A Stock Phrase that is commonly used as a Lampshade Hanging of those occasions when the laws of physics and other scientific laws are blatantly defied. This is sometimes caused by Achievements in Ignorance, when the impossible thing only occurs because the person involved has no idea that what they are doing is supposed to be impossible.
Often Played for Laughs, this phrase can be used to tell the audience that the strange or unusual occurrences going on aren't the norm for the world in which the story is taking place. It can also be used as part of the Rule of Scary for the same reason. Contrast This Cannot Be!, which tends to be more dramatic.
On occasion, this trope will be accompanied by an explanation of how the strange occurrence is impossible. The creators will use this to demonstrate that they did their homework. Alternately, the impossible event will be chalked up to "magic", possibly with an explanation that magic really isn't supposed to work that way. If something breaks the story's internal logic expect this question to come up.
This is commonly used with Took a Shortcut, when a character wonders how another character could have gotten to a place ahead of them so fast.
Compare and contrast with Fridge Logic. May result in someone Giving Up on Logic.

This line is literally said in several episodes of Almost Naked Animals where the main character Howie has been catapulted across a room in a cardboard box and continues to surf at top speed throughout his hotel, including going inside an elevator and being taken up to the next level, only to be thrown out by some invisible force to go 'box surfing' on the next floor. However, it is only when he is 'surfing' up the stairs without slowing down that he literally says "How is this even possible?"

In Contact (the book, not the movie), while the characters are moving through the wormhole, one of them, a theoretical physicist, does some calculations and says (paraphrase): "I can almost prove mathematically this can't be happening."

In The Ghost and Molly McGee episode "The (Un)natural", Scratch has convinced Molly to cheat her softball team's way to a championship game through him possessing her ball, glove, and bat. During the last inning, he gets pulled away by the Ghost Council to discuss his scare quota. Despite Scratch only being gone for a few minutes, by the time he gets back Molly has somehow blown their 18-point lead against the Skylarks, who are now only a point behind with the bases loaded.

When a zombie clamps its jaws onto the arm of Mickey from Cockneys vs. Zombies, Katy blows its head apart, leaving the jaws still stuck to Mickey's limb. Everybody gawks at the still-attached jaws, and one of them asks "Is that even actually possible...?" while they're looking at it.

In the Honor Harrington books, Manticore's enemies tend to be quite startled at the Manticorans' technological feats, the fruits of an expensive decades-long secret research program. Starting from Mission of Honor, the Manticorans get a chance to experience that sensation themselves when the Mesan Alignment attacks their home system with unseen new technologies, without leaving any hard evidence to implicate themselves.

The Simpsons:
In the episode "The PTA Disbands", Homer gets upset at Lisa for making a working perpetual motion machine because it violates the laws of physics. ("In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!")
In "The Front", Bart and Lisa ask Grandpa what his first name is; he can't remember, but he knows he has it written on his underwear, so he takes them off... Without taking his pants off. When Bart and Lisa ask how he did that, even he doesn't know.
In "Homer Goes to College", Homer is put in a truck containing a simulator of his workstation and somehow causes the truck to suffer a meltdown.

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange separates Spider-Man's astral form from his body to take a magic box back from him. To his total surprise, Spider-Man's Spider Sense takes over and starts swinging his arm around quickly to keep the box away from Strange, while Strange keeps futilely trying to grab at it. Strange protests that Spider-Man should not be able to do this.

Looney Tunes:
In a Road Runner cartoon, Wile E. Coyote falls off a cliff while in pursuit of the Road Runner who, it turns out, is standing on a chunk of rock in mid-air. The bedraggled Coyote looks up from the bottom of the canyon at the Road Runner and holds up a sign commenting that what the Road Runner is doing defies the laws of gravity. The Road Runner responds by holding up his own sign saying it doesn't matter because he's never studied law.
Previously done in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "High Diving Hare", where Bugs is trussed up on a diving board platform and Yosemite Sam is sawing off the board, but the ladder and platform collapse with Sam instead.
1938's "Porky & Daffy" has Daffy as a prize fighter and Porky his manager. When Porky tells Daffy to get on his bicycle (a ring term for avoiding the opponent as best as can), Daffy does. He starts riding an invisible bicycle, to which he quips "I'm so crazy I don't know that this is impossible!"

