2	I was going to put this on the SugarWiki/FunnyMoments page for Web Original, but I thought it would take up too much space.
3	* From the ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}'' wiki: on Sugar's article, a contributor asked for someone to explain the game for them. They received [[https://off.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Sugar/@comment-24.6.42.145-20140202133538/@comment-69.35.211.55-20140802043740 this]] response from another contributor:
4	--> "You see, off is a turn based ROY[[note]]RPG[[/note]] made by UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton. You play as the pitcher, whose sole job is to purify the rivers of earth realm in order to get rid of [[Franchise/MassEffect commander Shephard]]'s spectres. However there are some complications run Into through the pitcher's purifina quest. Each zone has a guardian goose that will for some reason attempt you from removing the galactic councils spectres. The first zones guardian Website/{{Google}}, is [=DeeDee=], who is really short with big buck teeth. The first zone is composed of mines and farms. The mines are there for the testificate villagers to dig up methane, the least important of the four elements, and the farms are to produce metal by sawing cows in half and taking large chunks of metal from the cow's bodies, but for some reason, there's meat within the cow's. Sounds crazy, right? They throw the odd meat found within these cow's into rivers of meat one of the most important of the 4 elements... because without meat, man wouldn't have anything to breathe. In the second zone, you will find the place littered with libraries and malls. This zone' s guardian gobble is a parrot named Josephat who was eaten by the main character's animal guide, taco' s sister. Valentine. The bird became a kidney stone which later was able to control Valentine's body. The pitcher battles the treacherous forces of reading to get to Valentine, and they make battle! Only for Valentines/josephat to discover that the pitchers balls are too mighty for him to handle! Valentine/[[SuddenNameChange houseboat]] decides this is an opportune Time to go to the mall, where the pitcher faces [[{{Portmanteau}} valenphat]] in a HOT TOPIC store after valerat takes the last DOMO t-shirt, Valentine later reveals that she is not Valentine, but turns out to be houseboat, the guardian gobble of zone 2! He transforms into a large [[Music/BobMarley Bob marley]]bird, and is killed by the pitcher. Taco is devastated to learn that Valentine was a cute cat-shaped hat this whole time, [[DrowningMySorrows and becomes an alcoholic]]. He is replaced by Zach from [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Zach and Cody]], and becomes unimportant for the whole second 3/6 of the game. The pitcher purified the zone's water and the spectators, and moves unto zone 3! Zone 3 is composed of cocaine factories, the most important of the 3.14 elements. Because without cocaine, man would be too bored and whack off all the time. The pitcher later discovers that the sugar is actually made of the fingernail clipping of dead people in the necrophilia ward of the factory. Zone 3's guardian ghizzard is a corporate fat-cat named [[Franchise/StarWars Ewok]]. [[SuddenNameChange Erik]] then succumbs to heart failure mid-battle and dies. This is where the pitcher decides zone 3 is boring, so let's go to the final zone, the dorm! This realm consists of [[BuffySpeak stuff that does things]]. The pitcher has to face different versions of the guardian gibblies- [=DeeDee=], houseboat, and Ewok here again. And then moves to kill the queen... [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]! When confronted by the pitcher, Darth Vader offers him some coffee. The pitcher splashes it in Cadets face, [[CurbStompBattle and Darth Vader]] [[WeaksauceWeakness dies instantly]]! The pitcher decides that now is an opportune time to beat his Father/son ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer actually not kidding on this part]]) [[WouldHurtAChild to death]] with a Crickett bat. Taco comes in and calls the pitcher a big fat phony, this is where the player is given an option to side with the pitcher who want to purify the entire Atlantic ocean, or Taco, wants to stop the pitcher from purifying the ocean, so [[Film/WarForThePlanetOfTheApes planet of the apes 3]] will come out. but regardless of which person you side with, the world is then destroyed by the evil forces of the end credits... AND THAT, MY GOOD SIR IS THE PLOT TO, OFF!"

6	This was going to be moved to ArsonMurderAndJaywalking from the {{Narm}} section of the YMMV subpage for ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'', but I felt like it was talking more about meta stuff than the game itself (or the platform in general), so I stored it here.
7	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-Roblox-Community-Rules The Community Guidelines']] examples of prohibited "hate speech" content:
8	-->Clothing with [[RedArmbandOfLeadership red arm bands;]]
9	-->[[StillFightingTheCivilWar Confederate flags]]; and
10	-->[[Memes/SonicTheHedgehog Ugandan Knuckles memes.]]
11
12	Moved from the NightmareFuel subpage of ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''. I thought it was interesting.
13	-> Try to picture what the whole scenario would actually be like in real life. You walk into a normal looking house with a normal looking girl inside. You flick the lights off (once...twice...a few times) and suddenly there's this black and white, deformed looking ''thing'' in place of the girl. The door can't be opened, the lights can't be turned back on. The only option is to go up and touch this thing...
14
15	An entry for FandomLifeCycle that would likely be there if the site in question had a page:
16	* The Random-ness Wiki has been at stage 2 throughout its lifespan: a small, but dedicated community contributing to over 30,000 pages worth of content, along with a bunch of people outside of the community who discovered the wiki by chance. Unfortunately, it has since slipped into stage 6c, after its closure in mid-2021.
17
18	Salvaged from the Funny page for YouTubePoop. If this is lost media, it would be interesting to find it again.
19	* It seems to be no longer available, but back in 2009 or early 2010, there was a YTP of ''WesternAnimation/{{BIONICLE}}: The Legend Reborn'' called something like "Mata Nui fails to fix a guitar". In the original film, when Ackar tries to interrupt the GladiatorGames, the fighters Tarix and Vastus are the only ones willing to hear him out. In this version...
