Basically, in this game, you present a premise and then must use the most ludicrous logic imaginable to defend it. You have two options: either 'prove' your own premise or post a premise for other posters to 'prove'. Here are two examples:

Premise: Saint Augustine is a ninja

  • His title is Saint Augustine of Hippo
  • Hippos fulfill the 3 criteria for being ninjas
    • 1. Ninjas are mammals: Hippos are mammals
    • 2. Ninjas fight all the time: Hippos are very aggressive
    • 3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people: Hippos have been known to flip out and kill people.
  • Ergo, hippos are ninjas
  • Since St Augustine is clearly a hippo, he must also be a ninja

Premise: Steve Irwin is more powerful than God

  • Nothing is more powerful than God
  • Anything is better than nothing
  • Goats will eat anything
  • Goats are livestock
  • Crocodiles eat livestock that comes too close to the river
  • Steve Irwin has never lost a wrestling match to a crocodile
  • Therefore: Steve Irwin > crocodiles > goats > anything > nothing > God

Here's a premise for others to follow up with:

Premise: The British Royal Family does not actually exist

The British Royal Family does not exist.

The British Royal Family hails from Britain.

Britain lost the American revolution.

Britain was led by the monarchy.

The monarchy was appointed by god.

QED God lost to America.

God therefore does not exist.

Therefore there never was a royal family.

This game is kinda fun.

Gravity does not exist

Please.

  • This law is Universal
  • Balloons never come down
  • If Balloons don't come down, then Gravity isn't universal, and therefore doesn't exist.

Simon Bolivar is really the Nostalgia Critic

Simon Bolivar founded a masonic lodge

Simon Bolivar is a Freemason

Nazis persecuted Freemasons

Nazis persecuted Jews

All Jews are Freemasons

All Freemasons are Jews

The Nostalgia Critic's website is on the Internet

Websites exist on the internet

QED Jes run intenet [sic]

Tv Trops is websit [sic]

Jews run Tv Tropes

Therefore, Tv Tropes is a Jewish Conspiracy

Since you are claiming to say that proof exists of a Jewish consipracy, a jewish conspiracy must exist. Jewish conspiracies are an idea dating back centuries, a century is hundred years. A year is 365 and 1/4 days, which is also the time it takes to circle the sun. The sun is a massive ball of hot plasma undergoing thermonuclear reactions. Nuclear explosions cause electromagnetic pulses. An electromagnetic pulse can wipe out all electronics withien its field of effect. This would cause blackouts and riots, as well as plane crashes. A plane crashed into the twin towers in a plot involving terrorists. Terrorists use guns, guns were used by the trenchcoat mafia, therefore, you intend to shoot up a school. I'm calling the police.

Neuschwanstein Castle is Really in Alberta, a Canadian province. Observe: "Neuschwanstein" is a German name. Germany was a European Empire. Europe is a Steampunk Centre. Steampunk is AWESOME!! Awesome describes— no wait, that's an error. Awesomeness is spread all over the world. The world's largest country is Russia. It held Alaska. Alaska borders Yukon Canada. Yukon Canada is less populated than Alberta. More People=more production. And Neuschwanstein was behind it all. Therefore, Neuschwanstein Castle is in Alberta, though come to think of it, Alberta could really be Manitoba, and they just mixed the two up...

Alright, not one page in, and we've already fallen out of practice.


Taepodong missiles at made of People!

Taepodong missiles are from Korea.

Korea contains HUMANS.

Humans are people.

People can explode.

Missiles also explode.

Ergo, the Taepodong Missiles must be made of people!

NEXT PREMISE: You Tube is run by Insectoid aliens from Europa.

You Tube has been taken over by Google+.

No human in their right mind would use Google+ so it must have been aliens.

Google has six letters in it.

Europa is the sixth closest moon to Jupiter.

A lot of insects have six legs.

Therefore, insectoid aliens from Europa have taken over You Tube.

Pencils are cheap

Ergo, Pencil Shavings are cheap.

Catfood is cheap.

Terrible school lunches are made of cheap stuff.

