'''Basic Trope''': There is a situation which, when described, sounds so strange that it's close to being a NoodleIncident, but when properly described it ends up making logical sense.
* '''Straight''': In ''Troper Heroes'', [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Bob]] beat [[BigBad General Evulz]] with [[BlowYouAway the ability to create wind]] and a specially written document. That's it. As it turned out, the ink was poison, so Bob burned the paper and directed a breeze at Evulz.
* '''Exaggerated''': The defeat of Evulz [[NoodleImplements involved puppies, a bag of nuts, and Bob's ability to create wind,]] and the falling apart of the fortress which resulted in a giant egg that hatched into a dragon emerging from the rubble after. Evulz is allergic to nuts, [[KickTheDog the puppies were a distraction]]. During the attack of allergy after, Evulz accidentally hit the collapse switch, causing a magic gem to get knocked over and hit an egg, transforming it to the dragon egg.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob beat Evulz with wind powers. There were a lot of fumes in the area of the fight, allowing Bob to take control of the fight easily.
* '''Justified''': The ending isn't always as reliable as the beginning.
* '''Inverted''':
** MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext ("It Still Doesn't Make Sense in Context")
** Bob beat General Evulz with [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]]. As it turned out, he melted the ceiling above Evulz, causing a piece to fall on him.
* '''Subverted''': As it turned out Bob brought a {{BFG}} to the fight, so his victory over Evulz isn't as confusing.
* '''Double Subverted''': But the gun was broken beforehand, so the most use it got was as a bludgeon.
* '''Parodied''': The conclusion is so confusing [[TakeOurWordForIt only the characters hear it and they look a small push away from a madhouse visit.]] After it's explained how we reach the conclusion, it turns out the explanation was so potent and logical it cured everybody who listened of mental problems.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The plot seems to make no sense at first, then it all gets explained, [[VoodooShark but the explanation for why that happened makes even less sense than what just happened]].
* '''Averted''':
** The ending makes sense in the first place.
** MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext ("Nothing Makes Sense in Context")
* '''Enforced''': The author finds easily-explained plots to be boring.
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "Right, everybody, explain what happened in the future, because that made ''no'' sense at all without the explanation."
** ARareSentence
* '''Invoked''': Bob wants to give himself a sense of grandeur because he only has rather lame powers compared to the rest, so he develops a convoluted way to end Evulz so it will be notable.
* '''Exploited''': Bob uses his confusing victory to scare away others who might cause trouble, lest they invoke the wrath of "the man who [[OnceKilledAManWithANoodleImplement killed Evulz with a piece of paper]]."
* '''Defied''': "Right, I'm just gonna say I poisoned him."
* '''Discussed''':
-->'''Bob''': LetMeGetThisStraight, you wound up naked in the desert because you were attacked by three peanut butter ninja land-squids after you stole a magical orb from them, and you needed the orb because you lost a bet to a Crime-Lord?\\
'''Alice''': [[BluntYes Yup.]]
* '''Conversed''': "Wow, good luck explaining that ending to anyone [[ContinuityLockout without having to go over the first three seasons]]."
