* ''Animation/TheMindsEye'' series doesn't feature much in the way of context to ''begin with'', being a collection of animations from different animators spliced together. That said, even some of the sequences when taken as a self-contained event don't make a lot of sense.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': The entire ''series'' makes little to no sense and cannot be explained accurately in one sentence. There's a headless fairy called Celty looking for her head in Ikebukuro after it was [[spoiler:stolen by a mad scientist]] and given to a pharmaceutical company. A boy named Seiji became infatuated with the head and his sister, Namie, was infatuated with him. Celty ended up living with Shinra, an underground doctor for twenty years, during said time he had a crush on her. Three different middle-schoolers started color gangs, one of which, made by [[spoiler:Mikado]], being a ridiculously large internet-based gang. A girl named [[spoiler:Anri]]'s parents were killed by a demon sword that possesses people and makes them into knife-wielding zombies. Shinra became friends with Shizuo, a man with super strength and an incredible temper in elementary school and later Shinra became friends with Izaya, who went on to manipulate Mikado as well as his friend, Masaomi. Oh, also a vampire became an idol and there are multiple, evil pharmaceutical companies. Please note that that was only a small part of the premise.

* There is an educational video made by the Spitzer Space Telescope PR people where a woman gets eaten by a giant anemone.
* The most publicized press event of 2010 [[UsefulNotes/AustralianPolitics Australian federal election]] was... [[http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/tony-abbott-burns-his-speedos-20100630-zl4q.html the burning of a pair of Tony Abbott's speedos on morning talkback radio]]. Yes, ''radio'', not television. MemeticMutation ensued in the Australian media over just how impossibly nonsensical the event was.

* After a rash of shark attacks off of the Egyptian coast, a high-ranking member of the Egyptian government declared that it was the work of UsefulNotes/{{Mossad}}, who he claimed had planted MindControl chips in the sharks' brains to attack Egyptian civilians in revenge for the Egyptians having too many tourists. Even his colleagues had a FlatWhat moment. It eventually was discovered that someone had been hand-feeding the sharks, which led to the fish biting other tourists in order to figure out where they kept food on their person. Note: When Egypt has to defend Israel from a statement one of their own made, you ''know'' it was stupid.

* More or less the entirety of ''LightNovel/HumanityHasDeclined'', which features such bizarre sequences as skinless chickens plotting to TakeOverTheWorld. The scarier part is when some of the things that only looked like this trope suddenly start to make sense on the fourth rewatch.

** The whole episode "A Glitch is a Glitch", appropriately premiered on AprilFoolsDay. It's done in [[ArtShift glitchy-looking CGI graphics instead of the show's usual art style]] and revolves around [[RealityIsOutToLunch weird things happening]] because the Ice King released a computer virus into the "universal source code", as part of a misguided attempt to get Princess Bubblegum to go out with him by making sure he's ''literally'' the only other person in the Land of Ooo.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': The end of "The Other Tarts". The psychotic Tart Toter bursts into the castle, brandishing a chicken and a squirrel in place of tarts, foaming at the mouth. He says: "This cosmic dance bursting with decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, (and it ''can''), then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you, yesterday, my friends. Peace." As he says this, the camera zooms in on his deranged, foaming face, and fades to the Tart Toter's delusion of drifting through space, surrounded by sweets, and LSP is in the space background, taking a donut. All of a sudden, it cuts back to the castle, where Finn cringes, and the episode ends.
** The whole episode "A Glitch is a Glitch", appropriately premiered on AprilFoolsDay.

* Most of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/10026360/ Northstar Pokeshipper]]'s stories have this to a degree (due to his habit of trying to mesh real-world elements into the fictional world, or vice versa), but the one that takes the cake might be the (now deleted due to backlash) Chapter 29 of his ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13438258/1/ 151 Pokeshipping Stories]]''. A riot breaks out in Pallet Town, caused by supporters of [=AmourShipping=] ([=AshxSerena=]) which results in the death of Tracey Sketchit, because he tried to defend [=PokéShipping=] ([=AshxMisty=]). [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really,]] that's what it is about.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' creator Chris Chandler's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATbBU1vyKeI "I Got a Fish"]] video, which features Chris dancing and singing "I got a fish, would you like to make a wish?" (added via a deliberate HongKongDub) several times over. Many people who see this in WebAnimation/YouTubePoop or similar videos assume it's part of some longer clip in which it makes much more sense. It isn't, and it doesn't.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' has the standard ''Tales Series'' formula of PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] show up. This time it's ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia Xillia's]]'' Jude and Milla. The weird part is how, for absolutely no reason at all, Jude is turned into a pengyon (except for the boss fights).

