunard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labours of Fartov and Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown of Testew and Cunard left unfinished it is established what many deny that man in Possy of Testew and Cunard that man in Essy that man in short that man in brief in spite of the strides of alimentation and defecation is seen to waste and pine waste and pine and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown in spite of the strides of physical culture the practice of sports such as tennis football running cycling swimming flying floating riding gliding conating camogie skating tennis of all kinds dying flying sports of all sorts autumn summer winter winter tennis of all kinds hockey of all sorts penicilline and succedanea in a word I resume and concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown to shrink and dwindle in spite of the tennis I resume flying gliding golf over nine and eighteen holes tennis of all sorts in a word for reasons unknown in Feckham Peckham Fulham Clapham namely concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown but time will tell to shrink and dwindle I resume Fulham Clapham in a word the dead loss per caput since the death of Bishop Berkeley being to the tune of one inch four ounce per caput approximately by and large more or less to the nearest decimal good measure round figures stark naked in the stockinged feet in Connemara in a word for reasons unknown no matter what matter the facts are there and considering what is more much more grave that in the light of the labours lost of Steinweg and Peterman it appears what is more much more grave that in the light the light the light of the labours lost of Steinweg and Peterman that in the plains in the mountains by the seas by the rivers running water running fire the air is the same and then the earth namely the air and then the earth in the great cold the great dark the air and the earth abode of stones in the great cold alas alas in the year of their Lord six hundred and something the air the earth the sea the earth abode of stones in the great deeps the great cold an sea on land and in the air I resume for reasons unknown in spite of the tennis the facts are there but time will tell I resume alas alas on on in short in fine on on abode of stones who can doubt it I resume but not so fast I resume the skull to shrink and waste and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown in spite of the tennis on on the beard the flames the tears the stones so blue so calm alas alas on on the skull the skull the skull the skull in Connemara in spite of the tennis the labours abandoned left unfinished graver still abode of stones in a word I resume alas alas abandoned unfinished the skull the skull in Connemara in spite of the tennis the skull alas the stones Cunard tennis... the stones... so calm...

While the example of Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is noted above under Booksthatyouread, in the 2013 musical adaptation this trope also applies to Willy Wonka. The first song in Act Two, "Strike That, Reverse It", is a Patter Song / "Setting Off" Song in which Mr. Wonka breezes his way through introductions with each of the Golden Ticket tour group members, lays down some ground rules, and has the kids' guardians sign confusing contracts. He goes so quickly that (in an Internal Homage to the 1971 movie) he keeps switching around words and correcting himself upon realization of such.
Motormouth Maybelle of Hairspray is a notable and obvious example. Doubly so in the 2006 movie: while all her costars had difficulties with the speed of the finale "You Can't Stop the Beat", Queen Latifah (who played Maybelle) had no trouble, citing the fact that she's a rapper.
Usnavi in In the Heights, most notably in the "one dollar, two dollar" sequence in "In The Heights", and when he hits on Yolanda in "The Club". Lampshaded in the latter, when Usnavi assumes she's "the strong and silent type" as opposed to his "Caribbean island type" when it's more likely that she can't get in a word edgewise (and doesn't speak English). It's implied that Usnavi talks fast when he's nervous - almost all of his dialogue in "the Club" is rapid-fire, presumably because he's on a date with his long-time crush Vanessa, and the only time it's not is when he's talking to his best friend Benny.
Hamilton:
- The show deliberately set out to invoke this trope in tribute to the person on which it's based - while the real Hamilton wasn't necessarily known for speaking fast, he was sure as hell known for speaking a whole lot, always cramming in as many words as he could into his speeches and letters. In order to get that many words into a single musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda, therefore, had to make it fast: and sure enough, it's one of the fastest musicals in theatre history, fitting over 20,000 words into two and a half hours.
- Most famously, it has what may or may not be the fastest song to ever appear on Broadway with "Guns and Ships", which clocks in at 6.3 words per second on average, and a section of 19 words in 3 seconds. All while the actor rapping jumps around on tables in full period clothing and an assumed French accent. It must be heard to believed. "Satisfied" and "Washington on Your Side" also have quickly-wrapped segments, but none so famous as "Guns and Ships".
- In fact, the fast rapping is so common that it's notable when it doesn't happen: Eliza is the only non-minor character (i.e., excepting Maria and Peggy, who only appear for a song each) who never raps. As Phillipa Soo (who played her in the original Broadway cast) put it, this ties into the theme of how she was the only character who had what Hamilton (who 'writes like he's running out of time') never could get: time.
The titular character of Dear Evan Hansen can be prone to this. Evan is shown to ramble when he’s anxious, which is almost all the time. This is first shown in the first scene when his mom asks him why he didn’t order dinner the previous night, and he starts rambling about why even the thirty-second interaction of someone delivering food is too much for him to handle. This tendency is further shown when he has a conversation with Zoe, his crush, and his responses go a mile a minute and are frequently interrupted by himself.
In the Broadway version of The SpongeBob Musical, Plankton has a rapid-fire rap verse in "When the Going Gets Tough". Unfortunately, it's not on the cast album, which reflects the Chicago cast before it went to Broadway, but it is preserved in the televised version.
The Barber of Seville has two. First is Bartolo's aria of "a un dottor della mia sorte", and second is Figaro's widely-referenced "Largo al factotum", which kicks into high gear for the final section.
In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, the cast are informed a few scenes before the end that they have to wrap the play up in under ten minutes or the adjudicator will disqualify them for going over time, which results in Macbeth rattling off the following scene (including the entire "Tomorrow and tomorrow" soliloquy) at high speed with a nary a pause for breath.

Gameswithvideo.

Ace Attorney: Wendy Oldbag tends to do this. When angered or annoyed, she'll often launch into a rant that both players and in-game characters have trouble keeping up with. During her introductory case, Edgeworth raises an objection just to get her to shut up, and the Judge sustains it.
- Richard Wellington from the first case of Justice For All also does this a few times (usually when he's upset).
- Then there's Wesley Stickler in Apollo Justice, who combines this with a touch of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness.
Anachronox features Grumpos Matavastros, a grumpy old man and scientist whose world (non-combat) skill is 'yammer.' Play a mini-game to fill his lungs and he'll spout off about 3 pages of run-on sentence, causing whoever was standing in your way to get annoyed and wander off.
Ancient Domains of Mystery has quicklings. They spew out their chat lines without any spaces. That's as close to this trope as it's possible in a roguelike. It might be justified — in the game, a "speed" value is assigned to all beings. The base speed of a player character of any race is 100. A basic quickling's is 400, and it only goes up with rank.
Arknights: Shaw does this in ALL of her voice lines.
Shaw: WhenIstartspeaking sometimesIcan'tstop. Ihopeyouforgiveme, Chief... *sob*...
Konoe Kikyo in Bravely Default. A young kunoichi from the Black Blades squad, she is usually so shy that she never speaks a word. However, when disguised as someone else, she turns into such a motor mouth that even her English dialogue text features no spaces or punctuation between the words, exactly like the folder titles on this very page.
Crash Bandicoot
- In Crash Twinsanity, Cortex is one of these momentarily, thanks to the Evil Twins' reality-warping powers.
Cortex: I will-

