Product description. Celebrate your style with the powerful, portable and exquisitely designed VAIO(R) VGN-C140G/B notebook PC. This functional fashion statement features a 13.3-inch widescreen display with energy-saving XBRITE-ECO technology. Here’s a scenario you may not like, but could happen every day, because it’s always viruses season for computers. You’re working on an important project and suddenly start noticing annoying pop-ups displayed on your computer. E*thirteen TRS Plus 11 speed 9-44t Cassette for XD Driver $ 309.00 The TRS Plus 11 speed cassette from e*thirteen is compatible with Sram or Shimano shifting and with a 9.

I bought my Macbook Air in September of 2011 new from the Apple store. My trackpad was replaced by Apple in September of 2012 as it gradually began to become unresponsive. Some of these comments are so fucking stupid. I’m khmer and i’m 16 and i’ve lived here all my life. The only things this article focuses on are sex,drugs and alcohol. 定休日 毎週日曜日＆ 第1・第3・第5月曜日 TEL 03-3251-0025 FAX 03-3256-3328 Email web_shop@kaijin-musen.jp.

Before sliding on the cassette, SRAM recommends the use of anti-seize or grease on the XD driver’s threads and spline. The most crucial aspect of installation is not to over tighten the cassette.

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, 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 BECAUSE OFTHESTATEMENTIONEDABOVEORMAYBEJUST—SHUT 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 to prevent others interrupting. If your Motor Mouth character tends to talklike they're inan 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.

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

Examples:

• In the area of commercials, the definitive Motor Mouth is no doubt actor John Moschitta, Jr, 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 Chickenin 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: 'Saveyourre CEIPT 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.

• 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 Kare Kano. 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 Kodomo no Omocha 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 Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. ('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.

• 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 character 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: Where to even begin?
  • 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.
• Haiyore! Nyarko-san'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'

• 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.

• 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.
• 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 Info Dump.
• 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.

• 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.
  • 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.
• 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/HaloMassive 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'
• In Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Krillin just can not shut up when he's 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 intoa 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).

• 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 ShowWoody'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.

• 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.

• 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 on Bon Cop, Bad Cop. The comedian who plays the part, Louis-Jose 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.

• When Mr. Hair-Trigger TemperJoe 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. 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'.
• Motor Mouth 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). Taken Up to Eleven in Ant-Man and the Wasp, where 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• In Animorphs The Garatron was talking like this- 'Iamconductinganinspectionon TV Tropes - andamquitedisappointedthatIhavenotyetbeenmentionedonthispage.. Iwillreportthisdefeciencytomysuperiorsandbepromotedformyefforts.'
• 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.

• Hermione Granger from Harry Potter was so excited to be going to Hogwarts in her first year, she talked very fast indeed.
• 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.
• 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
• Rupert Psmith in P. G. Wodehouse's novels. 'I'm a man of few words myself.'
• 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 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 to Eleven 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.
• 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.

• Tahiri in the Star WarsExpanded 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. And his sister. ('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.
• Nina Tanleven: The Ghost in the Third Row has costume designer Eileen Taggert, who has a tendency to babble on and on.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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?'.

• 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.
• 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.
• Motor Mouth 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Marine the Raccoon from Sonic Rush Adventure is something of a Motor Mouth, while fitting in every single piece of Australian slang ever conceived.

• 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!

• Sieg in Suikoden Tierkreis fits this perfectly (at least in the English version), since he's a talkative hero unlike any protagonist from the other games in the series. He goes out with a bang.

• 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 interrupts 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.

• 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..'
• In Crash Twinsanity, Cortex is one of these momentarily, thanks to the Evil Twins' reality-warping powers.
  Cortex 'I will-'
  Moritz, dismissively 'Bo-riiing!'
  Cortex, speaking too fast to be intelligible 'Ishallcrushyoulikethepunyruntsyouare, youarenothingtomeforIamthegreatandallpowerfulNeoCortex! Howdareyoumock, manhandleandmanipulateme! Restassured, Iwilltakemyterriblevengeanceupon..' [He stops, panting heavily.]
• 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.
• 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.
• * Dance Dance Revolution has a song called 'Super Star', by DJ Rich, where the second verse is unhearably fast.

• Volteer from The Legend of Spyro is known for his motor mouth, evidently due to being an electric dragon. It also doesn't help that he uses really big words.
• ADOM 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.
• 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 when you have the message scrolling speed set to the maximum. 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 BuddyWheatley has apparently decided to make up for Chell'smuteness 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.
  • This trope is taken Up to Eleven with the Space Core. It does nothing but talk about space, gets excited about space, and demands you listen to him about how much he loves space.