* In ''[[VideoGame/WildARMs3 Wild ARMs 3]]'', you can find a PornStash. That's not unusual. In order to open said stash, you need to find 18 Migrant Seal items. That's... less logical, but the number at least makes sense. Once you open it, you have to ''[[BonusBoss fight the porn stash]]''. Everyone in the party reacts like they just skimmed through the books rather than be attacked by it. To add onto how baffling this is, your reward is one of the children's adventure books used in a collection sidequest.

* "[[https://youtu.be/nQcfK9EKfL4 Puppy Monkey Baby]]." It's an ad for Mountain Dew Kickstart, saying that like the Puppy Monkey Baby, it is a combination of three great things: Mountain Dew, juice, and caffeine. The thing is ''[[UncannyValley horrifying]]'' though.

* The fifth ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'' contains [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw0XLjMNzuI a song about peeing]].

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu4I8bDQsS0 Palm Frond Bandit]]. Only in Florida.

* The ''VideoGame/NewYankeeInKingArthursCourt'' series has plenty of nonsense throughout, but most of it actually does make sense in context. However, in the eleventh game, the companions are at a loss to understand why the major goal of one level is disenchanting and then collecting four ''giant rubber ducks'' which are floating on the ponds. [[MrExposition Bran the raven]] says that he's pretty sure they belong to the Lady of the Lake, and the gang should take them in case they're ever needed for leverage, but they never get mentioned again in the game even when they actually do run into the Lady. It remains to be seen if they turn out to be a ChekhovsGun in a future installment.

* Many of the things that happen in WebVideo/{{Stampylongnose}}'s Quest and Den series are this trope. ''Especially'' ''Quest''[='s=] morning routine, which involves Stampy and his friend [=iBallisticSquid=] shooting arrows at each other form the top of giant statue-houses of themselves, flushing themselves down a giant toilet, then kissing a snow-golem, then pretending to sell ice cream to each other. This routine has been known to take up an entire twenty-minute episode.

->''"My first thought when I heard that was, 'I am ''so'' going to quote that out of context', but on reflection it doesn't make a whole lot of sense ''in'' context either."''

* Most events on ''Series/SamAndCat'' sound bizarre when discussing them anyway, but "[=#BrainCrush=]" takes the gold - the B-story has Cat putting on a one-woman play. Fair enough, she goes to a school for the performing arts and though her specialty's singing they do all sorts there... but it's about Abraham Lincoln. If Abraham Lincoln was a woman. Complete with a long red beard [[ShesGotLegs and a short skirt]]. Luckily, Music/ArianaGrande is too cute for it to come off as FanDisservice, but still. Oh, and...

* FridgeLogic occurs when something appears to make sense in context, until you examine it more closely. This fails to make sense in context, ''and'' when examined more closely.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': The entire ''series'' makes little to no sense and cannot be explained accurately in one sentence. There's a headless fairy called Celty looking for her head in Ikebukuro after it was [[spoiler:stolen by a mad scientist]] and given to a pharmaceuticals company. A boy named Seiji became infatuated with the head and his sister, Namie, was infatuated with him. Celty ended up living with Shinra, an underground doctor for twenty years, during said time he had a crush on her. Three different middle-schoolers started color gangs, one of which, made by [[spoiler:Mikado]], being a ridiculously large internet-based gang. A girl named [[spoiler:Anri]]'s parents were killed by a demon sword that possesses people and makes them into knife-wielding zombies. Shinra became friends with Shizuo, a man with super strength and an incredible temper in elementary school and later Shinra became friends with Izaya, who went on to manipulate Mikado as well as his friend, Masaomi. Oh, also a vampire became an idol and there are multiple, evil pharmaceutical companies. Please note that that was only a small part of the premise.

** In the GenderBender arc, [[BadassAdorable Kagura]] is transformed into a male by a light, but she turns into an old man, with a scar. When Gintoki ask her how she even got that scar since it doesn't make any sense, she says she got it when she realized that she had something [[GagPenis ugly]] between her legs when she woke up from her nap, and she ripped it off, which caused her to get the scar, it's over her eye not between her legs! Then she wants to warn a friend of hers, and [[TeamPet Sadaharu]], her male dog, has become a horse..!

