So crumple up that screenplay you're working on, awesome 8-year-olds. Jackie Chan already made it.

It is safe to say that I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons for a minimum of 20 years, possibly longer, maybe closer to 30 years. I'm gonna say something I have never said. I have gone against the giants, I've been killed in the Tomb of Horrors, I have visited the Temple of Elemental Evil, and of course, there is not a single square in the Cave of Chaos that I have not crawled through.

Phineas and Ferb's crazy plans and those of Dr. Doofenshmirtz can easily lead to this:
: Oh, Vanessa, thank goodness you're here! A platypus has tied me up in my own pants! : How did my life get to a point where that is not a strange sentence to me?
In fact, the
"Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!" has an entire montage devoted to odd sentences that have showed up at some point, prompted in turn by the line "Super-suit-generated egg renderings always make me a bit peckish":
"Nothing says 'mother's love' like a gigantic robotic platypus butt." "Why am I wearing a turtle on my head?" "I wanna float around! ...like men." "Am I sweating milk?!" "Gotta go, Stacy. Good luck with that llama legislation!" "Run for your lives! It's Gnome-a-geddon!" "Stickiness is the most underrated of all the -nesses". "" "It looks a little like a rhesus monkey wearing a powdered wig." "Oh no, you did not just tell me to hench." "What, you think we should have more Bulgarian folk-related elements?" "I'll be in the dairy section if you want to come yell at some cheese." "Dad, you might want to wipe the Queen off your face." "I too feel a certain element of kebab-ism." "Definitely the giant floating baby head." "I am to metaphor-cheese as metaphor-cheese is to transitive-verb crackers." "I just discovered why cows and frogs don't date." "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Taffeta... make a note of that."
"I'm calling Mom... and I am not using the banana this time!"

How about this one, from "The Temple of Juatchadoon"?
Phineas: We've got to lead that corn colossus away from those back up singers!

&&&&Real Life&
Noam Chomsky's sentence "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" — the point was that it had never been written/spoken before and makes no sense, but is still grammatical and therefore comprehensible. This one has been repeated enough that it no longer counts. Linguistics books usually use
to make this same point. (These are usually known a .)
is borrowed from medicine. Patients with a receptive aphasia or some other neurological disorders are often unable to comprehend language of any kind. They can neither understand nor control the words coming out of their own mouths, and will frequently produce , clanging (repetition of words with similar sounds), or other nonsensical speech patterns. So a patient with Wernicke's Aphasia (the most common type of receptive aphasia) is making plenty of rare sentences - and other vocalizations.
Another linguist's favorite is a . Such a sentence has unusual grammar. The more "natural" interpretation as you process it causes it to seem incorrect until you figure out the correct parsing. For example, "The aged man the boat." It sounds ungrammatical until you realize aged is not an adjective modifying man, but the noun. Man is a verb, as in, "Who mans the boat?" "The aged." Garden path sentences are ugly and generally avoided. The horse raced past the barn fell. "Which horse fell?" "The one which was raced past the barn."
"": Which can be extended into... Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo. "Bison from Buffalo bullied by bison from Buffalo bully bison from Buffalo that bison from Buffalo bully." A photograph in that article is captioned "Bison engaged in a contest of dominance. This sentence supposes they have a history of such bullying with other buffalo, and they are from upstate New York." Which surely cannot have been uttered many times before.
The Dutch language allows for some fun sentences of this type as well, including "Als mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen." (when moles of moles whack moles of moles moles of moles whack moles of moles), "Als graven graven graven graven graven graven graven graven graven graven." (when count graves dig count graves count graves dig count graves) and "Als in Bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen te Bergen." (when in Bergen mountains of mountains recover mountains of mountains mountains of mountains recover mountains of mountains in Bergen).
Although to be fair the buffalo sentence can also be stretched to ten words by adding a single when in front of it, just as these sentences would be only five words long if they'd be just one word repeated without any other words in the sentence: "Mollen mollen mollen mollen mollen.". One thing the Dutch sentences can do the English can't is be converted to a question by adding a single question mark: "Graven graven graven graven graven?" The word order has changed, but there's no way to tell other than the question mark.
post glories in the fact that our linguistic faculties allow us to instantly understand such rare sentences as these, using as its example a sentence it calls out from a real news report: "Last week a former Royal Marine who is the boyfriend of the model Kelly Brooks crashed into a bus stop while driving a van carrying a load of dead badgers."
