On a Scale From One To Ten, this is the subversion. Basically, Off the Scale applied to reviews: the movie/video game/whatever has made such an impact on the reviewer that he is willing to break the usual rules of classification of his medium to rate it. Usually done when something is bad, though there may be exceptions; it may be a Crowning Moment of Awesome if the score is higher than anything on the scale. There are six categories:

| - On a Scale From One To Ten, this is the subversion. Basically, Off the Scale applied to reviews: the movie/video game/whatever has made such an impact on the reviewer that he is willing to break the usual rules of classification of his medium to rate it. Usually done when something is bad, though there may be exceptions; it may be a Crowning Moment of Awesome if the score is higher than anything on the scale. There are six categories:
* Type 0: This is discussed--that is, the reviewer openly admits to being tempted to go outside the established bounds of the rating system, but ultimately the reviewer adheres to the rating scale.
* Type 1: The score is simply outside the established bounds of the reviewer's usual ratings scale (compare Rank Inflation and F Minus Minus);
* Type 2: The score is paired with a nonsensical or unusual unit of measure;
* Type 3: The score is itself a nonsensical value (and quite often a Take That);
* Type 4: The reviewer admits to having no idea what score to give it (this is essentially a shrug);
* Type 5: And the Logical Extreme, the reviewer simply--and often explicitly--refuses to assign a rating at all. This can be because the reviewer found the work downright repulsive, or the reviewer found the work to be unworthy of a rating, or it could be because the reviewer decided that a rating was otherwise inapplicable. Sometimes overlaps with Dancing Bear. Examples of Broke the Rating Scale include:
