An Alternate Universe where everything is the same... but different. The Superman comics originated this, and it has been parodied by a number of shows. A bizarro world is distinct from a normal Alternate Universe in that a bizarro world has everything "reversed" in some way. Heroes are villains and vice versa; beauty is hated and ugliness embraced. A good/evil flip is the usual trope, common enough to be its own subtrope: Mirror Universe. Recent examples of bizarro universes have reduced the use of good and evil in favor of other reversals, such as who is the 'smart one' in a group of friends or who are the 'cool kids' at school. A bizarro universe need not be a literal "other universe"; sometimes it is simply another city/country/planet or a counterpart organisation that has strangely familiar elements, but with some sort of reversals present. Occasionally, a bizarro world will have inverted language (eg: "badbye" instead of "goodbye"). This is usually not done, however, since the rules are very hard to follow and are often changed. Compare Opposite Day, a similar idea on a much smaller scale. |

In Episode 132 of Tamagotchi, Lovelitchi and several of her friends find a secret village in the forest called Tamagotchi Village, where all of the inhabitants are the same as Tamagotchi Village but with their personalities reversed (for example, the normal version of the main character Mametchi is a smart Gadgeteer Genius, whereas his Tamagotchi Village counterpart, Mamesaku, is a nerd who doesn't invent anything). | |

Beating The World Ends with You unlocks Another Day, a side-story set in an alternate universe Shibuya where the Tin Pin minigame is Serious Business and everybody's personalities are changed. Most notable is Emo Teen Neku suddenly becoming chipper and positive while trying to fight off his "emo urges," and Joshua becoming (even more) Ambiguously Gay and transparently flirting with Neku. | |

Sluggy Freelance appeared to have one of these when the Dimension of Lame first appeared, where Riff, Zoe, and Bun-Bun were all incredibly nice and polite to Torg, while the normally sweet Kiki was rude and vicious. It was later revealed that the Dimension of Lame was actually populated entirely by absurdly kind and innocent versions of people from the main universe. The only reason the Kiki there was so evil was because she originally came from a dimension populated only by extremely Jerkass versions of main universe characters. | |

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse is something of a Deconstruction of this trope. Essentially, it starts by reversing two fundamental elements of MLP canon. In the first place, it is Celestia who fell into madness, not Luna. In the second, six canonical background ponies become friends and find the Elements of Harmony (Trixe Lulamoon as Element of Magic, Lyra Heartstrings as Element of Loyalty, Ditzy Doo as Element of Kindness, Raindrops as Element of Honesty, Carrot Top as Element of Generosity, and Cherilee as Element of Laughter). The Deconstruction lies in the next step, which is the extensive analysis of all the other things that are changed (not just reversed, but changed in all sorts of ways) either as a result of or in order to cause the two primary changes, as well as the consideration of what things don't change. | |

Orko's home world in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) was like this. Because everything, including the laws of magic were screwed up, Prince Adam had to say "Grayskull of power the by!" in order to transform into He Man. Which is why Orko's magic is messed up on Eternia. It's the magical equivalent of Engrish. |

A segment from House of Mouse featured Mickey and Minnie Mouse ending up in Topsy-Turvy Town, where everything was backwards. People wear pants and shirts on the opposite side of their bodies, mice chase cats, and people that buy things keep the money. Mickey is arrested for cleaning someone's clothes while Minnie was for insisting on giving her money to a clothes merchant. It ends with them going to jail where everything is pleasant. | |

Moreover, the six Rainsverse Bearers are all ponies who, in the Celestiaverse, were villains (Lightning Dust as the Bearer of Laughter, Aria Blaze as the Bearer of Honesty, Suri Polomare as the Bearer of Loyalty, Starlight Glimmer as the Bearer of Generosity, Sonata Dusk as the Bearer of Kindness, and Adagio Dazzle as the Bearer of Magic). | |

