"I realized that the plan was _______ when the diagram included hippos with hummus."
Irrational? Unhinged? Defective? Fucked Up?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think unhinged is like crazy--a word used to describe craze, without being a medical definition. If one's banned, I can't see the other being allowed. Although I think banning the one is touchier than I'm ever going to get.
I'm sure someone can make a case against irrational, but they'd be pretty...fucked up.

Out of hand.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I get why crazy could be bad, but like debetesse, I have trouble thinking of alternatives, especially when you are saying things like "crazy in love" or "crazy busy".
I also keep thinking of all the songs I love that feature the the word crazy prominently.

Also the plan with the hippos is a very silly plan.
I have been writing "craxy" thinking that makes it OK but it bugs me when Dan Savage uses "leotarded" as a cutesy alternative to "retarded" so now I'm not so sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Whacky comes from british slang and probably refers to someone who has been hit on the head a lot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
(It's spelt 'wacky'. Don't know the etymology.)

Wordnik says "Variant of whacky, probably from the phrase out of whack; see whack". However, etymology of whacky as imitative doesn't clear up "out of whack" very well.