Cortex: Ishallcrushyoulikethepunyruntsyouare, youarenothingtomeforIamthegreatandallpowerfulNeoCortex! Howdareyoumock, manhandleandmanipulateme! Restassured, Iwilltakemyterriblevengeanceupon... [He stops, panting heavily.]
- The first one-and-a-half minute of the credits of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is an announcer voiced by Roger Craig Smith saying a disclaimer about the game before going into a bunch of unrelated topics, all while talking in a fast pace. He eventually has to catch his breath before he says the final line.
In The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, Devon the Bloodwolf speaks in long run-on sentences with no internal punctuation such as commas that would indicate a pause for breath.
Storm Spirit in Dota 2 never shuts up. He constantly zips around the stage taunting you saying, "I'm over heeere!", "Zaaap!", "Where's the party?", "I'm over here now", "Puddin pop!", "Bloooow the man down!".
Merrill from Dragon Age II. Several times throughout the game she says "I'm babbling again. I'll shut up now."
Unintentionally, everyone in Far Cry 2. Most of the dialogue in this game is spoken at just above a whisper, and all of it at a very high rate of speed.
Genshin Impact: Yanfei is something of a fast talker and has noticeably wordier voice lines compared to other characters. She's aware of it and in one of her stories acknowledges that, after she brings peace to the world through law, those skills would make her a good rapper.
Granblue Fantasy: When Korwa is agitated or frustrated, she rattles off whatever she's thinking at breakneck speed with no regard to who's listening.
In Grandia II, (not actually done audibly and kept only in text dialogue) when the party reaches Roan's castle the first time, one of the ladies-in-waiting who serves as the castle guide has a rather unique way of giving directions — she takes a deep breath, then babbles out the entire guide to the requested specific place in the castle as quickly as possible in one breath.
Guilty Gear Xrd:
- Bedman doesn't talk at all during battles, but his quotes upon losing/winning a match or getting hit with certain instant kill moves are extremely long and spoken at a high speed. His reaction to the cutesy facial he receives courtesy of Faust's instant kill move, in particular, is so long that he's still talking while the announcer declares the winner and barely manages to finish before the next round starts.
- From the same game, all of Elphelt's win poses and win quotes in which she takes out her marriage certificate and starts rambling for 15 seconds long before she gets a nosebleed. This even puts her at the same level as Rufus' talking.
- There are rarely moments in which Answer's on-screen and not talking, due to him continuously taking business calls during his fights. His reactions to May's Instant Kill in particular have him talking a mile a minute as he tries to wrap up his current phone call as quickly as possible before he blasts off.
- May's Instant Kill in general tends to turn most characters into this as they desperately try to talk their way out of it (or just ramble in general).
Nomi-Nomi in I Was a Teenage Exocolonist gushes about their interests so fast, they need to take deep breaths between them.
Jak II: Renegade: Daxter isn't a slow talker to begin with, but the race contract scene cranks it up a notch, with only one audible breath in the whole thing - and it's especially impressive because Max Casella improvised the whole spiel at around two words a second.
Daxter: We the racers hereby agree to give Krew all proceeds from race earnings, endorsement fees, broadcast royalties, syndication residuals, vehicle sponsorships, mall appearance fees, collectible card assets, fast food tie-ins, use of likeness rights, talk show deals, clothing lines, all print rights including book, novella, comic, pamphlet, ticker tape, neon sign and bathroom graffiti designs, (breathes in) toy rights, shoe lines, mood rings, game rights — GAME RIGHTS?! — vitamin endorsements, city kickbacks, movie deals, and of course, all death and dismemberment accident insurance claims.
Krew: ...We can work out the tiny details later.
The King of Fighters XIV has the mysterious Kukri who combines this with his dirty language.
Kukri (vs. Iori): "LookslikethisdumbassjustdoesntgetityourgroupisnothingbutabunchofcrazyassholesIshouldputaleashoneveryoneinyourgarbageassgroupandcageyoulosersup."
Kukri (vs. Kyo): "Showyouagoodtimewhatthehellareyoutalkingaboutwhatareyoustupidyouprobablytooktoomanyhitstotheheadmanagementshouldlookintoshitheadslikethisandbantheminadvance..."
Hyness from Kirby Star Allies flies into a long, hard-to-read rant about his plans to revive Void Termina in a high speed when he's being confronted by Kirby. This is the first sign there's something off about this seemingly menacing and serious hooded figure.
The Legend of Spyro: Volteer is known for his motor mouth, evidently due to being an electric dragon. It also doesn't help that he uses really big words.
Mass Effect 2:
- Mordin Solus. Combines with Terse Talker and Thinking Out Loud. Frequently annoys Shepard. Telling Mordin to slow down will result in him... trying... to... slow... down... nothat'stakingtoolonghaveworktodo. In fact, the game offers multiple paragon/renegade interruptions aimed at shutting him up.
- Many salarians share this trait; hyperactivity innate part of salarian biology. (Presumably, any who talk at standard speed catering to sluggish-thinking aliens. Or, in the case of Captain Kirrahe, talking at normal speed because that Rousing Speech wouldn't have worked at normal salarian speed). A large part of it has to do with the fact that salarians have an average lifespan of 40 years. If you were on that tight of a deadline, you'd hurry up too.
- Tali also has a tendency to talk very quickly when she's nervous which she describes as being a defensive mechanism. If the player decided to pursue her romantically, her flustered, rapid-fire delivery is made very apparent and she acknowledges this as being a defense mechanism in the moments that lead up to the consummation of Shepard and Tali's relationship.
Pokémon Black and White has an odd example with the character N. In his first appearance, your childhood friend comments on how he talks too fast, but his actual speech is normally spaced, even with ellipses. In-game, his dialogue text just appears really fast; even if you have the message scrolling speed set to fast, his comes out faster. Can be justified in the fact that N grew up isolated from society, and as a result, has No Social Skills.
This trait seems to be prevalent in all personality cores in Portal 2.
- Robot Buddy Wheatley has apparently decided to make up for Chell's muteness by never, ever shutting up, talking continuously whenever there's a quiet moment that allows him to get up some momentum. There's nearly six hours of dialogue in the game for Wheatley alone!
- The Fact Core spews a continuous stream of "facts" in rapid succession. Some are believable, others... not so much.
  The square root of rope is string.
  Fact: Space does not exist.
  Cellular phones will not give you cancer. Only hepatitis.
- The Adventure Core (or Rick) continuously flirts with Chell, boasts about his adventures, and comments on how bad the situation looks.
- The Space Core does nothing but talk about space, gets excited about space, and demands you listen to him about how much he loves space.
In Shadowverse, most of Eleanor's dialogue are paragraphs, and she speaks so fast that Isabelle mentions her ears bending from listening to her.
Shojo to Maou to Tactics: Erisu Vanstein can talk really fast, as the trailer for ~Maou Soudatsusen~ demonstrates.
Marine the Raccoon from Sonic Rush Adventure is something of a Motor Mouth, while fitting in every single piece of Australian slang ever conceived.
In the second SPY Fox game, Fox comes across an excitable young lad named Elmo. Elmo is such a motor mouth that during their first conversation Fox tells him, completely seriously, "Breath, now!"
In Strawberry Vinegar, Rie's father after Licia returns with Rie from her first day of school.
Dad: RieLiciawelcomebackImissedyousomuchhowwasschooldidyouhaveagoodfirstdayanddidRietakecareofyouandidyoumakeanynewfriendsIhopeyouhadagoodtimeandeverythingwentwellmaybeitwashardifJapaneseisnotyourfirstlanguagebutImsureyoutriedyourbestandImveryproudofyou!!!
Rufus from Street Fighter IV doesn't know when to shut up. Just look at his win quotes — while everyone else has up to two lines of text in big, easy-to-read font, Rufus has three lines of font half the size text that positively stuffs the text box to the point of bursting.
Sieg in Suikoden Tierkreis fits this perfectly (at least in the English version), who is a talkative hero unlike any protagonist from the other games in the series. He goes out with a bang. Some suggest this was a solution to save space on the DS cartridge.
Super Mario Bros.:
- Done hilariously in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. A goomba who generally simply repeats the last word of the previous speaker's sentence suddenly starts talking. And talking. NONSTOP. After he's done, everyone stands around in stunned silence for a few seconds until his supervisor simply says "Whoa."
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong: The commercial DK is watching is voice-acted, most likely, as a parody of the Micro Machines commercials mentioned above in the "Commercials" section.
  "It's the amazing new Mini Mario toy! It walks, it talks, it says 'Mamma mia!'! Each one comes with its own crystal ball! Collect one, collect them all! Be the first one on your block to own the new Mini Mario toy! Hurry, before they're all sold out! Buy one, buy them all! Buy them all... buy them all..."
Touhou Project:
- The series may be full of Awesome Music right down to their original soundtrack but wait when you hear the vocal arrangements by various doujin circles out there especially these two.
- This is also an ability noted for all magicians under Patchouli's entry in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. The girl in question has a little trouble with that due to her asthma, though.
The gibberish in the song "BABY BABY!!" from Um Jammer Lammy and its soundtrack album Make It Sweet! is a whole lot of sounds sung extremely fast in a short period of time, represented in the lyrics as "#$%^&!"
Cameo Leon from Viewtiful Joe 2, who has a bad habit of blabbing Dr. Kranken and Gedow's evil plans to the heroes. Even his dying words go a mile a minute.
Another Day's Pin Prof from The World Ends with You:
Shooter: Wow, you know all about pins?
Pin Prof: A bit. See, first of all: you say pins? I say sharp design. All those tiny little graphics, framed in tiny little circles... There's a whole little world in there, and that's not even mentioning the symbolism! If you go back and look at the design process, you'll find a whole treasure trove of—
Neku: NO! Stupid kid got him started! Now he won't shut up for at least three days!

As the title would suggest, this is a staple of Zero Punctuation. Yahtzee edits out his pauses to achieve this effect.
Story Time Animated: Kara talks non-stop ever since she was 6 months old. Her parents took her to the doctor who diagnosed her with a talking disorder and recommended that she takes deep breaths so she would stop talking as much. When that didn't work, Kara's parents took her to her grandfather's farm.
RWBY:
- Ruby tends toward this when she's nervous or excited. It's especially noticeable whenever she waxes lyrical about weapons as she considers herself a weapons geek. If given a chance to talk about her dream job, she tends to start talking non-stop as well as she thinks the world of becoming a Huntress.
- Nora doesn't seem to have an off-switch when she gets going. She's even accompanied by her own unique zany music score to show when she's in full flow. She's first introduced trying to plan how she and her childhood friend Ren can make sure they end up on the same team together: not even cleaning teeth or eating breakfast can stop her talking.
- Dr. Oobleck's lectures and speeches when he gets to talking about history, geography, or any other subject he's knowledgeable about getting fast to the point of being almost impossible for either his students or the audience to follow.
FreedomToons: Ben Shapiro is humorously portrayed as this more so than usual.
Dr. Mac: Are—are you speeding this guy up? I can barely understand him.
Assistant: Speeding him up?! Mac, we're playing him in slow motion!
Peter, the titular character of Petera Dzive, narrates each episode at a very fast pace. As a result, he goes through his story humorously quickly, and the episodes never go over 60 seconds.
Inverted with Kanade Otonose from hololive. One of her traits is her tendency to slowly and loudly enunciate every word. This has led to commenters half-jokingly stating that watching her videos at 1.5x playback is a prerequisite as it makes her sound like she's talking normally.
Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "caffeine", Strong Sad becomes far more talkative than normal when he's on a caffeine buzz.
Strong Sad: I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! I feel bad. I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs!
Supermarioglitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers: "TOAD!THERE'SABOMBTHATSGOINGTOEXPLODEUNLESSWEFINDAVAULTWITHMONEY!"
Cheese from Object Land always speaks like this.
Overly Sarcastic Productions has this in spades, especially with Red. They truly show this of when Red summarizes notorious Door Stopper Mahabharata in 1 minute, and Blue later does the same with the War of the Roses (Blue artificially speeds up his voice a bit to make it, Red does not).
Chris Horner during every episode of The Butterfly Effect, and the companion series Beyond the Coverage.

