Chuck Norris Facts

"They wanted to put Chuck Norris's face on Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn't hard enough for his beard."

—Chuck Norris's admitted favorite; another favorite was, "When the boogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris."

The first well-known Memetic Badass site, which makes up tall tales about the actor Chuck Norris, especially based on clips from the series Walker, Texas Ranger. The site is a spin-off of the Vin Diesel Facts site, which focused as much on bizarre and improbable facts about its target actor as badassery. Both trace their lineage to the "Bill Brasky" sketches on Saturday Night Live in which four men would take turns relating facts and anectodes about their cartoonishly larger-than-life friend Bill Brasky.

The site has been noted elsewhere, such as on The Daily Show and That Guy With The Glasses. It's influenced the long-running "Most Interesting Man in the World" ad campaign for Dos Equis beer. Chuck Norris himself has taken the site with good humor and seems to enjoy the extra media attention.

Tropes used in Chuck Norris Facts include:

Awesomeness Is Volatile
Battle Royale With Cheese: Subverted. One time Chuck Norris invited all of TV's badasses to an all-out brawl-for-all to determine who was the supreme badass. Unfortunately, only two of them dared showed up: MacGyver and Jack Bauer. And when they saw who the competition was, they scampered.
Beyond the Impossible: One example of this is that he expected The Spanish Inquisition, which says something about his abilities. For other examples see the other tropes. The nutshell is, "It's only impossible until Chuck Norris tries."
Cure for Cancer: Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.
Deal with the Devil: Chuck Norris once made a deal with the devil to receive some of his best attributes in exchange for his soul. He then roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil admitted that he should have seen it coming, accepted his defeat gracefully, and now plays poker with Chuck once a week.
Determinator
Divide by Zero: Chuck Norris doesn't divide by Zero, Zero divides by Chuck Norris.