• Merrill from Dragon Age II. Several times throughout the game she says 'I'm babbling again. I'll shut up now.'
• 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 thesetwo. Oh goodness!!! Have I ever been machinegunned with words from ever listening to them!
  • 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.
• If there is any reason to shut the voices off of DotA 2, it's Storm Spirit. When you're in a game with him, he never shuts up. He'll constantly zip 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!'. Let's just say..if you're playing a game with Storm Spirit, end it fast, or shut the voices off if you don't want to be hearing the Most Annoying Sound.
  • ..oooor focus him as Doom Bringer so you get the Most Wonderful Sound where he kills Storm Spirit and says, 'STORM SPIRIT..SHUT UP!'
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!'
• 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.
• 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. Thank goodness for subtitles.
• 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.)
• 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 '#$%^&!'
• In Shadowverse, most of Eleanor's dialogue are paragraphs, and she speaks so fast that Isabelle mentions her ears bending from listening to her.
• In Strawberry Vinegar, Rie's father after Licia returns with Rie from her first day of school.
  Dad: RieLiciawelcomebackImissedyousomuchhowwasschooldidyouhaveagoodfirstdayanddidRietakecareofyouandidyoumakeanynewfriendsIhopeyouhadagoodtimeandeverythingwentwellmaybeitwashardifJapaneseisnotyourfirstlanguagebutImsureyoutriedyourbestandImveryproudofyou!!!
• The King of Fighters XIV has the mysterious Kukri who combines this with his dirty language.
  Kukri (vs. Iori): 'LookslikethisdumbassjustdoesntgetityourgroupisnothingbutabunchofcrazyassholesIshouldputaleashoneveryoneinyourgarbageassgroupandcageyoulosersup.'
  Kukri (vs. Kyo): 'Showyouagoodtimewhatthehellareyoutalkingaboutwhatareyoustupidyouprobablytooktoomanyhitstotheheadmanagementshouldlookintoshitheadslikethisandbantheminadvance..'
• Shojo to Maou to Tactics: Erisu Vanstein can talk really fast, as the trailer for ~Maou Soudatsusen~ demonstrates.

• As the title would suggest, this is a staple of Zero Punctuation. Yahtzee edits out his pauses to achieve this effect.
• 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.
• 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!
• SMG4's Mario Bloopers: 'TOAD!THERE'SABOMBTHATSGOINGTOEXPLODEUNLESSWEFINDAVAULTWITHMONEY!'

• 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:
  Welcometothewonderfulhouseof teddtedd'shouseisyourhouseplease feelfreetostayaslongasyoulikeand letitbeknownifyourehavingnightmares it'sokforyoutosleepinmybedwelcome!
  • Later when Elliot uses his 'Party Animal Socialite' alter ego the first time, unprepared Melissa and Justin are caught in the river of mind-numbing speech. And it's not in obscured background Wall of Blather, but goes on non-stop in the foreground.

• 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:
  • 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.
• 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.

• 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!
• Gomer the Ranting Thespian, the host of threedifferentpodcasts on RT Gomer Productions, falls into this with some regularity.
• Tom from Echo Chamber when explaining a trope to a non-Troper:
  Tom:Romantic False Lead is when there's like, two characters, right? And they may or may not hook up at some point in the future.

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

• Randy Hayes from My Way Entertainment, better known to the internet as 'OH YEAH IT'S THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH AND IMMA WHOOP THE SHIT OUTCHA ASS, BITCHASS MUTHAFUCKA!'
  The Juggernaut:[after having nearly fallen down a trap door] Whoa, Jabba the Hutt! Aw hell no, I seen what the fuck happened in Star Wars andthismuthafuckaain'tfixingtobebitingonmygoddamnbootscauseI'llbeattheSHITouthisass, BITCH!

• Tear Of Grace's commentary style is basically this, combinedafewotherelements.
• 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?

• Lowtax's'Top 10 Scariest Moments of Gaming w/o PewDiePie'^* includes a text-to-speech program voicing out all the subtitles that appear on screen, causing it to sometimes lapse into this when it tries to pronounce emoticons.

• 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.
• 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.
• Critical Role: Just don't get Lyra started on Aldor.. or anything, really.
• Mike Rugnetta of PBS Idea Channel tends to talk very breathlessly throughout most of his videos.
• Matt of Mystery Science Theater F1 tends to speak very quickly sometimes, especially when narrating the start of races.
• 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 prosperSEE 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! Answers Questions, Wikihow articles, etc., do this when reading such posts that consist of streams of rambling, run-on text. Followed by a briefly displayed image of Speed Racer.

• 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.

• 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! There'sanalieninvasioninthebathroom!
  Norbert: ..What?
  Daggett: THERE'SANALIENINVASIONINTHEBATHROOM!
  Norbert: Woah, speak slowly and put spaces between your words.
  Daggett:[takes a deep breath] There's an alien invasion in the bathroom.
• 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, is 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.

