Aluminum Christmas Trees	comment	A story element that exists or existed in Real Life but is assumed to be fictional by the audience, often because it seems too unlikely, bizarre, or kitschy to be real. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction... The Trope Namer comes from the 1965 Peanuts TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas, in which Lucy instructs Charlie Brown to "get the biggest aluminum tree you can find [...] Maybe painted pink!" Aluminum Christmas trees? In pink?! Obvious hyperbole about the artificiality of Christmas, right? Nope: The '50s and The '60s had their share of oddball kitsch, and the aluminum Christmas tree was real. They were artificial trees with foil needles, not hollow metal cones as seen in the special, but they definitely existed, and you could even get them in pink. They were usually called "tinsel trees", which is the name under which they are marketed today. There are many videos on YouTube showing how to set up, restore and repair them.note And you can buy them online. So why do viewers assume these shiny spruces must be fictional? Well as it happened, A Charlie Brown Christmas contributed to their demise. After the special aired, sales plummeted, and tinsel trees had all but disappeared by 1971.note It wasn't the end for artificial trees, but the fashion turned toward verisimilitude instead of an openly-synthetic look. And as mentioned above, the tinsel tree is still for sale and is even making something of a comeback. In short, when a quaint element of Real Life appears in a work of fiction, the audience might mistake it for part of the fiction. The usual reason is lack of familiarity with the object, so it is more likely to trip up those viewing the work from a different perspective (e.g. years after the work was created, or from another culture). And most "aluminum Christmas trees" are, like the original, a bit out-of-the-ordinary and kitschy. Even so, it's immensely funny (to those in the know) when someone dismisses a Real Life element as patently absurd and "unrealistic". This can also occur in works where the writers did do the research, but the truth they uncovered is so bizarre or surprising that audiences think they must have just made it up. In this case, writers may add a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer. Of course, just because something once existed doesn't mean that it was commonplace. This is why period pieces which did their homework (all the costumes are reconstructions or composites of documented outfits, for example) can still reveal the cultural assumptions of the time in which THEY were created. Compare Technology Marches On, Once Original, Now Common, Defictionalization, and Poe's Law. A subtrope of Reality Is Unrealistic, Values Dissonance, and Truth in Television. Can also be used as a means of Shown Their Work. Frequently found in Unintentional Period Pieces. If even the creators were unaware that the "tree" was real, it's Accidentally-Correct Writing. When this occurs in-universe, it's either Eskimos Aren't Real, or the work will give a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer. It could simply be a case of Small Reference Pools. noreallife

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_1bdeba5a	comment	Many raised eyebrows when X-Men introduced the villainous character Manuel Enduque, a West African teenage billionaire whose wealth comes from a family tradition of human trafficking that goes all the way back to his great-great-grandfather, thinking that the idea to have an African who profited from slave trading was done purely to be edgy. In fact, there was a thriving slave trade amongst African and Arabian nations long before Europeans arrived and established the Trans-Atlantic Slave Routes, and even to this day, many West Africans descended from slavers feel no shame about what their ancestors did, or even regard them with pride for the wealth and power they enjoyed.

The fandom reacted with surprise that Tite Kubo, a famous music geek, would be wrong about jazz existing back then. However, in a small joke sketch in that volume, the author informs the character that 'jazz' doesn't actually exist yet, leaving Shinji confused over what he's listening to. The implication is that Shinji is listening to ragtime, which these days is often viewed as an early form of jazz.

Ditto for WV's and Gamzee's Trademark Favorite Drinks, Tab and Faygo, respectively. More understandable if you're viewing the comic from somewhere outside of North America. American Homestucks well aware of the existence of Fruit Gushers likely didn't realize that said fruitsnacks were a product of Betty Crocker until reading the comic either. Even then, they probably thought that was made up as one of the smaller examples of how much of the world the Betty Crocker corporation has control over.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_25d97c04	comment	The British Secret Intelligence Service is popularly called MI6, thanks to the James Bond series. So, the name "Secret Intelligence Service" seemed too "spy-like" to be real and looks like a fictional agency created by the show. MI-5 and MI-6 were real organizations with responsibility for domestic (MI-5) and overseas (MI-6) human-intelligence assets. DetailsThe terms come from offices in the British War Office in and around World War I; 17 different MI — for "Military Intelligence" — numbers were used, from MI-1 to MI-19, handling a variety of war-oriented duties (MI-13 and MI-18 were never used). With the exception of 5 and 6, none had intelligence responsibilities as the term is used today.

