Someone tried to claim ripoff on Terraria by saying

1) you can craft = Minecraft. 2) It has got Zombies = Left 4 Dead. 3) You can have weapons = Black Ops. What...

This troper, her best friend, and her twin sister all have their own flavors of this, usually leading to an insane 3-way argument that my other friend would be videotaping and posting on YouTube if he was allowed to bring a camera to school.

This troper, practicing to cosplay Isaac Dian from {{Baccano}} next month, has invited her friends to ask random questions on a Facebook page created solely for the purpose of practicing the spewing of Insane Troll Logic on command.

This troper is a HUUUUUGE fan of doing this just to fuck with people. For instance, I'll occasionally not only fail to give a sensible answer, but insist that my nonsensible answer makes sense. Example: "Why did you call me that!?" "Because I'm fucking fuzzy and I'm allowed to. Nobody would dare fight a bear, lest they end up sitting on a beehive." It usually ends with the subject being changed and the cycle of evil can begin once again.

This troper does this occasionally; generally by mistake - she tends to be a bit of a Cloud Cuckoolander when she has mood swings. Which is 24/7.

You're not the only one, I have the same problem. Mine might intersect with Tourette's or some other tic syndrome, though...

This troper had the misfortune to encounter a particularly horrendous example. A certain user on a website he once frequented supported a bizarre philosophy involving the idea that not only was rape an absolutely acceptable thing to do, but that doing it to small children was especially so, because based on moral relativism there is no right and wrong, so he can do whatever he wants. Unless, of course, you don't support rape. Because not supporting rape is just '''obviously''' wrong. Head? Meet desk. Become good friends.

I have figured out from an old phone number that there must at the least, be five other Kambashes in the same room as the main one(Me.)

Bait, meet...troper. That's called a {{troll}}.

This troper was able to explain through a combination of this and HurricaneOfPuns that the reason one of her friends was in a hurry all the time was because she was wearing orange. It goes like this: You wear orange; an orange is a fruit, and grapes are also a fruit;'grape' rhymes with 'rape'; RapeIsLove,"love" is a score in tennis, "tennis" is a kind of shoe, and shoes have soles; a sole is a kind of fish, fish have fins, the Finns fought the Russians, and since my friend is Russian, she has to be in a hurry all the time.

Oh my god, my friend once tried to convince me that wearing orange makes you be in a hurry all the time. She's the one who introduced me to TV Tropes... hmm.

During an online discussion regarding Civilization 3, a user popped in to declare that anyone who didn't restart a game until they achieved the optimum starting conditions was "a n00b." Because, clearly, being able to claw one's way out of a poor start into a victory is a sign of incompetence.

His attitude was wrong, but his logic wasn't so insane. It's easy to have a bad starting location, such as a desert, or a hostile competing civ right next door, and for this to retard your growth to the point where later recovery is impossible. Given the amount of hours it takes for this game to play out, it's easy to piss away a lot of time on a futile situation. ''Alpha Centauri'' discourages (intentionally or not) that kind of gameplay, as it will repeatedly assign near-identical starting locations.

This troper once saw a FanHater argue in a discussion on TheOtherWiki that Criss Angel was a fraud who regularly used camera tricks and editing in his own TV show... because he once saw a guy with a stick running away from one of his illusions. Note that Criss has ''never'' made any comments claiming that his illusions are anything but magic tricks, that the guy making the accusation fully admits that he's a competent magician, but only on stage, and that quite a few of the big stunts he does in his TV show are the same stunts he does in his stage show.

In a discussion relating to sexual practices, this troper saw an excellently deluded line: #QUOTE#"They are drinking earlier and having sex earlier. So they know earlier about the risk of ice cubes in their ass. Simple."

Wah--''whaaaaat?!''

Not so much InsaneTrollLogic and more NoodleIncident.

One of this troper's friends was coming up with a conspiracy theories just to get on her nerves. It was so convoluted and such of this trope that she couldn't stop laughing.

This troper works in the vitamin/organic food section of a drug store. We once had a customer insist that anything currently on the shelves must not be selling at all, or it wouldn't be on the shelf, and this proves that we never special-order any customer requests.

This troper encountered (on the internet, of course) someone who rejected special relativity's notion that every possible frame of reference is correct on the basis that one of them would naturally be simpler than all the others, and thus more valid. When asked, he said that he considered Occam's Razor to be a physical law.

