Alice says something ridiculous. Bob responds with this StockPhrase (or some close relative), then explains ''why'' Alice's statement is ridiculous. Of course, Bob's justification is either as absurd, more absurd, or otherwise not a rebuttal one would normally make to the original statement.
Not quite the same as the usage of the phrase by FunnyForeigner Balki Bartokomous in the sitcom ''PerfectStrangers''. (He would say it when suspected of doing something wrong, but usually wouldn't follow up with a nonsensical rebuttal.)
Often, Bob is TheDitz, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, or TheWonka. Less often, Alice is likewise one of those characters.
A common variant is that Alice's original statement was an attempt to guess what Bob is planning or doing. ("So you're going to just storm the castle?" "Don't be absurd. I'm going to storm the castle ''carrying this marionette.'' Sheesh.")