What most viewers don't know is that there is an actual park like the one Riley visited in Arizona. They may know of the older, more famous Cabazon Dinosaurs in California, though. The storyline of the Disney Infinity 3.0 playset based on the film starts when Riley accidentally changes the channel from a channel that showed nothing but videos of cats. The channel in question was based on the now defunct Puppy Channel.

But this is what happens to them in the Brothers Grimm version — one sister cutting off her big toe and the other her heel, and the birds blinding them afterwards. Likewise instead of a Fairy Godmother, Cinderella prays at a tree planted on her mother's grave.

The exact quote is a case of Beam Me Up, Scotty!, and was coined by a Spidey fan writing in response to the story. Quesada, upon being asked why he essentially responded with "It's magic. We don't need to explain it," in regards to the story, said that other Marvel characters used magic and no one needed an explanation for those.

In real life though, it's been known to happen. While the ones present in Naruto are stylized, some types of Japanese armor really did use forehead protectors, sometimes taking the form of a headband. In Naruto Gaiden, Karin is shown to have put Sarada's umbilical cord into a box. Many non-Japanese fans were confused by this, but it's an actual Japanese tradition akin to cutting a piece of a baby's hair and putting it away.

Many people were surprised to find out that Molassia actually exists — and that they actually got President Baugh to play himself. The part where Baugh dresses up in a different uniform and insists he is not the President but rather one of his Ministers also seems like a gag for the series, but it's actually a standard part of the bit and he has several more costumes they didn't use. All the filming took place in Molassia as well.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_35bceb50	comment	In Hamlet, the title character tells Horatio he endorses Fortinbras as king in the ensuing election. The Danish nobility of that era did, in fact, elect the king. By Shakespeare's time it had become common for son to follow father on the throne, but that was by no means automatic, and the Kings had to invest significant political capital in making it happen. It took a coup d'etat perpetrated by the reigning King (yes, that's a thing) in 1660 to make the throne automatically inheritable.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_362874e3	comment	Many modern American viewers can't make sense of a scene in the original Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Lt. Green is manning the gun turret on a moon rover. After blowing up all the enemies (for the moment), he asks, "Do I get a coconut?" The response is something like, "When we get out of this, you'll have all the coconuts you can eat." This is often misinterpreted as a racist joke. It's actually a reference to Coconut Shies, where coconuts were a common prize. They're still common enough at fairs in England. As is memorialized in the old novelty song, "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts".

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_3953baf0	comment	Many non-European viewers of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame consider Esmeralda Ambiguously Brown, but her ethnicity actually is "gypsy". Gypsies, or Romani as they're more correctly called, are descended from nomads who left India hundreds of years ago. Many people who have never met a Romani don't realize that "gypsy" is an actual ethnic group and not just a term for nomadic travelers. To add to the confusion, like most adaptations, Disney gave the character a Race Lift (in the book she was a stolen white baby raised by the gypsies). Due to the Unfortunate Implications of this, most adaptations cut this part out. With that said, Disney's version of Esmeralda does have a darker skin tone than even the other Romani in the film, so she may be Ambiguously Brown after all.

Listeners tend to think it's just about McDonald's in general, and are therefore puzzled by lyrics like "McDonalds is the place to rock" and "people flock here to get down to the rock music" and assume they are simply part of Willis' unconventional songwriting style. Rock N' Roll McDonalds was an actual place—a large flagship McDonalds restaurant full of rock and roll memorabilia in Willis' home city of Chicago.

With how pathetic of an excuse this is, combined with the fact that while the rest of the video is filled with footnotes clarifying and elaborating on other details, this part doesn't have any, it's easy to write this off as an exaggerated joke mocking Schettino for how poorly he handled the situation. Yet according to news reports, Schettino really did try to use this as an excuse for why he fled.