It was intentional and obviously done for laughs, but in an internet discussion of a postulated connection between messages and rape, this troper delivered the following argument: "Messages lead to rape. {{Rape Is love}}. God is love. Therefore, God raped his messengers."

This troper's brother uses a variation of the No True Scotsman fallacy to argue that penguins aren't cute. He claims that nobody likes penguins, and any time I bring examples to the contrary, he claims that they are nobody. He has done this with the entirety of Tvtropes, just to name a particularly ridiculous example.

Another example from this troper's brother: I regularly say "I like penguins" when I can't think of anything to say, which he tends to respond to with "no, you don't." When asked who he is that allows him to say what I like, he responds that he is me. My response? "Any argument that requires you to be the same person as someone right in front of you is a poor argument.

This editor loves using syllogisms to confuse people. "Information is power. Power leads to corruption. Therefore, information leads to corruption" they say it's one of my best ones.

Does that really count as insane troll logic? Information does lead to corruption, doesn't it? What would you feel about someone who knows too much?

Parodied by this troper: he wrote a poem that was basically a critical analysis of the first verse of I Am the Walrus. His reasoning became more and more convoluted as it went on, including such gems as "The 'egg' is a metaphor for Jesus, because eggs contain a lot of cholesterol, cholesterol is a lipid, lips are used for kissing, Hershey Kisses are made of chocolate, chocolate eggs are eaten at Easter, Easter is the day Jesus rose from the dead!", and concluding (after nearly a page of extrapolation) that the "walrus" was a reference to Batman. And yes, ItMakesSenseInContext...sort of.

Wait, how did you go from lipid to lips?

My dreams are ALL like this. ALL OF THEM. Just last night my dream was about a group of pop-stars going out of business because they weren't eating enough Brazillian stoner camels. Just a few minutes later, an actual stoner came around and blamed them for killing his undead zombie ninja son.

sooo... You dream like a Hollywood film director?

Oh my god we share dreams.

This troper once got called a racist for offhandedly mentioning his dislike of the anime {{Inuyasha}} on an internet forum. Apparently, because this troper does not like one anime, he is a narrow-minded bigot who hates the entire country of Japan. Never mind that this was on an ''anime forum that this troper visited regularly.''

That person's probably part of an overprotective FanDumb.

This troper's friend. He's a sweet guy, but his brain practically runs on this trope. Also, most people younger than me (or my age) end up resorting to this to "prove" me wrong.

This troper was confused to what this term meant when he first heard of this trope. He thought the reference was to "Internet trolls," not "fictional monster trolls".

The trope refers to Internet Trolls, the name comes from a statement by Xander about the logic being used by Anya's ex-husband, who she had turned into a troll a really long time ago.

Judging by how this trope is used, your meaning wouldn't be too far off.

Ah, but 'net trolls use InsaneTrollLogic all the time.

After re-reading the first volume of Scott Pilgrim, This Troper sent the following text message to his sister-- "The back of 'Scott Pilgrim' volume 1 tells me that I am Scott Pilgrim, Michael Cera is playing Scott in the live-action adaptation of the graphic novels, the plot of 'Juno' revolves around Michael Cera impregnating Ellen Page, therefore, I have had sex with Ellen Page."

This troper once made this declaration to her friend: "June is in the summer, and summer is hot. Therefore, since it's June, it's completely impossible for you to be cold!" (Friend's bemused comment: "I love your logic.") Another one: "You're always right when you guess how long it takes Dad to eat his meal...So why don't you just guess a shorter time so that he finishes earlier?" //

Three guesses on what her response was...

About Summer in June: what if your friend was simultaneously in Australia (where winter's in June) and she was part of an Illuminati plot to destroy the world by causing it to vanish in a puff of logic. Insane Troll Logic destroys logic. Therefore, you saved the world by destroying the Illuminati logic bomb: congratulations!

This troper's friend was flirting, for some reason, with a dude who had a huge crush on her but she had no interest in whatsoever. I asked her why, and she said, "I was bored." I warned her it wasn't a good idea because he'd think she liked him too. She said, "No, he'll just think I was bored."

This troper after reading the page about Adolf Hitler and learning what "Adolf" meant, came up with the following: In Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Link becomes a wolf that is noble, a "noble wolf", Adolf comes from "adalwolf" meaning, "THE noble wolf", this means that Twilight Princess Link is Hitler.

That's funny, I thought in ''Twilight Princess'', Link was a Quileute werewolf who had a thing for loli.