Girl Genius:
- Agatha talks like this after having her first ever cup of coffee.
- Punch seems to have joined the ranks of people who can't seem to be able to shut up. Then again, if you had spent several years as The Speechless, you'd probably do the same.
El Goonish Shive:

Hanna from Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name is pretty chatty when nervous.
Rachel of Bittersweet Candy Bowl doesn't know when to shut up, and will blab various secrets and give out too much information.
Homestuck:
- Dave has a tendency to send so many consecutive text messages that other characters may leave the conversation, come back, and find him still going on by himself. His typing style doesn't help.
- Kankri, who the first time we see him his text eventually becomes so long it's impossible to READ. Then turns into three of the same.
- Karkat's rants often turn into this, complete with a truly impressive amount of profanity. It's probably a Vantas family trait.
- Resident Exposition Girl Aranea also tends to go on a bit, to the point of delivering a several-pages-long Info Dump on leprechaun romance for seemingly no reason whatsoever, and eventually, actively paying other characters to listen to her. She, like Kankri, is almost a parody of this trope.
Zordon, aka the babbling village idiot, in A Hate Story doesn't actually need to breathe, so once he gets started on his Wall of Text, he won't stop until someone interrupts him with a Big "SHUT UP!".
In Agents of the Realm, once Jordan gets more sure of herself, she starts talking and doesn't stop, to Norah's increasing annoyance.
Parodied in The Order of the Stick. One comic has Haley engaging in an internal dialogue with the personification of her self-loathing, while Elan is in the background of every panel saying "Blah, Blah, Blah". Turns out he was actually saying "Blah Blah Blah," to set a new record for the number of times he could say it in a row.
- Veldrina in "Invitation Only":
Veldrina: Hi there I’m Veldrina and I’m the sanctioned representative of the Western Pantheon and I’m running really late and you haven’t started without me please tell me you haven’t.
Stand Still, Stay Silent: It can be hard to get Sigrun to stop talking once she gets going, to the point that Mikkel frequently has trouble getting his advice in without getting interrupted.
Sydney from Grrl Power gets injected with a Truth Serum and it seems to react badly with her ADHD.^note At one point she complains that she's having trouble breathing because of it.
Goon: What the hell did you inject her with?
Rowan from Weak Hero is a careless guy who talks constantly, and his speciality in battle is both verbally hyping himself up and effortlessly mixing lies with the truth to make himself seem more intimidating. Even his friends sometimes zone out when he starts talking too much.

Scrambler of the Whateley Universe is a speedster, and has the standard tendency to talk at a hundred miles an hour and overlook what everyone else is saying. And heaven forbid she's talking about Stephenie Meyer books or something else she loves.
The Jade Regent Campaign from RPGMP3 features a character called Spivey, a Lyrakien Cleric of Desna. Spivey used to live in a cemetery, until the PCs came by. She then joined their caravan and followed them on their quest, quickly earning the nickname "Death Pixie", since most of her skills were focused on graveyard maintenance, at that point. She's always flitting around, dispensing invaluable moral advice and trying to get the PCs to be nicer to each other.
Spivey: There'sacoupletravellersahead! Weshouldfeedthem.
Harold: Ah, Spivey! How do you fly with that heart of gold?
Spivey: Oh, well... Desna gives me wings!
Misty: Her heart is made out of gold?! How do you know? [Visibly starts to ponder whether she should reach in, pull it out and check]
Harold: Y'know, with the Good Outsiders, I wouldn't be surprised.
Misty: [Grabs Spivey and shakes her] She's not heavy enough to have a heart made of gold?
Koya: Misty, that's not how we usually hug!

The bard Mira Marchand of Trials & Trebuchets has a tendency to do this when she's nervous, oftenleading her to inadvertently reveal more information than is good for her.
Gomer the Ranting Thespian, the host of three different podcasts on RT Gomer Productions, falls into this with some regularity.
Tom from Echo Chamber when explaining a trope to a non-Troper:

Mac Lethal, a rapper on YouTube, is known for his ridiculously fast raps.

Tear Of Grace's commentary style is basically this, combined a few other elements.
Tobuscus, of YouTube fame, has this as his Signature Style. He is seemingly incapable of not talking for more than a few seconds at a time, and his stream of consciousness frequently goes off on Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! and Metaphorgotten tangents. It tends to be most noticeable at the end of his video segments when he points out the links to various other videos and promotions and rattles off his closing catchphrases.
In Epic Rap Battles of History:
- The Bard as portrayed by George Watsky definitely qualifies. The following was said in about 15 seconds:
  William Shakespeare: I'm switching up my style like The Beatles with my pieces, each is such a wonder with a plethora of features, you're pathetically predictable, you think your new book might include the trisyllabic meter and some ghetto muppet creatures?

The river-spirit Maidin of Moonflowers is a talkative young man, as well as a pretty spacey member of The Fair Folk. His dialogue lasts for at least a paragraph at a time, and he's often reminded to get back on subject when he goes off on tangents.

"It's also revealed that Anna is really a clone of Yu created by this evil doctor who's running the whole tournament and that the doctor was the one behind Yu's restaurant going into debt because he wanted Yu to sign up for the fighting tournament and fight against Anna so his cloning experiments would prosper SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THE STORY IN THIS HENTAI BEING TOO DAMN COMPLICATED!?!?"
Some of the videos under the YouTube channel J.T. Sexkik, which largely poke fun at hilariously misspelled or otherwise bizarre Yahoo!

Musician and cover artist Anthony Vincent frequently does this in his Ten Second Songs series when he is challenged to sing In the Style of one of the aforementioned fast rappers, though it is unclear from his videos whether he manages the cadence on his own merits or speeds things up for those segments.
Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions has a reputation for this, more as a personal trait than as a gimmick. Taken to its logical conclusion in this video, where she summarizes The Mahabharata^note in one minute.

Caddicarus has a penchant for talking relatively quickly most of the time, but during his "Current Quickies" videos, he really turns it up and speaks incredibly fast.
Critical Role:
- Just don't get Lyra started on Aldor... or anything, really.
- Jester Lavorre from the Second Campaign. Especially apparent whenever she uses the Sending spell which has a 25-word limit. She is often only through introduction and half of the real questiin when the spell cuts her off.
Karim Debbache, host of Crossed usually talks fast enough to give this effect while remaining intelligible. He enumerates (after taking a deep breath) some of the flaws of what he describes as "the worst scene in cinema history" in his review of House of the Dead.
Dream SMP: Tommy speaks very quickly, which, combined with his tendency to just say everything that comes to mind, means he can spend ages just talking. He also cuts himself off mid-sentence a lot, leading to quotes that sound like he's trying to have three conversations at once.
Tommy: Anyway– God, these walls, you need to get them sorted out, hey, that's why– no, that's not why I'm here, I need to start being more honest. I'm thinking out loud a lot these days, Technoblade!
Techno: I've noticed.
Freeman's Mind: In Episode 45, Gordon mows down soldiers to the Major General's Song and comprises a new verse to it on the fly. In that same episode, he kills another squad of soldiers whilst doing a Valley Girl impersonation, all while avoiding being hit by a Bradley IFV's rocket. Again, on the fly.

Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors: Done a lot. Including "GODDAMNITSONOFABITCHPIECEOFSHITMOTHERFUCKINGASSHOLEFUCKFUCK".
Matt of Mystery Science Theater F1 tends to speak very quickly sometimes, especially when narrating the start of races.
Origins SMP: Aimsey rattles off on a long tangent bragging about their accomplishments while introducing themself to Bek. Bek's episode lampshades it by transcribing said tangent as one overly-long sentence.
Aimsey: I mean, I'm nothing if innovative and I'm also very smart and amazing and incredible and talented–
Bek: (interjecting) And humble.
Aimsey: If you don't know me– I– yeah, I'm so humble. Uh, I'm Aimsey, I'm so talented; I'm actually a writer– autograph– autobiography-maker, a film-maker, as well as a film– film star and a– and a TV show artist star and a– I write– and I– I'm an artist… and I'm royal! And I'm famous and rich! That's me!
Mike Rugnetta of PBS Idea Channel tends to talk very breathlessly throughout most of his videos.
Pokemon Pals: Ash isn't quite as bad as some, but he does talk a lot, especially when he starts listing things. Misty becomes concerned with him when he hasn't talked for hours, saying that he usually can't stop for more than five minutes.

Key-per and Booko from Adventure Time are both able to talk so fast that it becomes difficult to understand the words. Double points for the Key-per being voiced by John Moschitta, Jr. (see above)
Daggett does this in an episode of The Angry Beavers when he discovers a camera poking out of the sink.
Daggett: NORB! Theresanalieninvasion!

Daggett: THERESANALIENINVASION!
Norbert: Woah, speak slowly and put spaces between your words.