Super Paper Mario has the twin cities of Flipside and Flopside which are opposite counterparts to each other. The two cities look mostly the same, except all of the buildings are reversed and look more run down, and the background music is more depressing. The residents of the two cities each look similar to their counterparts but have opposite personalities and differently colored skin, and residents of Flipside have square noses while residents of Flopside have triangular noses. Flipside has a white tower with seven doors leading to colorful worlds, while Flopside has an ominous black tower with a single large door that leads to the villain's fortress in the void. And there are a few other differences. Most of the people of the two cities are unaware that the other city exists although one pair of counterparts decide to switch places with each other when they are unhappy with their lives. | |

The Daily Show: John Oliver once referred to "Bizarro Hitler", who spent his time hugging Jews and got his ass handed to him by France. Also, his face was all moustache except above his lip. When Jon Stewart said he imagined Bizarro Hitler would be a black man with blond hair and a pencil beard, Oliver told him he was thinking of Dennis Rodman. In another episode, Stewart's Bizarro version is mentioned: the "ruggedly handsome, non-neurotic" Jon Leibowitz, who pretends to be independent, but actually is a "right-wing nutcase." And with the February, 2011 strike in Wisconsin, the Union strikers are apparently the Bizarro Tea Party. |

Teh Gladiators, in its third chapter, takes the protagonists into World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, albeit a completely different one from the third expansion pack to that notable game. Instead, a magical catastrophe has created an alternate universe in which everything is a complete role reversal of its standard characterization. Gnomes are nature lovers, Taurens are militaristic, Humans are cannibalistic savages, and Orcs are pacifists, to say nothing of the changes to the world and its NPCs. | |

Moonside in EarthBound (1994), where everything is black with neon outlines and people say things like "Hey! Parking meters! And you're walking around! Ha ha ha... that's so funny!" and "Mani Mani is always Mani Mani at Mani Mani with all Mani Mani Mani". Furthermore, "Yes" and "No" choices are switched (for, to name a few examples, when shopkeepers ask if you want to buy anything, or the innkeeper asks if you want to spend the night). | |

In My Name Is Earl, Mexico is apparently this. It's home to Mexican versions of Earl and Randy, who have a list of bad things that they're going to do to people, versus the American Earl and Randy and their list of good things. One of the things on Mexican Earl's list is kidnapping and tying up a woman and forcing her to smoke cigarettes, a direct reversal of something the American Earl did: kidnapping and tying up a woman to help her quit smoking. | |

Red Dwarf: In an episode, the boys visit an alternate universe with an alternate Red Dwarf, and meet female counterparts of Lister and Rimmer and even the computer Holly (it's a world with a female-dominated history). When the Cat runs off eagerly and lustfully to find his female counterpart: Red Dwarf also features the episode "Backwards", where the crew visits a version of Earth where everything is backwards, including time itself. The digestive process was, let's just say, rather interesting there. Perhaps the best example is in "Only the Good..." when Rimmer enters a mirror universe to find out the opposite of a chemical compound destroying the ship. Corridors and rooms are flipped horizontally, Kochanski is The Ditz, the Cat is The Professor (which is also his name) and Rimmer is the Captain with Captain Hollister as second technician. Deleted scenes extend this further, with Lister acting as Rimmer's loyal, posh-speaking second in command. |

An episode of Archie's Weird Mysteries had the villain of a story arc go back in time and tamper with the past, with only Archie being unaffected. As the changes build up, they start to reshape Riverdale into one of these. Big Ethel is now Dilton's Abhorrent Admirer instead of Jughead's, Jughead himself is a health food nut instead of a junk food enthusiast, Betty and Veronica's roles are reversed, portly balding Principal Wetherby is now a trim, full-maned coach, no-nonsense teacher Miss Grundy is now the glamorous owner of a successful disco, and to top it all off, a local library is now a Starbucks while reading in public is an arrest-able offence. | |

In Shortpacked!, McAwesome's Parasailing and Chocolate Bakery (the place Ethan nearly went to work) is the Bizarro version of Shortpacked. As well as Ethan's counterpart Evan (who's dating That Guy) there's a Benevolent Boss (Bizarro Galasso), a fairly sensible ex-SEMME agent (Bizarro Robin), an employee who's obsessed with pirates (Bizarro Ninja Rick) and Franklin Roosevelt (Bizarro Reagan). There are also versions of Amber (Rose) and Faz (Zaph). And now that things finally seem to be going right for Ethan, Evan's in a coma. Note that there isn't a Mike counterpart...because Mike himself moonlights there, albeit in his nice, drunk persona. |