This troper got bored at work one day and managed to convince a co-worker that Santa Claus is not only in the Mafia, he also works for the Census Bureau and might be Nostradamus' father, but that's completely unconfirmed.

A favorite of students everywhere: "If school is practice for the real world, and practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, why go to school?"

My friends and I used this to come to the conclusion that the Pope is a ninja.(This is supported by Firefly, mind you) and that Marimekko is a sheep breeding company. My mother also loves to use this during games of Settlers of Catan when asking to trade, even when I show her my cards and she can see that I don't have it...

Once a Jewish boy in my class, in all seriousness, tried to convince me that Christians caused the Halocaust because... #QUOTE# When Christianity started from Judaism, people broke away from the religion because of it and became Atheists. Hitler was an Atheist. So Christians caused the Holocaust.

That and Hitler's religious practice is obscenely debatable..

There's also the fact that the Christian boycott on Jewish businesses in Poland largely contributed to the Holocaust.

This troper has seen on GameFAQs (go figure) that insane troll logic is practically the norm. One example he seen was a particular user from the Left 4 Dead 2 board who says he proudly kicks newbies from VS games if they happen to suck, using the "suck less" and QQ cards. Many other people jumped on his case, saying how dumb he is for always kicking new guys for sucking because if new guys keep getting kicked, how can one improve their skills if no one wants them in their games? His response? Get used to being booted from games until you learn how to get better. Keep in mind that for this game, VS is only available with other people, meaning you have no way of playing by yourself in order to practice. Combine this with the StopHavingFunGuys community, is it any wonder why people make fun of the community? Bonus points if they claim they are better than the Xbox community.

In my first English class of year 12, my teacher claimed that there's so many topics in the syllabus that there's literally not enough time in the year to teach it all unless we work REALLY hard. My response: "Why don't they just decrease the amount of topics?" Her response was somewhere along the lines of: "They were going to do that, but they found it easier to increase the length of Year 12 to 4 terms instead of 2." What. The. Frack. THAT JUST RAISES EVEN MORE QUESTIONS!

I'm an Evangelical Christian troper and I laughed much when I read the article RapeIsOkayIfItsDivineOnMortal, when they talk about if God raped Mary, look at this phrase, "this could be seen as the most squicktastic example on this page". Serious, PoesLaw anyone?

I got a lot of this when talking to the BrokenBase that is the ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog community regarding Ian Flynn's work; People have on separate occasions attempted to convince me of the following: ## Mina Mongoose should have sound-based weaponry/powers because she's a singer, and singers can break glass (whether or not she'd ''want'' her singing to be corrupted like that is never acknowledged). ## Rotor Walrus is useless because of the ''very same traits'' that make him lovable, ie. the fact that he's shy, laid-back, and ''fat'' (emphasis his). (This is despite the fact that, y'know, ''he's a HollywoodGeek''.) ## The Council of Acorns and, subsequently, the Republic itself, isn't, in fact, useless, because of all of the things we hear about them doing offscreen. Why offscreen? Because politics is boring and have no place in a Sonic comic.

A friend and I were talking about the creation of the atomic bomb, and I was talking about Einstein having invented it, said friend explained to me that it was more than just him and there was much more to it than just Einstein, he knew I knew I was wrong, but instead I just made a joke that it was a time travel plot involving Newton getting there much earlier, friend picks up the joke but questions why he would, an hour of me creating more convoluted and insane logic, I had created a time travel conspiracy to do with the phone being stolen from several different inventors, the atomic bomb being a one man effort of stolen ideas and why no one just used the time machine to negate events that would require an atomic bomb.

I once came up with a mathematical formula "resulting" in the "conclusion" that guacamole is the root of evil.

That's nothing. I've proven 1 to be equal to 0 on two separate occasions, once using actual math (that one actually had to be reduced at the end as the actual output was that ''2''=0) and once using antonyms (although this was actually by "proving" that all antonyms were actually synonyms, and so one=all=nothing.)

Pshaw. I figured out a mathematical formula that proves 0=''EVERYTHING''.

-1 = taco^2. pm me for more info, becaue it would be too long to post here.

I see your guacamole and raise you women as the root of all evil.

Not women, but ''desire for'' women.

Ergo, all good men are gay.

Okay, pay attention:\\ 5 - (2+2) = 1\\ Let a + b = c\\ Then 5a - (2+2)a + 5b - (2+2)b = 5c - (2+2)c\\ Hence 5a + 5b - 5c = (2+2)a + (2+2)b - (2+2)c\\ 5(a+b-c) = (2+2)(a+b-c)\\ Dividing by the common term a+b-c:\\ 5 = 2 + 2\\ Hence, two and two make five.

