Hurricane of Excuses | comment |
When confronted with some evidence of her wrongdoing or in need of an excuse to get out of something, Alice blurts out all the things she can think of that could justify it. Unfortunately, they all contradict each other. Some might even be downright implausible. She probably would have been better off sticking to just one of them. I was going to write a longer description, but I had to shut the computer down due to a thunderstorm, there was a hole in the roof already so I went stargazing, I needed to run to the gas station and then get my car from the repair shop, and meanwhile had to stop the basement flooding. |

An impressive example occurs in the Arabian Nights; an unfaithful wife's lover has been killed, and to justify going into mourning, she tells her husband that her mother is dead, her father has been killed in a holy war, one of her brothers died of snake bite, and another one of her brothers fell off a cliff. Not contradictory, or technically implausible, but certainly still a bit over-the-top. (Adding to that, they are first cousins and he would plausibly be able to check on whether his own uncle, aunt and other cousins had died.) | |

In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin tries to fix a leaky faucet and floods the bathroom instead. When Dad demands to know what happened, Calvin says that the faucet blew sky-high all by itself, then he says that Hobbes was fooling around with Dad's tools, and finally he claims that "evil, bug-eyed monsters from Pluto" did it. | |

During the Blade-Runner-future-segment of Cloud Atlas, Sonmi, a cloned labourer displaying unusual intelligence, is given to a loutish university student so he can monitor her. He and his friends end up trying to shoot bits of fruit off the top of her head, and she loses part of her ear just as one of his professors walks in. He tries to come up with so many different excuses that, as Sonmi notes, none of them have any meaning. | |

Cathy once phoned her office and said she couldn't come to work that day because she didn't feel well, there was a family emergency, her car broke down and her dog had a vet appointment. Her actual reason for avoiding work was that a hairdresser gave her a bad dye job and she was too embarrassed to go out in public that way. Irving wants to go swimming, but Cathy doesn't like wearing a bathing suit in public: |

American Dad! has one of these where Stan reveals that despite being a CIA agent he's never killed anyone. Francine found his alpha male status erotic and so this disappoints her. At one point: On the DVD, there is a sound of a vibrator after the lights are off and Francine adds the excuse "Oh that? It's... a pencil sharpener... I'm... sharpening pencils for my early meeting?" |

In Fire & Blood, when Princess Saera Targaryen is taken to task by her parents for just how out of control her Hard-Drinking Party Girl lifestyle has gotten, she delivers a rant containing just about every imaginable lie, excuse, rationalisation and deflection in rapid succession.

From El Goonish Shive: When Ellen and Nanase are caught kissing by Nanase's mother, Ellen claims "We were rehearsing a play! About CPR!" Nanase decides to come out. Her mother pretty much takes it in stride. During "Squirrel in the Classroom", when Raven gets suspicious of Grace's memory, he suddenly realizes something, withdraws his objection, and uses this trope to explain his previous anger at Grace. This happens when Matt asks the normally unflappable Susan out on a date during "The End of Spring." When Agent Wolf accidentally revealed a bit more information than he should have, he tries a little bit too hard to backpedal. |