Animaniacs:
- One episode has the Warner Siblings having to put up with a man named Francis "Pip" Pumphandle (voiced by Ben Stein) who goes into a very long rambling monologue about cheese balls; his speech is soft but continuous as the Warners resort to ever more blatant methods to tell him goodbye. To say that he annoys them to no end would be putting it mildly. Ironically, when the guy finally decides to leave them alone at the end of the episode, the Warner's were so used to his endless babbling that they can't handle the quiet.
- Yakko, aka Mr. United States Canada Mexico Panama, also fits this trope.
The Arthur episode "Revenge of the Chip" has D.W. having an Imagine Spot of her mother doing this as she lists off all the relatives she's sending an embarrassing newspaper clipping about D.W. to, complete with her head turning into a giant pair of talking lips as she babbles faster and faster.
Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- While Aang is normally a Keet, he doesn't really slip into Motor Mouth all that much. When an Earth Kingdom General gives him the Avatar-verse equivalent of Red Bull in order to try and bring out the Avatar State, though:
  Aang: IsitworkingisitworkingIcan'ttellsomebodytellmeifI'mintheAvatarState'causeIdon'thaveagoodviewofmyselfamItalkingtooloud?
- The Legend of Korra gives us Ikki, the middle child of three airbending children between a Little Miss Snarker older sister and a Cloudcuckoolander younger brother, but is the more energetic and talkative of them to the point it annoys their father, Tenzin, and his rival, Tarllok. She never stops. She does, however, demonstrate Hidden Depths on Bolin when he tries a slightly subdued Motor Mouth spiel of questions which she manages to answer perfectly with pin-point accuracy.
Luna from The Boondocks has a very weird speech pattern, where if she starts to get upset, the rate at which she is talking rapidly accelerates mid-sentence.
Downplayed in Central Park, Molly normally talks at a regular speed, but when she's around kids her own age, she acts awkwardly around them and ends up talking too much and a little fast. In Season 1 "Squirrel, Interrupted", Molly awkwardly asks Danny if she can play chess with him by saying too many words. Danny is concerned that Molly is going through some stuff and thinks she won't be able to concentrate if they play, but Molly ensures him this is the normal amount of words she says.
Danger Mouse has Penfold, who just keeps talking in every episode. It's no wonder Danger Mouse's catchphrase is "Penfold, shush".
Dinosaur Train:
- Mrs. Pteranodon tells Buddy and Tiny that Petey Peteinosaurus is shy, so they're stunned when he bombards them with questions the first time they meet him.
- Oren and Ollie Ornithomimus are fast-talkers, fitting with how fast they generally are.
Family Guy:
- A cutaway shows that Cleveland was a fast-talking auctioneer, until a totem pole fell on his head, causing his current slow speech pattern.
- In "I Dream of Jesus," when Peter was accusing others of having a motive for swiping his "Surfin' Bird" record, Peter talks this way when he describes his crazy theory about everyone against "the record."
Goo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, particularly when she becomes excited. And just to be clear, her voice was not sped up, Grey Delisle really can speak that fast.
Mabel from Gravity Falls is noticeably much more talkative than her more introverted brother, Dipper, sometimes veering into this territory.
The Blabbermouth of Echo Island from Here Comes the Grump. It's right there in the name, too.
Kaeloo: In Episode 105, Kaeloo talks so quickly that her face turns blue from lack of oxygen.
King of the Hill:
- Boomhauer is a Motor Mouth to the point of also being The Unintelligible. Although he's apparently unintelligible even when he slows down; in "Propane Boom", when the Mega-Lo-Mart explodes, he tries to call 911. Upon being asked to slow down, he says something like "That... dang... Meg... Lo... Mart... go... boom!" before fadeout.
- Most of what he's saying is him simply separating nearly every word by the words "dang ol," "man," "talkinbout," or "tellyouwhat." What makes it funny is that Mike Judge supposedly based the character's method of talking from a phone message complaining about Beavis And Butthead (which he inexplicably called "Porky's Butthole").
- In "A Fire-Fighting We Will Go", a flashback from his perspective shows Dale, Hank, and Bill talking like this while Boomhauer speaks normally.
Looney Tunes:
- Chuck Jones' lesser-known character Sniffles the mouse is quite the chatterbox. His Expy in Tiny Toon Adventures, Li'l Sneezer, tends to ramble as well, although not as consistently as Sniffles himself.
- Charlie Dog — topped by a scene in "A Hound for Trouble", while posing as a waiter at an Italian restaurant. A customer asks for a dish with a really long name, building up to a potential Bluff the Impostor moment.
  Charlie: I'm-a sorry. We no got-a la bellatiaradelunocacciatoritetrozinacurobudemarinaradelapiazaregutinaemuzarellafina. *Turns to the audience, blows raspberry*
- Friz Freleng's quite obscure 1940 character Little Blabbermouse fits this bill quite easily. His foil is a mouse avatar of W.C. Fields who conducts tours of a supermarket and a department store. After Freleng discarded the character, these traits got transplanted to the aforementioned Sniffles.
- Foghorn Leghorn also qualifies, though unlike a lot of... "I say", unlike a lot of other examples on this page, it's not so much that he talks really fast, it's more that he can never stop talking.^note"Stop", that is. The prime example of Foggy's motor-mouthedness is "The Fractured Leghorn", where he refuses to stop talking and allow a barnyard cat to get a word in edgewise; the cat's frustration builds throughout the cartoon until he finally slams him with a Big "SHUT UP!" — but the motor-mouthed Foggy STILL won't stop talking, even holding back the Iris Out to get a few last words in!
- The little rabbit Bugs Bunny protects from Pete Puma in "Rabbit's Kin" talks so fast that, combined with his extremely high-pitched voice, he is The Unintelligible.
- Bugs himself goes into an unintelligible run in "Racketeer Rabbit" when Rocky (a caricature of Edward G. Robinson) puts a gun to his head, demanding to know what Bugs did with the stolen money.
- In "A Mouse Divided", Sylvester the cat has to protect his mouse son (It Makes Sense in Context) from being taken by other alley cats. One such alley cat poses as a fast-talking vacuum cleaner salesman.
  Cat: GooddaysirIrepresenttheLittleGiantVacuumCleanerCompanyofWallaWallaWashingtonandifyouwatchcloselyyouwillnoticethepowerfulactionofthismachineasitremovescompletelyandforeverallforeignparticlesfromaroundtheroomIrealizethatyoumaynotbereadytopurchaseLittleGiantrightnowbutifyoueverdojustremembertheLittleGiantVacuumCleanerCompanyofWallaWallaWashington.
- "The Windblown Hare" had the Big Bad Wolf read the Red Riding Hood story very fast— his voice is even pitched up slightly to emphasize it.
- In Loonatics Unleashed, Rev Runner's Super-Speed is emphasized by having him talk super fast.
- Lola Bunny in The Looney Tunes Show. She talks a mile-a-minute, and Bugs is easily annoyed by this.
Mega Man (Ruby-Spears) has the self-explanatory Quick Man, who speaks like this in his rare few appearances. Oddly enough, he also takes long pauses between each of his sentences, so there are notable moments of silence in between strings of rapid-fire speech.
The Mr. Men Show: Little Miss Chatterbox, just like her counterpart from the books, talks a mile a minute.
Phineas from Phineas and Ferb is always going on about something, as a foil to his step-brother and Heterosexual Life-Partner, Ferb. The only time he's been shown to be quiet is when he is brainwashed (and that is in a dream).
My Little Pony 'n Friends: Whizzer (a pink pegasus pony with three beany caps as a cutie mark) is generally portrayed this way in the original My Little Pony, but it is inconsistent for the most part. Generally, though, she talks fast and flies fast.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- Pinkie Pie is very prone to this:
  Pinkie Pie: Isn't this exciting? Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for the time I saw you walking into town and I went Gasp!, but I mean really, who can top that?
- Pinkie Pie was later weaponized in "The Last Roundup", where Applejack is forced to admit why she's working at a cherry orchard instead of coming home to Ponyville by being subjected to Pinkie Pie's incessant rambling about Inherently Funny Words.
- Fluttershy can turn into one of these under the right circumstances (such as when first meeting Spike and when critiquing her first gala dress).
- Discord sometimes has a tendency to speak somewhat quickly.
- In the episode "No Second Prances", Big Mac is turned into a motor mouth, to his horror, by Starlight Glimmer, since, as she put it, she couldn't make friends with someone who didn't talk much. Funnily enough, the flashback in "Where the Apple Lies" shows that Big Mac used to talk a lot, to the point that none of his family could ever get a word in edgewise. He became famously monosyllabic in an attempt to listen to others more.