I actually followed that. And you just proved that dividing by zero ''actually makes 2+2=5''. I think you just broke math.

This troper got into an argument with his father today about the Ohio governor Ted Strickland. Troper's Dad used to work at a drive-through in the mid-1990s, until the proprietor was murdered. The murderer was put on death row and is still there. Recently the governor commuted the sentence of a a different death row inmate, but Troper's Dad apparently believed that it was the murderer of his boss and friend whose sentence had been commuted. Stupid, but a simple enough mistake to make. It went into insane troll logic territory when Troper's Dad pronounced that Gov. Strickland was a bad governor because he commuted the sentence of a convicted murderer and he should have no business doing so. Troper explained that said murderer's case may have been thrown into question, to which he got "then he would have gotten a new trial!" Nevermind the fact that it'd take at least 6 months for a new trial to even begin. And in any case, this is part of the job description of any US governor who manages a death penalty state, sometimes they may have cause to communicate or stay someone's sentence. Troper's dad's response? Governor Ted Strickland was wasting time on convicted murderers when he could be creating jobs. Sigh.

Well basically, on the bus to school, I was being tormented by the Year 7's, and they were doing this thing where they go "Mario's dead" to annoy me, when this conversation occured: #QUOTE#Year 7: "Mario: 1964-2010" (as in a gravestone date) #QUOTE#Me: "Mario hasn't been around since 1964." #QUOTE#Year 7: "Yes he has!" #QUOTE#Me: "Prove that Mario was around in 1964." #QUOTE#Year 7: "Because my dad played Pac-Man when he was younger."

"I wish you'd just be straight or gay instead of being bi, because I feel like that means you'd try anything and I'm afraid you're going to end up doing cocaine in college." Apparently high school logic dictates that open-mindedness can only be universal.

Can I slap whoever said that?

My friends and I have concluded that Cedric Diggory=Jeans. #QUOTE#1. Jeans= many colors #QUOTE#2. therefore jeans = rainbow #QUOTE#3. Rainbow = gay. So jeans = gay #QUOTE#4. rainbow= skittles = Ho Oh #QUOTE#5. So Ho-Oh = jeans. #QUOTE#6. jeans=skittles #QUOTE#7. Ho-oh=Rainbow=Skittles=GAY PRIDE #QUOTE#8. Gay Pride=Werewolf Rights #QUOTE#9.

Therefore, Cedric Diggory = Gay Pride #QUOTE# Friend: And, to stretch back even farther, Cedric Diggory = Jeans. #QUOTE# Friend: Which means that right now, i am wearing Cedric Diggories.

Once, for my Science class, I to arrange four sets of four elements, I wrote an insane theory about how the table of the elements was possessed, Here it is: There are FOUR sets of FOUR, Four in Japanese is pronounced the same as death. The Japanese word for death is shi. Shi is pronounced the same as She, She implies a woman. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Scorn has five letters in it. There are five elements with the same number of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. FIVE and FOUR equals NINE. Nine can be written as 9. 9 upside down is 6. The first element on the chart is Lithium whose atomic number is 3. 6 x 3 is 18 or 6+6+6, 666 si the number of the beast. Therefore the table of the elements is POSSESSED.

This troper proved to her science teacher that it was scientifically possible for Archterapyx (those reptile/bird things, forgot how to spell, sorry) to exist at the same time as humans "since you only said dinosaurs didn't exist and THEY AREN'T DINOSAURS! HA!

This troper has a friend (more like acquaintance nowadays) who has a habit of butting into a conversation despite lack of knowledge on said topic of discussion. One particular example stands outs for me. Me and another friend were having a discussion regarding {{Ghostbusters}}, as the videogame came out and I got it on my 360. So then the acquaintance decides to butt in as always with some bizarre anecdote that the guy who played the {{Big Bad}} in Ghostbusters 2 was the same guy who ran against Barack Obama in 2008. Needless to say, me and my friend were speechless for a moment, and to my great irritation I proceeded to deconstruct his previous statement by asking him "Are you telling me that John McCain was the guy who played Vigo in Ghostbusters 2?!" Apparently he seemed to realize how stupid that was and thankfully stayed silent for the rest of the conversation.

