Line #22 BeyondTheImpossible/Webcomics


1	Events in Webcomics that are not possible. '''Only list examples that fit this description.'''
2
3	* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater:''
4	** Glorious Chainsaw Method. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the comic by Black Mage. ''Make your swords unto chainsaws''. It wasn't possible but he did it anyway.
5	** How do you make an [[TheOmnipotent omnipotent wizard]] go "What."? You DualWield ''[[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/01/27/episode-1087-exalted-feat long bows]]'', and then you dual wield the dual wield.
6	** Black Mage's Evilness. When the representation of all of your sins is yourself, because nothing else was quite up to the task, and yet you manage to be even WORSE than it, then RAPE IT, and EAT IT...
7	*** Black Mage's [[TheFaceless face]] does not conform to euclidian geometry and would drive to madness [[BrownNote all who see it.]] This means its appearance defies the laws of reality.
8	** Also, Thief steals his own class change. From the future. At the worst moment possible, to boot. He can also fill an infinite bag of holding and steal riches that don't even exist.
9	** Fighter uses this trope to prevent the Light Warriors from dying after a long fall. How? He blocked the ground ''with his sword''. Don't ask him how he did it; somehow it will make sense. His reasoning is that he can block fire, water and air attacks to prevent the damage (this being Final Fantasy 1) so there's no reason why blocking [[{{Pun}} Earth]] wouldn't work as well. See? It totally makes sense!
10	** Black Belt's [[NoSenseOfDirection sense of direction]] breaks the laws of time and/or physics on a regular basis. For instance, crossing a tightrope that's only taut because he's holding one end of it. In another case, while walking down a hallway that has no turns and no doors, he gets so lost that he breaks the quantum barrier of the multiverse and generates a clone of himself that is from either one half second in the past or one half second in the future.
11	* ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' broke the impossible way back when they encountered a SolveTheSoupCans puzzle so utterly impenetrable and difficult that [[spoiler: the protagonist was forced to reload from a save-state made ''after'' the puzzle was completed.]]
12	---> "Shit is more real than it has ever been or possibly ever can be."
13	* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}:''
14	** Jade promises [[spoiler:Echidna]] to complete an impossible task: [[spoiler:to bring all the lands, denizens, consorts, and everything else with her when the kids escape the universe and the Scratch.]] At the end of act 5, [[spoiler:after reaching the god-tiers]], Jade [[spoiler:shrinks the planets themselves into convenient travel-size,]] and {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}s that the "impossible" is now ''trivial''.
15	** Cans can literally punch people into next week. He then punches someone into the next calendar year.
16	** Sollux Captor hacks Doc Scratch's ''typewriter''.
17	** Dirk's Autoresponder claims to have calculated the final digit of pi (four, apparently), a mathematical impossibility. Subverted when Dirk points out that it's making stuff up to screw with him.
18	** During the end of Act 6 Part 3, [[spoiler: Lord English kills the doomed versions of the Beta Kids and Post Scratch trolls and, for lack of a better word, breaks the afterlife.]] Absolutely no one is immune to being killed off by Hussie. [[spoiler:[[RageAgainstTheAuthor Not even]] [[AuthorAvatar Hussie]] [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou himself.]]]]
19	** Dave has a RunningGag of breaking swords. During [S] Colide [[spoiler:he breaks the Unbreakable Katana.]]
20	* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'': David wanted a way to climb a cliff without actually ''climbing''. So he shouted [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c33/p6.html "SUPERRRR PANELLLL TELEPORT!"]] and was suddenly on top of the cliff. He was surprised it worked.
21	* Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick:
22	** TalkingIsAFreeAction in the [[RPGMechanicsVerse setting.]] This is the basis for jokes. However, Vaarsuvius manages to take up a turn by saying something "particularly verbose".
23	** Talking strategy to Xykon can put the undead sorcerer to sleep.
24	--->'''Xykon:''' Oh, sorry, I just fell asleep right in the middle of that.\
25	'''Redcloak:''' You're a lich, you're actually physically incapable of sleeping.\
26	'''Xykon:''' Which should just emphasize how boring that was.