20	-->[''Tarix and Vastus fight, repeatedly clashing their weapons while [[ScreamingWarrior screaming]]'']\
21	'''Ackar''': Fighting between Glatorian must stop!\
22	[''Tarix and Vastus continue fighting'']\
23	'''Ackar''': Stop!\
24	[''Tarix and Vastus continue fighting'']\
25	'''Ackar''': Stop fighting as I speak!\
26	[''[[OverlyLongGag Tarix and Vastus continue fighting]]'']\
27	'''Ackar''': ENOUGH!\
28	[''Ackar takes out his sword and [[PlayingWithFire shows off his newfound elemental powers]], and the entire arena falls silent in awe'']\
29	'''Kiina''': [[TemptingFate Yeah, we thought that might catch your attention-]]\
30	[''Tarix and Vastus immediately resume fighting'']
31
32	Removed from the Funny page for ''VideoGame/SilentHill2''. To be fair, it ''is'' already listed under the franchise's {{Narm}} page, though.
33	* While normally the Lying Figures are quite creepy, shortly after you meet Maria and start walking down the road with her following you, Lying Figures will attack you by essentially ''catapulting themselves'' over the railing to land on the road. The sight of it is absurd.
34
35	Deleted from the NightmareFuel page of Music/AphexTwin for being NightmareRetardant. I thought it was funny, though.
36
37	*** However, one Website/YouTube comment manages to [[NightmareRetardant suck all the creepiness out of (Windowsill)]] with this:
38	--->'''"[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Woah, finally a song that captures the mood of trying to brush dust into a dustpan but there's always that fucking line of dust that you can't get in, it gets smaller and smaller but never goes away. I will play this song next time I need to dust with a dustpan.]]"'''
39
40	* Lament on removed/renamed/dead tropes, derived from a poem featured in ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'':
41	--> ''Dead tropes, dead tropes, swinging from a tree''\
42	''How many dead tropes do you see?''\
43	''Links turned red or directed away''\
44	''Reeking of misuse and better days''
45
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder: Marble Hornets Nightmare Fuel Dump]]
49	For the "Other" section of the NightmareFuel page for ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets''. The content removed was too big, so I put it in this separate folder instead.
50	* NightmareFuel is the point of Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos.
51	** [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos We're all]] [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets frightened by the]] Slender Man, but the scariest aspect of it is probably how he was specifically created to become a MemeticMutation UrbanLegend, [[ParanoiaFuel and that people have actually started hearing rumors and having literal nightmares about him]]. [[GoneHorriblyRight Almost as if it worked too well.]]
52	** ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'' in particular has the honour of being worthy of this list despite nothing really actually happening. For crying out loud, this series made a guy opening a door and walking through into one of the scariest moments ever.
53	* The page for the [[http://www.marblehornetsdvd.com/ Marble Hornets DVD]] currently just reads "See You Soon" with music that is pure fear in its most distilled form.
54	** While the "See you soon" is gone now, the fear is still there. Also, Clicking "Buy Now" used to send you to a JumpScare.
55	*** [[FromBadToWorse It got worse with the Second Season DVD.]] The first disc's main menu more specifically: The design follows around a bare light bulb fading in to show the menu options and later fades out in a loop. However, whether it be intentional or just a GoodBadBug, when it fades in the second time, [[NothingIsScarier the menu options don't show up.]]
56	* Masky's mask. It's ominous, almost wrong.
57	** The weirdest thing is how it seems to be either smiling slightly, or completely blank. Either way, it does not say much good about who wears it.
58	* The series takes place in [[DeepSouth Alabama]]. The two roads in the Introduction are Country Road 52 and then Highway 31. The locations in Entry #5 and Entry #21 are in [[http://www.alapark.com/oakmountain/ Oak Mountain State Park]]. For those who live in Alabama, it means that [[ParanoiaFuel everything is happening around where they live.]]
59	** It's also been confirmed by WordOfGod. They all live in Alabama, and based on how they talk about it, they absolutely hate it.
60	* Dear God. From the first entry where you first see Slendy, to Entry 11 where you will scream "He's in the house!" all the way to the utter fear of Entry 19 where someone is watching you sleep. Does nothing to you and then with a cut of the camera you are gone for 3 hours and have no idea what happened. Lastly, on the Meta side: the idea that Jay is now a target simply because he was curious about what freaked out his friend and wanted to figure out what was going on.
61	** To really drive this all home, let's go more in-depth with the Mythos. The focus is on a HumanoidAbomination (who provides the trope page image) who is really tall, [[NoodlePeople very thin]], and [[TheBlank has no face]]. His "arms" [[CombatTentacles are actually tentacles]], and [[WhenTreesAttack he may actually be a humanoid tree]]. He can teleport himself and others anywhere, he gives people a mysterious cough, and he drives people insane. And sometimes, he doesn't really bother trying to attack his victims right away. [[NothingIsScarier Instead, he simply stands there. Outside your window. Or in your living room. Or right by your bed. Just biding his time. Doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.]]
62	*** The only two times he could ever been thought to actually do anything physical in MH is when he enters a character's bedroom and the character is later seen with blood on his face, and when there is a mysterious fire. That's it. And yet it makes him so many times creepier than if he actively attacked people. Mostly, he just stands there. Watching you. Screwing with your mind. Watching as you slowly drive yourself crazy out of sheer paranoia...