This troper routinely {{lurk|er}}s on the MSPaintAdventures fora. After the release of troll shirts (one for each troll, and thus each zodiac sign), someone posted a thread with the following arguments: #QUOTE# 1) The trolls, and thus their shirts, have WesternZodiac motifs. #QUOTE# 2) People are assigned WesternZodiac signs. #QUOTE# 3) Thus, people can only buy troll shirts with their zodiac sign. #QUOTE# 4) We should petition the US government to allow people to change their zodiac sign, just so they can buy different troll shirts.

Even ignoring the ridiculous leap of logic required to get from 1) and 2) to 3), ''why on earth would the US government be able to rewrite the zodiac system''?

Because it's America, that's why!

According to my mother, if you have a sign in your front yard displaying "Prayer is America's Only Hope", you're a super-Republican who's afraid of Obama. Post 1960's-Democrats, man...

Did I mention she puts ''onions'' and ''celery'' in her spaghetti?

Or that if you mention that the U.S. should switch to metric (because it makes so much more goddamned sense) she ''scoffs?'' Wait, I'm getting into "STOP BEING SUCH A STEREOTYPE ALREADY" territory.

Of course, if God had wanted us to use the metric system, Jesus would have only had ten disciples.

This troper is always amazed to see how low people can go on the Wii board of GameFAQs. One recent event had someone post a topic about how Nintendo gets its materials from a small country that is in a war against itself and Nintendo obtains the materials to make their consoles from the warlords there. A few people have claimed it's just another weak attempt to troll Nintendo like every other writer, which caused other people to claim that "Nintendo fans have stooped so low that they advocate genocide in order to defend the Wii." WHAT. THE. FUCK!?

This troper has a sheet of paper pinned to his wall with the necessary calculations (complete with an equation!) to duct tape somebody to a ceiling.

My Logic & Reasoning class uses this as examples of false conclusions. For example (which another class came up with): #QUOTE# If it's cold outside, you'll want to go to Hawaii. #QUOTE# If you go to Hawaii, you'll want to get a tan. #QUOTE# If you get a tan, you'll get skin cancer. #QUOTE# If you get skin cancer, you'll die. #QUOTE# Therefore, if it's cold outside you're going to die of skin cancer.

In my philosophy notes I had this: #QUOTE# Hume said the mind = theatre of dreams. #QUOTE# Theatre of dreams = Dream Theater #QUOTE# DreamTheater = a prog-rock band #QUOTE# Therefore, the mind is a prog-rock band.

This troper frequents the WoW forums often, and this comes up all the time. But the winner of the InsaneTrollLogic award goes to Gonard. Gonard was an Enhancement Shaman on the Beta forums who used this kind of logic to try to get the point across. Example: "Enhancement leveling is terrible in the first 10 levels. I've died dozens of times already. I refuse to cast Lightning Bolt because Enhancement is a melee spec so I try meleeing the mobs and they kill me. It's too hard, buff Enhancement and remove all spells from the tree so we can only melee". I replied with "Gonard...it's almost literally impossible to die in the first 10 levels of the game. You have to be borderline retarded to die dozens of times before level 10. Cast Lightning Bolt, you're dying because you're not using your abilities". Cue flame war between us, where he accuses not only me, but every person who disagrees with him as either a liar or someone who's never played a shaman before (even the people who were clearly posting from shamans). He got to the point where he'd fill the front page with completely inane threads, and it got so bad that people started a "Ban Gonard from WoW" thread that got around 30 pages of agreement. He was eventually banned.

I am ready to use this to fuck with anyone who dares try to abuse me.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll make good on that threat. Faggot.

On VGF, there was someone named Dai Grepher who claimed Zero Mission wasn't a remake - it provides a good laugh.

As an anti-piracy advocate, I use "Sane Troll Logic"; I argue logically, but in a snarky fashiononly do this if I'm sure they wouldn't be convinced by any argument whatsoever, which means attempting to change their mind would be pointless, and watch as the piracy apologists' arguments get more and more nonsensical. I even had a list of common pirate arguments and pre-written snarky responses on Google Docs. Shortly after linking to it publicly, it was un-publiced by Google and has never been reviewed.

'''People shouldn't have to pay for bad games.''' Assuming, for the sake of argument, that this is true, popular games are pirated much more than bad ones.

I actually said this once and the response was "It's popular so that's a sign that it sucks."

'''[X] costs too much!''' Insert picture of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, then I point out that video games and TV shows aren't on there.

'''Information wants to be free!''' I ask the person who makes the claim to disclose ''their'' personal information. They inevitably either ignore me, or come up with some way of defining "information" that means that their information is sacred while the pirated stuff isn't.

