Weirdness Coupon: Difference between revisions

If somebody or something is really weird or fantastical, they're allowed to do things that "normal" people would never say or do. After all, they're either inimitable, or are in a situation nobody would want to emulate. A cousin to [[Elephant in the Living Room]] and [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]].

* Done by [[Studio Gainax]]: Instant pass on [[Mind Screw]], [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]], and just about any other form of absurdity you can imagine.

* It was repeatedly commented by the producers of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' that if they had a joke that some might find to be in poor taste, they always had one of the robots make it. Because people were more willing to accept that sort of thing from a puppet.

** ''[[South Park]]'' uses a similar tactic to help with [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].

* [[House|Dr. House]] is given a lot of leeway in doing bizarre, irritating, and often illegal things by the staff at PPH. One of many, ''many'' instances of this included his shooting a corpse in the hospital's morgue. A horrified technician hears the gunshot and runs to find House with a pistol standing over the body. House's explaination:

{{quote|'''House''': He's dead. I shot him. }}

** Nothing more is made of the incident.