The rather frequent and narmy use of the term doesn't help it sound too much like a real word either. Two of the items dispensed by SCP-261 are "Pepsi: Dragon Twist" and Mountain Dew: Doritos Blaze". In real life, Pepsi produced a limited dragonfruit flavor called Pepsi X to sponsor The X Factor in 2012, while Mountain Dew experimented with a "Dewitos" flavor in 2014, but it never went into production. Chocolate penises filled with white chocolate or fondant are a thing too.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_44715363	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Duelist Kingdom arc featured a famously altered ruleset from the real game, which led to many kids of the era deriding it for not following the rules of the card game—most evidently, the lack of Tribute Summoning. The thing is, the card game actually did use such a ruleset for about three months, before switching to an "Expert" ruleset. Tribute Summoning was essentially an Obvious Rule Patch to curtail how absurdly overpowered cards like Blue-Eyes were. The manga even acknowledged this by noting that Battle City (which introduced Tributes to its version of the game) would be using similar rules. An unnamed Rare Hunter in the Battle City arc is known for using a deck focused on Exodia, featuring three copies of every part of Exodia, along with multiple copies of the draw-based card Graceful Charity. Many fans assume his decklist to be a sign of cheating (and it certainly doesn't hurt that his cards are noted to be counterfeit, and he explicitly does cheat in the anime), since the Exodia pieces and Graceful Charity were limited to one copy per deck at best throughout the TCG's lifecycle, but there was a period of about half a year in the OCG where players could indeed use up to three copies of the Exodia pieces and Graceful Charity. At the time the Rare Hunter was introduced in the manga, his deck would have been basically legal.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_44e0b783	comment	Garfield: In one strip where he put on a singing performance on top of the fence, he had money thrown at him by the resident of some distant Pacific island in the form of a millstone. The Yap islands in the Pacific really do use enormous round stone discs with a hole in the middle as a form of currency. See The Other Wiki for details. Anyone who grew up in the '60s or '70s would remember the Yap stone coin's frequent appearances in Ripley's Believe It or Not! on the funny pages, but everyone else.... In one strip, Jon purchased a "battery powered battery charger". At first glance, this seems like an absurd waste of money, but in fact many people carry external battery packs to recharge the batteries in their phones and other portable electronics when there's no power outlet available.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_48ed41c8	comment	Pocahontas: John Smith ends the film sailing back to England on a months long sea voyage to get better treatment for a gunshot wound than the Powhatans had. Some viewers think this is ridiculous; that a months-long sea voyage would only put his life in more danger. Except that's exactly what happened (although he was injured in a gunpowder accident rather than being shot by the Big Bad) and he did survive the voyage. The Green Aesop of "Colors of the Wind" actually ties into traditional Native American values, specifically the religion of Animism. That is the belief that all natural phenomena has a soul (reflected in the lyrics "but I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name"). The presence of Grandmother Willow — a spirit of a talking willow tree — is a representation of this belief too. The sequel has a moment where Chief Powhatan gives Pocahontas's escort to London a staff — and tells him to cut a notch on it for every "white face" he sees, so they can get an idea of their numbers. This is something the real man actually did.