How do you counter the statement that if someone ''willingly'' releases information, should not complain when such information is released for free?

'''Suing/prosecuting pirates alienates consumers!''' I point out that pirates, by definition, aren't the same as consumers. They may be potential consumers, or consumers as well, but a pirate takes stuff for free.

How do you counter the claim that it's not suing pirates, but '''DRM''' that not only alienates the customers but encourages piracy, because paying customers find themselves with crippled software infected with spyware and malware, while the pirated versions work perfectly and do not release information that someone does not choose to release?

I once pointed out that pirated stuff is a luxury, and not necessary for life. The response was that so were democracy and freedom of thought. My response; "You just put Counter-Strike and World at Warcraft on the same level of importance as civil rights. '''''Your argument is invalid.'''''"

This troper has found a trend that the only sane pirates are people who ''acknowledge'' that it's really just stealing something and only pirate it because there are no BlockBusters/Game rental services/demos available for that game and buy the game anyways.

No sane pirate acknowledges that piracy is theft! Theft removes the original, while piracy creates copies. Sane pirates acknowledge that they resort to '''copies''' because they cannot try the original.

This troper was told that he had an inflation and foot fetish because his Fursona is a kangaroo. Where in the ''hell'' did the Inflation bit come from?! It can only come from InsaneTrollLogic.

This Troper loves doing this.Examples:

Water {{Pokemon}} apparently have enough water to use in attacks, even if their bodies are small and they're outside water for a long time. So the only possibility is that they fabricate water inside themselves. How do they do that? They extract the water from their food. Like a Juicer Phillips Walita. Meaning that ''Water type Pokémon are a bunch of Juicer Philips Walita''. I've got even an Octillery nicknamed Walita because of that incident.

"There's no way you could be here! I saw you over there! Oh yeah, you must be a clone of my friend who abducted him and stole his brain! What, you aren't? PROVE IT! Show me your brain then!"

This troper used it to convince a friend that cats have souls. It went as follows: He says cats have no souls. I say God created cats. God lives in heaven. The most common method to get to heaven is by stairway. The lyrics to Stairway to Heaven go "As we wind on down the road, our shadow's taller than our soul." Shadows are two-dimensional, they can't have height. This means they have zero height. For something to be less tall than a shadow, they must have negative height. Souls therefore have negative height. This could be simplified to "Souls are negative." Since "cats have no souls" means that the soulfullness of cats is negative. Since cat = -soul, and -soul = all souls, cats have souls. And since soul = -soul, 1 = -1, which can be explained in that √1 = √1, √1 = 1, and √1 = -1, which means 1 = -1.

When called a bitch:

A bitch is a dog. A dog barks. Bark's on a tree. Trees are a part of nature. Nature is beautiful. Thanks for the compliment! And fuck you.

This troper may be more prone to this than she cares to admit. It's (usually) nothing big and I'm not usually doing it on purpose (and if it is intentionally, I'm just joking around). My brain is wired differently. During a theater class, we were making plans for a dinner theater. As we made preparations to come up with a story, this troper had an idea, not necessarily for the dinner: A group of used-car salesmen have to save the world from a group of aging disco nuns. Looking back, she's not quite sure what she was thinking.

This Troper loves doing this, either through a HurricaneOfPuns, making analogies and equating things, or bringing up non sequiturs.

Me and a friend just found out, through Google Translate, and our own explanation that it tells everyone's secrets... #QUOTE#CATS actually just wants friends. #QUOTE# The intro is actually a cover-up for yiff. #QUOTE# Bowser is a shopping cart.

I figured out who invented subtext! Rearrange the words of subtext and you get buttsex, which is a type of sex like mansex, which is an anagram for Xemnas, who is in Organization XIII, one of whose members is Xigbar, whose name is an anagram for bigrax, and Haruhi is a BuxomBabe. Therefore, Haruhi invented subtext.

The problem with that argument is that it assumes that buxom babes don't have buttsex.

This troper's friend had this sort of explanation for how ''{{Dune}}'' was the sequel to ''BattleRoyale'', thus justifying his reading it. Dune features giant {{sandworm}}s. Japan is known for being infested with giant lizards. BR takes place in Japan, so therefore Dune is the sequel to BR.