During the Justice League episode "Hereafter", the Flash is almost fried by enemy lightning. Wonder Woman saves him by deflecting the lightning with her metal bracelets. Flash's response? "There are so many reasons why that shouldn't have worked." The actual answer is likely that A Wizard Did It.

Subverted in 8-Bit Theater. Fighter claims that gravity had been slain (since Black Mage had saved them by cushioning their falling airship with a large explosion as it crash landed), which would allow them to fly...and to everyone's amazement, takes off. Then it turns out Sarda the Sage decided the best way to bring them to him would be to fly them in at just that moment.
This is generally Black Mage's reaction to the improbable things his much-hated teammates do. By the time the Light Warriors reach the Temple of Fiends again, he's stopped complaining.
Fighter tends to invoke this in everyone around him. A prime example comes when he manages to somehow win "Drownball" (a sport parodying Final Fantasy X's Blitzball) by being the only player not to drown; everyone who hears about this feat is left completely stunned.
There was also the time he saved the Light Warriors from a fatal fall by blocking the Earth, his "logic" being that he blocks things like swords and fire magic all the time. Thief sums it up: "I hate it when the things he says that don't make sense make sense."
Sarda also invokes this (using a Flat "What") when Ranger dual-wields his dual-wield.

Camp Lazlo, specifically the episode where they tried to sell expired, uncanned beans. A man was walking towards the stand... and then floated into midair, drifted right over the stand, and then floated back onto the street and continued walking. This prompted Raj to ask how that was even possible.
The end credits repeat that scene with other characters doing the same thing.

In the Animaniacs story "Hooked on a Ceiling", Michelangelo gets angry at the Warner siblings and tries to throw them out of the chapel; he's about to do so, but the scene shifts to the outside of the Chapel, and Michelangelo is the one who is thrown out. As he sits on the ground he scratches his head and wonders how they did that. (This gag or variations thereof was used in several episodes afterwards.)

God Slaying Blade Works: This is the general reaction everyone in Campione! has whenever Shirou or Illya use their powers, as they can perform spells without having to invoke the power of a god or other magical being. Guinevere and Lancelot are baffled when Shirou Traces copies of the weapons Excalibur, Caliburn, Rhongomyniad, and Arondight. In the Campioneverse, Excalibur belongs to Artus, The King of the End, and no other. Caliburn, Rhongomyniad, and Arondight are mere stories and do not even exist in the Campioneverse, yet their senses tell them they are real. Everybody gets really baffled when Shirou uses Unlimited Blade Works.

In an episode of King of the Hill, while trying to get ideas for how to make his house look terrible so that it isn't sold, Hank goes to Bill's house and pulls the switch to the ceiling fan in the kitchen, which causes Bill's microwave to turn on. He even asks out loud how that's possible. (And then replicates it in his own house.)

In an episode of Married... with Children, Kelly is hustling pool under Jefferson's tutelage; after a prospective mark comes in with a very large wager, Al decided to take over from Jefferson. However, to meet the ante, he goes to nine blood banks to sell blood. Jefferson points out that the human body only contains eight pints of blood, although the dazed and disoriented Al clearly isn't sure himself how he did it (or how he's still alive).

Point Me at the Skyrim: Sevitus cannot believe that Victoria Dallon's world does not generally believe in magic, as the powers that some have seem to be very clear signs to it's existence. Victoria, not knowing that humans in Skyrim are generally stronger than her home universe, is shocked at the fact that the bandits she captured leapt from a thirty-foot tree and simply left once they landed.

One sequence in Justice League Action is one big homage to Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner; Lobo tries to capture The Flash on a desert planet with a variety of traps, only to fail due to Flash's Super-Speed. However, when they do the "Cliff crumbles while the ledge stays floating" bit, this is Lobo's reaction.

He then gets run over by the inevitable truck. "And so does that..." Then he sees an anvil falling. "Oh, come on, an anvil!?"

