Ah, statistics... The ally of mathematics, business and hard science. How infallible. There seems to be a problem here though... What instrument can you use to measure "awesome", for example? How do you calculate a 14% drop in sadness? And then there are the units, often measured using an Abstract Scale — how many millisobs do you need to get one kilocry?note Assuming there are one thousand sobs in a cry, it would be one billion —"kilo" refers by definition to "thousands of" and "milli" refers by definition to "thousandths of." This trope is for when a character cites a numerical value for something which is incapable of being measured. It's almost always done for comedy, though it may appear in more serious works as a sarcastic rejoinder. See also Thing-O-Meter, where the value is actually somehow measurable. Compare/contrast Artistic License – Statistics, which is also about misusing statistics, but with material that actually can be measured. Compare Applied Mathematics and Formula for the Unformulable. Known to overlap with Absolute Comparative in advertising, as in "Now with 50% more delightfulness!" Among the most common uses of this trope is describing somebody as "giving 110%" as a measure of effort. Sister Trope to Insubstantial Ingredients, where the abstract items are part of a recipe. Contrast Made from Real Girl Scouts, where it's a bit too literal. |

A Certain Magical Index's first arc involves Index's friends trying to remove her memory because according to the Church of Necessary Evil, 85% of her memory is taken up by the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a collection of forbidden Magical Grimoires memorised with her photographic memory skills. This leaves 15% of her memory for her daily life, and makes it necessary for the memory to be removed in order for her to survive (the Grimoires cannot be deleted). This is actually subverted, as the memory limit is proven to be wrong by Touma, who gets suspicious on how the Church gets values like 85% and 15%, and learns that the brain has a huge capacity for memory even if the person has photographic memory. Index's friends then realize that they are being used by the Church to protect the secrets of the forbidden Grimoires by limiting her contact with the world via deleting her memory. | |

The Simpsons: One member of the committee creating Poochie says, "I feel we should Rastafy him by... 10% or so." In an early episode where Mr. Burns' company softball team is playing against their Shelbyville analogues, Burns hires a hypnotherapist who attempts to invoke this: Abe Simpson once describes his former Army unit, The Flying Hellfish as, "The fightingest squad, in the fightingest company, in the third-fightingest battalion in the Army!" According to a love letter sent by a secret admirer to Ms Krabappel, "A million poets could try for a million years and describe but three-eighths of your beauty." The Simpson family visits an old apple cider mill that bills itself as "Now 40% Quainter!" |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal The votey in this strip illustrates the proper units of measure for anger, fear, and awkwardness. In "200 Percent", a team is encouraged to give 200%, because the opposing team is three times (shouldn't that be two?) better "using a metric that considers strength, intelligence, stamina, and those intangible qualities that dwell in the heart of a champion." |

He clarifies that he wants to know how happy the guests and animals are, and she stammers that there's no way to quantify happiness. While he doesn't provide a rating scale, he does insist that it can be measured by looking into their eyes. | |

Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) — I.Q.-9: "That's Doctor Sane. He's a little eccentric. About five degrees." Especially silly because it could be an angle or a temperature, and either positive or negative, but in any case, it's still meaningless. The projection angle of an orbital eccentricity is a somewhat more intuitive way to express it. Assuming it's used metaphorically here, that's one way of saying he's 'just a little bit off'. | |

As recounted by the book Sick Little Monkeys, John Kricfalusi's directing style is very "I'll know it when I see it," as he clearly has a difficult time articulating exactly what he wants from artists and actors. For the most part, the artists took it as a personal challenge, assuming that anything they created that didn't result in enraged frustration or outright punishment must have impressed him, but it was also emotionally taxing and contributed to Ren & Stimpy's sluggish production. Billy West had a less positive opinion on this directing style, remembering a particularly grueling session in which he nearly blew his voice out because Kricfalusi's only direction was "You're 98% there." | |

