History Main / LogicalExtreme

* BandOfRelatives": ''Everyone'' in the band is related.

* RevolvingDoorBand: A band goes through entire lineups on a regular basis. Several groups (Menudo, the Oak Ridge Boys and the Blackwood Brothers) fit this description.

* BandOfRelatives": ''Everyone'' in the band is related.

** In StarWars, Naboo takes it to a different extreme by making all their rulers teenagers (they ''retire'' at twenty.)\\

Compare ExaggeratedTrope, which means, in short words, "Illogical Extreme".

* The LogicalExtreme of BrokeTheRatingScale is when a reviewer refuses to assign a rating at all. There are a number if examples of that on the trope page, often when the reviewer finds the work downright repulsive or otherwise not worthy of a rating.

* The LogicalExtreme of AChildShallLeadThem would ''seem'' to be a monarch crowned at birth, which has happened (the most recent example is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_XIII_of_Spain King Alfonso XIII of Spain]]). However, the Sassanid Empire set the LogicalExtreme to ''in utero'' coronations; [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapur_II King Shapur II]] is the only monarch known to be crowned ''before he was born'' (the crown was placed on his mother's belly).\\
Meanwhile, in StarWars, Naboo takes it to a different extreme by making all their rulers teenagers (they ''retire'' at twenty.)\\
And then there's TeenageWasteland, where there are no adults to lead at all.

* The LogicalExtreme of RevolvingDoorBand is a band that ends up going through entire lineups. Several groups (Menudo, the Oak Ridge Boys and the Blackwood Brothers) fit this description.

* Arguably the Logical Extreme of ConvictionByContradiction (where the "evidence" is very flimsy or easily explained away) is ConvictionByCounterfactualClue (where the "evidence" is simply contrary to known facts).

* The LogicalExtreme of IAmTheBand is when an artist performs under AGoodNameForARockBand and plays all instruments and writes all songs associated with that band him- or herself. This is quite common.

* The LogicalExtreme of a LongRunnerLineUp would be a band that lasts for several decades then breaks up entirely without ever changing its lineup. ZZTop and {{U2}} are on their way to becoming this (both bands are still extant, so they're not this yet). The closest we've got is {{Queen}}, which was pretty much kaput after Freddy Mercury died 20 years after the band was formed.

* The LogicalExtreme of FaceOfTheBand is when fans think the name of the band is that of said face--in short, the musical version of IAmNotShazam.

* The LogicalExtreme of LampshadeHanging is BetterThanABareBulb, where LampshadeHanging becomes a central part of the work.

* The Logical Extremes of ReclusiveArtist:

* The LogicalExtreme of "Band of Relatives" is when ''everyone'' in the band is related.

* [[ManicStreetPreachers Richey James Edwards]] and B. Traven take ReclusiveArtist to different extremes.
** Richey Edwards was declared LegallyDead in 2008 (having been missing since 1995).
** Scholars are pretty sure B. Traven died in 1969 and that he was male. As for where and when he was born, what his real name was, or ''whether the original language of his books was German or English'', on the other hand...

Note that sometimes a trope can have more than one LogicalExtreme that fit the trope in different ways. For example, the {{Logical Extreme}}s of ReclusiveArtist include artists who haven't been seen in years and artists whose identities are unknown.

*** TheResidents are even more unknown. Nobody has a ''clue'' who they are.

Extra BonusPoints if the LogicalExtreme is a trope in and of itself.

* The LogicalExtreme of AChildShallLeadThem would be a monarch crowned before he or she was born--which was the case with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapur_II King Shapur II of the Sassanid Empire]]. A couple of other kings, such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_XIII_of_Spain King Alfonso XIII of Spain]], came close by being declared King upon their birth.

* The LogicalExtreme of BrokeTheRatingScale is when a reviewer refuses to assign a rating at all. There are at least five examples of that on the trope page.

Some tropes have a logical extreme that fits neatly within the description of the trope and requires no exaggeration. For many such tropes, examples of their extreme do exist (BonusPoints if its a MostTriumphantExample). For obvious reasons, this cannot be used on SubjectiveTropes.