* A panel in the official translation of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' shows Elma asking "You want me to eat you?" Out-of-context, it's something of a bizarre non-sequitur (even knowing that she's obsessed with food). In-context, though, it's just as strange: she's saying it to a bear that just roared at her while she was looking for the kids she was supposed to be watching. That the bear itself seems shocked and baffled by her question just adds to its weirdness.
* The general absurdity of ''Manga/OnePiece'' makes it a frequent sufferer of this trope. e.g. "The geezer-tree and... a unicorn are having a drink!" And sometimes putting things in-context makes them even worse. Except when you actually read them themselves.

* ''Anime/ToLoveRu'': "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11591414/2/To-Love-CARNAGE To-Love-Carnage]]" features a conversation where the two main characters heavy imply they actually know they are in a fanfiction. It comes out of nowhere and never is explained. But then again, that'll make sense knowing its a [[spoiler:CrackFic]].

--> '''John:''' Gordon Freeman is now these hands...

* Not unlike the below ''Rubber'' example, ''Film/DeathBedTheBedThatEats'' is much, '''much''' weirder than [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin its title]] suggests, mixing horror, sexploitation, surrealism and arthouse tones with wild abandon. The director claims to ''have no memory of directing it''. [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Go figure.]]

* Basically the entirety of early Jackie Chan film ''Film/FantasyMissionForce''. For starters, it's... not really a Chan movie (he's in maybe fifteen minutes of it), and his main contribution to things is to turn up, beat the hell out of everyone, and wander off again. It opens up with Allied generals in what is presumably World War II being captured by... the Japanese? The Nazis? It's... sort of unclear. And one of the Allied generals is Abraham Lincoln, something that is never commented on. And when they're captured, the generals are arguing about where the Nazi presence is, and indicating Baffin Island (part of Canada that's above the Arctic Circle) as to where they are. Then it cuts to a bunch of Allied officers (all of whom are Chinese) who are trying to assemble a team to rescue the captured generals, passing over Rocky Balboa, Snake Plissken, James Bond (Connery version), and Hercule Poirot as being otherwise occupied or unsuitable for military action, before settling on... well, it superficially resembles a Dirty Dozen knockoff, but opens with a musical number (which is never explained and is interrupted by bounty hunters looking to capture the guy leading the number, only for ''that'' to be derailed by the bounty target '''buying the gun''' off the lead hunter, and...), and continues onwards as you feel your sanity slowly unraveling. Mere words cannot do it justice, it is possibly the greatest awful movie ever made. If you have the time, and the desire to experience the cinematic equivalent of an out of body experience, or possibly just a bad acid trip, it can be seen in its entirety on [=YouTube=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRd0Kg8AXNs here]].

** Even worse, the distant finale of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' (which was written long before "Threshold") shows ships exceeding warp 10 without any lizard-people or infinite energy, though this probably signifies a renumbering of the scale. (This had been done once before; it was ''TNG'' that introduced the warp scale that tops out at Warp 10. In the original series, Warp 10 was achievable but somewhat unsafe for the ''Enterprise'' under normal circumstances, and significantly exceeded under a few abnormal circumstances.)

* ''Series/TheYoungOnes'': From the airplane crashing into the house, random unexplained time travel into the middle ages, vampires (who turn out to be video shop employees) in the post, random cartoon violence often resulting in massive head trauma, a genie in a kettle that is boiled alive when one of them makes tea, Macbeth witches in the hallway, a University Challenge team being crushed by an éclair, Buddy Holly hanging from his parachute in the rafters, the very random cut scenes that don't have any meaning and the loose, often prosaic plotlines: all factors that combined to create both one of the most well-loved UK TV comedies of the 80s and one of the most bizarrely set sitcoms ever broadcast.

** ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon': Grandpa (Tittymitty) fought his own personal war against the lobsters in 1812. The leader of the lobsters, Cornwallis, was in love with his wife, so the two fought. That war is the reason Grandpa's face is on the million dollar bill. The rest of the characters chalk this up to a story Grandpa made up, but at the end Cornwallis returns to pay back his debt to Grandpa and saves the family from a waterfall.