- Autumn Blaze, an energetic Kirin from the episode "Sound Of Silence". She has become this due to years of being silent. Whenever she talks, she tends to talk as much as she can and even asks others to do the same.
- Silverstream, a Hippogriff student to the School of Friendship in season 8, is very talkative when she gets excited, which is often, due to her Mundane Object Amazement.
- In the episode "She Talks to Angel", Angel Bunny starts spouting rapid-fire tongue twisters after going through a "Freaky Friday" Flip with Fluttershy.
Jocko, a humanoid rooster introduced in the The Neverending Story: The Animated Adventures of Bastian Balthazar Bux episode "Morla's Wish", is constantly rambling on and on with an endless array of never-ending stories. He ultimately admits that this has driven off pretty much everyone he's ever known and left him all alone. Ironically, this causes him and Morla to become best friends at their first meeting; Bastian even deduces that Jocko was the Childlike Empress' present to Morla.
There are a few in Phineas and Ferb. Dr Doofenschmirtz is most notable, as although he doesn't talk terribly fast, he is a champion rambler, and can go on at great length about whatever he is talking about, as well as frequently interrupting himself to question a turn of phrase, to explain details, or to go on a tangent. Vivian Garcia-Shapiro also applies, as she loves to chat, and can do so very fast.
The Powerpuff Girls (1998):
- Mojo Jojo, always. He takes villainous rants to an art form, and never shuts up even when there's no-one around to listen to him.
- Everyone in the special "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!" seems to suffer from this to the point where many lines cannot be understood.
Razzberry Jazzberry Jam: Kaz. Here’s a sample of her dialogue:
Kaz: (in a single breath) Well, that was loud but not as loud as a jackhammer I bet because those are loud enough to make you go crazy my dad says even though I heard one once and I myself am still perfectly sane.
Ready Jet Go!: Jet just loves to talk. He has enough breath in him to recite all the neighborhood stars and most of the moons of Jupiter.
Rick and Morty: The Smith family, with their constant arguing between dialogue, especially Rick, best explained at the end of the pilot.
Rocky and Bullwinkle: Both to emulate the old radio programs, and to make up for the very low budget Limited Animation, all of the characters' dialogue is said in very rapid succession.
The Simpsons:
- In "Cape Feare": "BARTDOYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIESBEFOREYOUGOTOBED?!" and "BARTYOUWANNASEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?!"
- And when Homer gets scared, he talks insanely fast. For example, in the "Treehouse of Horror VI" story "Homer^3":
  Homer: "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODTHEUNIVERSEISCOLLAPSINGANDTHERESABIGHOLEANDIMGONNAGETSUCKEDDOWNTHEHOLEAND WHATSGONNABEONTHEOTHERSIDEIDONTKNOOOW!"
- In "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy", Lisa goes on a breathless rant about how offensive the new talking Malibu Stacy dolls are while Bart just stands there confused.
  Lisa: It's not funny, Bart! Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the right way to act — that they can never be anything more than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a rich husband and spend all day on the phone with their equally vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look pretty and land a rich husband! (seethes with rage)
  Bart: (beat) Just what I was gonna say.
- In "King-Size Homer", Homer is unable to get a lift to the nuclear plant to stop the explosion due to rambling about poisonous gas, thus scaring people off. When he tries to get an ice cream truck to give him a lift, his rambling and obesity scare the driver out of the truck.
  Homer: Hey, buddy, you gotta slow your car down and let me in, because I'm a big fat guy and I can't go anywhere! Because there could be some poison gas, I mean there's really going to be poison gas, and everybody's going to be dead, especially me!
- In "Brush With Greatness", Bart and Lisa pester Homer into taking them to the Mount Splashmore water park by asking "Willyoutakeustomountsplashmore?" over and over before he agrees.
South Park: Eric Cartman's Seamless Spontaneous Lie to cover up their "Toilet Paper" incident when the gang is sent to the Principal's office.^note
Cartman: Okay. Last night, all four of us were at the bowling alley until about 7:30, at which time we noticed Ally Sheedy, the Goth chick from The Breakfast Club, was bowling in the lane next to us, and we asked her for her autograph, but she didn't have a pen, so we followed her out to her car, but on the way we were accosted by five Scientologists who wanted to give us all personality tests, which were administered at the Scientology Center in Denver until 10:45, at which time we accidentally boarded the wrong bus home and ended up in Rancho de Burritos Rojos, south of Castle Rock, and finally got a ride home with a man who was missing his left index finger, named Gary Bushwell, arriving home at 11:46.
Thomas & Friends:
- While Duck is a sensible engine, he often rambles about being Great Western, much to the annoyance of the other engines. It only took Donald to point this out to him by making quacking noises.
- Marion the Steam Shovel (introduced in Tale of the Brave) also qualifies. She could talk for hours on end about her past adventures and how she loves digging. This sometimes causes the other engines to avoid her, though Thomas is always happy to listen to her stories. Ironically, she does not think of herself as talkative.
- Phillip the Diesel Boxcab also loves to talk a lot, particularly about the time he (allegedly) beat Gordon in a race. When Edward had to temporarily stay with him in Wellsworth Sheds during the events of "A Shed For Edward", Philip would talk all through the night, costing Edward his much-needed sleep. When he saw just how tired Edward was, Philip learned to be quiet during the night so Edward could sleep, and this led to Edward choosing to stay in Wellsworth Sheds with him permanently.
In the Thunder Cats 2011 episode "Song of the Petalars", the Lilliputian young Petalar Emrick is like this on meeting the Thundercats, rattling off questions to Lion-O about his species and his sword with breathless excitement while climbing vegetation to get a better view of them.
Total Drama:
- Izzy is prone to rapid-fire and often lengthy mind dumps.
- Staci never, EVER shuts up. Even when she’s in grave danger, she still can't stop telling lies about her alleged relatives inventing things.
- Scarlett is normally The Quiet One; however, when she starts speaking, she doesn't stop, especially when explaining something scientific.
Transformers:
- Both The Transformers (G1) and Transformers: Animated Blurr. Though each has a very different style: G1 Blurr repeats himself constantly, while Animated Blurr's dialogue is so densely informative (and contains enough Expospeak) that every word counts (though he ironically spent his first appearance as The Voiceless). Both versions of Blurr are voiced by John Moschitta, mentioned above, and other than the normal voice processing that anyone voicing a 'bot in Transformers undergoes, there is no "speed-up" effect being applied, Moschitta just plain is that fast.
- Also, there is Bluestreak, who plays it in a different manner than either Blurr; Bluestreak simply never shuts up as a means of coping with being the only survivor of his hometown's destruction, as if he's trying to drown out his own thoughts and memories.
Happens in Veggietales during the silly song, "Love My Lips".
Larry: Ten days after I turned eight / Got my lips stuck in a gate / My friends all laughed / And I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and we couldn't even talk to each other until the fifth week because both our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he just spoke Polish and I only knew like three words in Polish except now I know four because Oscar taught me the word for lip: Usta!
Welcome to Tonka Town: Boomer talks like this out of panic when telling Chuck about the fire by the library.
Quicksilver from X-Men: Evolution talks faster than the other characters by just enough. It's a nice touch of Glamour Failure when he's in civilian dress. Understandable when you consider that everything about him is sped up, to the point that even when forcing himself to act at normal speed, the world is still moving at "long line at the DMV" speed to him (this is used to explain his often generally disagreeable attitude in the comicverse).
Mr Krbec and His Animals: When Mr. Krbec is injured and spends some time in hospital, his replacement is a young philosophy student Pilnáček who talks super quickly, especially when he shows the castle to tourists.
Pilnáček: The-castle-was-seized-burnt-down-and-rebuilt. 100-years-later-t-was-again-seized-and-burnt-down-and-rebuilt. These-cannon-balls-remained-from-that-period. 100-years-later-seized-and-burned-down-again. Next-group!
Work It Out Wombats!: Zeke may not talk fast, but he does love to talk a lot and think out loud. Ellie and Super are the only ones who are willing to listen him go on and on.