Many people may find young teenage girls riding around in World War II era flying equipments on the frontlines of the war to be the most ridiculous things that they've ever heard. Well, just try to tell that to the veterans of the Night Witches and the 586th Fighter Regiment, many of which had pilots as young as the girls in the show. Even better, one of the show's main supporting characters was even based on the Ace Pilot of the latter regiment, who is also the current record holder for the greatest number of kills by a single female fighter pilot.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: A number of readers on the MS Paint Adventures forum didn't realize that John's Trademark Favorite Food, Fruit Gushers, are an actual product. Ditto for WV's and Gamzee's Trademark Favorite Drinks, Tab and Faygo, respectively. More understandable if you're viewing the comic from somewhere outside of North America. American Homestucks well aware of the existence of Fruit Gushers likely didn't realize that said fruitsnacks were a product of Betty Crocker until reading the comic either. Even then, they probably thought that was made up as one of the smaller examples of how much of the world the Betty Crocker corporation has control over. The troll culture might seem like an over-the-top spoof of militaristic civilisations and Proud Warrior Races. In fact, many elements of troll society — including all citizens above a certain age being automatically drafted into the military, a strict class-based society with the lower classes being freely abused by the higher classes, and babies being left in a hostile environment at birth to fend for themselves — were practiced by the original Proud Warrior Race Guys, the Spartans. Another thing that surprises a lot of people is the fact that "I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew" was not made up for Homestuck: it was written by ragtime singer Eddie Norton in 1909, and the Midnight Crew are named after it, not the other way around. The a capella cover of the song usually featured in the comic is a modern performance, however, sung by David Ko in 2011. The original version is owned by Terezi as a vinyl record and can be listened to here.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_63230cb	comment	Dragon Ball Z Abridged: In Episode 19, Vegeta tries to prepare Gohan for the fight with the Ginyu Force by comparing it to various Toku shows. Gohan didn't know any of them... except for the last of a long list, Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. Judging by the comments in several YouTube videos of that series, a lot of people were surprised to find that the show was real, and not just a joke. Amusingly, prior to making the episode, neither did Team Four Star themselves: when they were writing the joke and needed the most obscure Western Toku-style show possible, KaiserNeko's husband suggested Tattooed Teens, only for the others to say "That existed?!" A clip of that same show used as a gag on Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack sparked so much confusion, he had to amend his reviewing schedule just to prove it was real. Likewise, quite a few people unfamiliar with the original dubs of the show had no idea that Piccolo's motivational speech after his fusion with Nail was taken directly from them. In another Piccolo example, Abridged occasionally has characters refer to him as "Big Green". This is another reference to an old dub of the show, where Piccolo was renamed to Big Green. Cell's comment about how by the time Goku was in his teens, he'd "defeated an army, several demons, and sent a rabbit to the moon" had Trunks asking "Did you make that last one up?" A lot of comments on any video dealing with early Dragon Ball villain Monster Carrot tend to get a response along the lines of "huh, Cell didn't make it up." According to the commentary, several viewers didn't realize that the scene of Gohan pissing on Krillin in Dead Zone was actually in the original movie.

This would explain how both the Buzz Lightyear action figure in Toy Story and the series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command could have been spun off from this movie. Moreover, there were a few instances of media aimed at families or younger viewers showing or at least alluding to same-sex relationships in the 1990s. Examples include Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (a series aimed primarily at teenagers), Xena and Gabrielle on Xena: Warrior Princess, and the same-sex kiss in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Rejoined".