* ''VideoGame/CastleCrashers'' has a particularly bizarre ending to a bizarre game. [[spoiler: The fourth princess turns out to be a clown. She then does a silly dance to the tune of "The Sailor's Hornpipe" while penguins, pink weasels and love hearts cover the screen. No explanation for this is ever given.]] [[note]]The Clown is likely supposed to be Tricky the Clown, a character from various Newgrounds videos. Castle Crashers does have a lot of Newgrounds references, after all. [[/note]]
* The Beethoven Level from ''[[VideoGame/DragonsLair Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp]]''. It starts off with [[TheHero Dirk]] being chased by a cat around Beethoven's house. Seems OK, right? Well, then the piano starts flying, the cat turns into a fire breathing demon-cat, Beethoven briefly turns into Music/EltonJohn, you have to scramble over flying violins and music notes, and before everything comes crashing down Beethoven's coat is set on fire. And there is no explanation whatsoever.

* A ''lot'' of scenes from ''VideoGame/Mother3'' would leave you scratching your head, but if you play the whole game beginning to end, you'll probably be even MORE confused. Why does Ionia [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything hold Lucas' head underwater near his crotch to teach him PSI]]? Why do the Oxygen Supply Machines look like big-lipped male mermaids who supply oxygen via [[HoYay a kiss]] and why are there land-based Oxygen Supply Machines that look like big-lipped hunky centaurs? Why is there a living bass guitar in the attic of Club Tittiboo [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou that attacks you for no reason]]? The list goes on. And on.

** "Working Dough" is arguably just as weird. Four sentient blobs of dough work in a factory with Mr. Game And Watch, head bumping power pellets onto a conveyor belt to give a space ship enough power to escape Earth's gravity. "Working Dough 2" is even weirder, as it takes place in a bamboo forest with the dough blobs resting in teapots, the space ship is now a large tea-sipping geisha doll, and the space rabbits from the GBA installment appear.

* ''[[http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/delta/firstword/ The First Word]]'' has no dialogue until the first word appears at the very end, so lack thereof can to some pretty confusing, difficult to explain scenarios. For instance, all of the evolution getting summarized midway through the comic, a girl whose mind can time travel, and a caveman's glowing blue penis.

* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' has a number of out of nowhere jokes that made no sense. One example, which the community found particularly hilarious:

--> '''Arin:''' At age six I was born without a face.

** ''Terra'' is a strange episode. Von Reichter creates a BlobMonster made of mud and Jose bungles finishing it, resulting in a NonMaliciousMonster with the mind of a toddler at best. It manages to get its hands on Cybersix and starts draining her energy when a glowing orb comes out of her and into Terra which gives it the ability to speak and makes it start asking her what love is. Furious about this, Jose mutates the creature into a truly malicious entity that grabs Cybersix again, drains her energy again, making another glowing orb come out of her and [[FightingFromTheInside makes the nice love-happy Terra try to come out again]]. Feeling bad for it Cybersix hugs it and one of her tears touches it, which makes it glow blue and cures it, fully turning it back into the "good" Terra. Confused? You should be, since ''none'' of this makes any sense InUniverse or are even addressed. What the hell the glowing orb was and Cybersix's healing tears are never explained and never appear in the series again.

** Another realistic giant baby, but with a full-body, appeared as a gag in an early episode coming from a normal-sized and typically cartoonish designed mom, no explanation was given.

** We actually get to see how he comes to those weird answers in an episode shown from Pinky's perspective. He barely listens what Brain is saying and his mind wanders off on odd tangents until he is thinking about things that seem completely unrelated to the conversation to anyone but him.

** ''Theatre/TwistedTheUntoldStoryOfARoyalVizier'': The Sultan has an inverted penis, and this is how Jafar figures out that the Princess is his daughter.

** And after collecting all 65 weapons hidden within the game ''(each often with their own horrible requirements to get)'', the player finally gets to experience the fifth and final ending of ''Drakengard''. Where the same as above happens, but [[spoiler: the main character and his dragon wind up dragging the true final boss through a dimensional gateway. To Shinjuku, Japan. In 2003. And then [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere they engage in a rhythm battle above Tokyo]] in a game that had once been hack-and-slash gameplay]]. Even the relevant characters wind up seriously confused for the few lines of dialogue they have.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': At the end of "Burns, Baby Burns", Larry Burns (Creator/RodneyDangerfield) randomly announces a party in the middle of the street. Not only does everyone present immediately join in the celebration, but Music/{{Journey}}'s "Any Way You Want It" begins blasting out of nowhere. Marge [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, only for Homer to tell her to stop worrying and enjoy the party.