63	** A particularly common idea in the Mythos is that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the more you read about Slendy, the more likely it is that he'll start following you, too]], to the point where Maduin of ''Blog/AReallyBadJoke'' once did an experiment where he introduced three people to the stories by different methods and tracked how long it took for Him to find them. Aside from the one who was introduced via NightmareRetardant MemeticMutation, it was three weeks or less.
64	* One word: Psychosomatic. When watching these videos, it's not at all uncommon for people to start having headaches, coughing for no apparent reason, becoming more and more paranoid, and having trouble sleeping. There are perfectly good reasons for all of it. Staring raptly at a computer screen for hours at a time watching the videos would be enough to give anyone a headache; rapt fascination is likely to lead to a person neglecting to drink enough while watching, the resulting dry throat makes you cough; who wouldn't be paranoid after watching these? And did you know that paranoia is a major cause of insomnia and poor sleep? But the paranoia is enough to make most people disregard other possible causes for the headaches, coughing, and bad sleep so they assume [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Slendy is really out to get them now.]] It's honestly [[GoneHorriblyRight rather brilliant.]]
65	* For anyone that suffers petit mal seizures, aka absent seizures, some of the behavior of characters can be kind of scary when it's caused by the Operator. These seizures usually manifest as moments of 'staring spells' but sometimes suffers will walk around and hold conversations with no memory of what just happened, among other things.
66	* Have fun watching this series if you have Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, or even the Common Cold - as with most other Slender Man stories, his presence can be detected if a person gets a sudden coughing jag. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Guess what that means for you?]]
67	* At one point, the ''Marble Hornets'' site was just an empty black screen with one small caption: [[NothingIsScarier "Pending investigation, this site is not available."]] However, the site is back to normal now. Use Website/WayBackMachine, I guess."
68	* Someone made an instrumental song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRyHafhKGio named after and based around the Operator]] that manages to perfectly capture the atmospheric horror and ambiguity of the character.
69	** They also made a song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5_ghmWB98c dedicated to Totheark]] that is similarly freaky atmospherically and aesthetically.
70	* [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking This series becomes a lot scarier when your name is Jay or Tim.]]

73	!!FNAF World "Funny" Dump
74	So large it had to be split into a separate section altogether.
75
76	The "other" section - no reason given for its removal.
77	[[folder: Other]]
78	* While Mangle's suicide seems dark and scary, it could be just a form of BlackComedy. Like Mangle could have killed itself because all the gender debates drove it insane.
79	** Others suggest that Mangle bit into the paddleball and is refusing to let go, like a dog with its favorite toy. (Which, considering foxes are in the canine family, isn't ''too'' much a stretch.) Or is legitimately stuck to the ball somehow and is feeling very frustrated.
80	** It's also less horrifying when you realize that robots don't need to breathe, so it wouldn't be able to kill itself that way.
81	** The teaser itself is a Visual IncrediblyLamePun as Mangle hangs out a regular basis.
82	** It is holding onto the ball with its mouth, and its eyes are turned down to look at the second endo-head, who is looking back at it with a "The hell is wrong with you?" expression. So no suicide, just silliness.
83	** Some people actually laughed at the reaction and outrage to the teaser. Even though it was jarring since this happened to one of the more popular characters, they pointed out those same people who flipped over the image would've been cheering had it happened to [[TheScrappy Balloon]] [[TheChewToy Boy]] instead.
84	*** This becomes HilariousInHindsight when the next teaser image displays some version of Balloon Boy torn to shreds.
85	*** Turns out that it is actually Ballboy due to the propeller cap being too small and his head being too big.
86	* Someone edited [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ryIGICvmk the FNAF World trailer]] and completely omitted the CurseCutShort.
87	** The best part is it's played in a way that makes it look like the cupcake is saying it.
88	* Although Scott pulled the game for negative reception, it did have a large number of positive reviews. How many? '''''[[ArcNumber 87%]].'''''
89	* In one Steam [[http://steamcommunity.com/app/427920/discussions/0/451851477883302822/#c451851477883541662 topic]] about the game (topic contains '''major''', '''''MAJOR''''' spoilers), Scott had this to say.
90	--> Not ego, I just figured a lot of people might [[SelfDeprecation want to kill me at this point.]]
91	** This also counts as SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments due to all the support people gave him after this statement.
92	* Have you wondered what the initials in JJ's name stand for? A copyright leak that was discovered before the game was released reveals that it stands for [=JayJay=]. What makes it so funny is that it should've been obvious at the start since her initials have the same pronunciation as her full name.
93	* On a Reddit forum about Chica's Magic Rainbow, Scott warned the fans that they would regret their obsession about the thing. And he was absolutely right.

100	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL1gM6dSMLM This]] joke trailer is a good laugh from start to finish. Highlights include the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFuckboys'' reference at the start, the box art images and the captions for the first four games, the "immersive, complex storyline" where Foxy tells Freddy that the Purple Guy is his ''son'', with Creator/MNightShyamalan saying "What a twist!", and the game being set for ''tomorrow'', announcing a sequel (with a box art that's just a reverse of the first game's boxart) set to be released in two weeks on Uplay. Also doubles as HilariousInHindsight, for predicting the overly long "Starring" gag from the actual trailer, jumpscares being a part of combat, and Souldozer making a cameo in Update 2.

