"Weirder than usual" is a dialogue trope where an eccentric (weird) character has a sudden change of behavior. Perhaps this character is acting rather normal (weird for a weird character) or perhaps this character is acting even more eccentric. It's unavoidable for friends of this character to discuss the character's behavior. Often occurs in the form "That was weird... ''[{{Beat}}]'' ...you know, weirder than ''usual''".

* WeirderThanUsual: When Nozomu "Baka" Tanaka from ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'' is infected by a strange protozoa in chapter 72 of the manga, the usually ChaoticStupid character starts acting much nicer and more considerate than usual, becoming something of a NiceGirl and diligent (if still not particularly bright) student overnight. This OutOfCharacter moment [[NotHimself weirded everyone out]], though apparently not in an entirely bad way as Ota seems to like her in this state than her normal self. It doesn't stick, however, as she returns to normal after several hours of violent diarrhoea.

"More so than usual," I amended.''