In Supergirl storyline Bizarrogirl, Supergirl meets her own Bizarro version, Bizarro-Girl (who insists on being the original deal and calling Supergirl "Bizarro-Me"). Bizarro-Girl keeps a very weird moral code for human standards and her powers are opposite to Supergirl's: she has fire breath, freezing vision and petrifying vision (which is unique to her). Both girls fight to save Bizarro World, which in this story is a cubic planet. Bizarro's "Fortress of Togertheness'' is located in the "Anti-Antartic" — a volcanic area. Bizarro Jimmy wants to "draw" pictures of destroyed cities, and their greatest champion is a coward and a liar. | |

This is the basic premise of the The Legend of Zelda fanfic Zelda and the Manacle of Cahla. Zelda is the hero of humble origins saving the world, Link is the prince and heir to the throne, Ganondorf is the royal family's advisor, and Hyrule is a Steampunk-y Magitek empire instead of a medieval kingdom. However, it is revealed everything is a lot more complicated: This universe was created by Ganondorf mucking with time travel, and Zelda is Link's long lost big sister and therefore still a princess. | |

Seinfeld episode "The Bizarro Jerry" (1996) posits Elaine as the focal point between two universes: Jerry, George, and Kramer being their juvenile, petty, and doofy (respectively) selves are contrasted with Kevin, Gene, and Feldman who are mature, considerate, and clever. The episode goes to great lengths to provide all the show's constants with bizarro versions. Some stuff The Other Wiki misses: Kevin's apartment is a mirror image of Jerry's, built from the same set. The paint scheme is reversed as well, as are the camera angles. It also has a statue of Bizarro, similar to Jerry's of Superman. At the Bizarro Coffee Shop (i.e. Reggie's), the Bizarro Gang sits in a booth by the window, which the normal gang does but rarely (and often to their consternation). The booth is also filmed from the opposite side (i.e. facing the wall/window, whereas the Monk's booth is filmed facing the restaurant interior). Gene, in addition to his polite Bizarro George personality, is always over-dressed. A sharp contrast to his rival, who would "drape [himself] in velvet [jumpsuits] if it were socially acceptable" (and in fact, eventually does). He's also scrupulously moral to the point where his reaction to finding a payphone that has free long-distance is to call the phone company to report the problem. Feldman apparently has several ideas for inventions that are both new and useful, but dismisses them as "not practical", whereas Kramer's ideas fall into two categories: bad ideas, and good ideas he claims were stolen from him. Feldman always knocks on the door to Kevin's apartment and does not enter until Kevin opens the door and invites him in, contrasting Kramer randomly barging into Jerry's aprtment whenever he feels like. He also buys Kevin groceries, while Kramer constantly mooches Jerry's food. They also play the Seinfeld theme backwards near the end. Let us not forget Vargas, the Bizarro Newman. He's a FedEx delivery man who is good friends with Kevin, unlike Newman who is a mailman and utterly loathes Jerry (who loathes him right back). The last scene has the three hugging each other and Kevin saying, "Me so happy. Me want to cry," Just as Bizarro in the comics would say. |

We Can't Rewind has one of these on the other side of The Bermuda Triangle. It's a lot like our universe, except that time flows backward there, such that Earth there turns on its axis and orbits the sun in the opposite directions from here. (So do all the other planets, presumably, though the book doesn't actually say so.) Its inhabitants, all refugees from our world, have accordingly taken to counting time down rather than up to synchronize their timeline with ours. | |

The Simpsons has an issue where a malfunctioning invention of Professor Frink's turns the Simpson-verse bizarro — Sideshow Bob is principal of Springfield Elementary, with Milhouse as the top prankster, Bart as the nervous side character, and Lisa, bored with school and unhappy with her good grades. Krusty is an ex-clown sidekick in jail for framing his boss, Mr. Burns is not a rich businessman (With Smithers as his dog), Homer is a single dad raising Bart and Maggie who works for Comic Book Guy's mafia, Marge is a single mom who acts as Springfield's mayor, and most shocking over all, Homer and Marge never met! In fact, the only unchanged person is Moe the Bartender, still running his tavern — though he now has a glass eye. In trying to get back home, Frink ends up causing a series of events that makes the bizarroverse more like the real one. | |