107	* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheShadowsBetrayYou/videos David Near]], a Youtuber known for making fanmade voices for multiple {{CreepyPasta}} characters and who even made his own [[NightmareFuel utterly frightening]] interpretations of the franchise's characters before voice-acting appeared in the series, made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojkXrK_6zY a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iFIUA7YFIo few]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InoAW5K3Vw0 voices]] for some characters in this game. Each one is positively hilarious, but the best one has to be David's take on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7H31Fl92DE Browboy]], who angrily complains about people calling him that name and saying there's [[HypocriticalHumor nothing wrong about his eyebrows]]. In fact, [[DisproportionateRetribution the whole reason the guy is evil is because folks always make fun of him and don't call him by his true name]]: [[spoiler:Ernie]]. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2mIkI7Ujhk Porkpatch]] voice is equally hilarious, where the guy is portrayed as an over-enthusiastic VillainousGlutton who wants to eat everything in sight. His dialogue is a little frightening, but then again, he sounds like a robotic version of Yoda.

112	* Planning to make a page for the ''Kirby Superstar Adventures'' series by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS8_NJO07VExiMZkpj94C5A/ WiiTheNinja]], an obscure [=YouTuber=] who last made a video 13 years ago. From the series, he is best known for "Kirby Bloopers", surpassing over 100K views, and it's the only video of his I have seen. If I can, I can watch the other videos and see if I can make a trope page out of it under WebVideo/KirbySuperstarAdventures.

114	!!The Sliding Scale Of Strangeness
115
116	Note: This list is currently unfinished, and likely won't get work done on it often.
117
118	This is a scale for how weird or bizarre a work may get. The higher up the scale, the more strange elements are thrown in, and the less comprehensible it'll get.
119
120	This will be divided into seven categories:
121	* Level 0: The work is completely normal, and there are absolutely no weird elements at all. At the chance that there ''is'' something strange, it would likely be normal or realistic enough for audiences to not be surprised by it. Placing [[FunnyAnimal Funny Animals]] in everyday situations may reach this level at lowest.
122	* Level 1: Some fantastical and wacky elements are thrown in, but there are still pretty normal situations in the work.
123	* Level 2: Amps up the weirdness a bit. You may find some stuff that seem out of place, unrealistic or bizarre, but the work is generally coherent and comprehensible enough.
124	* Level 3: Gets even weirder. At this point, there will be some stuff that can't be comprehended or explained at all. Some bizarre moments can get explained, though, and the work will still be clear for the most part.
125	* Level 4: Audiences might start to be more withdrawn by this level due to the amount of weirdness. Things that may make people feel weirded out/uncomfortable, or just feel strange in general, can be found here. The work is still comprehensible, but less so than the previous levels. However, not everything is weird, and there is still a lot the audience can grasp in their minds.
126	* Level 5: Full-blown weirdness. Plots vary; on one hand, there's a fairly understandable plot, but on the other, there's a plot that's just too bizarre to be explained or justified. Expect everything here to be as weird as possible without completely blowing one's mind. [[DisneyAcidSequence Disney Acid Sequences]] tend to be here, though it may not affect the placement of a work in its entirety.
127	* Level 6: By now, the work is just too bizarre to be understood by anyone, even for people with fondness of the strange. The work generally goes above and beyond QuirkyWork with one weird element after another, and often veers into MindScrew territory. Besides at least a few elements, trying to actually comprehend the work is out of the question.
128
129	Notes:
130	* While the standard WesternAnimation, VideoGames, AnimeAndManga, {{Film}}, LiveActionTv, {{Music}}, WebOriginal and more are accepted here, standalone things such as MusicVideos may qualify.
131	* When editing, it's best to leave a note explaining ''how'' the work fits the level it's in. That way, people will understand why it's there.
132
133	This list is formatted in folders marked by levels, which are below.
134	[[folder: Level 0]]
135	* ''Film/TwelveAngryMen'' [[note]]Fairly realistic jury duties. Nothing inherently weird happens.[[/note]]
136	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' [[note]]The show is entirely about the mundane slice-of-life adventures of its eponymous four-year-old protagonist, and nothing especially unrealistic happens.[[/note]]
137	* ''Series/SesameStreet'' [[note]]Various monsters with different personalities go about everyday activities. Nothing especially weird in the main series, though some segments can reach higher. (e.g. in "Count to Ten With Nobody", you can understand that it's supposed to teach you counting, but it's presented so bizarrely that it comes off as potentially unnerving, and lands at a level 4.)[[/note]]
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder: Level 1]]
141	* ''VideoGame/ClumsyNinja'' [[note]]Would be at 0 if it weren't for magical potions and [[TalkingAnimal talking animals]], at the least. Or the RagdollPhysics.[[/note]]
142	* ''VideoGame/DisneyMagicalWorld'' [[note]]One half is a general life sim game in Castleton. The other is about fighting ghosts in the dungeons. Nothing too weird for any higher levels.[[/note]]
143	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' [[note]]For the most part, with the protagonist flying and such. However, the [[DisneyAcidSequence Pink Elephants on Parade]] scene is a 5, close to 6.[[/note]]
144	* ''VideoGame/TheGrayGarden'' [[note]]Probably the least weird out of all of Creator/DeepSeaPrisoner's games; the characters include angels, demons, gods, and the monsters you meet along the way. The former three are all humanized, and, besides using their powers, have pretty normal days. The plot is also understandable: Ivlis and his demons from the Flame World invade the titular garden, and it's up to the four main heroes to stop them.[[/note]]
145	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' [[note]]A young boy goes to a WizardingSchool, and faces numerous magical threats during his time there. The situations are pretty normal; the presence of magic puts this here, and most of the magical situations are fairly standard for their genre (casting spells, wizard battles, magical creatures etc.). There are some elements that may reach higher levels, such as the Dementors and time travel elements in the third book.[[/note]]