Miura loves to draw elaborate and fantastical armors with animal-shaped parts and other decoration, many of which did not exist but are inspired by almost equally wild parade and costume armors that survive in museums; he even directly copies some museum pieces, such as the armor worn by Lord Gennon in the Battle of Doldrey which is shaped to simulate puffed-and-slashed clothing of the early 16th century. For the Kushans, a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of India with some "Arabian Nights" Days thrown in, he depicts real weapons and armor that most Western readers have never even heard of: examples include Silat's urumi swords, with multiple flexible whip-like blades, and the maduvu used by the monstrous Daka soldiers, which consist of two blackbuck antelope horns pointing in opposite directions and connected by two crossbars which serve as grips. One of Mozguz's disciples uses a strange weapon resembling a spiked collar on a pole, which clamps around a victim's head. It seems so outlandish that such weapons appearing in other works have been misidentified as Berserk references. Not only is it a real weapon, it's still used today by riot control officers in some countries, including Japan.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_7466d203	comment	In the original productions of the musical Spring Awakening, the punk rock-esque hairstyles some of the boys sported are assumed by many to be a result of the show's Anachronism Stew, but in fact, the director claims that they were inspired by some actual hairstyles in photos from the era. Also, those unfamiliar with the 19th century play the musical is based on (if they even know there is one) can be surprised to find that many scenes from the musical that seem to touch on modern controversial topics, such as one featuring a kiss between two boys, or the female protagonist's back-alley abortion, were, in fact, in the original.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_7965bb13	comment	Citadel of the Heart Digimon Re: Adventure has an unorthodox example because it mostly revolves around all of these different things existing in the same place, of an area in Japan that just so happens to be Odaiba from Digimon Adventure. For starters, there is a mall complex named "AQUA CiTY" that has literally the only thing fictional shown within it in the fic being the Chrome Digizoid reinforcement. Yes, this means that the android receptionist is real as well. Digimon Re: Tamers has something significantly more mundane being presented as Ruki is presented as being a G-Rated Alcoholic by having an addiction to soda as opposed to alcohol. The author explains this by stating since Ruki is too young for alcohol, he chose soda as a replacement, because based off of the author's own experiences with sugary and caffeinated soda himself, he has indeed experienced many symptoms akin to withdrawal from a lack of soda on the schedule he's allowed some each day of the week. So this is more so being a case of Write What You Know accidentally being subject to this, because the author didn't expect he'd have to actually explain this to his friends who were confused by this at first.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: One of the more frequent nitpicks about the comics is the corruption of the Gotham City Police Department, from the Bronze Age onward. People thought that there's no way a major city could be that openly and utterly corrupt without someone (city government, the Feds) stepping in and cleaning house. Then you get a look at stories about New York City and Chicago, from as recently as the early 90s. Mob control of both departments (in addition to the courts and local government) was near absolute and took the FBI decades to break their hold. In Batman: Year One, several high ranking police members attempt to kill Batman by ordering the abandoned building he was in at the time bombed by helicopter. The idea of law enforcement air bombing residential city space seems absurd, but was probably inspired by an incident in Philadelphia which occurred a few years before the comic was written. The Dark Knight Strikes Again: Linkara had thought that the News in the Nude segments were made up and was rather incredulous of the idea. While it is a paid service, Naked News is indeed a real thing. Speaking of sex workers, the idea of women in sexy cosplays of superheroes was treated in and out of universe with similar incredulity. Fast forward to the 2010s, it's become more mainstream.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_7d2932f7	comment	Trinton Chronicles features seemingly impossible future technologies, several of which are actually being tested in Europe and Asia right now, including: Mag-Lev Trains: Trains that ride on magnetic thrusting power like a roller coaster using LMS launch systems. Japan is a world leader of this super silent and fast system but France is building an infrastructure based on Mag-levs. The first commercially operated Maglev train was a 1984 low speed system at Birmingham airport. The first commercial high speed Maglev line is the Shanghai Transrapid, which was developed by the German company Transrapid International and completed in 2003. Recycle Tanks: Pay-As-You-Recycle devices that give change for weight of aluminum, plastic, and paper. Paper-Thin Phones: Actually real world tech is going into making cellphones disposable and paper-thin using nano fibers and microchips the size of ants. Hydrogen Power Cars: A new fuel source using hydrogen gas to power cars. Testing in Germany mostly, although there was a bit of a push in California in the mid 00s. The main problem is people's fear of what will happen in an accident (The Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen, and look how that turned out.)

Nazi forces attempting to besiege a castle being successfully held off by a motley assortment of American GIs, French POWs, Austrian resistance fighters, and deserting Wehrmacht troops? 7000 Germans being forced into retreat by a numerically inferior Russian bayonet charge even after the Russians had suffered a gas attack so devastating that they were literally coughing up bloody flesh and pieces of their own organs as they charged?

Fans of the Insane Clown Posse will recognize it as the band's drink of choice. For added surprise, Rock & Rye is both a whiskey cocktail and a commercial liqueur made with rye whiskey and rock sweets. Some fans were likewise unaware that Hawk the Slayer is a real movie. This is somewhat more justified than the Faygo example as Hawk is one of the few films mentioned by actual name; most of the time the characters mention a movie, the title is a made up one. Though this may become less of an example since Hawk the Slayer has been featured on Rifftrax.

He maintained this facade well into the Bronze Age, long after such markers had become forgotten relics — but there's still a line of them running across the United States, and yes, they used to be painted bright yellow. "Kenan Kong", or in Chinese name order "Kong Kenan", is a plausible Chinese name, even if it reminds some of the very un-Chinese Kenan & Kel and King Kong. Parsed by Chinese characters, it would be Kong Ke-nan. And Kong is the surname of none other than Confucius (derived from Kong Fu-zi).