One episode of Captain N: The Game Master had the heroes travel through a mirror to a place where all the heroes were villains. We never see the mirror universe counterparts of the villains, though other things are backwards. For example: a woman doing laundry takes her clean clothes and throws them into a mud puddle to make them dirty. | |

Kaeloo: The episode "Let's Play Astronauts" had the main four go to an alternate universe through a black hole in space. There, Kaeloo's transformation works in reverse, Quack Quack and Mr. Cat (known as Meow Meow and Mr. Duck) had each other's personalities and traits, and Stumpy was a genius who loved physics and hated comic books. It turns out Stumpy dreamed this all up. | |

RuneScape used to have random events where the player would get kidnapped to an alternate reality called ScapeRune, which have now been retired from the game. Only two locations in it have been seen. One is a prison, which is the counterpart of Falador's party room, where the player has to pop living balloon animals in order to find the key to escape. The other is Evil Bob's Island, where humans are enslaved to an evil cat and have to catch cooked fish and uncook them for the cat to eat. Evil Bob's Island can still be visited through the Fairy Ring system. | |

It also replaces the Love Garden with the 'Potato Garden', exchanges the lava in the mob trap/grinder with water, gives the wolf pack different names, and is complete with Helpers of different names — Gillian Capybara, Peggy Reindeer and Dizzy Narwhal. | |

In the Power Rangers Ninja Storm episode "The Wild Wipeout", after failing to surf a wave, Tori winds up in an alternate Blue Bay Harbor, where Lothor is the good-natured mayor, his underlings are model citizens, Marah and Kapri are hippies, and the Rangers are super-powered juvenile delinquents. Even their hobbies are reversed: when they are arrested near the end of the episode, Bizarro Dustin expresses his desire to go skating, which Bizarro Shane dismisses as lame, preferring to ride motorbikes instead. | |

Beyond the Outer Gate Lies...: Harry refers to the Highschool DXD universe as this, and it fits the profile. In The Dresden Files, devils and angels (both regular and Fallen) are pillars of creation, have nigh-infinite power, can only be created by god, and are almost as hard to kill. Magic functions on willpower and emotion. And the wizard never gets the girls. In Highschool Dx D, most devils aren't much stronger than humans, they can reproduce normally or turn humans into devils, and can be killed almost as easily. And magic is performed with complex math. | |

Superman & Lois features Bizarro Earth in season 2. It starts with the arrival of Bizarro to our Earth. He speaks backwards, is weakened by the yellow sun and X-kryptonite and is enhanced by green kryptonite (it's later revealed he's been abusing it to get stronger). When Superman finally travels to his world, he finds out that the Sun is red and cube-shaped. Earth is also cube-shaped. Bizarro is a celebrity, he has a very close relationship with Tal-Rho, who is married to a super-powered Lana. Jonathan has powers instead of Jordan. Subverted with Bizarro's pale and jerky appearance, which is heavily implied to be due to kryptonite abuse coupled with stress and anger. | |

A Futurama episode, "The Farnsworth Parabox", features a Bizarro univere where the cast's counterparts have identical personalities but most have a different color scheme. There is a difference, the results of coin flips are opposite of the other universe which create new scenarios if the coin flip leads to an important event. Bizarro Fry and Leela got married, while the Professor has a scar from removing his own brain. In fact, it was implied that coin-tosses were the only differences between the universes. Which doesn't explain how the sky was a different color... The characters (of both worlds!) originally assume that the other world is a Mirror Universe and begin fighting (hilariously). |

Orion's Arm has Bizarro World, which is explicitly based on the originator for this trope. It's an artificial planetoid made entirely out of antimatter that serves as a tourist destination for people to act like superheroes or evil versions of superheroes. The local animals and plants are also artificial, and have been designed with complementary colours and unusual shapes to add to the theme. Because of the antimatter composition, tourists need to switch to antimatter bodies for the duration of their visit (they used to be able to visit in their original bodies by wearing special suits, but this was mostly forbidden after a serious matter-antimatter explosion). | |