27	* Larisa in ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'':
28	--> '''[[SadistTeacher PE Teacher]]''': "Larisa, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/02/13/0350-blackmail/ stop violating the laws of gravity]] in my class!"
29	* ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' uses this trope to explain why Chihiro is the unofficial president of the Wibsy (''Weirdo Boyfrend & Supernatural Stalker'' club): using Christine words "It's hard to trump dating a ''river''." The others have at least ''human-shaped'' (a [[TheFairFolk fae,]] a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost,]] and a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] amongst others. Christine with her murderous deformed psycho is the most normal of them all.) boyfriends/stalkers, so this is impossible by their standards. [[spoiler: in her defense, the river ''was'' in the form of a human boy that looked her age at the time she fell for him.]]
30	* Talerdo can travel Webcomic/PlanetaAbsurdo by violating time-space laws and travel long distances with only one step because he has NoSenseOfDirection.
31	* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'': A scientific impossiblity is achieved when GadgeteerGenius Scarlet makes a perpetual motion engine out of a [[strike:Slinky]] [[BlandNameProduct Slanky]]
32	* ''Webcomic/VGCats'' shows Aeris ''aborting Leo from time'' but that's not what qualifies for this. What qualifies for this is that he '''[[UnexplainedRecovery recovered from it.]]'''
33	* ''Webcomic/LegendOfTheHunter'': Gwydian routinely accomplishes the impossible by demonstrating flagrant disregard for InUniverse laws of reality.
34	* ''Webcomic/MountainTime'': There was even a time when Helen Hunt killed more people than live on Earth, [[UnexplainedRecovery and they all came back to life by the next strip.]]
35	* ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'': It was stressed that the Master Stars [[MediumAwareness can not change the angle they are viewed from and are unaffected by shading or photoshop effects,]] even remaining the same during [[ArtShift art shifts.]] [[spoiler: In his very first appearance, Dark Star manages to not only fade them into the page, but make them glow and turn them.]]
36	* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': At one point, Sam and Helix go to return an authorized (as in, legally produced) autographed (as in, signed by the creator) copy of the Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial. Creator/GeorgeLucas considers the film such an OldShame that he's taken steps to ensure that it will never be legally produced while he's still alive to sign it.
37	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
38	** During the stick-figure filler week in chapter 35, there happens a blackout so massive that it becomes dark during the day.
39	** Riff's defence after his EpicFail in [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/060624 trying to ride a motorcycle,]] sending it hurtling backwards through the air: "Okay, in my defense, that was physically impossible."
40	* ''Webcomic/CycleOfLuv'': In one strip, a teacher mentions that, somehow, after [[ExtremeOmnisexual making love to a tree]], a student managed to become pregnant.
41	* In the ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'' strip "Jute", a woman gets so carried away with Japanese rope bondage that she ties up and immobilises herself too. She's also tied up everyone who could have helped her get loose... including {{God}}.
42	* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxHound'' takes Revolver Ocelot's already ImprobableAimingSkills and dials them up twice-over, to the point he's able to do ludicrously impossible things like shoot someone ''through'' their HumanShield without hitting said human shield or hit a target while aiming away from it. Putting the barrel in his mouth, firing, and ''still hitting his target'' is enough to get a SpitTake [[http://www.doctorshrugs.com/foxhound/comic.php?id=267 out of Sniper Wolf]].
43	* ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'': The EnlightenmentSuperpowers of Royalty allow this InUniverse. Someone who has obtained True Royalty has obtained a state where the laws of Creation no longer apply to them or whatever they pour their effort into doing through an act of sheer, unstoppable will (which presupposes one's [[AchievementsInIgnorance complete inability to recognize that what you're doing is impossible in the first place]]). Most famously, the goddess Aesma once got so angry she picked up Creation itself (while still inside it) and beat the Red-Eyed King into submission with it, despite how this was obviously impossible (and acknowledged as such by everyone witnessing it).