146	* ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'' [[note]]The game features a bunch of stick people and features tons of fails that analyze the consequences of actions. Some are fairly realistic, some are unexpectedly realistic, but quite a few veer into fantastical elements. Nevertheless, the series is fairly understandable.[[/note]]
147	* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' [[note]]You play in a fairly realistic cubic world. The number of fantastical monsters and other items puts this here.[[/note]]
148	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [[note]]Various fantastical creatures fight against one another. Plots are usually simple, involving the main character working up their way to the Pokémon League to become the region's champion, along with a subplot usually involving the regional evil team. Some of the weirder elements, such as certain Pokémon designs and the more supernatural occurrences bring it to a borderline 2.[[/note]]
149	* ''Literature/RequiemForADream'' [[note]]A story about the consequences of drug addiction, that, while mainly grounded in reality, is placed above 0 due to certain unnerving and strange sequences, such as Sara Goldfarb's hallucinations, including her fridge coming to life.[[/note]]
150	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' [[note]]Anthropomorphic characters with superpowers, and some of them are abnormally-colored. Everything still looks "natural" or fairly normal to the audience, though.[[/note]]
151	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' [[note]]The franchise as a whole. Most of the bestiary in the games seem out of place (if not bearing no resemblance to real life animals, plants or objects at all) to make them implausible in real life, and Mario himself absorbs mushrooms, flowers, and more to gain new powers. The series is still very understandable, and the grand majority of people will understand it very clearly.[[/note]]
152	[[/folder]]
153
154	[[folder: Level 2]]
155	* ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'' [[note]]A lot of the weird elements are mitigated since the series is shown to take place in an old computer game. The cast members are quirky but not too weird, though a few are weirder by design alone, such as Zooble. The plot is easily understandable: Pomni finds herself in the titular Circus run by the wacky AI Caine, who forces its inhabitants to go on adventures, and she hopes to find a way out while interacting with the other residents of the circus. Some of the weirder elements include: [[spoiler:people who have gone off the deep end turning into large, shadowy blobs with eyes all over]], a sequence where Pomni finds multiple unconnected things in doors, and a scene towards the end, where [[spoiler:Pomni goes insane trying to find an exit in an office building which seems to never end.]] Nothing extremely bizzare, though, and once again, justified due to it taking place in a video game.[[/note]]
156	* ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' [[note]]At first, the game gets up to a light 1 due to there not being that much weird stuff, and the weird things that do happen is justified by it being a dream. It gets up here later on due to the darker elements that come into play, which is still explained by the game being in dreams, such as [[spoiler:a shadowy monster with a horrifying NightmareFace that represents the protagonist's abusive father figure]], and the ending questions [[spoiler:whether the real life is a dream or not]]. Despite creepier stuff like this, it doesn't get too weird, and the plot and gameplay is straightforward.[[/note]]
157	* ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' [[note]]Could potentially be a 1 thanks to the concept of ghosts haunting animatronics; however, the lore and elements of the series get more complex as it goes on, including the concept of Remnant, which explains how an antagonist won't stay dead despite being burned multiple times after death, put it at this level. The plots of the games are generally simple, where you work as a security guard in a pizzeria and have to defend against the haunted animatronics (though some shake up the formula). That is for the surface plots; the lore, on the other hand, is a bit more tricky to grasp.[[/note]]
158	* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' [[note]]You play as a blue-haired rapper who speaks in beeps and boops. You rap against others to win your girlfriend over; simple enough, so far. Then we have a man-eating lemon monster who sings creepy songs about eating and mutilating the protagonists, and the two also get trapped in a DatingSim game which a ghost was sealed in. And, somehow, a bunch of other Website/{{Newgrounds}} characters are connected to this. It's still fairly simple, though.[[/note]]
159	* ''VideoGame/MySingingMonsters'' [[note]]The game is about a variety of monsters who play their part of a song on different islands. It's at level 2 since the designs of some of the monster can get pretty weird, but they only sing, play an instrument, or contribute to the song in another way.[[/note]]
160	* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' [[note]]Living plants with fantastical abilities fight a horde of zombies, with some types of zombies having fantastical abilities of their own. Your neighbor means well, but is very crazy, wearing a pot for a hat and selling you bacon. There isn't anything too weird, though.[[/note]]
161	* ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}'' [[note]]Maxwell can create pretty much [[DevelopersForesight anything]] with his notebook. The concept is simple enough, but all of the possibilities that you can write may lead to some rather strange stuff on occasion, such as a rainbow winged necromantic supersonic kindhearted elephant.[[/note]]
162	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' [[note]]It's a show about an anthropomorphic sponge that most people, including children, understand very well, but the wide amount of fantastic elements and weird moments push it up here. Most of it is played for comedy (e.g. random bursts of live-action), though some are more played for horror (e.g. the "Alone" scene in "SB-129"). Special mention goes to the episode, "Squidward in Clarinetland", which becomes a 6 after Squidward enters the locker. This would be even higher if not for the grand majority of the plots being easy to understand.[[/note]]
163	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' [[note]]The majority of the cast are aliens known as "Gems" who are actually HardLight projections, and the titular character is half-human, half-gem. Nevertheless, it's still fairly comprehensible, except for a few moments, like the events of "Cat Fingers", and astral projection being explored in at least one episode.[[/note]]
