The occult - what do you mean, Jesus? That's occult to me. It's so far-fetched, it's ridiculous.
Too far-fetched to believe, too obvious to ignore.
Today you have something like A Film by Joe Harry. That is patently asinine and ridiculous.
Reality doesn't have to be plausible. Reality can be as preposterous as it pleases.
The idea of saying 'the handsome Pete Holmes' is preposterous.
I think we might be going a bridge too far.
Sir Frederick “Boy” Browning
The one thing about reality is sometimes it gives you material that is wilder than some of your wildest imagination could come up with.
Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.
To read Transtromer - the best times are at night, in silence, and alone - is to surrender to the far-fetched. It is to climb out of bed and listen to what the house is saying, and to how the wind outside responds. Each of his readers reads him as a personal secret.
The impossible is more believable than the highly improbable.
Such crazy things happen on daytime TV; if you were to take a specific scene out of context, it can sound so far-fetched that you start laughing at the material... and that can take you out of watching the performance.
Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. What it can't be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, D.C., videotaped in flagrante delicto has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U.S. farm policy.
… the most superlatively ridiculous thing