In Magic: The Gathering, Shadowmoor is effectively a Bizarro Universe of the previous block's setting, Lorwyn. A magical incident known as "the Aurora" causes the bright and light-hearted world of Lorwyn to become the dark and sinister Shadowmoor. The personalities of its inhabitants are likewise warped: the clannish kithkin are now xenophobic and paranoid, the mischievous and energetic boggarts are now warlike berserkers, the noble giants are now barbaric simpletons, the mercantile merfolk are now hoarders and thieves, the treefolk still defend the woodlands but now do so with greater savagery, and the proud and domineering elves are now beleaguered preservers of beauty in a dark and ugly world (they're only slightly less smug, though). Except for faeries, they're pricks in both worlds thanks to the power of Oona, their queen, protecting them from the Aurora. | |

VG Cats features a strip in which Aeris and Leo envision a world in which Brawl has all you "favorite character and no...ice climbers". Cue cut to VG Dogs, the bizarro equivalent of VG Cats in which the Leo analog is the smart one and the Aeris analog is the stupid one. In this world, Sega appears to have won out in the console wars over Nintendo, and the Brawl equivalent, Sonic Heroes, has included Mario as a fanservice. Bizzaro Aeris mentions liking a game called "Yoshi the Dinosaur", an apparent analog to Shadow the Hedgehog. Then the crew from Sliders randomly shows up. The strip is appropriately titled "Bizzaro!". ... and there was a sequel to Daikatana! |

Fairy Tail has the Edolas arc, and it's apparent the mangaka likes this trope. Among other things, Natsu is an Extreme Doormat, Lucy is a Delinquent Tsundere, Gray wears multiple layers of clothing and fawns over Juvia, and Erza is a villain. It's also revealed that Mystogan is actually that universe's counterpart to Jellal, who came over to the regular universe to stop his world from harvesting magic power that doesn't belong to it. It's interesting to note that Mira is basically the same kind and sweet person in both universes, except that regular Mira used to be kind of a jerk, and went through a serious personality shift after the death of her younger sister which didn't happen to Edolas Mira except it did, and the regular universe version of her sister appeared in Edolas in her place. Later in a filler, we see the regular universe versions of some of thus far-Edolas-only characters. Notably, Coco is alot meaner in Earth-land (but still shown to care deep down), Byro is a good 30ish years younger, and Hughes is female. |

Betty Boop and Bimbo once visited the titular "Crazy Town" where everyone does everything backwards; fish fly while birds swim, banana peels are eaten, cutting your hair with scissors causes it to grow back, etc. | |

Termina is this to Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. While Hyrule is the home of the Triforce and watched over by 3 goddesses, Termina is watched over by 4 male giants. And more fittingly, many of the inhabitants are the counterparts of characters from Ocarina of Time, but with radically different names, occupations and/or personalities. The stuck-up zora princess is the singer in a rock band, the same farm girl at two different ages is now a pair of sisters, etc. | |

The old Doctor Who episode Inferno saw the Doctor accidentally transported to an alternate universe where Britain had become a fascist, militant country. While he's able to redeem a few of the alternate characters, he's unable to save them and winds up traumatized as he's forced to watch them being killed by the volcanic eruption that was set off by their experiment before he escapes. Expendable Alternate Universe is very much not at play: his failure to stop its destruction haunts him for some time after this. | |

In one episode of Codename: Kids Next Door, the KND discovered a world where kids were slaves to adults, and the villainous organization DNK helped to keep them in place. Not only were all the inhabitants the opposite of their regular world counterparts, but all names and acronyms were backwards (Lizzie became Eizzil, etc.). | |

In The Sandman (1989) volume A Game of You, the character Wanda was supposed to be a (DC Comics) Bizarro fan (significant since she is a trans woman and had to deal with feeling very out of place growing up in the Bible Belt). However, Gaiman wasn't allowed to use the Bizarro namenote it is left unstated whether the problem was with making DC Bizarro comics a part of the Sandman universe or if it was with a trans character liking the comics, and instead had to invent an ersatz "Weirdzo" comic series for Wanda to like. This sadly interferes somewhat with her characterization as readers would have been more able to connect and sympathize with a Bizarro-reading Wanda. | |

