Game and Story Use

  • Obviously, a primitive character might express himself in Hulk Speak.
  • It is a traditional, if cliched, means of characterizing a Big, Dumb Bruiser.
  • Although this speech pattern can also be used to depict a very small child who is still developing his speech skills.
  • A big, strong guy who is actually quite intelligent might affect Hulk Speak in order to play to people's expectations.
  • The cRPG Arcanum included a sort of 'hulk speak' option if the PC chose his background as being a construct - you could be as smart as you liked, but a damaged voice-brain connection always gave you the "stupid" dialogue choices. This could be an amusing option for characterisation.
  • You could also use hulk-speak for a foreigner or alien who has translation problems - although this tends more towards "you no take candle".