• 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 the episode where Hank's workplace explodes, he tries to call 911. Upon being asked to slow down, he says something like 'That.. dang.. 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 he got from a wrong number, and was so perplexed and amused by it that he decided to base a character off of this random wrong call.
  • And in a flashback from his perspective, Dale, Hank, and Bill talk like this while Boomhauer speaks normally.
• Looney Tunes:

• 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*

• Bugs Bunny 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.
• 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 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!

• 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 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, as well as Mr. Chatterbox. They ARE both Motor Mouths.
• 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).
  • 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.

• The Powerpuff Girls:
  • 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 Powerpuff Girls special 'The Powerpuff Girls Rule!' seems to suffer from this to the point where many lines cannot be understood.
• The Simpsons:
  • In 'Cape Feare': 'BARTDOYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIESBEFOREYOUGOTOBED?!' and 'BARTYOUWANNASEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?!'
  • And when Homer gets scared, he talks insanely fast. For example, in the 'Treehouse of Horror VII' 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)
  • 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!

• 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 the Tank Engine:
  • 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 ThunderCats (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.

• 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.
  • 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!
• 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!

• Auctioneers. An example, courtesy of Mr. John Korrey Which were used as inspiration for the appropriately-titled Auctioneer Song.
• Actor 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.
• The game reviewer Ben 'Yahtzee' 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 basketball and hockey.
  • Any basketball fan who grew up in Los Angeles before this decade 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.

• 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-mouthedBoomhauer 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.
• 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.
• Colombian Football (soccer) commentators, like Édgar Perea.
• Creationist Duane Gish has become 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 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 and illogically, as they have trouble reading social cues.
• Rebel XD holds the current world record for fastest rapping at 683 syllables in 54.5 seconds.
• Little kids often talk a lot 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. 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.
• 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.

Arthur: Motor Mouth Mom

It's really an ImagineSpot, but this truly fits the bill!

The 2018 FIFA World Cup was the 21st FIFA World Cup, an international football tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA once every four years. It took place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018.^[1] It was the first World Cup to be held in Eastern Europe,^[2] and the 11th time that it had been held in Europe. At an estimated cost of over $14.2 billion, it was the most expensive World Cup.^[3] It was also the first World Cup to use the video assistant referee (VAR) system.^[4][5]

The finals involved 32 teams, of which 31 came through qualifying competitions, while the host nation qualified automatically. Of the 32 teams, 20 had also appeared in the previous tournament in 2014, while both Iceland and Panama made their first appearances at a FIFA World Cup. A total of 64 matches were played in 12 venues across 11 cities.^[6]Germany were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage. Host nation Russia were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

The final took place on 15 July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, between France and Croatia. France won the match 4–2 to claim their second World Cup title, marking the fourth consecutive title won by a European team.

Host selection[edit]

The bidding procedure to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup tournaments began in January 2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest.^[7] Initially, nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Mexico later withdrew from proceedings,^[8] and Indonesia's bid was rejected by FIFA in February 2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid.^[9] During the bidding process, the three remaining non-UEFA nations (Australia, Japan, and the United States) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids, and the UEFA nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid. As such, there were eventually four bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, two of which were joint bids: England, Russia, Netherlands/Belgium, and Portugal/Spain.

The 22-member FIFA Executive Committee convened in Zürich on 2 December 2010 to vote to select the hosts of both tournaments.^[10] Russia won the right to be the 2018 host in the second round of voting. The Portugal/Spain bid came second, and that from Belgium/Netherlands third. England, which was bidding to host its second tournament, was eliminated in the first round.^[11]

The voting results were as follows:^[12]

Criticism[edit]

The English Football Association and others raised concerns of bribery on the part of the Russian team and corruption from FIFA members. They claimed that four members of the executive committee had requested bribes to vote for England, and Sepp Blatter had said that it had already been arranged before the vote that Russia would win.^[13] The 2014 Garcia Report, an internal investigation led by Michael J. Garcia, was withheld from public release by Hans-Joachim Eckert, FIFA's head of adjudication on ethical matters. Eckert instead released a shorter revised summary, and his (and therefore FIFA's) reluctance to publish the full report caused Garcia to resign in protest.^[14] Because of the controversy, the FA refused to accept Eckert's absolving of Russia from blame, with Greg Dyke calling for a re-examination of the affair and David Bernstein calling for a boycott of the World Cup.^[15][16]

Teams[edit]

Qualification[edit]

For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, all eligible nations – the 209 FIFA member associations minus automatically qualified hosts Russia – applied to enter the qualifying process.^[17]Zimbabwe and Indonesia were later disqualified before playing their first matches,^[18][19] while Gibraltar and Kosovo, who joined FIFA on 13 May 2016 after the qualifying draw but before European qualifying had begun, also entered the competition.^[20] Places in the tournament were allocated to continental confederations, with the allocation unchanged from the 2014 World Cup.^[21][22] The first qualification game, between Timor-Leste and Mongolia, began in Dili on 12 March 2015 as part of the AFC's qualification,^[23] and the main qualifying draw took place at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, Saint Petersburg, on 25 July 2015.^{[24][25][26][1]}