YTMND has a bizarro universe called "Punch The Keys For God's Sake", where every meme is slightly changed note For example, "O RLY?" becomes "R U SHUR?". Things get even more bizarre in other universes such as "YES YES", "Heh", "You Have the Manners of a Goat" and "Typing noises". | |

The Hercules: The Legendary Journeys episode "Stranger in a Strange World" introduces Other World when Iolaus accidentally trades places with his double. Here, Hercules is a brutal tyrant known as the Sovereign, Iolaus is his cowardly jester, Xena is a conniving schemer, Gabrielle is an infamous executioner, Ares is the god of love, Aphrodite is the prim and proper queen of the gods, and Joxer is a quick-witted rebel leader. And mentioned but not seen is god of war Cupid. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wishverse is not a Bizarro world, despite Cordelia's remark "I wish[ed] us into Bizarro Land" and a musical track being named "Bizarro Sunnydale", but a variation of It's a Wonderful Plot (Cordy wished somebody else had never come to Sunnydale). In Angel, in Cordelia's final episode after a long absence, she returns, and upon finding that Angel is working with their main enemies and an old villain has switched sides, asks "What Bizarro world did I wake up in?", referencing both the Wishverse and the trope itself. |

GURPS Alternate Earths has Bizarro Earth, where doing things backwards started as a harmless fashion in the early 19th century that quickly grew out of control. On this Earth, Kennedy was deposed for shooting at a book depository worker named Lee Harvey Oswald from his presidential car. | |

Hey Arnold!, "Arnold Visits Arnie", Arnold notices that the country kids look alot like his friends but with opposite personalities. For example, Stumpy is the smart kid and Fifi is the idiot, as opposed to Stinky being the idiot and Phoebe being the smart kid. The cherry on top is that he comes across Hilda, who's pretty much a friendly, non-Tsundere version of Helga!. The episode itself is the opposite of an earlier episode, "Weird Cousin". | |

Parodied in an episode of Family Guy, a hole in the wall of Stewie's room leads to "Bizarro Family Guy". The only apparent differences are that Bizarro Peter reads and that Bizarro Stewie, his room and all his possessions are constantly on fire without being harmed. | |

Praetorian Earth in City of Heroes started out as a Mirror Universe, but in the Going Rogue expansion, the story characters were Retconned slightly: rather than "all the good guys are evil," it's more along the lines of "All the nice guys are ruthless". Where Statesman is the selfless hero of the world (but mostly America), Emperor Cole is the man who "grudgingly ascended to the throne" and quickly turned Praetoria — the last standing metropolis in the world — into a very pretty but VERY sternly run dictatorship. He also killed his best friend before they drank from the Well of the Furies, so Lord Recluse just doesn't have an alternate any more. The rest of the world is pretty damn inhospitable, what with a series of minor nuclear wars making the Devouring Earth rise up to destroy humanity, only getting pushed back by MORE nukes which, of course, made them angrier... It's not as nice a place as the shiny capital city seems. | |

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, similar to the Kalos Mirror Universe episode, a two-parter concerns a reality where Ash is a meek Shrinking Violet while his friends are the Hot-Blooded ones, and the Team Rocket Trio is competent. The key difference here is while in the Mirror Universe the Team Rocket Trio were competent good guys, here they're even more competent bad guys to the point that they threaten the entire multiverse and force both sets of kids to Save Both Worlds. | |

Stop Skeletons From Fighting: He originally presented himself as the exact inverse of The Angry Video Game Nerd; not only does he review retro games positively, but he drinks red wine instead of beer (at one point getting confused when someone replaced his wineglass with a beer bottle). In his reenactment of the Bugs Bunny AVGN episode with Nightshade, at the point in the dialogue where AVGN punched Bugs, instead Nightshade punches HVGN. They are also mirror images of each other in Real Life professional choices, with James Rolfe being a filmmaker and Derek being a musician. |
