Line 170:
* In ''[[Theodore Tugboat]]'', some of the docks are characters who only ever say a certain phrase - like "Uh-huh," or "Nope," which often leads to the character facing a moral dilemma in the story extracting [[Hidden Depths|profound wisdom]].
* Ms. Mimi in one episode of ''[[Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps]]'' communicates with the titular character and her friends through writing notes, head shakes, and music - all because she has laryngitis. Early in the episode, a yogurt-selling mouse greets Angelina and Vici by using a bell in his cart and waving his hand on them.
* Enforced (and overlapping with [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]) in ''[[Animaniacs (2020 TV series)|the ''Animaniacs]]'' reboot]]. The Warner siblings visit a museum with a display of performance art: the artist is basically sitting motionless, doing nothing and saying nothing, while the curator encourages patrons to talk to her. Unfortunately, the three don’t understand why this is considered art, which [[Cloudcuckoolander|eventually trails off into a tangent of other things they don’t]] get (like why Hawaii has interstate highways or what the best thing was before sliced bread); this gets so annoying that she eventually breaks her silence and starts ranting because she realizes that [[The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right|''she'' doesn’t truly “get” it either]].
