Severus was not quite sure what a "plothole" was, but Faustus seemed to be obsessed with them, and claimed they were everywhere. The evidence, he claimed, was abundant if you looked at England alone: Hogwarts had had a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year for twenty years without anybody noticing or commenting on it; nobody ever said the Dark Lord's name yet everybody seemed to know it; the Death Eaters, an illegal secret society, had decided it would be a brilliant idea to get indelible tattoos.

Kevin: Do you think the audience will notice the policeman's gold tooth and realize later in the movie that he's the smart burglar?

Kevin's Sister: Who cares? If they were paying attention they'd realize this plot is so full of holes the script could've been typed on Swiss cheese!
Home A-Groan, the Mad Magazine spoof of the original Home Alone

Yakko, as Puck: And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding, but a dream!

Dot, translating into layman's terms: There is a hole in the plot you could drive a truck through.
"Now why hasn't anyone cursed Galbatroix? You apparently don't need to know his name to work this sort of magic, but no one has done this. Why? It seems so easy. Just say the magic words and poof. Do you know what we call this? We call this a Plot Hole."
—Kippurbird, Eragon Sporkings
People hate plot holes in movies. At least, that's what they'll tell you. But sometimes, if a movie is awesome enough, people will overlook even the most retarded gaps in reason and logic. ...At least, until some asshole on the Internet points them out and makes a big list of them.
"My god, this Plot is like Swiss cheese!"
"wild magic and miracle working, chaos theory and weird science, acts of god and freak occurrences, at the point where unbelievable coincidences and contrived events converge, I reach my hand into the gaping hole that exists in the Plot of the universe, I send my prayers across the barrier of logic, calling forth the forces of pure dumb luck to aid my quest, let the improbable happen, I summon Deus Ex Machina!!!"
—Meji Hinadori, Errant Story Chapter 1 Page 23
"By the honor of Plot Holes, I have the Plot Device!"
The Nostalgia Chick, on the memory-wiping backstory of She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Kuzco: No! It can't be! How'd you get back here before us?
Yzma: Ah--(pause) How did we Kronk?
Kronk: Well you got me. By all accounts it makes no sense.

Tom: "Oh, good, the Nazis are here. They'll fix this up."
Joel: "'We're the Padding Department! Where's the plot hole?'"

Hold on... How come Vriska could read Jade's "Holo-screen" (?) Did she somehow learn how to read in English?

"If Ike is killed from the Black Knight's son, I'll just assume the cause of death to be that he fell into a Plot Hole and died."
