So this has bothered me since I was a teenager.
In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda talked like this: "Put the cart before the horse, I have." And he mostly did it while he was pretending to be a dingus early on to test Luke's patience. Some actual movie quotes: "I cannot teach him. The boy has not patience." "No. Do, or do not. There is no try." "Judge me by my size, do you?"
In the prequel trilogy, it's like Lucas bought into the meme that Yoda talks funny, so all of a sudden Yoda talks like this "Before the horse, the cart, I have put." "Around the survivors, a perimeter, create!"
Anyway.
Yeah, Yoda became a parody of his character in ESB.
In ESB he comes across as someone that's speaking in a second language. Sometimes he mixes up the grammar, especially when emotional and trying to speak quickly, but when he's more relaxed and speaking slowly (or saying something simple) he usually gets it right.
In other portrayals it feels more like he's got brain damage.
