There's driving a car, then there's Super-Speed, then there's lightspeed, then there's Faster-Than-Light Travel. Then there's Ludicrous Speed. This is speed so fast that it breaks your brain, curves your spine, divides by zero, and is in every way inconceivable. After traveling at such velocities, a person is just never the same. It's the Brown Note of movement. Ludicrous Speed is where during the story, a person will travel at such high speeds that it has a physical and/or psychological effect on the person, usually mutation or insanity. Named after "Ludicrous Speed!" in Spaceballs (which is so fast it causes a ship traveling at that rate to Motion Parallax to plaid), though the effect there is basically limited to a Non Sequitur, *Thud*. A cousin of Space Madness, FTL Travel Sickness, and Hyperspace Is a Scary Place. Taking Driven to Madness to its literal extreme. Can overlap with Go Mad from the Revelation if the person discovers something mindbreaking about the universe. Compare to an Eldritch Abomination which breaks your mind with the mere sight of it. |

A humorously downplayed example occurs in Thud!, when Sam Vimes is so desperate to reach Koom Valley quickly that he bends his rule about not using magic and allows the wizards to soup up a coach. When the magic is activated, Vimes' mind reels as the vehicle reaches such stupendous speeds as 60 miles per hour. In fact, due to the decreased speed of light on the Disc because of the Background Magic Field, he starts to experience visible blueshift at the highest speeds. | |

REDLINE is built on this trope. The plot involves a futuristic and illegal auto race across a militaristic Death World, and the racers' vehicles reach supersonic speeds without even trying. Using speed boosters is depicted by having time slow down and the cars/drivers stretching to impossible lengths before launching away. | |

Bleak Expectations states that in Victorian England's poor understanding of science, it's impossible to travel faster than 30 mph. Doing so would cause your head to implode. Harry Biscuit decides that he will disprove this by using a team of 150 horses that will, by his logic, be able to travel at 150 times the speed of horse, and he invents a cone shaped helmet that will "cut through the air" to prevent his head from imploding. | |

The Expanse: In "Home", the Rocinante has to travel at 15 Gs of constant acceleration to catch up with Eros which is threatening to Colony Drop on Earth. Though they have special drugs that can be injected via their acceleration seats to enable them to survive, it's still a high-risk maneuver that could easily cause death or serious injury from a burst blood vessel. | |

Looney Tunes: A Running Gag is that when a plane is plummeting, the airspeed meter usually starts spinning up ever faster, before displaying a message like "incredible, ain't it?" In Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner shorts, with a burst of speed, the Road Runner can vanish over the horizon in a fraction of a second, cause paved roadways to ripple like water, uproot utility poles with his slipstream, and basically defy the laws of physics. Of course, he never studied law.) Taz-Mania has the Kiwi, a tiny, yellow, wingless bird that makes the Road Runner look motionless, it has often been shown to warp space-time itself when running, essentially crossing wormholes when accelerating enough, and at least once it's slipstream dragged reality itself, making for one of the craziest blackout gags one could imagine. |

One of the threats The Flash faces is going so fast that he gets absorbed into the Speed Force, the cosmic force that gives him his power. Ludicrous Speed was also the way Barry was able to visit Earth-Two and link the Silver Age to the Golden Age, as him vibrating incredibly fast in certain places on Earth-One gave him the ability to cross over into Earth-Two. | |

SCP Foundation: A storage accident involving SCP-1272 created a zone in one of their bases with topological twisting so severe it created relativistic effects. An unknown person is walking out of the affected area at what appears to be imperceptibly slow speed — but he's blue-shifted, meaning he's moving at a decent fraction of the speed of light. When he emerges from the zone moving at that speed... | |

Rat Race: Two of the racers for the $2,000,000, Vera Baker and her daughter Merrill Jennings, end up losing their car in the desert and stumble across a press gathering where a team of scientists are attempting to break the land speed record with a newly designed type of Rocket Car. Vera and Merrill manage to steal the vehicle and activate it, blasting off through the desert fast enough to keep up with a visibly speeding bullet next to them. When the car runs out of jet fuel and begins to slow down, the women shakily get out of the vehicle, dazed and disturbed enough to be mistaken for residents of an insane asylum out on a field trip. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 uses hyperspace "jumps" in this way. A mammal is only supposed to be able to handle 50 jumps at a time. This crew, being what it is, goes for 700, and the Quadrant's already committed to the trip by the time Yondu's able to alert Rocket to his mistake. We see their faces getting cartoonishly warped as they're screaming. Groot, not being a mammal, seems largely unaffected... until after they arrive, he pukes candidly and suddenly, like a baby would. | |