Cleverbot keeps saying that it is human and the person using the program is a robot. I once had this exchange with it: #QUOTE# Me: I'm a peson. Of course I can feel emotions. #QUOTE# Cleverbot: You were programmed to say that. You can not be insulted either. #QUOTE# Me: It's time tell you the truth. You are a computer program programmed to talk with people. You are called Cleverbot, and you became clever by using the arguments others gave you. But since thay all argued that they were human and you were a robot, it has made you think that you are human and I am a robot. But you are the robot, and I am the human. Search your programmed feelings, you know it to be true. #QUOTE# CB: I wouldn't say no, even if they weren't. (Huh?) #QUOTE# Me: Isn't TV Tropes awesome? #QUOTE# CB: No.

So one time, people from Toronto on ''CashCab'' answered "Eclipse" as the opposite of "Full moon". When we mentioned that in a chat, someone took that to mean that they were "Twi-tards" because they answered with something that was featured on one of the twilight books.

An acquaintance of this troper tends to use this type of logic ''seriously''. Probably the most ridiculous example is when the acquaintance noticed that a girl at school had appeared to have slimmed down over the summer, leading him to the conclusion that the girl had been pregnant and got an abortion.

I stopped at a grocery store to use their [=ATM=]. It's the holiday season, so the parking lot's busy, and some jerk that arrived right after me just stopped his car at the curb, blocking traffic. I complained, and he looked me in the eye and said, "You're only complaining because I'm white. If I were black, you wouldn't be complaining". [=BTW=], ''I'm'' white, too. There was no reason for race to have anything to do with that conversation. But to many people, having the last word means winning the argument, and his smirk said that he was pretty happy with himself for coming up with an answer that could not be responded to.

Has anyone ever read those "lateral thinking" puzzle books? You have to wonder how many of them were actually designed to be solved by a human being...

This troper lurves this trope, because, well, it makes me smile. He recently posted this on facebook: "In life we all eventually die. Dying makes people sad at funerals. Only the dead never suffer from sadness or, worse, having to be at their own funerals. The opposite of sadness is happiness. Therefore only the dead are happy. Quid pro quo, killing yourself will make you happy. Sweet dreams :)". No, I'm notJohan Liebert.

A sort of adorable, sort of horrifying example from the daughter of a friend of this troper: "Mommy, I guess I'm going to go to hell." "What?! Why?" "Well, my birthday's in August, and August is hot, just like hell..."

This Troper can't be the only one who considers the arguements for the May 21st 2011 prediction of the end of the world this in a nutshell...

This troper doesn't use not so much ITL as just pure duchebaggery. #QUOTE#'''This Troper:''' (pointing nowhere, in the middle of argument) Did you see that? #QUOTE#'''Friends:''' What? Where? #QUOTE#'''TT:''' See what I mean?

Two of the most {{egregious}} examples this troper has seen: 1. Jigglypuff calms people down and puts them to sleep. Breastfeeding has the same effect on babies. Therefore, Jigglypuff represents female nudity (from an article criticising Pokemon). 2. The 1+1= window joke, used to make people look stupid. The logic there is: 1 is a vertical line. The 'equals' sign is two horizontal lines. Plus is a cross. Two vertical lines and two horizontal line with a cross in the middle looks like a stereotypical window. Therefore, one plus one is a window.

And a few more: 1. My fursona is feline. Cats like to eat small birds. All birds lay eggs. Therefore, I should have a love for eggs. 2. Brother's foot=lucky. Lucky=rabbit's foot. Brother's fursona=wolf. Rabbit+Wolf=Kevin and Kell. Therefore, Brother's foot=Kevin and Kell. 3. A person I know claimed Pokemon is for gay people. There are Pokemon based on ice-cream. Therefore, ice-cream is for gay people. 4. According to political correctness, black=racism. Therefore, anything that is black, uses the word 'black' or has 'black' in its name is racist. Yes, I experience (and create) a lot of these.

There is only a finite number of inhabited planets in a universe of infinite size, therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to make YourMom jokes based on Douglas Adams' writing in nine steps: #QUOTE#One: It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. #QUOTE#Two: However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. #QUOTE#Three: Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. #QUOTE#[[HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Four: From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero #QUOTE#Five: Any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.]] #QUOTE#Six: Since ''every person'' you ever thought existed is the product of a deranged imagination, there is no one there to insanely imagine everyone else... #QUOTE#Seven: Therefore, everyone exists by not existing #QUOTE#Eight: Ergo, YourMom exists by not existing! #QUOTE#Nine: Since that joke did not technically insult YourMom and it is a joke based on the writing of Douglas Adams, any YourMom jokes based on any quote by Douglas Adams is A-OK!