* In BoringTrousers' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPT0CtK_fxI Three Year Anniversary Special]], Adam and CJ try to explain to Joe what he missed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgOCZdzI-Ew Cool Collar Bro]], in which an [[LetsPlays LPer]] explains why he wears a [[CollaredByFashion dog collar]]. The explanation ends up sounding like the premise of a {{Shonen}} {{Anime}} -- to the point where it perhaps would have been wiser to have not given an explanation at all:

* The [[https://legendsoflocalization.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ghostbusters-ending-e.png ending screen]] to ''[[VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' on the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] is one of the epitomes of AWinnerIsYou, but special mention has to go to "And [[BlindIdiotTranslation prooved]] the justice of our culture". Even among one of the worst video game endings of all time, this sentence stands out as making absolutely no sense whatsoever. How does completing a video game prove the justice of our culture? And to whose culture is it even referring? Japan's culture? America's culture? The Ghostbusters' culture? Who knows!

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': "I'm in a bear suit!"

* ThePlotDemandedThisIndex - Something happens to push the story because logic can't.

* A character whose words, actions, or motivations seem irrational or incomprehensible may be a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, ChaoticStupid, or follow a BlueAndOrangeMorality (or any combination of those); InsaneTrollLogic may arise when a character tries to justify their actions, or chooses their goals, in an irrational manner. However, while these tropes may lead to It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context events (and usually do), it isn't ''automatically'' this trope.

* "Puppy Monkey Baby." It's an ad for Mountain Dew Kickstart, saying that like the Puppy Monkey Baby, it is a combination of three great things: Mountain Dew, juice, and caffeine. The thing is ''[[UncannyValley horrifying]]'' though.

* The infamous rapping dog from ''WesternAnimation/TitanicTheLegendGoesOn'' is this in spades. The uncut edition vaguely justifies it by having the dog rap about how the animals are going to throw a party and he wants them to steal food for it (which we see the animals doing in later scenes), but the announcement for the party and ''the fact that it's expressed via a '''''rap number''''' comes [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment right the flip out of nowhere]].

* Basically the entirety of early Jackie Chan film ''Film/FantasyMissionForce''. For starters, it's... not really a Chan movie (he's in maybe fifteen minutes of it), and his main contribution to things is to turn up, beat the hell out of everyone, and wander off again.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': The fourth season finale "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E22Restless Restless]]" is a goldmine for this trope, but particular mention goes to the man who wanders through the main characters' dreams discussing, demonstrating and wearing cheese slices. In the commentary, Creator/JossWhedon says this is because every dream has some element that simply makes no sense.

** Even worse, the distant finale of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' (which was written long before "Threshold") shows ships exceeding warp 10 without any lizard-people or infinite energy, though this probably signifies a renumbering of the scale. (Which had been done once before; it was ''TNG'' that introduced the warp scale that tops out at Warp 10.

Castle Crashers does have a lot of Newgrounds references after all. [[/note]]

* Being [[WidgetSeries what it is]], ''VideoGame/OmegaLabyrinthLife'' features a ''lot'' of systems that make absolutely no sense, aside from all being purely for {{Fanservice}}. Some prominent examples include: your character grows more powerful by absorbing Omega Power from fallen monsters, which is stored in their chests, and makes them [[BreastExpansion grow as a side-effect]]; you identify unknown items by putting them into an Ambiguity Crystal, then rubbing it with a character's breasts to infuse it with Omega Power, making it grow larger and longer until the excess power ''erupts'' from the top half; and Tit-for-Tat, which is rock-paper-scissors only with ''breasts'' instead of hands.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonVietnameseCrystal'': A poorly translated bootleg of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokemon Crystal Version]]'', many of the very odd quotes that the [=NPCs=] say make little or no sense. See the [[Quotes/PokemonVietnameseCrystal quotes page]] on this game for some examples.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' is known by non-fans for being [[LongRunner notoriously dense]], but most of its events [[ItMakesSenseInContext make perfect sense if you follow the plot threads from the beginning.]] And ignore the retcons. However, there are some notable exceptions that even die-hard fans have trouble accepting.

** ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'' is considered the worst offender by many, including such things as [[TimeyWimeyBall introducing a time-travel mechanic]], using said time-travel [[FanDislikedExplanation to answer questions nobody was asking]], and giving the BigBad the ability to track people by planting an X on them, such as in their name (explaining why all of Organization XIII had their MeaningfulRename) or just giving them X-shaped suspenders.[[note]]Amazingly, this plot-point was foreshadowed in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep a previous game]], making the series [[NarmCharm enjoyable despite the presence of this trope]].[[/note]] Yes, the entire plot could have been avoided if Sora had just changed his shirt. This is just scratching the surface, as this game keeps on throwing things at the player that makes no sense.