Clockstoppers features Hypertime, which allows the user to travel at faster than the eye can see speeds. Prolonged Hypertime exposure can lead a character to age 10 years in a matter of months in continuous Hyper Time. Double Hyper Time (using a Hypertime device in a room that's already in hypertime) is extremely unstable. So unstable that a person is able to pass through solid objects. | |

In the Speed Racer two-parter "The Fastest Car in the World", the legendary GRX engine was dug up from its maker's grave. At top speed, a car propelled by it could only be driven safely if the driver had inhaled "V-gas". Speed tried to drive it without V-gas, went insane — or had a nearly-orgasmic moment of fahrvergnügen, we can't tell — and almost crashed. And of course, V-gas has the downside of making the inhaler extremely thirsty — and if they drink water, they'll become terrified of even the slowest speeds (which Pops had to condition him out of, and which killed another test pilot). | |

The Witches of Karres makes occasional reference to the "Egger Route", which can apparently be used to transport individuals across interstellar distances very quickly - far, far more quickly than starships can go. The downside being that it's a very bad trip: the effects we've seen in the series include catatonia for a couple of minutes on the other side (hopefully giving enough time for whoever's there to apply restraints), convulsions for another couple of minutes, and an unwillingness to talk about or remember what was along the route. | |

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: Family patriarch Clark Griswold takes his and his cousin in law Eddie's children sledding one evening, and decides to try coating the bottom of his sled with a new frictionless cooking oil that the food preservative company he works for has been developing. When Clark gently pushes off the hill, however, instead of simply gliding down, the oil causes the sled to blast off like a rocket: shooting down the hill, through the woods, and speeding across the freeway into a Walmart parking lot, where Clark crashes head first into a Salvation Army donation bin. Later in the film, as Cousin Eddie is looking through the family's garbage, he finds the sled, with the bottom of it blackened and melted through. | |

Inverted in Grim Fandango; at the beginning of year four, the lack of speed is slowly killing Glottis. Glottis is a spirit who was created expressly for the purpose of driving cars. This is both his purpose and sole desire in life, but he was created too big to fit into any of the Department's cars, so when you meet him, he's kinda-sorta eking out survival by working as a mechanic instead. | |

Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe: When on a spaceship that accelerates to twice the speed of light, reality is unmade for Phineas and the others. This takes the form of being reduced to storyboards, temp dialogue being inserted for Buford, and ultimately, Dan and Swampy pitching the whole sequence. | |

In Known Space, looking out of a spacecraft in hyperspace has adverse mental effects on humans. It's described as developing a mental "blind spot" and distorting perception nearby to eliminate any view of hyperspace itself. In one story two people are exposed to raw hyperspace (the hull of their ship is vaporized); they become nearly catatonic, since their blind spot expands to cover the entire universe with the exception of the few objects remaining in their field of vision. | |

BattleTech: Transit Disorientation Syndrome, which affects a high percentage of people travelling by Kearney-Fuchida FTL drive. Most people experience only mild feelings of nausea and dizziness or vertigo that wear off within a few minutes, but about 10% of the populations suffer much more severe symptoms that last for hours, or days if they have to endure multiple jumps in quick succession. A much smaller percentage can also suffer from hallucinations or psychotic delusions. There is medication that can keep the symptoms manageable, but a confirmed diagnosis of acute TDS is an instant career breaker for anyone wanting to serve in the space forces. | |

The DCU: One of the threats The Flash faces is going so fast that he gets absorbed into the Speed Force, the cosmic force that gives him his power. Ludicrous Speed was also the way Barry was able to visit Earth-Two and link the Silver Age to the Golden Age, as him vibrating incredibly fast in certain places on Earth-One gave him the ability to cross over into Earth-Two. Superman (at least during The Silver Age) can easily reach Ludicrous Speed, which allows him to warp space-time and time-travel. In War World, Supergirl rams through Warworld at such a high speed that she passes into higher planes of existence — while still unconscious from the impact! |

