Sometimes, a metaphor is a train, taking you from concept A to concept B, maybe at high speed, maybe derailing, and definitely serving overpriced sandwiches. There's nothing wrong with using a metaphor to explain the situation, but make sure it doesn't derail on you later. Trying to hold to an established metaphor while including added information that doesn't fit it at all... well, that's sillier than wearing a trash can on your head while artistically comparing two unlike concepts. In other words, a good comedy trope. The metaphor begins with a solid concept but quickly degenerates into a repetition of the actual situation only projected onto the metaphorical concepts. "You Can't Make an Omelette... without [something much more unpleasant than breaking a few eggs]" seems to be particularly popular, perhaps because it lends itself well to Black Comedy. It is also possible for the metaphorical concept to distract the speaker so that the metaphor is forgotten. Sometimes the character will realise they've spoilt the metaphor and admit they've lost their train of thought, or perhaps they'll try to reconnect the mess they've made back to the original metaphor, which just prolongs the joke further. Handily Truth in Television. Has a lot of overlap with Dissimile. Compare Derailed Train of Thought, Analogy Backfire, Sidetracked by the Analogy, "Shaggy Frog" Story, Disorganized Outline Speech, I Like My X Like I Like My Y and Mixed Metaphor. Because this often uses realistic diction, it can also subvert Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic. Buffy Speak uses this a lot. |

Megamind and his arch-nemesis Metro Man tend to get lost in cheesy mid-battle banter whenever they fight - so much so that the Damsel in Distress has to remind them to actually do something besides exchanging increasingly bizarre witticisms. The metaphors become redundant through arguments: | |

In The Social Network, Sean Parker uses the metaphor of a fisherman having his photo taken with one big Marlin instead of 15 trout. Eduardo goes into all the technical details, like how much a Marlin could weigh in real life and how strong the fisherman would have to be, while an irate Mark tells him that he's Comically Missing the Point. | |

In Persona 4: The Animation Yu uses a giant, $35 beef bowl to begin an analogy to relate the need to never give up on their pursuit of a fairly vague goal. Other members of the group pitch in and add to the increasingly narmy metaphor. When it's Yu's turn again, he says, "And my bowl isn't empty yet." | |

From Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: In this strip, we see how Metaphorgotten makes a poor confession strategy. Also this strip shows how being absent-minded in the middle of a metaphor can have traumatic consequences. Son, a good woman is like a deep fried chimpanzee Also featuring Overextended Metaphor Parrot. The strip for 2015-02-01 reveals that Nietzsche's "When you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you" originally had a long follow-up about the abyss wondering why you're looking at it. |

This is frequently seen in Discworld novels, due to the extreme literal-mindedness of many of the characters. Sometimes, of course, taking the metaphor a little too far actually works.

From Passing Strange: "...They mimic the phallo-centric narrative of 'verse, chorus, verse, chorus, climax, fade out, smoke a cigarette, turn over, snore all night and never call me again—'" "You know, absence really does make the heart grow into a state of mind which somehow transforms what you once could not stand about your family into a somehow quaint pleasure-giving construct." |

Kitboga is a scambaiter popular on Twitch and YouTube. One of his favorite scammer time-wasters is to tell a long, rambling story that is supposed to be a metaphor of some sort or have An Aesop, which is thoroughly forgotten as the story branches off in five different directions. On rare occasions, the scammer may supply one, which may or may not resemble whatever was originally being driven towards. | |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. On this page, Judy the gorilla smashes Dr McNinja (disguised as Dr. McLuchador) into a tree, hard enough to shatter the tree. The Alt Text reads, "Make like a tree, and shatter into a million pieces." | |

Homestuck: This sort of thing happens quite often when a character tries to come up with a grandiose or dramatic analogy. "Here, stick this in your pipe and bleed to death slowly." Shit is basically flying off the hook. It's like shit wants nothing to do with that hook. The hook filed for divorce from that shit and is now seeking custody of the hook and the shit's two kids. When Karkat contacts John for the second time from his own point of view, he launches into an angry tirade where he first states that they need to get off on the right foot, compares the metaphorical foot's smell to John's misfortune, and then also describes the smell of failure as coming from funeral flowers. Since he can't really understood what the smell is supposed to be coming from, John is very confused. When reuniting with his long-lost robotic plush rabbit, John starts to compare their reunion with Harry Stamper's love for his daughter in Armageddon (1998), before going a lengthy tangent to clarify how their relationship isn't actually like Harry Stamper's love for his daughter and promptly forgetting the point he was making. Here In The Homestuck Epilogues, Dave starts to make a point about how shut-ins like himself and Karkat don't have much room to criticize John for the same habits, as people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, then notes that glass walls wouldn't be a good idea with Karkat's photosensitivity, so they'd probably cover them with fabric or something, so they could throw stones if these were small enough for the impact to be absorbed by the fabric, and concludes that this "provides for a certain threshold of allowable minimum hypocrisy". |

Also Tarquin: Elan, when having some life force drained and then restored: "Whoa... I feel super lightheaded. Except I think my head is pretty dark inside, so I guess I feel darkheaded." [gets restored] "Wow, now my head has the exact right level of lighting!" |

Ryan Packer as played by Marcus Brigstocke in Think the Unthinkable does this all the time, usually in a way that leaves him accidentally insulting himself. For example, a "square peg in a round hole" metaphor ends with him asking the audience to think of him as a large round hole. | |

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Lemony Snicket seems to have an affinity for strange and humorous metaphors of this kind. The Beatrice Letters has, "The day was as cold and bitter as hot chocolate if it had been put in a fridge for several hours and filled with vinegar." In The Penultimate Peril, there is: "Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch, or you might simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it is harder to get a splinter." |

In ancient history, a non-comedic version of this is referred to as a "Homeric Simile".

Questionable Content has fun with this from time to time. For example. This one is even lampshaded. In #4647, Claire's mom has sent her an ominous "I have something to tell you" text. Claire asks where this news is on a scale of "I took a pottery class" to "I have a terminal illness". Her mom responds with "Imagine I took a pottery class and my pottery became extremely famous and now I'm doing pottery full time under a nom de pot. Metaphorically speaking." |

A 1984 installment of Matt Groening's Life in Hell included a few supposed quotations about love by great philosophers from history. They all follow this trope and become increasingly bizarre and ridiculous, finally finishing with this one: "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come." — Nietzsche | |

In one of the numbers in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, the gang has to write a book report on Peter Rabbit. Schroeder's report begins by comparing the story to Robin Hood, and by the end of the song, he so caught up in telling the story of Robin Hood, he's almost forgotten what the report was actually supposed to be about. | |

In The Boondock Saints, Doc tells the invasive Russian mobsters to leave, in a possible Shout-Out to the Back to the Future example above: The bartender and his patrons did this a lot in that scene, though the latter were making fun of the former. He speaks almost exclusively in these. The hilarity is compounded by his Tourette's. |