This leads to the other kids throwing out the other rules and the trading post devolving into chaos. When Audrey sees what happened, she questions how they could've done all that in the five minutes that the girls were gone.

In the Elenium trilogy, Sparhawk at one point declares he's going to reach down a specific enemy's throat and pull his heart out through his mouth. One of his companions, a little unnerved, inquires whether that's even possible. Sparhawk calmly replies that yes, it is, "if your arm is long enough and you know what you're looking for." He never gets the chance to do it, but Sparhawk being Sparhawk, he almost certainly could have.

This, incidentally, leads into another iteration of this trope: For another ship to have been in position to launch the attack in question without being detected, it had to be cloaked, and ships in the Star Trek setting cannot fire their weapons while cloaked, except for the fact that one ship evidently did just that.

From Red vs. Blue:
It later becomes a recurring joke that anything implausible involving skulls (Or skull-like objects) "Doesn't seem physically possible". During Season 4, a contest for Sarge's new Professional Butt-Kisser after Simmons left was held between Donut, a wrench, and a skull. When it's revealed that the skull managed to tie with Donut, Donut responds, "That doesn't seem physically possible!"
When Grif is run over by the Blues' tank in Season 2, Sarge "helps" by turning Simmons into a cyborg, and then using the "leftover parts" to fix Grif. Upon hearing about it, Grif groans, "That doesn't seem physically possible."
During "The Revelation", Tex beats Church over the head with the Monitor that briefly contained Church's mind. The Reds, safe on the sidelines, once again comment on how that "Doesn't seem physically possible."
And in Season 14 Prequel Episode "Why They're Here" we learn that Private Jimmy wasn't killed by Tex but instead had the Alpha AI forcibly implanted into him. "AAAAH! WHAT'RE YOU DOING TO MY SKULL!? AAAAAHH! THIS DOESN'T SEEM PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!"
In Season 13, when Katie Jensen causes a five car pileup when just driving five miles an hour, this is Simmons' reaction.
In Season 15 episode "Previously On", sometime after the events on Chorus, The Reds and Blues built a waterpark, which Donut accidentally...burned down.

In Dragon Ball Super, Goku reveals he has no idea what kissing is. Vegeta incredulously points out that Goku has been married for years and has two children. Goku doesn't see what that has to do with it. This is due to a translation issue. In the original, Goku witnessed Trunks feeding Mai a senzu bean through mouth-to-mouth contact, and when he said he'd never done "that" before, Vegeta asssumes he's talking about kissing.

One Piece:
This is Vivi's reaction when Nami is able to predict when a cyclone will hit while navigating the Grand Line, something regarded as impossible by most pirates. She wonders whether Nami does so less from researched skills and more from innate ability.
During the Alabasta arc, when Usopp and Chopper finds out that the opponents they're fighting are using a gun which ate a Devil Fruit, Usopp openly asks how can an inanimate object "eat" a Devil Fruit, with the opponent merely replying that there's a reason why. We later learn that WG scientist Doctor Vegapunk managed to find a way to have item absorb the power of Zoan Devil Fruits.
In the Wano arc, Franky has a major one when his opponent Sasaki, who can transform into a Triceratops, showcase the ability to spin his head frill to fly like an helicopter.

Futurama: In "Space Pilot 3000", Bender's arms fall off. A moment later we see the arms, in closeup, pick up and reattach each other. Fry is just as baffled as the audience.
In "The Deep South", Zoidberg's undersea conch-shell home somehow burns down...
When Amy starts criticizing how Fry and Bender's slacker-ness have gotten out of hand, she points out that Bender has gotten so fat his front panel won't close, then points out how that doesn't even make sense.

