"By the time you figure out what was wrong with that, it won't matter anymore!"
"I was standing in the lobby of this hotel just minding my own business and this guy came up to me and said, 'Sir, could you please move? You're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't going to run. If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit...Unless you're a table."—Mitch Hedburg
"It's charming until you realize how many hidden cameras this guy must have set up to get all this footage."
"I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but wonder how creatures without arms could make such a device. Or tie up my friends."—Antimony, Gunnerkrigg Court
Seppel: "Wait a minute! What was Professor Utonium doing making little girls in the first place?!"

"Now I'm going to give you $50,000. [...] The longer we stand here, the more people are going to question how a fisherman with no engineering background was able to build a sophisticated talking fish robot."
"It's a lot like the iron boots in modern 3D Zelda games: you have these 200kg boots in your inventory; you're swimming in water; you open the menu and choose to put the boots 'on'; you sink to the bottom of the water. Are the boots only heavy when they're on your feet? (Maybe they're magical.)"
Gabe: How can you say the Wonder Twins was about incest? I mean, just because he turns into water, and then she turns into an elephant, and then... Then they... They... Oh My God. And the monkey! Where does the monkey fit in?
Tycho: The monkey watches.
[Zoidberg's underwater house has just burnt down]
Hermes: That just raises further questions!
Zoidberg: Nooooooo! My home! It burned down! How did this happen?
Hermes: That's a very good question.
Bender: [Retrieving a lit cigar from the ashes] So that's where my I left my cigar.
Richard Castle: Perfect place for a murder. No one can hear you scream.
Richard Castle: Don't ruin my story with your logic!

Richard Castle: Maybe somebody marched Donny at gunpoint down to the river and killed him there.

"I want you to think about this: This is a story where a group of people are bopping around the world, encountering monsters and using some vaguely defined magic power taught to them by servant elementals, turning them into collectible playing cards in a game that everyone in the entire world plays. Not only that, these summoned demons also have the power to turn common everyday items, as well as these playing cards, into mystical energy in the form of magic spells. You're telling me that I could go into a sporting goods store in this world, buy a tent, and tell the devil in my magic lamp to turn that into ten Curaga spells? Do these spells take up tangible space, are they in a book or are they in my pocket? Why can I only carry a hundred of them?"
"When he's gone, Claire opines that people will ask questions about the crash, but Bennet informs her she's mistaken, and no one's going to know a thing. An ominous whistling accompanies this declaration, and when Claire, dread in her voice, asks what he did, he answers by looking to the sky, from which a missile appears and blows up the plane. I hate to argue with such a dramatic display, but if someone were going to ask questions about a mysterious plane's mysterious landing, I'm not sure an ensuing mysterious explosion would get them to go about their day like nothing happened. But I could be overestimating people's average intelligence and curiosity."
"But he delivers it in such a homespun, likable way that you're already halfway home before you realize, 'Hey, that made no f@#$ing sense!'"
How is it possible that this bear was healthy in April but dead by starvation less than 3 months later? Why was he even on land in April? Why was global warming [activist] photographer Ashley Cooper in Svalbard for 12 days in July, fortuitously available to take the bear’s picture?