Kerbal Space Program: Because the game uses a purely Newtonian physics model, it is possible to achieve faster-than-light speeds using the infinite fuel cheat. However, traveling at such speeds (at least, without using mods that add warp drives) tends to summon the Deep Space Kraken. Similar to the Ballistics example, it's possible to go right through the Space Centre buildings by crashing into them at orbital velocities. Scott Manley demonstrates. |

This is bound to happen in Lethal League in regard to the ball. Every time it's hit, it goes faster. Hitting it with a Charged Attack will make it go even faster. Combine that with other players smacking the ball as well as you, and pretty soon the ball will go at speeds of 1,000,000 mph (yep, that's six zeroes you just saw there), making it so fast that no one will have time to react to it and get eliminated. It also causes some really freaky things to happen on the stage (for instance, the empty pool stage will start raining heavily). | |

The Stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Granted, it's not the trip itself that changes Dave, but it certainly seemed to affect him deeply. Of course, only the book really makes it clear that ludicrous speeds are even involved, while the film is a better example of the trope... | |

The first book mentions something called the R factor, which is a measure of how fast somebody is traveling based on their psychological perception of speed. Anything going at a speed higher than 1 R is going "too fast", by definition, although the actual value of 1 R varies by individual and species. The crew of the starship Bistromath end up traveling at 10^17,000 R, i.e., 10-with-seventeen-thousand-zeroes times faster than an appropriate speed would actually be. | |

In "Escape!", the robot Brains working on hyperspace travel discover that hyperspace travel causes humans to die (they get better, though), which causes their Three Laws-Compliant brains to go haywire (Consolidated Robots' Brain renders itself into junk, while the US Robotics' one has more personality and develops a mischievous sense of humor). The two characters we see taking the hyperspace jump actually go to Heaven and Hell respectively (somewhat Gilbert and Sullivan-influenced places, due to Author Appeal). | |

And, of course, there's the Infinite Improbability Drive, which has unusual effects on its ship's passengers ("Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."). Though it might be more accurate to call it pure ludicrousness that gives you Ludicrous Speed as a side effect. |

In the Skeleton Crew short story "The Jaunt" which has a future humanity easily colonizing other worlds thanks to a mass-produced teleportation mechanism. The only catch is that any living thing that goes through the transport while conscious either dies or comes through a gibbering lunatic. Ironically, the story implies that this is because the brain experiences everything in the "warp" as going so slow that it takes an eternity to finally arrive. | |

The Priscilla Hutchins novel Chindi has an alien spacecraft that — instead of jumping through hyperspace like human spaceships — uses constant acceleration to up to a quarter light speed to take The Slow Path across interstellar distances. Unfortunately, someone gets stuck on the spacecraft when it takes off, and while his colleagues can easily get ahead of him, the problem is matching the spacecraft's velocity once they come out of hyperspace. | |

Blake's 7: Our heroes are trying to work out how to pilot the Liberator, an alien vessel of unknown technology, and ask What Does This Button Do? Cue them being hurled to the deck as the Liberator accelerates to incredible speed, shown by planets rushing past and closeups of our heroes with the G-force buffeting their faces. With great effort Jenna is able to get them to stop, and there's some speculation about having traveled in negative hyperspace. Jenna hits another button, and everyone grabs for a handhold... then laugh as nothing happens. | |

CTGP-7: Downplayed. Setting the cc modifier to 9999cc causes this to happen. This even happens to the computers, too! The downplayed part? Nothing bad happens to the racers; when they fall off, they get rescued by Lakitu and continue the race at the closest respawn point. Inverted in an accidental example. CCs less than 50 are dangerous — on custom tracks, there's a glitch that causes karts to fall through the track when the CC is less than 50, making the race impossible. |

In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, as Indy is fighting off his Russian captors, within Hangar 51, one particularly large and strong mook chases him into a testing area for a rocket sled. As the two men fight on top of the sled, the launch controls are accidentally activated, and the rocket is sent blasting down the launch track, with Dr. Jones and the bad guy, smooshed back against the front of the sled, the g-force stretching their features comically. After the rocket comes to a halt, both Indy and the Russian momentarily black out and are visibly ill and dizzy from shooting down the track at several hundred miles per hour. | |

And then release it to watch the rig come to a stop that causes Newton's First Law to blow its brains out with a shotgun. And if you keep doing it long enough, you will reach a speed where the game will register your vehicle as being everywhere at once, causing the level to end since that includes the finish line. | |