The Amazing World of Gumball:
In "The Procrastinators", after Gumball's gravity-defying "moonwalk", Darwin tells him he's "breaking the rules of the game and the laws of physics!"
"The Responsible": "Look at this! How do you set fire to a swimming pool?"
"The Sidekick": When Gumball sees Darwin's inbox which is so empty the page itself is falling apart, he asks "What the- is that cockroach inside your inbox?''
"The Sweaters": "How are they clapping without moving their arms?"
In "The Virus", Gumball demonstrates how complete his control over his body is by withdrawing his legs into his chest and floating in the air. Teri is just as baffled as we are.
"Halloween": After Carrie tells Gumball and Darwin she was born a ghost, Darwin asks "How does that work?" to which Gumball replies "Duh-actually I have no idea."
"The Internet": Gumball asks this verbatim after an embarrassing video of him gets a hit counter so high the numbers start falling off the screen and leaking out of the computer.
"The Check": "How did she do that?" "And if she can do that, then why does she need the money to fix the car?"..."Give me the check!! We clearly don't need a car!!"
"The Recipe": When Anton drowns and disintegrates at the same time, but is back in the next scene with no sign of injury, Gumball asks "Am I the only one who finds it weird that he's still alive?"

Peanuts has many, most involving Snoopy:
In one strip, Snoopy is asleep while playing second base, with an alarm clock behind him. It rings, waking him up, and he catches the fly ball coming towards him. A confused Charlie Brown says, "How do you set the alarm for a fly ball??"
In another strip, Snoopy tries to dive into Lucy's wading pool, but she shouts, "Oh no you don't!" and Snoopy turns around in mid-air. Then he says to himself, "Now how did I do that?"
In another, Snoopy is upset that it's raining on his face, and shouts "Why can't it only rain on my legs?" And it does. When Lucy comes by and asks how that's possible, he says, "There are always ways of working things out."
One strip set in winter has him lying on his doghouse, covered with snow. When Charlie Brown comes out with his supper, he takes his dish, eats it - evidenced by loud chewing sounds - and hands the empty dish back, all without disturbing the snow. "I wonder how he did that?!" muses Charlie Brown.

In Left 4 Dead 2, one of Ellis's stories about his friend Keith involves them making their own fireworks and Keith having 95% of his body covered in third-degree burns as a result. Another involves Keith attempting to deep-fry a turkey and getting 90% of his body covered in burns on top of the ones he had from the prior incident, and his doctor had to call other doctors because they didn't know that was even possible.

White Sheep (RWBY):
Upon learning Nora and Blake joined the White Fang, a Faunus-supremacy terrorist group, Weiss demands to know "how could you." Blake tries to defend her actions, but Weiss clarifies that she meant it literally: How did they join the White Fang?
Sun has a similar reaction to finding out that Jaune is half-Grimm, then asks if the Beowolf that Jaune is petting is his dad.
Weiss's reaction to learning that the massive crystals in the Grimmlands are all Dust. Jaune even claims they grow this close to Salem's tower, which flies in the face of everything Weiss knows about Dust.

Said almost word for word in The Princess Bride when the Dread Pirate Roberts reveals to Buttercup that he is in fact her sweetheart, Westley. She wants to know how this is possible, given that the Dread Pirate Roberts has been marauding for twenty years, but Westley only disappeared, presumed dead, five years ago. Westley then explains that the Dread Pirate Roberts is a Legacy Character — the original has been "living like a king in Patagonia for quite some time."

In Disco Elysium the storytelling hobo Idiot Doom Spiral can tell you the Urban Legend of the Cocaine Skull, which involves an infamous cocaine abusing graphic designer and his untimely death. Doom Spiral claims that when the graphic designer's body was subject to an autopsy, the coroner discovered "nearly a quarter kilo of coke jammed into his nasal cavity." Your skills are not quite sure what to make of this.

The opening cinematic of Syphon Filter shows Gabe and Lian responding to a viral outbreak in a small village in the Himalayas. Gabe comments that their contact in the WHO was correct, and that everyone within a hundred miles is dead. Lian replies that the man she is inspecting is still alive. Gabe asks how it is possible and Lian replies it isn't. This is meant to foreshadow the ultimate reveal that Syphon Filter is a virus that can be programmed only to kill specific people.

Fighter tends to invoke this in everyone around him. A prime example comes when he manages to somehow win "Drownball" (a sport parodying Final Fantasy X's Blitzball) by being the only player not to drown; everyone who hears about this feat is left completely stunned.
There was also the time he saved the Light Warriors from a fatal fall by blocking the Earth, his "logic" being that he blocks things like swords and fire magic all the time. Thief sums it up: "I hate it when the things he says that don't make sense make sense."