Of the 32 nations qualified to play at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 20 countries competed at the previous tournament in 2014. Both Iceland and Panama qualified for the first time, with the former becoming the smallest country in terms of population to reach the World Cup.^[27] Other teams returning after absences of at least three tournaments include: Egypt, returning to the finals after their last appearance in 1990; Morocco, who last competed in 1998; Peru, returning after 1982; and Senegal, competing for the second time after reaching the quarter-finals in 2002. It was the first time three Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland and Sweden) and four Arab nations (Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia) qualified for the World Cup.^[28]

Notable countries that failed to qualify included four-time champions Italy (for the first time since 1958), three-time runners-up and third placed in 2014 the Netherlands (for the first time since 2002), and four reigning continental champions: 2017 Africa Cup of Nations winners Cameroon, two-time Copa América champions and 2017 Confederations Cup runners-up Chile, 2016 OFC Nations Cup winners New Zealand, and 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup champions United States (for the first time since 1986). The other notable qualifying streaks broken were for Ghana and Ivory Coast, who had both made the previous three tournaments.^[29]

Note: Numbers in parentheses indicate positions in the FIFA World Rankings at the time of the tournament.^[30]

Draw[edit]

The draw was held on 1 December 2017 at 18:00 MSK at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow.^[31][32] The 32 teams were drawn into 8 groups of 4, by selecting one team from each of the 4 ranked pots.

For the draw, the teams were allocated to four pots based on the FIFA World Rankings of October 2017. Pot 1 contained the hosts Russia (who were automatically assigned to position A1) and the best seven teams, pot 2 contained the next best eight teams, and so on for pots 3 and 4.^[33] This was different from previous draws, when only pot 1 was based on FIFA rankings while the remaining pots were based on geographical considerations. However, teams from the same confederation still were not drawn against each other for the group stage, except that two UEFA teams could be in each group.

Squads[edit]

Initially, each team had to name a preliminary squad of 30 players but, in February 2018, this was increased to 35.^[34] From the preliminary squad, the team had to name a final squad of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by 4 June. Players in the final squad may be replaced for serious injury up to 24 hours prior to kickoff of the team's first match and such replacements do not need to have been named in the preliminary squad.^[35]

For players named in the 35-player preliminary squad, there was a mandatory rest period between 21 and 27 May 2018, except for those involved in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final played on 26 May.^[36]

Officiating[edit]

On 29 March 2018, FIFA released the list of 36 referees and 63 assistant referees selected to oversee matches.^[37] On 30 April 2018, FIFA released the list of 13 video assistant referees, who solely acted in this capacity in the tournament.^[38]

Referee Fahad Al-Mirdasi of Saudi Arabia was removed in 30 May 2018 over a match-fixing attempt,^[39] along with his two assistant referees, compatriots Mohammed Al-Abakry and Abdulah Al-Shalwai. A new referee was not appointed, but two assistant referees, Hasan Al Mahri of the United Arab Emirates and Hiroshi Yamauchi of Japan, were added to the list.^[40][41] Assistant referee Marwa Range of Kenya also withdrew after the BBC released an investigation conducted by a Ghanaian journalist which implicated Marwa in a bribery scandal.^[42]

Video assistant referees[edit]

Shortly after the International Football Association Board's decision to incorporate video assistant referees (VARs) into the Laws of the Game, on 16 March 2018, the FIFA Council took the much-anticipated step of approving the use of VAR for the first time in a FIFA World Cup tournament.^[43][44]

VAR operations for all games are operating from a single headquarters in Moscow, which receives live video of the games and are in radio contact with the on-field referees.^[45] Systems are in place for communicating VAR-related information to broadcasters and visuals on stadiums' large screens are used for the fans in attendance.^[45]

VAR had a significant impact in several games.^[46] On 15 June 2018, Diego Costa's goal against Portugal became the first World Cup goal based on a VAR decision;^[47] the first penalty as a result of a VAR decision was awarded to France in their match against Australia on 16 June and resulted in a goal by Antoine Griezmann.^[48] A record number of penalties were awarded in the tournament, with this phenomenon being partially attributed to VAR.^[49] Overall, the new technology has been both praised and criticised by commentators.^[50] FIFA declared the implementation of VAR a success after the first week of competition.^[51]

Venues[edit]