If they sprout within a few days, that means she's pregnant as is the case. While there is no evidence that Vikings practiced this, this was an actual method of finding out if a woman was with child since the times of 14th century BCE Ancient Egypt and was practiced into the medieval period.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_b0f886e7	comment	Also, a lot of players may be surprised to learn that a fair amount of the more ridiculous monsters of Dungeons & Dragons are actually derived from real mythology. Most notably the Peryton (a stag-headed eagle that needs humanoid hearts to reproduce) and Al'Miraj (a giant unicorn-horned bunny). The Peryton is, funnily enough, something of an inversion as well; its earliest mention dates back to 1957, and it's believed it was created as a joke along the lines of "people will believe anything if you say it's in a lost medieval bestiary." One of the most iconic dragons, Tiamat, is a real part of the Babylonian mythology. That said, the mythical Tiamat as described in the EnÃ»ma EliÅ¡ looked nothing like the five-headed dragon from the show/game. Similarly, many players might be surprised to learn that Bahamut is a real part of Arabian mythology, though just like Tiamat most of what you see in pop culture is a modern invention. Bahamut was never the mortal enemy of Tiamat (they're not even from the same pantheon!) and bore more resemblance to a fish than a dragon.

However, they are very similar to the real beguine movement in Middle Ages Northern Europe, which similarly involved women living together as a religious order with significantly laxer conditions than full nuns — notably, and as depicted in the comic, they were allowed to own property and run businesses, and to leave the community without question if they decided that they wanted to marry a man.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_b2700e28	comment	Part of the humor in If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device is that even the weirdest of elements used have shown up at some point or another, and are usually entirely canon. The biggest one is the Adeptus Custodes being hellaciously Stripperiffic, which came from a few references straight out of the First edition of Warhammer 40K that weren't contradicted until the 8th Edition (long after Text To Speech made the joke). Indeed, many believe it was this series' portrayal of the "Fab Custodes" that prompted the new material. While Karstodes receives a lot of mockery for thinking there's a Warboss called Big Green, he is correct, down to the book and page he references to try and justify himself. During the Fourth special, Kitten stops Magnus' dramatic speech about the power and millennial legacy of the Ouija Board by asking "Why does it say 'Hasbro Incorporated'?" Hasbro does own the Ouija trademark and has sold boards before. From the Eight short, crotalids. You'd think they would be entirely made up for the sake of Steve Irwin jokes, since Warp-dwelling crocodiles are generally kind of a ridiculous concept, but they are entirely canon. Just as the Deathwatch books say, gigantic crocs that can migrate through Hell itself for no conceivable reason genuinely exist in the Warhammer universe.

This sounds like a cheeky joke that Mega 64 would make but it's based off an urban legend where Japan decided to restrict sales of Dragon Quest to weekends due to children skipping classes and violence over lack of supply. While it's true that there were children skipping class to buy the game, the legend is false; there never was a law placed to restrict sales and the games being released on weekends was done voluntarily by Enix in order to avoid bad press.

