History Main / InsaneTrollLogic

** [[Website/FourChan /tg/]] has applied Orky logic to matters of camouflage, concluding that purple is the sneakiest color. Because you've never seen a purple army, have you?

* Featured in "troll physics," a form of Website/FourChan's /v/ board's UsefulNotes/MSPaint comics. For example, bread always lands butter-side down. Cats always land on their feet. Therefore, attaching a piece of buttered bread to a cat's back will result in Anti-gravity.

** Edgeworth himself does this if you present wrong evidence in at a few parts in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations 2''.

* In ''Literature/IveGotYouUnderMySkin'', Nina's mother blames her for Rob Powell leaving her for Betsy, because the three of them happened to be having lunch in the same restaurant as Besty and her daughter Claire (who was Nina's best friend), and thirteen year old Nina called them over to say hello, resulting in Rob and Betsy getting to know each other.

** Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} himself can fall into this. A famous 1950s story has the public confused when Batman wears a different colored costume every day. It's at the end of the story, it's explained that Dick Grayson had injured his arm trying to stop a robbery. Batman was worried that if people saw Robin also with a weak arm, they'd somehow put together he was Dick Grayson and thus know Batman is Bruce Wayne. So, by wearing the colored costumes, Batman put attention on him and no one focused on Robin until he was healed. This being the Silver Age, it works perfectly.

* ''Literature/JaineAustenMysteries'': Jaine's mother Claudia had her and her husband retire to Florida from Hermosa Beach to be closer to the Creator/HomeShoppingNetwork (which she is addicted to), and thus be able to get her packages faster.

* Practically everyone in Franchise/{{Batman}}'s rogues gallery counts.

* This is the entire basis of the existence of the ''ComicBook/JohnnyTurbo'' comics, and the "plot" follows suit. Buy the Turbo Duo game system, because [[BlandNameProduct FEKA]] is composed of evil robots!

* Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} runs on ObfuscatingInsanity, but every once in a while, his brain slips (another) gear and he goes into full-blown troll logic. Usually, you only find out which he was using after the body count is tallied. At one point, presumably, the thought process went like this: I got my powers from weird experiments on a mutant, therefore I am a mutant. I am a mutant, therefore I am an X-Man. I am an X-Man, therefore I need to wear an X-Man costume, therefore [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2010/10/deadpool-marvel-girl.jpg I will run around in Marvel Girl's old green miniskirt outfit]]. Cyclops was not amused.
* The Three Blind Mice of ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}''. They'll be walking along headed for some goal (usually a fairly far-out one), and one will question if there is such a place/circumstance/etc. One of the mice (usually Thaddeus) will then say that since no-one has stopped them or they haven't been told that their goal is ''not'' attainable, then it ''must'' be there, and all they have to do is find it. ''Rose Red'' has a particularly funny example.
* In one issue of ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'', Milhouse was convinced he was invisible thanks to Bart and some business involving [[MadScientist Professor Frink's dumpster]]. When Milhouse found himself about to have the local bullies beat the crap out of them, Bart stepped in with this trope, arguing that there are many invisible things you can't see which are dangerous, so how dangerous could ''something invisible you '''can''' see'' be? {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d immediately when Jimbo ran off with a cry of "Let's get outta here! He's using contradictory logic!"
* "Le Monde des Lettres" in {{Franco Belgian|Comics}} ''ComicBook/{{Philemon}}'' runs on this, frequently making [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Wonderland]] look tame by comparison.
* Recurring character Inspector Bougret in ''Creator/{{Gotlib}}'' comics always solves the criminal cases he's on. His conclusions may be correct, but the way he attains them is utterly nonsensical.
* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': Both Reverse-Flashes fall into this, to the point where you'd think it comes with the yellow tights.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan:'' J. Jonah Jameson will take any action of Spider-Man's as proof he's a mass-murdering menace out to get the people of New York, probably in collusion with the villains he fights, even denying the evidence of his eyes and ears. Sometimes, even completely non-Spider-Man related activities are also part of the webbed menace's nefarious schemes... somehow.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}:''

* ''Film/MarsAttacks'': Kessler believed that the Martians ''must'' have been peaceful because of their intelligence, ignoring the fact that intelligence really does not dictate what people are like.

** [[Characters/MonsterVerseSkullIslandExpedition Riccio]] in the graphic novel ''Skull Island: The Birth of Kong'' descends into this late into his SanitySlippage. He goes from respecting the Iwi to [[spoiler:assaulting and threatening them]] as he becomes more concerned with his idea of Kong as God, and he decides to bring the Iwi's wall down as a test to see if Kong is the kind of god that will come to their aid; rationalizing that if Kong doesn't intervene to save the Iwi, then it means them and everything in the world is unworthy of ''Kong'' specifically, not to mention all his talk about removing the barriers that divide creatures even if doing so is suicidal as in the case of taking down the Iwi's wall.

* In ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'', pretty much every point Henry tries to make falls under this.

** For instance, a stock joke for the trio would be having the Stooges sentenced to death (often for a FelonyMisdemeanor) and give them the choice of beheading or being burnt at the stake. One of the boys (more often than not [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Curley]]) would opt for burning at the stake. His reasoning? [[JustForPun "A hot stake's better'n a cold chop"...]]

* In ''Literature/HeavyObject'', the Capitalist Enterprise produces the EX Wall, a barbed wire barrier laced with explosives. Neither the wire or the explosives pose any obstacles to Objects, but damaging the wall will knock the explosives free, essentially becoming landmines which are illegal by international law. The Enterprise will then accuse the enemy who damage the Wall of breaking the law because it was the ''attack'' which created the mines, not the Wall itself. The politics involved are so bad that other nations have to avoid the EX Wall, allowing the Enterprise to define the battlefield's size and shape.