164	* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[note]]Various fantastical creatures (skeletons, living fish, anthropomorphic goats etc.) live in an underground society. They mostly act like normal people with their own personalities, some quirkier than others. The monsters you encounter range from simple frogs to planes that act like {{Tsundere}}s. Most of it is in good fun, and a lot of the weirder elements are humorous, but some, such as the mystery behind W.D. Gaster, aren't. The plot is understandable: a human child of AmbiguousGender falls into the Underground and has to find their way out, encountering a lot of monsters along the way. Some of the meta elements border on 3, since depending on what route you take (spare all of the monsters, kill all of the monsters, or somewhere in between), the game will play out differently, and may sometimes deconstruct the elements of traditional video games.[[/note]]
165	** ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' [[note]]Is at this level by extension, as it's based on UT. It features many of the same characters and some new ones, but the plot and setting are different. You are another ambiguously-gendered human who lives in a friendly town, and you discover various "Dark Worlds" with a purple lizard bully and a friendly goat mage. As with the ''Undertale'', there are a lot of eccentric characters, such as a clown/jester who believes that he is free and the rest of the world is behind bars, despite being in a jail cell, a robotic queen who capitalizes all of her words and doesn't use punctuation, and a crazed salesman who often uses hyperlinks in his speech while trying to sell you items, and has a mysterious past, as well.[[/note]]
166	* ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' [[note]]Technicolor humanoid beings crash land in a mysterious dimension. You are in control of one who can flip up and down. The amount of GravityScrew and the space-inspired atmosphere makes it reach at least this level; nonetheless, the plot is understandable, being that you must rescue your crewmates after the crash, and maybe collect some trinkets on the way, too. Game mechanics are somewhat easy to follow (though it can get quite [[NintendoHard difficult]] at times, though some of it is optional), and nothing ''too'' out-of-place is in the game... except for the Sad Elephant, which is probably only there due to being from the creator's dream journals.[[/note]]
167	* ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'' [[note]]The first part is a 0, being a fairly realistic high-school drama about lesbians. The second part gets weirder: [[spoiler: since the setting is in DreamWorld, anything can happen. We have a blue-haired girl with bead eyes and a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} unique train of thought]], a girl who can change her head, characters having the ability to change shape at will, a girl with a swirl for an eye ruling the land in her castle guarded by bears, and constant {{Art Shift}}s.]] There is an understandable overarching plot for this part, focusing on [[spoiler:Fiona searching for Lia after they are separated]], but the [[spoiler:dream elements]] make this part at least a 3. It's been balanced out at 2.[[/note]]
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder: Level 3]]
171	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' [[note]]A boy and his shape-shifting dog go on adventures in the post-apocalyptic land of Ooo. On one hand, the characters can be quirky (a lemon-headed being who often screams and is known for his erratic behavior, a sentient video game console with a wild imagination, and more), but are fairly understandable. On the other hand, the show is known for being weird, with the characters frequently being placed in bizarre and outlandish events. Most plots are understandable, though, and a lot of the weirdness is played for humor. However, there are a few moments and episodes that go beyond the show's standard level of weirdness, such as "King Worm", where Finn and Jake are brainwashed by the titular character and experience surreal visions, and "A Glitch is a Glitch", which is animated in 3D and features reality breaking apart thanks to the Ice King letting a virus loose on the world.[[/note]]
172	* ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie'' [[note]]Various cartoon characters are placed in outlandish situations with varying degrees of weirdness. It's all PlayedForLaughs.[[/note]]
173	* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' [[note]]A lot of gruesome and mysterious oddities happen during the game's [[CerebusSyndrome second act]], though it's justified since it's [[spoiler:Monika, who is tinkering with the game's script and making the game seem like that.]] The plot is fairly understandable, at least.[[/note]]
174	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' [[note]]Most of it deals with creatures that probably would be at level 2, or even reach level 3 at some points. However, the situations get weirder as the series continues, and a floating triangular demon named Bill Cipher brings his own share of weirdness, especially in the series finale, "Weirdmaggedon", which is around level 4.[[/note]]
175	* ''VideoGame/{{Ib}}'' [[note]]The plot is straightforward: a girl gets lost in an art museum and has to escape. Things get strange from the very beginning, when she stumbles upon a parallel dimension that resembles the real world at first, only to delve into an odd dimension where various forms of art exist, with some being sentient and/or hostile. The final area is a world where everything is made of drawings.[[/note]]
176	* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' [[note]]You play as the eponymous pink puffball, who can fly and inhale foes to gain their powers, which grant you all sorts of crazy abilities. This would normally sit under a 2, but what brings this up a level is the inclusion of rather bizarre things, ''especially'' the final bosses, which are usually a dark contrast with the cheery exterior of the games.[[/note]]
177	* ''Webcomic/{{Minus}}'' [[note]]The title character is a reality-warping girl who uses her powers to cause mischief or help people. Besides her, her influence, and the presence of ghosts, the world is pretty normal. The comic is at this level due to the constant bizarre and outlandish things minus's imagination produces.[[/note]]
178	* No Through Road [[note]]A horror web series that gets up here for the mysterious, but fairly comprehensible looping roads, radio song, and appearances of the masked man. The first three installments fall under this; meanwhile, the fourth installment is a 5 due to the sudden (and confusing) inclusion of time travel elements.[[/note]]