Since pencil shavings are cheap and catfood is cheap, terrible school lunches are made of them.

Ice cream is sometimes eaten in front of televisions

Bananas are used on lots of comedic television programs

Banana is a flavor of ice cream

Therefore, television caused banana ice cream to be created

Some people eat banana flavored ice cream in front of televisions

This was pretty meta, they realized

So they started a meta website about television

Beds are interested in sex:

Most porno flicks have their main sex scene on beds

Porno is... well, awesome!

Sleep is awesome, too!

Sleeping involves dreams

Dreams can have sex in them.

Dreams can have beds in them.

Beds, however, cannot have dreams, and therefore, not have sex in them.

Despite this, they would like to because Lord Business has just recently come to power.

Lord Business is a strict rule upholder.

Rules are on the internet

Rule 34 states that there's porn on everything that exists. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Therefore, beds are interested in sex. Any questions?

Gabe Newell founded Valve Software.

Valve Software made Half-Life.

Radioactive materials have half-lives.

Radioactive materials can be used to make nukes.

During the Cold War, people were worried about a nuclear war with Russia.

Therefore, Gabe Newell is Russian.

This fact is clearly kept secret; the only possible reason for this is because he is a spy.

I don't speak Russian.

I don't speak Esperanto either.

Therefore, Gabe Newell is a Russian spy who speaks Esperanto.

Samuel L. Jackson is Liam Neeson's Half-Brother

Samuel L. Jackson loves playing characters with authority

Authority=power

Power= Work done/amount of time

Time is the essence

Essence is in life. Hence the phrase "Essence of life"

Life looks like Lion

Liam Neeson played a Lion.

Lions have been known to avenge people over their loved one's deaths

"Avengers" is a movie Samuel L. Jackson was in.

Therefore, Title Drop.

Video games about war are popular

Paintball is a popular sport

Paintball resembles war

Some people who play war video games enjoy playing paintball

War video games have massive battles with as many as 100 players

Someone will stage a 100 person paintball tournament because they enjoy war video games

With that many players, someone will mistake a real gun for a paintball gun

The person whose friend got shot won't like this, so he'll take up real guns

He will vow to kill the person who was shot

People who play war video games will notice this

They'll want to get in on the action

Everybody in the world will have guns

Ergo, WWIII will be started soon because of violent video games and Paintball.

Ergo, Spyro caused the Occupy Movement

The Beatles need love

Kim Jeong Un was NK's leader

Kim Jeong Un is dead

Dead people are considered free

If you want to be a leader of a free country, then you need to be very very free(I know this as I am American and this is our general logic..... sort of)

therefore North Korea is free.

Hash browns are made from potatoes

Potatoes generate electricity

Disco music requires electricity

Monsanto is making genetically engineered potatoes

Monsanto will eventually make an intelligent potato because of this

The potatoes will be made into hash browns

These hash browns will resent humans

They will destroy all power plants and deprive humans of disco music

In order for humans to hear disco, the hash browns will make them work

Ergo, hash browns will enslave humans with disco

Some video games are played on Microsoft consoles.

Microsoft owns the Windows OS.

Windows can also play video games.

Some of those games are emulations of other consoles/computer models.

Among the emulated consoles include Sega consoles.

Sega now releases games for all known consoles and smartphones.

Furthermore, one of Sega's consoles is the Sega Saturn.

Going back, did I mention Windows?

Ergo, all video games are windows to the planet Saturn.

Mr. Bean is dominating the entire universe, and nobody's even aware of it.

Mr. Bean is the lead character in a famous British comedy series.

Another British comedy is Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Terry Gilliam was one of the Pythons.

THEREFORE, Terry Gilliam is Mr. Bean. HOWEVER-

Terry Gilliam made a movie called Time Bandits

THEREFORE Terry Gilliam/Mr. Bean is a Time Bandit, one of the lesser known, but most important, hiearchies of the Illuminati.

The Illuminati control the world.

THEREFORE Mr. Bean controls the world. Quod Erat Demonstratum.