Civilization: As your empire progresses through time, you discover new technologies and civic developments. It's just about understandable how you can quantify an empire's science per turn (important discoveries and so on), but you also generate a quantified amount of culture per turn. This is then put towards developing civics, so developing International Trade requires around 20 Culture. These are even measured to one decimal place. For the gameplay aspects themed around religion, your empire's Faith output is also quantified and described as a rate of output per turn. Civ 6's Gathering Storm expansion added Diplomatic Favor, a quantified resource of your international diplomatic standing (which can be traded and sold to other civs the same way you would a lump of iron). It also added Diplomatic Grievances, a specific figure of how much a given pair of nations have antagonised each other. |

In The Order of the Stick, an angel shows Roy a graph of Belkar's evil against time, measured in Kilonazis. Note that since it is a parodic fantasy world of a particular kind, it could very well be that it is not a "subjective quality" at all but that evil can be really measured objectively there. | |

In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, Jack's Body Double will often remark "And the world just got 25% more handsome!" when summoning his holograms.note Although there were only 2 people who look like Jack (as far as we know) when he summons the holograms, and as he summons two Jack clones this makes 4 Jacks total, meaning the world actually gets 100% more handsome (or 200% of the original handsomeness.) Each time a Jack dies the world becomes 25% less handsome, and 33.3% more handsome when the next one spawns. When the skill ends the world becomes 50% less handsome. Who knows why this wasn't clearly stated in-game. | |

Borderlands: One of the slogans Marcus' vending machines gives for "Torgue" brand guns is: The bit about wood is an in-universe shot at a rival weapons developer, Jakobs, who also makes high damage guns, but includes wood stocks and finish in their design. Averted with Gaige's "20% Cooler" skill, though, which does actually modify your skill cooldowns (although there's no value where it changes it by exactly 20%). Borderlands 2's trailer claims it's "1000 Degrees Hotter" and has "96.5% more WUB WUB" (although since Borderlands contained no "WUB WUB" even just Claptrap's chanting "wub wub wub DROP" would count). A handful of skills have an arbitrary number thrown in just for chuckles, such as "+100% Multi-Kill". In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, Jack's Body Double will often remark "And the world just got 25% more handsome!" when summoning his holograms.note Although there were only 2 people who look like Jack (as far as we know) when he summons the holograms, and as he summons two Jack clones this makes 4 Jacks total, meaning the world actually gets 100% more handsome (or 200% of the original handsomeness.)

Teen Titans (2003): A Double Subversion in the episode "Only Human". Since Cyborg is, well, a cyborg, the machine part of him can measure how much effort he is actually putting in. Part of the episode was Cyborg lamenting that he cannot give 110%... until he finally does it in the final battle by focusing on his humanity. The gauge tops out at 130% before it breaks. | |

In Death Note, L occasionally gives statistics about how right he is. The official guide claims that he makes these up to sound more credible, although in the anime he also does it in his internal monologue when there's no one to impress. Another Word of God claimed that whenever he mentions a statistic at all, he's always 99% sure. So all that "5%" or "47%" or whatever meant he was almost totally sure every time. | |

Professional Wrestling fans often quantify exceptionally bloody matches on the Muta scale. 1 Muta is defined as the amount The Great Muta bled in a 1992 match against Hiroshi Hase, widely held to be one of the goriest matches in history. Thus, Muta ratings are usually fractional or decimal (for example, 1/2 Muta or 0.3 Muta). | |

Futurama: In the episode "Reincarnation", during the 8-bit segment, a sadness meter appears on the top left of the screen keeping track of the Professor's deteriorating esteem. The Professor has a "Coolometer" which measures the popularity of the subject in units of megafonzies. In "Bender's Big Score", he has an instrument for measuring how "doomed" someone is. The unit is "milliDooms". In a DVD commentary, the writers insisted the word "underpants" is 20% funnier than "underwear", attributing the observation to Ken Keeler. Mom's Friendly Robot Company claims that its oil is made with "10% more love" than their competitors. Bender's Gaydar which can receive interference from a gay weather balloon... although, given the various robots and sentient appliances we've seen in the show, this particular instance might be completely literal. Bender's Mad Libs Catch Phrase where he claims to be "40%" of something often extends to concepts, like being "40% lucky." (He somewhat dubiously justifies this one by claiming that his scrap metal composition included "a truckload of horseshoes from the luckiest racehorses in Mexico, who had just been sent to a glue factory.") |

Averted in "The Three Friends Problem" on Peg + Cat when Cat draws a graph indicating that Peg used to like him to infinity and now she only likes him to "about this much" (very low point on the graph) but likes Big Dog instead to infinity. Peg tells him that while there are lots of things that can be compared on a graph, her feelings for him can't be compared to her feelings for Big Dog or anyone else and that he'll always be totally special to her. Later, they both sing about it. | |

Probably the most common parody of this in real life is the milliHelen, a measure of beauty. Helen's beauty launched a thousand ships, in reference to the Greek myth. Thus, a milliHelen is the beauty that launches one ship. Amusingly, this manages to be the rare example of this trope that has a defined value, but in a bit of a Voodoo Shark moment, its definition is just as vague as standard for this trope. A negative amount of milliHelens indicates how many ships would be launched away from the "beauty" in question. Kind of odd, though, mixing metric prefixes with Troy units. |

In "Tom" from Rabbit Hole (2023), John asks Hailey if he's just supposed to trust her now, that he doesn't understand how anyone does that when they only have someone's word. She suggests he just try to trust him 90% more. He gripes that 75% is high and she complains that she deserves at least 80%. He agrees to 80%. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The (partial) Trope Namernote It would've been the Trope Namer outright, but "20% cooler" could refer to temperature, which can be measured, and thus doesn't fit the trope is the episode "Suited for Success", where Rarity asks Rainbow Dash how to improve Dash's dress. Dash simply replies that it needs to be "cooler". When Rarity asks Dash to be more specific, Dash says "it needs to be about 20% cooler." Such maddening vagueness drives Rarity up the wall. The phrase immediately went memetic. Rarity also wants her friends to be 110% satisfied with their dresses. Princess Luna is taught what the concept of "fun" is.note She's a Fish out of Temporal Water and has quite literally never heard the English word "fun" before. After the second game, she expresses her approval with: "HAHA! THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!", another phrase that also took no time to go memetic. Applejack claims to be 50% less afraid than Rainbow Dash in "Castle Mane-ia". In "Scare Master", Rainbow start saying that Fluttershy is only taking "like 90%" of the fun out of Nightmare Night before being interrupted. |

In The Avengers, Tony tells Pepper that she can have 12% of the credit for Stark Tower; he immediately knows that crack is going to come back to haunt him. Later, when Agent Coulson shows up, Pepper lets him in while Tony tries to get rid of him; Tony whispers to Pepper "I thought we were having a moment", and she responds "I was having 12% of a moment." | |

The Zen Ball in Peggle is a Zig-Zagged example. While the word used ("zen") is immeasurable, what it's actually measuring is how much the score of the shot increased over the original, non-zen-assisted shot. | |

The bonus OVA of Angel Beats! has a "Tension Meter"—a Thing-O-Meter, but only visible to the audience—which numerically measures the local concentration of hamminess. It seems to be a percentage, since it usually ranges from 0 to 100; though Shiina yelling "CUUUUUUUTE!" pumps it up to 9999, and near the end it goes negative, indicating anguish or disappointment or something. | |

On one occasion in Sgt. Frog, the A.R.M.P.I.T. platoon's deep sea expedition takes a surprising turn when their submarine is surrounded by mysterious, unseen shapes that command them to leave. Keroro reaches for the intercom button, but accidentally launches the torpedoes instead and hits one of the entities dead-on. The whole crew understandably panics, especially when the sub's sensors reveal that the entity was completely unharmed. | |

In Is This A Zombie?, the main character, a zombie, uses percentages to reference how much power he's using in his attacks relative to the maximum power a normal human can exert. As a zombie, he's not limited by mortal concepts or limitations of strength, but he can—and sometimes does—damage himself if he puts too much power into his attacks. | |
