I'm surprised no one mentioned The Goon Show - the inspiration for Monty Python. Or The Goodies or Welcome to Nightvale, also mad mishmashes of nonsensical fun.

That line in Zero Punctuation always baffled me, because even without playing the game, the context seemed pretty clear. Enemies are charging, and the borderline sociopathic woman-child has a giant crossbow. It's not exactly rocket science.
That said, the line works quite well for a page quote.

Didn't we completely can the old It Makes Sense in Context page for being filled with these sorts of examples? I thought that these weird sorts of examples were distinctly what we didn't want on TV Tropes
Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.
How about 'Even with Context' as the page name. (Inspired by reddit though) goo.gl/sTuwN7
Doesn't the Big-Lipped Alligator Moment page cover this already?

The last I though, Big-Lipped Alligator Moment was supposed to be a sub-trope that referred to a specific moment instead of any terrible weirdness that lasted longer too.
How is there no Comic Books category for this? The Silver Age comics, and Superdickery are filled with plenty of examples of this.
For everyone that makes sense in context, there are 2 or 3 of these.
Linking to a past Trope Repair Shop thread that dealt with this page: Needs more targeted examples, maybe better description