Russia proposed the following host cities: Kaliningrad, Kazan, Krasnodar, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg, Samara, Saransk, Sochi, Volgograd, Yaroslavl, and Yekaterinburg.^[52] Most cities are in European Russia, while Yekaterinburg^[53] is very close to the Europe-Asia border, to reduce travel time for the teams in the huge country. The bid evaluation report stated: 'The Russian bid proposes 13 host cities and 16 stadiums, thus exceeding FIFA's minimum requirement. Three of the 16 stadiums would be renovated, and 13 would be newly constructed.'^[54]

In October 2011, Russia decreased the number of stadiums from 16 to 14. Construction of the proposed Podolsk stadium in the Moscow region was cancelled by the regional government, and also in the capital, Otkrytiye Arena was competing with Dynamo Stadium over which would be constructed first.^[55]

The final choice of host cities was announced on 29 September 2012. The number of cities was further reduced to 11 and number of stadiums to 12 as Krasnodar and Yaroslavl were dropped from the final list. Of the 12 stadiums used for the tournament, 3 (Luzhniki, Yekaterinburg and Sochi) have been extensively renovated and the other 9 stadiums to be used are brand new; $11.8 billion has been spent on hosting the tournament.^[56]

Sepp Blatter stated in July 2014 that, given the concerns over the completion of venues in Russia, the number of venues for the tournament may be reduced from 12 to 10. He also said, 'We are not going to be in a situation, as is the case of one, two or even three stadiums in South Africa, where it is a problem of what you do with these stadiums'.^[57]

In October 2014, on their first official visit to Russia, FIFA's inspection committee and its head Chris Unger visited St Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan and both Moscow venues. They were satisfied with the progress.^[58]

On 8 October 2015, FIFA and the Local Organising Committee agreed on the official names of the stadiums used during the tournament.^[59]

Of the twelve venues used, the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow and the Saint Petersburg Stadium – the two largest stadiums in Russia – were used most, both hosting seven matches. Sochi, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Samara all hosted six matches, including one quarter-final match each, while the Otkrytiye Stadium in Moscow and Rostov-on-Don hosted five matches, including one round-of-16 match each. Volgograd, Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg and Saransk all hosted four matches, but did not host any knockout stage games.

Stadiums[edit]

Twelve stadiums in eleven Russian cities were built and renovated for the FIFA World Cup.^[60]

• Kaliningrad: Kaliningrad Stadium. The first piles were driven into the ground in September 2015. On 11 April 2018 the new stadium hosted its first match.

Preparation and costs[edit]

Budget[edit]

At an estimated cost of over $14.2 billion as of June 2018,^[3] it was the most expensive World Cup in history, surpassing the cost of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.^[80]

The Russian government had originally earmarked a budget of around $20 billion^[81] which was later slashed to $10 billion for the preparations of the World Cup, of which half is spent on transport infrastructure.^[82] As part of the program for preparation to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, a federal sub-program 'Construction and Renovation of Transport Infrastructure' was implemented with a total budget of 352.5 billion rubles, with 170.3 billion coming from the federal budget, 35.1 billion from regional budgets, and 147.1 billion from investors.^[83] The biggest item of federal spending was the aviation infrastructure (117.8 billion rubles).^[84] Construction of new hotels was a crucial area of infrastructure development in the World Cup host cities. Costs continued to balloon as preparations were underway.^[80]

Infrastructure spending[edit]

Platov International Airport in Rostov-on-Don was upgraded with automated air traffic control systems, modern surveillance, navigation, communication, control, and meteorological support systems.^[85]Koltsovo Airport in Yekaterinburg was upgraded with radio-engineering tools for flight operation and received its second runway strip. Saransk Airport received a new navigation system; the city also got two new hotels, Mercure Saransk Centre (Accor Hotels) and Four Points by Sheraton Saransk (Starwood Hotels) as well as few other smaller accommodation facilities.^[86] In Samara, new tram lines were laid.^[87]Khrabrovo Airport in Kaliningrad was upgraded with radio navigation and weather equipment.^[88] Renovation and upgrade of radio-engineering tools for flight operation was completed in the airports of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Volgograd, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Sochi.^[85] On 27 March, the Ministry of Construction Industry, Housing and Utilities Sector of Russia reported that all communications within its area of responsibility have been commissioned. The last facility commissioned was a waste treatment station in Volgograd. In Yekaterinburg, where four matches are hosted, hosting costs increased to over 7.4 billion rubles, over-running the 5.6 billion rubles originally allocated from the state and regional budget.^[89]

Volunteers[edit]

Volunteer applications to the Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee opened on 1 June 2016. The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Volunteer Program received about 177,000 applications,^[90] and engaged a total of 35,000 volunteers.^[91] They received training at 15 Volunteer Centres of the Local Organising Committee based in 15 universities, and in Volunteer Centres in the host cities. Preference, especially in the key areas, was given to those with knowledge of foreign languages and volunteering experience, but not necessarily to Russian nationals.^[92]

Transport[edit]

Free public transport services were offered for ticketholders during the World Cup, including additional trains linking between host cities, as well as services such as bus service within them.^[93][94][95]