179	* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' [[note]]You play as a boy named Sunny, and his dream alter-ego Omori. Omori's travels can get pretty weird, from the surreal landscapes of Headspace (including stuff like fighting a download window, turning into toast when you die etc.) to the psychological horrors of Black Space (much of which has a deeper connection to the story). Both are around 4, much like [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} their]] [[VideoGame/YumeNikki inspirations]]. Meanwhile, since Sunny is in the RealLife, nothing especially odd happens in his home of Faraway Town (except for some hallucinations, and continuous appearances of [[BigBad Something]]). The two are balanced to reach 3.[[/note]]
180	* ''VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper'' [[note]] The series averages here due to the wackiness of the world itself. We have a rapping dog who tries to win the affection of a flower, an onion who is a karate instructor, a driving instructor moose named after a dictator, a Jamaican frog who has been working in a flea market "since [his] mother was a baby", and a lot of more - all of whom are [[PaperPeople paper-thin]]. Nonetheless, the plots are easy to follow: the first game involves [=PaRappa=] trying to get with his love interest Sunny Funny, and while the second game's more outlandish plot about [=PaRappa=] and his friends having to stop a worldwide noodle invasion lands it at 4, it's played for laughs and is still easily followable regardless.[[/note]]
181	* ''VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}}'' [[note]]The game starts out at 1, focusing on the adventures of a young witch and her familiars. Most of the sea animal characters are all anthropomorphic, the characters use magical spells, and the biggest threat they have to stop is an invasion from another kingdom... [[spoiler:that is, until the traitor reveals himself. Everything goes to hell after that, with the sea turning black and red, skeletal fish-like creatures taking the place of regular enemies, wandering through passages with tons of eyes, and the title character briefly going into a dream sequence where ''everyone'' is dead.]] This part is a 4; after this sequence; everything goes back to 1 again. Overall, it's balanced at this level.[[/note]]
182	[[/folder]]
183
184	[[folder: Level 4]]
185	* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' [[note]]At first glance, a fairly typical and humorous SliceOfLife show. There are lots of exaggerated expressions that would probably land this at a 2. Then, there's Chiyo-Chichi, a floating anthropomorphic cat who appears out of nowhere and is able to talk, a bunch of weird and messed up moments with [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Osaka]], and things that may seem unfamiliar to viewers in the West. With all of the weirdness that follows, the series probably goes no higher than this.[[/note]]
186	* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' [[note]]Each episode starts with an inanimate object "teacher" singing to the three puppets about a subject, like creativity or the Internet. Then, the insanity happens. It ranges from surreal 3D images of the characters dancing around, to more gruesome stuff such as flesh cakes. And that's not even getting into Episode 6, when we find out the truth about the Teachers and the whole series...[[/note]]
187	* ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound\|1994}}'' [[note]]You're a normal boy in a seemingly normal world. Then, you get attacked by [[EverythingTryingToKillYou dogs, alien invaders, mushrooms, dinosaurs, huge robots, cultists, ghosts, piles of sludge, and even]] ''[[EverythingTryingToKillYou trees]]''. You also find talking sesame seeds, a guy who likes to photograph you just about anywhere, a city where [[MindScrew reality gets flipped on its head]], a valley of humanoid creatures who have "boing" as a VerbalTic, and many more. That being said, the plot is fairly simple, being about you working your way through many lands to save the world from an evil force, Giygas. Except when you get to him, the game gets bizarre again, and [[NightmareFuel not in a lighthearted way...]][[/note]]
188	* ''WebAnimation/{{ENA}}'' [[note]]The main character is styled after designs of some of the more surreal artists in history (like Creator/PabloPicasso), and has two different personalities signified by the changing of her face. Her best friend is a floating, talking moon, and together, they travel very surreal landscapes that look like they came out of ''VideoGame/LSDDreamEmulator''. Plots are usually straightforward, though sometimes they are presented in a more abstract manner.[[/note]]
189	* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' [[note]]A bunch of very quirky characters, among them a half-demon boy obsessed with insects, a dancing fish man, a warlock whose power source is sweet foods, and a rich girl with a crush on {{Satan}} himself, settle all their disputes by playing a puzzle game where they arrange and eliminate cute blobs called Puyos. A number of characters regularly use magic spells during Puyo matches, but it's otherwise a mundane setting. The games mostly have clear plots, usually involving the characters having to go find and stop some threat.[[/note]]
190	* ''Franchise/SilentHill'' [[note]]Plots are usually straightforward, usually with a character ending up in the eponymous town and having to face monsters, sometimes inner demons. However, the psychological horror elements put this up here, and there are a lot of unexpected scares that come out of nowhere (like the digital, distorted yelling in the Historical Society/prison from the [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 second game]], or the red light in the Borley Haunted Mansion from the [[VideoGame/SilentHill3 third game]]); it's all part of the series' nature. The locations do look fairly normal, though, except in the [[DarkWorld Otherworld]].[[/note]]
191	* ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' [[note]]A spinoff of ''VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper'' that is somehow much weirder. The entire plot occurs in at least 15 minutes and involves Lammy having to get to a show on time. Along the way, she gets into a series of mishaps that bizarrely last only a minute or 2 despite it taking longer in-game: she helps a firefighting dalmatian put out a fire, then eats too much pizza and is MistakenForPregnant by a caterpillar nurse who takes her in to put bunny babies to sleep, and then she gets sucked into a plane which she needs to fly because the pilot, now absent-minded due to various concussions, can't do it anymore. Lammy does these by imagining things, ranging from hoses to babies, as guitars upon hearing the word "casino" due to a motto she heard from Chop Chop Master Onion in a dream. After she leaves her guitar on the plane and crafts a new one with the help of a lumberjack beaver, she slips on a banana peel, ''dying and going to hell'' (or being slingshotted to an island in the American version), where she has to perform for a strange alien IdolSinger. She eventually leaves and makes it to the concert on time, but not before encountering a darker doppelganger of her. The final stage isn't as crazy as the rest of the game, as it focuses on Lammy performing with her band [=MilkCan=] at the concert. Borders on level 5 due to its rapid and bizarre style of presentation, but otherwise it's comprehensible enough to remain at level 4.[[/note]]