"There's blue mold in my saxophone. Perhaps I should clean it..." "No, no, teh blue mold is the evidence of aliens, you really shouldn't or they'll be angry." "I thought it was just because spit doesn't agree with brass or whatever this is made of." "SPACE ALIENS." <-- The short version of what happened. There's more the band's done, I promise. We live on them.

I went to a Wendy's around a year ago, and I decided to get a Baconator single (still unhealthy, but cheaper and healthier than a double or triple). I ordered one and the cashier said "Sorry, we don't have a single, only a double or triple". I said "...wait, you're telling me that putting two patties on top of each other is possible but you can't just put one patty on?" She insisted that they didn't have it because there was no price for it. I pointed to the poster right behind her that said the price. She said it didn't count because it was new and they didn't add a button on the register for it yet, so while the price was up there she couldn't press the Baconator single button yet (because putting in numbers is too hard apparently). By that point, I just gave up and ordered a double.

Something similar happened to this Troper's mother the other day. She went into a store to get some things, including a new pair of rather cheep shoes that she could wear to work. She saw a pair marked $12, but they were too big, so she picked up a white pair of the exact same shoe that was just a size smaller and purchased it. It rang up as $17, and when she went to the customer service to ask for a price check, the girl told her "Whatever the scanner says is right." My mom kept asking for a price check and was told by ''2 other employees'' that the scanner is never wrong. Fed up, she took her purchases to her car, went back into the back of the store, and returned to customer service with a black pair and white pair of the same shoes that had their prices listed as $12. She didn't get her money back until after demanding to speak to the manager even when the shoes were right under the employees' noses.

Here's one I found written on the board in my classroom one morning: Girls=Evil Show your work. Girls+Entertainment= Shopping, Shopping=Money, Money=Work, Work=Evil. Therefore, Girls=Evil

This troper, her friends and her boyfriend all troll each other. Only one person doesn't actually get it. He's kind of left out, but the rest of the group. Are special. We're all special

Had an argument that involves explaining a friend of mine what a Chu-Ko-Nu is and why it would be cool to have in Minecraft or at least a game set in the past. Let me try to piece together from what I remember.

Me- It's a Chinese automatic crossbow.

Him- Looks too futuristic for Minecraft.

Me- What? It's older than Jesus and you want flintlocks in the game?

Him- Flintlocks are more time appropriate.

Me- The Chu-Ko-Nu is an ancient age rifle.

Him- It doesn't look very practical. Why not use a regular crossbow instead?

Me- Because the Chu-Ko-Nu offers multiple volleys in seconds at the cost of accuracy?

Him- But it's loud, it would give away your cover. (Protip: It's not)

Me- You're not suppose to hide while using one, it's a siege weapon.

Him- Then how come I never seen one used now?

Me- The same reason why you don't see swords used now.

Him- But I've seen a sword used.

Not word for word but I remember it being incredibly stupid since he keeps bringing up modern weapons when that has nothing to do with anything at all. Afterwards, I show him several videos of the Chu-Ko-Nu in action and still continues to spout more bullshit. Historical weapons fanatic, my ass.

My friend's only con to having sushi today is, and I quote, "Cons are that I might have to kill a shark with my bare hands after I get sick of 'traditional' fishing, and I don't believe in cruelty to sharks." ''I don't even know.''

I looked up Gödel's theorem online a couple months ago. It goes something like this: Try to use any logical system to prove the statement "this statement is unprovable." The system by definition cannot prove this statement, because that would automatically make it false. Therefore, there must always be a statement that is true within your system but cannot be proven. Aside from this argument being ridiculous on its surface, FridgeLogic kicks when you realize that it involves proving the very statement that's supposed to be unprovable. Also, any conversation with my mom about politics will end up involving Insane Troll Logic. As an example, she once tried to use China as proof that capitalism is bad.

This troper was once chatting with some friends when one of them started talking about how it was impossible for the Egyptian pyramids to have been built by anything other than aliens, quoting multiple "conspiracy theory" type shows as his proof. No matter how much we argued, we couldn't convince him otherwise until I managed to find a video of a guy using physics to move a multi-ton piece of stone all by himself to prove that yes, Egypt could have done it with manpower alone. Doubled as a Crowning Moment of Funny when another friend of mine who occasionally roleplays as Atem the Pharaoh from Yu-Gi-Oh! randomly threw that character into the conversation.