Schedule[edit]

The full schedule was announced by FIFA on 24 July 2015 (without kick-off times, which were confirmed later).^[96][97] On 1 December 2017, following the final draw, six kick-off times were adjusted by FIFA.^[98]

Russia was placed in position A1 in the group stage and played in the opening match at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on 14 June against Saudi Arabia, the two lowest-ranked teams of the tournament at the time of the final draw.^[99] The Luzhniki Stadium also hosted the second semi-final on 11 July and the final on 15 July. The Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg hosted the first semi-final on 10 July and the third place play-off on 14 July.^[100][21]

Opening ceremony[edit]

The opening ceremony took place on Thursday, 14 June 2018, at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, preceding the opening match of the tournament between hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia.^[101][102]

At the start of the ceremony, Russian president Vladimir Putin gave a speech, welcoming the countries of the world to Russia and calling football a uniting force.^[103] Brazilian World Cup-winning striker Ronaldo entered the stadium with a child in a Russia shirt.^[103] Pop singer Robbie Williams then sang two of his songs solo before he and Russian soprano Aida Garifullina performed a duet.^[103] Dancers dressed in the flags of the 32 competing teams appeared carrying a sign with the name of each nation.^[103] At the end of the ceremony Ronaldo reappeared with the official match ball which had returned from the International Space Station in early June.^[103]

Group stage[edit]

Competing countries were divided into eight groups of four teams (groups A to H). Teams in each group played one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the knockout stage. Ten European teams and four South American teams progressed to the knockout stage, together with Japan and Mexico.

For the first time since 1938, Germany (the reigning champions) did not advance past the first round. For the first time since 1982, no African team progressed to the second round. For the first time, the fair play criteria came into use, when Japan qualified over Senegal due to having received fewer yellow cards. Only one match, France v Denmark, was goalless. Until then there were a record 36 straight games in which at least one goal was scored.^[104]

All times listed below are local time.^[98]

Tiebreakers[edit]

The ranking of teams in the group stage was determined as follows:^[35][105]

1. Points obtained in all group matches;
2. Goal difference in all group matches;
3. Number of goals scored in all group matches;
4. Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
5. Goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
6. Number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
7. Fair play points in all group matches (only one deduction could be applied to a player in a single match):
   • Yellow card: –1 points;
   • Indirect red card (second yellow card): –3 points;
   • Direct red card: –4 points;
   • Yellow card and direct red card: –5 points;
8. Drawing of lots.

Discipline[edit]

In total, only four players were sent off in the entire tournament, the fewest since 1978.^[172]International Football Association Board technical director David Elleray stated a belief that this was due to the introduction of VAR, since players would know that they would not be able to get away with anything under the new system.^[173]

A player is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offences:^[35]

• Receiving a red card (red card suspensions may be extended for serious offences)
• Receiving two yellow cards in two matches; yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarter-finals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)

The following suspensions were served during the tournament:

Awards[edit]

The following awards were given at the conclusion of the tournament. The Golden Boot (top scorer), Golden Ball (best overall player) and Golden Glove (best goalkeeper) awards were all sponsored by Adidas.^[174]

Additionally, FIFA.com shortlisted 18 goals for users to vote on as the tournaments' best.^[175] The poll closed on 23 July. The award was sponsored by Hyundai.^[176]

Dream Team[edit]

As was the case during the 2010 and 2014 editions, FIFA did not release an official All-Star Team, but instead invited users of FIFA.com to elect their Fan Dream Team.^[177][178]

FIFA also published an alternate team of the tournament based on player performances evaluated through statistical data.^[179]

Prize money[edit]

Prize money amounts were announced in October 2017.^[180]

Marketing[edit]

Branding[edit]

The tournament logo was unveiled on 28 October 2014 by cosmonauts at the International Space Station and then projected onto Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre during an evening television programme. Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said that the logo was inspired by 'Russia's rich artistic tradition and its history of bold achievement and innovation', and FIFA President Sepp Blatter stated that it reflected the 'heart and soul' of the country.^[181] For the branding, Portuguese design agency Brandia Central created materials in 2014, with a typeface called Dusha (from душа, Russian for soul) designed by Brandia Central and edited by Adotbelow of DSType Foundry in Portugal.^[182]

Mascot[edit]

The official mascot for the tournament was unveiled 21 October 2016, and selected through a design competition among university students. A public vote was used to select from three finalists—a cat, a tiger, and a wolf. The winner, with 53% of approximately 1 million votes, was Zabivaka—an anthropomorphic wolf dressed in the colours of the Russian national team. Zabivaka's name is a portmanteau of the Russian words забияка ('hothead') and забивать ('to score'), and his official backstory states that he is an aspiring football player who is 'charming, confident and social'.^[183]

Ticketing[edit]

