8	->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Lincoln Loud]]''': "Hold on a second. There were twelve people packed into that van and none of them noticed that I was missing?"
9	->'''Lisa Loud''': "Given how uncharacteristically spiteful we've been acting up to this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we left you behind on purpose. Though that still wouldn't explain how our parental units would fail to notice our absence."
10	->''[...]''
11	->'''Luna Loud''': "See? He said we had to turn the van around. If we were coming ''back'' from the park, the rest stop would be in ''front'' of us, not behind us!"
12	->'''Lucy Loud''': "Well, unless we had already passed the rest stop again by the time Lincoln made that call."
13	->'''Luna''': "Oh, right... ''({{Beat}})'' ... Wait, no, that would make even ''less'' sense! How could we have spent an entire day at the park without noticing that Lincoln was missing?!"

16	->'''[[Characters/GravityFallsDipperPines Dipper Pines]]''': “I have so many questions about how… everything works! Like spider breath in general! How is the griffin producing a separate living creature?! That should be biologically impossible!”
17	->'''[[Characters/TheOwlHouseEdaClawthorne Eda Clawthorne]]''': “Symbiotic relationship between the griffin and a colony of spiders.”
18	->'''Dipper''': “…but that raises so many more questions.”

24	->'''Mrs. Claus''': "Harold is a real person, Papa. Real people look different from year to year."
25	->'''Santa''': "You know what's going on here, don't you? Harold's parents are trying to trick me into believing in him!"

40	'''Magneto''': Oh, that. Well, you see, that wasn't me.\
41	'''Wolverine''': Oh really now?\
42	'''Magneto''': It was actually Xorn's twin brother, possessed by the sentient mold Sublime, pretending to be me, pretending to be Xorn.

60	->'''Layton''': As I suspected, what appears to be a larger than average dog is actually a hologram projected from an orbital satellite.\
61	'''Luke''': ...Huh?\
62	'''Layton''': The dozens of people we have met claiming to have pet the dog are actually paid actors.\
63	'''Luke''': But WE pet the big dog too!\
64	'''Layton''': Only because our tea was laced with powerful hallucinogens in concert with hypnotic suggestion.\
65	'''Luke''': That's... Why would anyone do this?\
66	'''Layton''': The culprit appears to be preying on local superstitions of the Legendary Big Dog as part of an elaborate ploy to make one of his neighbors jealous.\
67	'''Luke''': ...I... uh. [[OccamsRazor I think it would be much more plausible for there to just be a large dog.]]

73	->''She set up a revenge plan for somebody who she hasn’t even met yet? Argh! This script is such mouldy old dick cheese! It's so badly written it has me physically attacking my keyboard to slate it!''

76	->''Then we finally get an actual explanation for why the Federation is working with [[ObviouslyEvil our plastic surgery addicted villains]]: The Head-Staplers have the technology to harvest [[{{Unobtainium}} whatever the hell is in the rings]], and the Federation doesn't. Since the planet is in Federation territory, [[HeadInTheSandManagement a partnership was formed.]] We also learn that the harvesting will [[PlanetEater make the planet uninhabitable]]. And if the Head-Staplers just establish a colony of their own on the planet, it'll take ten years for the rings to begin to take effect. Is it just me, or is this script roughly 90% about plugging up all its own plot holes?''

79	->'''Chris:''' Lex doesn’t even have any reason to not like Clark now. The only thing that made him a bad person was Lionel and Clark [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds being dicks to him]] for his whole life. But now he has [[MindWipe NO MEMORY OF ANYTHING]]. He should be a decent guy!\
80	'''David''': Or a drooling invalid.\
81	'''Chris''': They’ve seriously taken away any reason he had to be evil, and just end up making him evil anyway. Like, it would actually be better if we got a scene where he finds a letter to himself that’s just a picture of Clark that says 'THIS GUY SUCKS' to explain it.

84	->''Hahaha, thank you, ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'', thank you for wrapping up this storyline in the most pointlessly absurd way possible. There’s nothing about this that I don’t adore. I love that the potential dramatic purpose of Mysterio’s [[LatexPerfection double-masking]] is undercut by the strip revealing the truth after only one panel, and I sincerely hope the reasons behind it are never discussed or even mentioned. I love the fact that the “Dash” Dashell mask is presumably fixed in that glum expression. I love that he’s got glasses perched on top of the mask, and that those glasses apparently have transition lenses. I love the weird grimace Beck is making as the mask comes off, which is actually the sort of face you’d make if you were wearing a fishbowl full of water over a latex mask.''
85	-->--'''''Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon''''', [[http://joshreads.com/?p=24146 "His hands are still yellow under the gloves! Are there multiple glove-layers too?"]]
86
87	->''Seriously. Totally. Even that time you saw him walk through motherfucking walls. That was just… [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic super-technology]]. Fucking hell, it’s like [[ExecutiveMeddling Marvel editorial]] wanted to solve the problem of a villain being convoluted and making no sense by seeing if they could get him to make even less sense.''

107	'''Spoony:''' He just did.\
108	'''Pat:''' [whining] ''But he can't!''\
109	'''Spoony:''' [admiringly] You heard the man! He "''doesn't care about the rules!''"\
110	'''Pat:''' ''That's'' not how it works! Are you sure it's holy ground?\
111	'''Spoony:''' Well, it has to be; there's monks with machine guns running around.\
112	'''Pat:''' Ah, I guess you're right. That makes se— [[DoubleTake HUH??]]

115	->'''Rich:''' As Theodore Rex explained, [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone all dinosaurs are mildly-psychic]] when it comes to other dinosaurs.\
116	'''Josh:''' I'm really glad you went back to pick up that plot detail, because the movie wouldn't make a lick of sense without it.\
117	'''Jack:''' Also, I don't want to brush over [[ARareSentence what Rich Evans has just said…]] [everyone guffaws] These are not just dinosaurs living in the future; ''they are psychic, talking dinosaurs.''\
118	'''Rich:''' That concept has no payoff other than it's his only motivation to go on the case.