Worm Grand Order: Taylor Hebert and her Servants kill Leviathan by cutting it open and extracting its core. Hero asks how it is possible they were able to do that, since Leviathan's flesh becomes denser the deeper you go and the area around the core is infinitely dense, meaning it would take more energy than the universe can hold to penetrate it. Da Vinci explains that they made a wish on the Holy Grail to weaken Leviathan and make it possible. He doesn't believe her because he doesn't believe that magic is real, then says he'll figure out the science behind the feat later.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Happens A LOT when Pinkie Pie is around.
In the episode "It's About Time!", Pinkie Pie explains that her Pinkie Sense can't help predict the impending disaster Twilight Sparkle is getting worked up about, because it's only good for vague, short-term predictions. Pinkie demonstrates when she gets a "twitchy tail" reaction that indicates a falling object, and a flowerpot lands on Twilight's head... despite both ponies being inside a tent. Pinkie then wonders aloud where the flowerpot came from.
In another episode, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are hanging out at the beach. When RD wants to take a nap, she asks Pinkie to be quiet; so Pinkie, about to jump into the water (and already falling), slows her descent, and slowly lowers herself into the water in clear violation of gravity. Dash briefly wonders how that was possible, then shrugs it off as Pinkie being Pinkie.
In the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks Shorts short "Perfect Day for Fun", Pinkie Pie makes faces and poses in front of a mirror, but her reflection just stands there. Applejack gives a confused reaction.
When counting the number of new friendships that will form when the Apples and Pies meet each other in "Hearthbreakers", Pinkie comes up with nineteen and holds up nineteen hooves. Applejack is visibly shocked and is looking around to try and see where the extra hooves came from in the background of the next shot.

Homestar Runner
In the Strong Bad Email "virus", when the virus infects Strong Bad's computer, Homestar declares that it "needs words" and proceeds to steal them from the navbar. Strong Bad objects that that's not supposed to be possible.
In "4 branches", Strong Bad finds Homestar stuck in the office's water cooler, with one foot hanging out of the nozzle.
In "original" Strong Bad explains the incident that caused the original Bubs to quit the show:

1938's "Porky & Daffy" has Daffy as a prize fighter and Porky his manager. When Porky tells Daffy to get on his bicycle (a ring term for avoiding the opponent as best as can), Daffy does. He starts riding an invisible bicycle, to which he quips "I'm so crazy I don't know that this is impossible!"

Coco: The clerk in the land of the undead starts sneezing around Miguel's dog Dante because he's allergic. Miguel asks how this can even be possible seeing as Dante doesn't even have hair; the clerk adds that he also doesn't even have a nose, then shrugs.

Also an ongoing theme in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, beginning with the evident (but impossible) fact that the Enterprise fired on the Klingon chancellor's flagship while under a flag of truce.
This, incidentally, leads into another iteration of this trope: For another ship to have been in position to launch the attack in question without being detected, it had to be cloaked, and ships in the Star Trek setting cannot fire their weapons while cloaked, except for the fact that one ship evidently did just that.

Tigtone was already an extremely surreal show, but Tigtone killing himself by hanging and then instantly bouncing back to the world of the living while dragging two deceased villains back with him in order to hang them and leaving them hanging forever in the afterlife was Beyond the Impossible even by the show's standards and causes one of the villains to question how it is even possible, to which Tigtone responds that anything is possible if you believe in yourself.

In the Pokémon: The Original Series episode "One Trick Phony!", this is everyone's reactions to Jessie's Charizard somehow doing moves that logically a Charizard shouldn't be able to do, like Dig. That said, in the game Charizard can learn it by a TM.

FLCL: Haruko and Amarao have a long and exhausting battle where Haruko fights off all his mooks with a guitar, destroys half the shop they're in, and finally deflects all his bullets by slicing them in half with a box-cutter. At that point, Amarao gives up on trying to make sense of it all.
