A person or object is described in some way that involves fractions. Oddly, those fractions don't add up to one. The most common form this description takes is "half [one thing], half [another thing], and half [something else]" or extended versions thereof — hence the name — but it can also involve more complicated addition problems. Another common variation is to have a character refer to splitting something "fifty-fifty," then realizing there are more people to split it among, and adjusting the proposed split to "fifty-fifty-fifty," etc. An occasional inversion is to say something is "half-something, half...just half-something" as an insult. Sometimes this is used to suggest that the described thing is paradoxically larger (or smaller) than itself. It is almost always Played for Laughs, unless it's a really bad example of Writers Cannot Do Math. |

Played with in Munchkin. Despite being built from the ground up to parody various role playing game cliches (and the entire concept of role playing games in general), the "Half-Breed" card only lets you play two Race cards at once, as the name implies. To play three Race cards, you'll need a "1/3-Breed" card. (But then, the rules encourage cheating...) | |

D&D 3.5E derivative Pathfinder again makes this mechanically possible via abuse of the various "half-monster" templates. Using only first-party material, it is theoretically possible (though any sensible GM would veto it for a player character) to have a creature that is half-fiend (there are actually ten subvarieties), half-celestial, half-dragon, half-janni, and half-serpent, for a creature two-and-a-half times as big as you'd expect. | |

Stargate SG-1, when the team needed to use a naquadah bomb as the power source to dial a gate, Vala estimated a 70% chance they'd successfully dial out and a 50% chance the bomb would explode. When Mitchell pointed out that this totaled 120%, Vala states that there's some overlap where both happen, subverting this trope. | |

In Anger Management, Chuck claims to be "half Jewish, half Italian, half Mexican." Which is actually possible, because Judaism (even culturally Jewish ancestry specifically) and Mexican/Italian heritage are not mutually exclusive—one of his parents could easily be a Jewish Mexican or Italian.note Since Jewish heritage follows the mother's bloodline, a person is either culturally Jewish or goy depending on the mother; the "half Jewish" bit could have been thrown in simply because Rule of Funny. | |

USA Today published a Back to the Future-themed "Hill Valley Edition" on October 22, 2015, which Back to the Future Part II noted as the day on which Doc Brown purchased a USA Today reporting on the arrest of Marty McFly Jr. The last story on the front page bears the headline, "Public more gullible than ever", and uses Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics to detail an experiment from the Sam Houston Institute of Technology apparently revealing how easily readers might mistake the paper's stories for actual events. The percentages add up to 110%, a gag that the story lampshades... by invoking this trope again. | |

In Animorphs, Ax — and by extension the Andalite race in general — is once described as half blue deer, half centaur, and half scorpion. Then the narrator Lampshades it by saying they realize that it's too many halves. | |

Leftover Soup's Ellen has a propensity towards this, as demonstrated both by her D&D 3.5 character (see Tabletop Games, above) and her description of the Filthy Hippie. | |

On The Good Place, Brent writes an incredibly terrible book which he describes as "half spy novel, half murder mystery, half submarine adventure, half erotic memoir, half political thriller, half golf tutorial, and half commentary on society." Simone snarkily asks, "So it's three and a half books in one?" | |

Bender from Futurama has claimed at various points to be 30% iron, 40% zinc, 40% titanium, 40% lead, and 40% dolomite (that last one having at least some demonstrable truth to it because he survived swimming in molten lava). According to the Professor, he's mostly made up of a titanium-osmium alloy with a .3% nickel impurity. | |

This can happen in Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition due to abuse of the various "half-x" templates. Some supplementary materials try to Handwave this by say that species that can produce half-X templates have such strong genes that the template still applies even if the child is a quarter or eighth of that species, but that still doesn't account for the fact that certain half-x templates have full blooded counterparts as templates and that the baseline races that these templates can be applied to include various Heinz Hybrids, some of which are stated to be distant descendants of said templates. This means that you could have a Fiendish Half-Fiend Tiefling who was 153% Fiend and 97% Human. The solution? Be the game master and veto the character. | |

When Grace, Nanase and Ellen return from fighting Damian in El Goonish Shive, Mr Verres's reaction is "half-overjoyed that nobody he cared about was seriously injured, half-enraged over their recklessness, half-exhausted after a long night, and half-relieved that the Damian threat was over." | |

In the South Park episode "ManBearPig", Al Gore describes the eponymous monster as being "half man, half bear, half pig." When we actually see ManBearPig exactly as Gore imagines him in the Imaginationland episodes, it does in fact look part man, part bear, and part pig in some proportion. Other characters point out that this is too many halves, and instead describe it as "half man and half bearpig", or some such version. | |