The first phase of ticket sales started on 14 September 2017, 12:00 Moscow Time, and lasted until 12 October 2017.^[184]

The general visa policy of Russia did not apply to participants and spectators, who were able to visit Russia without a visa right before and during the competition regardless of their citizenship.^[185] Spectators were nonetheless required to register for a 'Fan-ID', a special photo identification pass. A Fan-ID was required to enter the country visa-free, while a ticket, Fan-ID and a valid passport were required to enter stadiums for matches. Fan-IDs also granted World Cup attendees free access to public transport services, including buses, and train service between host cities. Fan-ID was administered by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, who could revoke these accreditations at any time to 'ensure the defence capability or security of the state or public order'.^[93][94][95]

Match ball[edit]

The official match ball, the 'Telstar 18', was unveiled 9 November 2017. It is based on the name and design of the first Adidas World Cup ball from 1970.^[186] A special red-coloured variation, 'Telstar Mechta', was used for the knockout stage of the tournament. The word mechta (Russian: мечта) means dream or ambition.^[187]

Goalkeepers noted that the ball was slippery and prone to having unpredictable trajectory.^[188][189] In addition, two Telstar 18 balls popped in the midst of a first-round match between France and Australia, leading to further discussions over the ball's performance.^[190][191]

Merchandise[edit]

On 29 May 2018, Electronic Arts released a free update to FIFA 18 that added content related to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The expansion included a World Cup tournament mode with all teams and stadiums from the event, official television presentation elements, and World Cup-related content for the Ultimate Team mode.^[192][193]

Panini continued their partnership with FIFA by producing stickers for their World Cup sticker album.^[194] Panini also developed an app for the 2018 World Cup where fans could collect and swap virtual stickers, with five million fans gathering digital stickers for the tournament.^[195][196]

Official song[edit]

The official song of the tournament was 'Live It Up', with vocals from Will Smith, Nicky Jam and Era Istrefi, released on 25 May 2018. Its music video was released on 8 June 2018.^[197]

Controversies[edit]

Thirty-three footballers who are alleged to be part of the steroid program are listed in the McLaren Report.^[198] On 22 December 2017, it was reported that FIFA fired a doctor who had been investigating doping in Russian football.^[199] On 22 May 2018 FIFA confirmed that the investigations concerning all Russian players named for the provisional squad of the FIFA World Cup in Russia had been completed, with the result that insufficient evidence was found to assert an anti-doping rule violation.^[200] FIFA's medical committee also decided that Russian personnel would not be involved in performing drug testing procedures at the tournament; the action was taken to reassure teams that the samples would remain untampered.^[201]

Host selection[edit]

The choice of Russia as host has been challenged. Controversial issues have included the level of racism in Russian football,^{[202][203][204]} and discrimination against LGBT people in wider Russian society.^[205][206] Russia's involvement in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has also caused calls for the tournament to be moved, particularly following the annexation of Crimea.^[207][208] In 2014, FIFA President Sepp Blatter stated that 'the World Cup has been given and voted to Russia and we are going forward with our work'.^[209]

Allegations of corruption in the bidding processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups caused threats from England's FA to boycott the tournament.^[210] FIFA appointed Michael J. Garcia, a US attorney, to investigate and produce a report on the corruption allegations. Although the report was never published, FIFA released a 42-page summary of its findings as determined by German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert. Eckert's summary cleared Russia and Qatar of any wrongdoing, but was denounced by critics as a whitewash.^[211] Garcia criticised the summary as being 'materially incomplete' with 'erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions', and appealed to FIFA's Appeal Committee.^[212][213] The committee declined to hear his appeal, so Garcia resigned in protest of FIFA's conduct, citing a 'lack of leadership' and lack of confidence in the independence of Eckert.^[214]

On 3 June 2015, the FBI confirmed that the federal authorities were investigating the bidding and awarding processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.^[215][216] In an interview published on 7 June 2015, Domenico Scala, the head of FIFA's Audit And Compliance Committee, stated that 'should there be evidence that the awards to Qatar and Russia came only because of bought votes, then the awards could be cancelled'.^[217][218]Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and former British Prime Minister David Cameron attended a meeting with FIFA vice-president Chung Mong-joon in which a vote-trading deal for the right to host the 2018 World Cup in England was discussed.^[219][220]

Response to Skripal poisoning[edit]

In response to the March 2018 poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that no British ministers or members of the royal family would attend the World Cup, and issued a warning to any travelling England fans.^[221] Iceland diplomatically boycotted the World Cup.^[222] Russia responded to the comments from the UK Parliament claiming that 'the west are trying to deny Russia the World Cup'.^[223] The Russian Foreign Ministry denounced Boris Johnson's statements that compared the event to the 1936 Olympics held in Nazi Germany as 'poisoned with venom of hate, unprofessionalism and boorishness' and 'unacceptable and unworthy' parallel towards Russia, a 'nation that lost millions of lives in fighting Nazism'.^[224]

