You know the two types of cartoon Logic. The Looney Tunes type: Anything goes for a joke. The Simpsons type: Physics and other elements are treated as real life events. And the Plot Development type...

This falls into the latter.
Ninja Turtles - Lost Season - 1991
Episode: Shredders Mom

The Turtles are flying into space on a NASA spaceship, trying to reach a portal above the Earth. They fly into a heat ray, the computers get fried, and even they state they are about to burn to a crisp. Yet, Donatello brings out a WOODEN Abacus, which by all right should have caught on fire ages ago...

So, post your favorite moments of toon logic, or lack there of.

The best example I can think of is an episode of Nudnik. Now it relies on cartoon logic, but in that episode the character's pants fill up with water, and then he floats as if it was HELIUM.

There's cartoon logic, and then there's throwing out all logic out the frickin' window.
 
^ Or how about when character acknowledge there cartoon logic.Like Patrick questioning how they can have a fire under the sea. :sweat:
 
There has been several times on KND when they are on spaceships that get holes punched in them. Why they don't sucked into the vacuum of space is beyond me.
 
Which prompts the fire to go out.

Also certain liquids just don't mix with water. That beach they go to is actually based on a real phenomenon you can see in the deep abyss where saltier water is so dense it sticks to the bottom.
 
Yes, if by "the 10th season" you mean "the 4th season". I've never understood the people who insisted that the golden years of the show were always completely down-to-earth and realistic and that the Scully Years suddenly rocketed the show into the realm of the surreal. Anybody who's seen an episode executive produced by David Mirkin should know otherwise...