However, the honey he eats is crystallised "set" or "creamed" honey, where the honey crystals are ground very fine to prevent a grainy texture. This has sometimes not been encountered by readers or viewers before, leading to confusion due to the lack of similarity with "runny" honey. "Runny" honey will itself crystallise over time, but these crystals are much larger than those in "set" honey.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_c511c682	comment	Asterix is mostly Purely Aesthetic Era and the kind of deliberately inaccurate things French children half-remember from primary school history, but the creators did do a lot of research by reading contemporary Roman reports, and occasionally this shows. For instance, according to the Romans (the Celtic people, as a rule, left no written records) the historical Gauls really were said to be terrified of the sky falling on their heads, and to have shot arrows at the sky during thunderstorms to just dare it to come down. Occasionally Cacofonix will be depicted with instruments besides his signature lyre, usually a ridiculous-looking bagpipe-like thing and an even more ridiculous horn with an animal head, all of which are the instruments the real Gauls would have used — bagpipe-like instruments were known to have been played by the Romans (notably by Nero, who was also said to have been very bad at it), and the horn is a carnyx, a kind of early trumpet with a boar's mouth-shaped bell. At Varius Flavus's orgy in Asterix in Switzerland, the women are wearing ridiculous, apocalyptic hairstyles with a bonnet-shaped mass of tight curls at the front of the head. That is a hairstyle seen quite commonly on busts of rich Roman women. One gag in Asterix the Gladiator involves a trio of Romans in silly costumes walking into the arena covered in advertising slogans before a gladiator fight, while Caesar wonders whether or not people are bothered by all of the commercials. This is obviously a joke about television advertising, but was an actual practice — gladiator matches were preceded by advertising and sometimes the gladiators themselves would carry advertising pennants, wear slogans or use sponsored equipment.note The "Drinka Jara Wina Day" guys are a parody of an actual (and ubiquitous) British promo for the National Milk Marketing Board, "Drinka Pinta Milka Day." The campaign started in 1958 and ran for many years. The Romans weren't even the first to do this, as there are accounts of Product Placement in ancient commentaries on Greek plays. Whilst the "Place That Sends You Mad" in The 12 Tasks of Asterix is perceived as a sendup of modern-day unhelpful governmental public service departments, the Roman empire actually was one of the earliest civilizations to have the kind of complex, sprawling bureaucracy needed to spawn such locales.

A lot of comments on any video dealing with early Dragon Ball villain Monster Carrot tend to get a response along the lines of "huh, Cell didn't make it up."

However, Dieter Meier confirmed in a 1985 interview with Vinyl magazine that he was a real person, specifically a notoriously bizarre Augustinian monk named Abraham a Sancta Clara. The Domingo title (taken from the Spanish word for Sunday) was tacked on purely because Meier liked the word.

As it turns out, there were in fact Jews who joined the fascist movement, and many Italian fascists who opposed antisemitism. note Initially, Mussolini's fascism movement was one that rejected the racial policies of the Nazis, as most Italians saw Jews as part of the Italian nation. Mussolini was mostly ambivalent toward Jews, and only embraced anti-semitism in order to increase his ties with Nazism.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_e0401cf2	comment	There's a 1940s JSA comic that consists of anti-German war propaganda, which claims (among other things) that the German people are violent by nature. One example of this "natural German barbarity" was called "scar dueling," where young men from high-end academies would fence with the intention of scarring each other's faces, then wear the scars as a status symbol. More than one modern reader thought this was ridiculous propaganda, except it was an actual occurrence in German academies! The scar was called a "schmiss". Left unsaid was the fact that the student organizations where this was so common were actually suppressed by the Nazis. Mensur dueling is a tradition among many of the German equivalent to American fraternities ("Studentenverbindung", types of which include "Burschenschaften", "Corps", "Landsmannschaften" etc). Nowadays it is not mainstream any more, which they were and it was in those times, and the scars ("Schmiss", pl. "Schmisse") are no longer a status symbol accepted throughout society, deliberately sought, deliberately emphasized (by deliberately bad stitching, by adding dirt to the wounds, by excessive use of alcohol specifically aimed at impeding the healing of the fresh wounds), which they were at the time, but rather a prominent (very recognizable, definitely not universally desirable) side effect. Here's the type of safety equipment◊ worn for a mensur duel in the late 1950's; unlike a normal fencing mask, it protects the eyes, nose, and throat but leaves the cheeks and forehead vulnerable. In Star Trek: New Frontier, it is assumed (though never said outright) that Katerina Mueller's scar was from a mensur duel from her Heidelberg days. Apparently, the practice is still in existence in the 24th century (though probably on the DL). There is a Genius Bonus about that in Batman: The Animated Series, where Duvall tells Jonah Hex "You cannot defeat me. I am a Heidelberg fencing champion". Jonah is not impressed...