The British Foreign Office and MPs had repeatedly warned English football fans and 'people of Asian or Afro-Caribbean descent' travelling to Russia of 'racist or homophobic intimidation, hooligan violence and anti-British hostility'.^[225][226] English football fans who have travelled have said they have received a warm welcome from ordinary citizens after arriving in Russia.^[227][228]

Critical reception[edit]

At the close of the World Cup Russia was widely praised for its success in hosting the tournament, with Steve Rosenberg of the BBC deeming it 'a resounding public relations success' for Putin, adding, 'The stunning new stadiums, free train travel to venues and the absence of crowd violence has impressed visiting supporters. Russia has come across as friendly and hospitable: a stark contrast with the country's authoritarian image. All the foreign fans I have spoken to are pleasantly surprised.'^[229]

FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated, 'Everyone discovered a beautiful country, a welcoming country, that is keen to show the world that everything that has been said before might not be true. A lot of preconceived ideas have been changed because people have seen the true nature of Russia.'^[230] Infantino has proclaimed Russia 2018 to be 'the best World Cup ever', as 98% of the stadiums were sold out, there were three billion viewers on TV all around the world and 7 million fans visited the fan fests.^[231]

However, the tournament was called a distraction from the international isolation and economic difficulties Russia has been facing.^[232][233]

Broadcasting rights[edit]

FIFA, through several companies, sold the broadcasting rights for the 2018 FIFA World Cup to various local broadcasters. After having tested the technology at limited matches of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup,^[234] and the 2014 FIFA World Cup (via private tests and public viewings in the host city of Rio de Janeiro),^[235] the 2018 World Cup was the first World Cup in which all matches were produced in 4Kultra high definition. Host Broadcast Services (HBS) stated that at least 75% of the broadcast cut on each match would come from 4K cameras (covering the majority of main angles), with instant replays and some camera angles being upconverted from 1080p high definition sources with limited degradation in quality. These broadcasts were made available from selected rightsholders and television providers.^{[236][237][238]}

In February 2018, Ukrainian rightsholder UA:PBC stated that it would not broadcast the World Cup. This came in the wake of growing boycotts of the tournament among the Football Federation of Ukraine and sports minister Ihor Zhdanov.^[239][240] Additionally, the Football Federation of Ukraine refused to accredit journalists for the World Cup and waived their quota of tickets.^[241] However, the Ukrainian state TV still broadcast the World Cup, and more than 4 million Ukrainians watched the opening match.^[242]

Broadcast rights to the tournament in the Middle East were hampered by an ongoing diplomatic crisis in Qatar, which saw Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates cut diplomatic ties with Qatar—the home country of FIFA's Middle East and Africa rightsholder beIN Sports—in June 2017, over its alleged state support of terrorist groups. On 2 June 2018, beIN pulled its channels from Du and Etisalat, but with service to the latter restored later that day. Etisalat subsequently announced that it would air the World Cup in the UAE, and continue to offer beIN normally and without interruptions.^{[243][244][245]} In Saudi Arabia, beIN was banned from doing business; as a result, its channels and other content have been widely and illegally repackaged by a broadcaster identifying itself as 'beoutQ'. While FIFA attempted to indirectly negotiate the sale of a package consisting of Saudi matches and the final, they were unable to do so. On 12 July 2018, FIFA stated that it had 'engaged counsel to take legal action in Saudi Arabia and is working alongside other sports rights owners that have also been affected to protect its interests.'^[246][247]

In the United States, the 2018 World Cup was the first men's World Cup whose English rights were held by Fox Sports, and Spanish rights held by Telemundo. The elimination of the United States in qualifying led to concerns that US interest and viewership of this World Cup would be reduced, noting that 'casual' viewers of U.S. matches caused them to peak at 16.5 million viewers in 2014, and how much Fox paid for the rights. During a launch event prior to the elimination, Fox stated that it had planned to place a secondary focus on the Mexican team in its coverage to take advantage of their popularity among Hispanic and Latino Americans. Fox stated that it was still committed to broadcasting a significant amount of coverage for the tournament.^{[248][249][250]} Viewership was down overall over 2014, additionally citing match scheduling that was not as favourable to viewers in the Americas than 2014 (with many matches airing in the morning hours, although Telemundo's broadcast of the Mexico-Sweden Group F match was announced as being its most-watched weekday daytime program in network history).^[251][252]

Unlike previous tournaments, where the rights were bundled with those of South Korea, Korean Central Television acquired rights to the 2018 World Cup within North Korea. Broadcasts only began with the round of 16, and matches were tape delayed and edited for time. In addition, matches involving Japan were excluded from the broadcasts, due to strained relations and campaigns against the country.^[253]