192	* ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'' [[note]]Very weird stuff. A lot of is justified because the game is AllJustADream, and there are some normal stuff in the dreams, too. This still doesn't explain stuff like Uboa or the entirety of the Stairwell area.[[/note]]
193	[[/folder]]
194
195	[[folder: Level 5]]
196	* ''WebAnimation/TheDementedCartoonMovie'' [[note]]Played for humor; pretty much anything can happen on a whim, much of it barely makes any sense, and there isn't an overarching plot save for some shared characters and {{Running Gag}}s, along with the two guys watching the movie. Such examples include a CartoonBomb that causes a nuclear explosion after saying "zeeky boogy doog", a googly-eyed watermelon that flies in at random with a fanfare, a weight that crushes anything for no apparent reason, and much more. It's not at level 6 due to the whole meta aspect and most of the segments themselves being pretty understandable despite the wacky randomness that occurs.[[/note]]
197	* ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle'' [[note]]The game starts out normal, with our main protagonist Yonaka getting lost and happening upon the titular castle. However, once we get in, things get weird: its main inhabitants are Mogekos, yellow cat-like beings with an creepy obsession with young girls, except for a few who help you along the way. The interior of the castle itself contains bizarre passageways that logically wouldn't exist in a real-life version of the castle, with weird sights such as passages floating in mid-air with Mogekos bouncing around everywhere, and a cloud-like area with lots of chickens. The plot is straightforward, with it focusing on Yonaka trying to escape the castle, but the two main endings get weird and dark, especially the "True" ending.[[/note]]
198	* ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}'' [[note]]Many characters break the fourth wall; the residents of the Zones are InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals who breathe smoke, extract meat from cows, walk on metal floating in liquid plastic, and are terribly addicted to sugar; you can meet a giant floating whale in a balcony; "purifying" essentially means "massacring everything in sight"; and, apparently, your son is also [[spoiler:your creator]]. It would be higher if the plot elements weren't treated as natural, along with the presence of fairly normal things, such as the player character resembling a baseball player.[[/note]]
199	* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' [[note]]The plot is fairly simple: two less-than-heavenly angels have been booted about of Heaven, and must collect "Heaven Coins" to get back in. But when the first episode is about fighting a colossal ghost made of ''human waste'', you know you're in for something weird. That's not getting into facts like the [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim GIR]] {{expy}} actually being a ghost in disguise, all of the sexual references thrown in, and ''especially'' the GainaxEnding.[[/note]]
200	* ''Anime/PopeeThePerformer'' [[note]]The series focuses on the titular Popee, a human-rabbit thing who lives in a circus with his assistant Kedamono (a blue wolf with infinitely changing masks), and, later on, his father Papi. What occurs in the shorts is understandable to a certain degree, but it is presented in a style of complete insanity, often due to Popee's psychotic behavior and the dynamics and abilities between the three (two in Season 1). More often than not, one or more of the characters dies at the end of the episode, there is destruction and violence galore, and there a bunch of bizarre occurrences. Some examples: what seems to be a mirage turning out to be a portal to an actual place which floods the desert when Popee somehow whips out a giant sword and throws it at the portal, Popee becoming a fly thanks to his spirit being sucked in a vacuum with the insect, a giant wolf summoning a barrage of [=WW2=]-era jets on the cast, Popee swallowing Kedamono (who somehow fits into his stomach) and then a sword, causing both of them to get impaled, and much more.[[/note]]
201	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rejected}}'' [[note]]The film focuses on failed commercials. The "commercials" themselves are very surreal, to the point of some not resembling commercials at all. The film gets more bizarre as it progresses, and it literally falls apart at the end.[[/note]]
202	[[/folder]]
203
204	[[folder: Level 6]]
205	* ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse'' [[note]]The story about a mentally disabled dog with a dictator alter ego. There is a plot but it's presented with such insanity that it can be hard to grasp what's going on, save for a few moments of lucidity. The final episode dials back the weirdness a bit by having Alfred's dictator side explain things about the Playhouse, why it exists, why Alfred is in it, and how he came to be, but is just as dark as the other two.[[/note]]
206	* The music video for "Gantz Graf" by Music/{{Autechre}}. [[note]]A VERY SurrealMusicVideo, combined with all of the SensoryAbuse in the song, puts this here.[[/note]]
207	* ''VideoGame/LSDDreamEmulator'' [[note]]All you know is that you're dreaming, and you explore your dreams. However, what's actually ''in'' the dreams is truly bizarre, even for any kind of dream.[[/note]]
208	* ''VideoGame/RevengeOfTheSunfish'' [[note]]The only things in these game that remotely make any sense are the beginning and ending, which tie into a story of an alien invasion of sunfish from outer space being put to a halt. Everything in between is complete randomness with no connection to each other, sometimes with segments lasting barely a few seconds before moving onto the next.[[/note]]
209	* ''YoutubePoop'' [[note]]A case in which this is played for humor, as YTP's main source of humor is twisting and messing up a source as much as possible. There are some videos with apparent plots, like ''WebAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasWhoSkellingtonsRevenge'', that get lower, though.[[/note]]