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_e25322af	comment	Homestar Runner: In the short "Meet Marshie," the title talking marshmallow mascot advertises "all-marshmallow mayonnaise." To those not in the know, it just sounds like a silly (and rather disgusting) idea, but marshmallow creme is an actual product and is used for making actual sandwiches — for example, a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich is called a Fluffernutter. Of course, that didn't stop Homestar from using the mayonnaise to make Marzipan a veggie burger. In the idle Strong Bad Email animation on the Homestar Runner Toons menu, Strong Bad tells a sender that there is "no such thing" as too much salty plum soda. Such a beverage does exist and it is popular in Vietnam. In another email, Strong Bad misinterprets the "CA" after a correspondent's name as a title of "Certified Arborist". That sounds like the sort of word salad that he and his costars drop on a regular basis — and many word processors' and browsers' spell checkers don't even acknowledge "arborist" as a real word — but there is indeed such a profession. Similarly, in the game "Peasant's Quest," looking at a particular tree brings up the message "It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown!" which is indeed the name of an actual Peanuts special and not a parody of how Peanuts had a special for seemingly every holiday. The Cloitsterizer, a wooden Cartoon Cheese on a string first seen in the Strong Bad Email Suntan, is based on a real toy the creators saw a kid dragging around at a thrift store. They're actually mass-produced and known as lacing cheese, and are meant to teach lacing and sewing skills to toddlers. In the email "lunch special", Coach Z orders a "cod plank platter", which sounds like a made-up foodstuff akin to "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice" in the same email, but is a real menu option from Mandy's Pizza.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: A major plot point in the first game is the Statute of Limitations on an old murder case being almost up. Just another aspect of the series' ridiculous Kangaroo Court, right? No, Japan really did have a Statute of Limitations on murder until 2010. The abolition applied to all murders that were still active under the prior Statute, i.e. within the past 15 years. Given that the murder in question happened in 2001, the plotline for the revisit in 2016 falls under the assumption the law would remain. Non-Japanese players might be surprised to learn that the Defense Attorney's and Prosecutor's badges in the series are the designs of the actual lapel pins worn by Japanese legal professionals. The court system itself (no jury, enormous amount of power in the hands of the prosecutor, no respect for defense attorneys) is only a minor exaggeration of the Real Life justice system in Japan at the time the games first came out. Case 4 in Spirit of Justice has a few examples. Time Soba and Soba Glutton are both real Rakugo routines, and English-language karuta cards do exist. They're often used to teach Japanese speakers English phrases and idioms.

Aluminum Christmas Trees / int_eef5470a	comment	Rurouni Kenshin: The title character fits this in two respects. One, he's loosely based on an actual person, and likewise, so were a number of the other characters (see below). Kenshin's original was named Kawakami Gensai. Potentially, Kenshin's Bishōnen to the point of Dude Looks Like a Lady appearance could be an example of this. Word of God states that Gensai had feminine features and carried out assassinations in broad daylight because people thought he was a woman and allowed him to get close enough, and at one point was said to have hid out in a brothel following an assassination. It also might have something to do with Uesugi Kenshin,note Kenshin is not Himura's birth name. He was orphaned and given that name by his master, who might have been inspired by Uesugi Kenshin, who was a famous swordsman who is presented as a bishonen in some historical fiction works. On top of that, there have been some speculations that Uesugi Kenshin was secretly a woman. Shinomori Aoshi was based off historical character Hijikata Toshizo, and his boss Kanryuu based on Takeda Kanryuusai. Also, there really was a Saito Hajime. And Saito Hajime was married, which the author predicted would be so unbelievable that there was a tag that said "This is historical fact" when Saito mentions he's married. He also spent much of his later life as a school teacher and died of an ulcer.

The author had to explain both on the Internet and repeatedly in person that much of Monty Python's humour was based on British politics, and that there once was such a political system. Early Anglo-Saxon communities were rather democratic, often appointing a honcho solely to command in wartime and booting him shortly thereafter. In pre-industrial societies, it would be quite common to find communes making collective decisions and informal positions of authority. Many people wouldn't even know the king's name; the young Chairman Mao didn't hear of the Emperor's death until two years after. Even as late as the early eighties, some Chinese peasants were still referring to Deng Xiaoping as "the best Emperor we've ever had." Aside from the precise term used as a title, he literally was.Although what is incorrect here is the use of Anarcho-Syndicalism as the name for the system used there. Communal decision making was often the norm in Europe, but Anarcho-Syndicalism is a separate ideology based around revolutionary industrial unionism that would be really anachronistic in a pre-industrial world.
