Well, “inconceivable” has two meanings: literally, it means that you cannot form a mental image, but metaphorically it means imposible or highly improbable. Vezzini is using the word in the figurative sense, while I suspect that Inigo is being too literal.

I always took it as simply as “Why do you keep saying things aren’t possible/probable when they keep happening one after the other? Maybe you’re just not as smart a planner as you thought?”
It was just a dig that Vezzini kept covering for his lousy planning and overblown sense of intelligence by claiming that none of the problems could have been imagined.

That’s how I always understood it also. And quite frankly any other interpretation is just, just, just …(wait for it)…
inconceivable!

Look at it from Inigo’s point of view.
Inigo is supposed to be mentally inferior to the Sicilian. . .perhaps not knowing – but guessing at – the meaning of the word, “inconceivable”.
So, when several “inconceivable” things happen, the joke is that the Sicilian has the definition wrong, not that his conceptions are wrong.
[/QUOTE]
Also as a Spaniard Inigo obviously still has a little trouble with the English. That’s why its funny he is the one telling Vizzini he is using the word wrong.

nope – it’s “…what in the world can that be?”
Nice try, though.

That’s an AWFUL picture of Cary Elwes – the guy doesn’t look that bad (Look at him in Saw, for instance. I think Elwes is a talented actor, but I’m disappointed at how little he’s done.
The picture of Billy Crystal is unflattering and bad, too.
[/QUOTE]
On the other hand, the picture of Mandy Patinkin has him looking the best he has in a few years, IMO - the couple episodes of Criminal Minds I’ve seen, he’s looked about to collapse in on himself.
Elwes and Crystal both seem to have put on some weight, and seem to have been caught in an awkward pose, with their heads pulled back, which really accentuates the fat in their faces.

I never saw as a dig- just that Fezzik was trying to be helpful- maybe the word didn’t mean what Vezzini thought it did because the opposite of the inferred meaning (to Fezzik) was coming to pass. He just wanted to point that discrepency out to Vezzini, in case Vezzeni was wrong.
I always saw Fezzik as earnest.
