VIDEO GAME LOGIC!  The logic that makes no sense whatsoever!  However, just how ridiculous can it get?  Put up the most ridiculous one you can think of.

Game - Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Ridiculous Logic - The fact that you can catch a freaking shark with a fishing pole!

What ridiculousness can you think of?

Not to mention the fact that he can only fly when traveling between levels or when affected by power ups.

Game: Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider Trilogy.
Ridiculous Logic: Lara can survive swan diving 8 feet from the ground.

Not sure if this post fits since it's not about a particular game.  

Many FPS games I've played.  

The way the switch to open a door is nowhere near where the door it locks is.  It's like if you want to unlock your garage or front door you have to go a few blocks down and unlock it there, then walk back to your garage or front door.

That seems to be a trend with many games. There's always a lot of backtracking once you find a switch or lever needed to open a door a few rooms away.

Any GTA game: You can kill half the population of the city, get taken down by the police, then after a few hours in hospital you walk out a free man.

Here us some great logic. In Super Mario Galaxy lava flows appear under water. Some great logic right there.

Actually, *nerd mode activated*, lava can flow underwater. I have no idea how it works though.

The Getaway had some pretty awesome logic: to heal a gunshot wound, just lean against a wall.

Not really.

It is possible to catch a shark with a fishing pole.

Yeah true but it's not that clear like it is in the game.

Got a couple.

The Force Unleashed: the apprentice can pull star destroyers out of the sky with The Force, but during the final climactic battle it never occurres to him to simply use The Force blast Darth Vader and Palpatine out of that massive window on the Death Star and out into space.

Bioshock Infinite: Booker can jump off a sky-line and fall at least 100 feet before catching onto another one, yet somehow this doesn't rip his arm off or injure him in the least.

Yeah that doesn't make since at all.

Here is logic from a Action 52 game. A guy can fall fifty feet and survive but touches one thing and died.