Auctioneers. This video adds a beat to their speech to make them sound like rappers.
Edward G. Robinson sometimes achieved this (see his role as Barton Keyes in Double Indemnity), purportedly on the first run-through without having to do a second take.
Ben Croshaw. His segment on The Escapist isn't called Zero Punctuation] for nothing.
- If anything, Yahtzee has gotten faster and more intense; he sounds positively sedate in his older videos compared to his newer ones. He has stated that the fast-talking was by accident. Apparently he keeps it up and edits the pauses out, because it's funnier that way.
- What's even better is that, for April Fools' Day, Yahtzee posted a video of his character sitting by a slow-ticking grandfather clock, while slowly reciting a few lines from from John Keats' poem Ode To Melancholy.
To people unfamiliar with a language, native speakers often come off as this way. Latin American Spanish is a great example (in Spain, is nowhere as fast).
- When learning another language and being exposed to a natural conversation in that language as opposed to, say, audio that's recorded especially for learners, it can really seem to the person learning the language that this is in effect. In reality, it only seems quickly because of unfamiliarity, and with enough exposure and practice the effect is reduced.
Benedict Cumberbatch, though even he has some trouble keeping up with his character's lines in Sherlock.
- Just look at how long his answers are in this interview. This man has A LOT to say!
Sir Ron Lionheart. See for example here.
Watch a Policy/Cross-X Debate round. Try to understand what they're saying.
- On some national circuits, speeches sound less like words and more like a low hum. It gives a strategic advantage. A "spread" debater will throw so many arguments at their opponent it will actually be impossible to answer them all. Thus, any arguments left untouched can be claimed as enough to warrant a victory.
- To go with the other Speech and Debate examples, in some Extemporaneous speaking rounds, participants speak so rapidly it can be hard for the judge to hear what they're saying. Though, to be fair, it's very hard to cram all your facts and sources into a seven minute speech
Neal Cassady, known by some of his friends as Speed Limit. Tom Wolfe, in his book on the Merry Pranksters, tried to transcribe Cassady's continual stream-of-consciousness ramblings and came up with things like this: "Just passing through folks don't mind us my schedule just happened to coincide with Mr. Kesey's here and all the redundancy you understand and the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson and the worst of the poems of Schiller huntin' and peckin' away as they did except insofar as where you draw the line that is but in any case I believe it was at let me see Sebring yes and when Fangio with the exhaust valves wide open and the petcocks too that you've sometimes seen starting with Wordsworth you see and working backward..."
Sports announcers, especially in fast-action sports like basketball and hockey.
- Any basketball fan in Los Angeles prior to the Turn of the Millennium grew up with the rapid-fire play-by-play of legendary Lakers announcer Chick Hearn, particularly his famous "This game's in the refrigerator: the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!"
- Parodied in one song by System of a Down, who know a thing or two about talking way too fast.
- Not to mention Colombian football (soccer) commentators, like Édgar Perea.
At first, Mexican people claimed they didn't understand Panamanian singer Flex/Nigga when he talked. Fortunately for them, now he talks a lot slower.
Hondurans are notable in that they don't have an accent, however their speech pattern is still distinguishable to other Spanish speakers because of this trope.
- This has led to some annoying Verbal Tics in most young Hondurans (and adults if not corrected, which in turn can lead to some embarrassing Inter-American meetings) like inadvertently joining words that commonly go together to form a nonexistent combination, like taking es and que to form Esque (this is so common that first graders will write it like this, though it's usually corrected by the second grade), and most noticeable (and embarrassing even amongst Hondurans even though we all have done it at least once) is to inadvertently change the S in the middle of a word for a J while Motor-Talking, famously leaving the already mispronounced Esque as Ejque. This tics can also happen in other countries, like Colombia, but it's usually attributed to their accent and not their Motor Mouth (Lucky bastards).
Chileans, combined with this trope and the fact they have a very unique accent, are a nightmare for people from other Spanish speaking countries to understand. Think Spanish, foul-mouthed Boomhauer and extend it to an entire country.
One stereotype of Indian people is that they speak English very fast - amusingly, they think everyone else speaks English very fast.
Oregonians, according to one analysis of customer service calls.
Sirius XM radio DJ Terry Young is nicknamed "Motormouth" since his delivery tends to be mumbled and very fast. And incredibly irritating. In fairness to Young, he's making a conscious effort to mimic the style of Top 40 radio DJs in the '50s and '60s, who very often utilized this trope.
Youtube Let's Play-er raocow isn't usually spectacularly fast, but the way he rambles on without pause, or concern for the topic he was speaking on four words ago, inspires awe in all but the most jaded of viewers. Apparently (and fortunately for people trying to talk to him) this is something he does semi-on-purpose, and having an actual conversation with him brings a much more normal speech pattern.
Fran Capo. The video clip goes into more detail about how she can talk so fast. Good luck trying to understand what she says when she's going for speed.
Creationist Duane Gish was so infamous for his tactic of throwing off massive amounts of antievolution arguments in lectures and debates (with the intent of snowjobbing the debate opponent) that it's become known as the "Gish Gallop."
This can occur as a result of psychiatric conditions such as mania and schizophrenia or stimulant drugs such as methamphetamine, wherein it is called Pressure of speech.
This can also be a warning sign that the person you're talking to is on stimulants, and can be induced from anything from too much caffeine and/or nicotine right up to cocaine and meth. That said, meth Motor Mouth tends to have distinctive features (specifically the speech tending toward being accusatory or angry or paranoid) as opposed to the more "nervous" Motor Mouth that results from a chain-smoking and coffee session, for example, or the "I LOVE EVERYONE AND YOU'RE ALL MY BEST FRIEND" Motor Mouth that's seen in the more annoying ecstasy users.
Welsh stand-up comedian Rhod Gilbert.
Anyone in a panic, pain or flooded with stims/adrenaline can be this.
Often this is the case with certain kinds of autistic people, who may unintentionally speak very quickly, as they have trouble reading the social cues that would tell neurotypical people that the person they're speaking to is losing interest.
Rebel XD holds the current world record for fastest rapping at 683 syllables in 54.5 seconds.
Little kids often talk a lot and loudly to family or friends due to not knowing when to stop, which can usually lead to this.
When it gets right down to it, anyone can be this; it's not the speed itself that's a problem for people, but rather the fact that they run out of breath quickly, forget what to say (or, if they're improvising, can't think of anything), or stumble over certain words, especially when alliteration is involved. The people you see that talk really fast just overcome these problems.
The various forms of Chinese often sound very fast to Western sensibilities when spoken, and the information density is through the roof as each syllable is often an entire word, but the context of each word can only be drawn from the entire sentence. Because the language is tonal (four different variations to each syllable, each in turn with numerous possible meanings, see also the 'Shi Shi shi shi shi poem') this also leads to the peculiar quirk of quickly spoken Chinese also being generally louder due to the need to inflect each syllable clearly.
A symptom of ADHD is speaking faster and/or more than most people, often blurting out whatever pops into their head, due to impulsivity being one of the major symptoms. Bipolar people can also get like this in manic phases.
Both John and Hank Green of the Vlogbrothers. No matter where they are, what they're doing, or what YouTube channel they're appearing on, expect them both to be talking up a storm. Perhaps it originated from the 'under four minutes' restriction of their early Brotherhood 2.0 videos; they only added the exception for educational content later.
Japanese seiyu Tomohiro Nishimura did a voice sample of himself speaking very fast.
- Casual Japanese in general can sound like this to unexperienced/beginner foreign language learners, who tend to start studying the language with the slower, solemn keigo, or the simpler, emphasized dialect used in Anime.
There is an actual illness that causes this, called Logorrhea.
John Moschitta Jr, otherwise known as 'the Micro Machines Man', once held the Guinness World Record for 'World's Fastest Talker' (his record was 586 words per minute. His record was subsequently broken by Steve Woodmore (637 words per minute), who was in turn beaten by Sean Shannon with 665 words per minute.
Singlish is very guilty of this, as it involves speaking sentences in machine-gun speed, mish-mashed with vocabulary borrowed from English, Mandarin (and other Chinese dialects), Malay, and Tamil.
Ben Shapiro, an American conservative political commentator, is infamous for this.
Michael Jones is the most talkative person in Rooster Teeth, to the point where it was brought up that that he can just talk for hours. He also dominates most of the conversations in Let's Plays and Off Topic podcast episodes, with lengths varying from two to three hours long. It's quite fitting that Off Topic episodes that he's not on are usually much shorter.
Geoff Ramsey: Michael is an engine. He's a verbal engine.
Anne Frank is famous for being a lively chatterbox, much to the chagrin of her math teacher, who punished her by making her write three essays about being one.
Like small children, older people also have a reputation of telling rambling, pointless stories to anyone within earshot.
Spotify has a tool to speed up the playback of podcasts without altering the pitch that has this effect on speakers.
Street vendors, to both attract and convince costumers - there's an expression in Portuguese that goes "talks more than a Snake Oil Salesman".
