Historical In-Joke	comment	Happens when a show references a historical event and provides additional information about the event, relating it to the show. This either changes the meaning of the event or shows what really caused it, as opposed to what everyone thinks really happened. Donald P. Bellisario, the producer/creator of Quantum Leap, called these "kisses with history." Given the painful lack of research that most writers perform before writing, it should come as no surprise that many Historical In-Jokes are painfully inaccurate anachronisms. Or they may be taken for being fiction by the audience. The most common variation is that the characters are responsible for some famous bit of damage: Venus de Milo's arms, The Sphinx's nose, etc. Usually, these are shown to occur when the artifacts are new, even if the real damage occurred much later. Naturally will involve a Historical Domain Character or two. When this occurs in an Alternate History setting it's a case of Allohistorical Allusion. Compare It Will Never Catch On, This Is Going to Be Huge. Been There, Shaped History (when a character does a lot of these) and Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act (which frequently inverts this). If the protagonists blunder into a famous event instead of interfering deliberately, this can also be evidence that In the Past, Everyone Will Be Famous. For jokes which now need to be explained to be found funny, see Unintentional Period Piece. Naturally, this is a form of In-Joke. Subtropes include: Alternate Landmark History Been There, Shaped History Beethoven Was an Alien Spy Externally Validated Prophecy E.T.

The name AtalantÃ« (actual Quenya for "The Downfallen") is far from the first linguistic pun in Tolkien's work.

Star Trek Canon states that humanity met the Vulcans in the late 21st century after Cochrane's warp flight. Apparently, a little-known fact is that a Vulcan survey ship crashed in Pennsylvania in the '50s. A Vulcan woman raises money for a boy to go to college by introducing the bank owner to a strangely adhesive fabric, better known as Velcro, invented in the real world by "George" de Mestral. (The name of one of the Vulcans? Mestral.) This is also something of a Shout-Out since Star Trek: The Original Series used Velcro because it seemed sufficiently futuristic at the time.

This is, of course, standard for Paul Bunyan stories.

Historical In-Joke / int_2b70efd4	comment	The Old World of Darkness had a number of these; for example, the Malkavian clan claim to have done a bit of grave-robbery in Judea in the first century AD. If you're wondering, think The Joker as a vampire, and then make them thousands strong (though, as might be imagined, rarely united). Another, borderline example is Dark Ages: Werewolf, which linked the fairy tale of Red Riding Hood to a young werewolf's First Change — Red is the werewolf, and in the throes of her First Change, kills her grandmother and is found (and implied to be killed, or at least grievously wounded) by a lumberjack who finds her grieving. In fact, in the old World of Darkness, the one thing the supernaturals never had an active hand in was the Third Reich and the Holocaust. This itself proved to be a pretty funny, if unintentional, historical joke in the context of the game. The intent was to avoid cheapening the full inhumanity of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany by ascribing it to supernatural influence; the effect was to make readers scratch their heads wondering how, in a game overflowing with Beethoven Was an Alien Spy, none of the countless supernatural groups had anything to do with the largest war and most notorious genocide in history. Something of a running gag was that about half the Vampire clans and several other supernatural beings claimed Rasputin as a member.

The main characters are singlehandedly responsible for such things as The Boston Tea Party, the Battle at the Alamo, and the invention of peanut butter. Another episode had Betsy Ross and the rest of Washington's army become hippies only to regain their fighting spirit by coffee. One of the hippies likes the coffee so much that he vows to "spread it throughout this great land." His name as a hippie? Starbuck. After a whole episode dealing with putting Abraham Lincoln's presidency back on track, the time travelers return to the future just as Abraham suggests to his wife that he feels like visiting Ford's Theater...

As part of a plot necessity, they travel to New York City in 1999 and get a brilliant idea to stash the trouble-making object in a storage locker under the World Trade Center towers. As they leave the scene, Jake looks up at the towers, and wonders idly whether the object might be destroyed if say, the towers just happened to crumble on top of it somehow. It's further intimated that due to its evil nature, the presence of Black Thirteen may have caused the WTC attacks.

Historical In-Joke / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad! had the main character shooting Ronald Reagan, because, well: In "The Best Christmas Story Never Told", he originally wanted to kill Jane Fonda because he blamed her for the war on Christmas, then he found out that she was really influenced by Donald Sutherland. Stan is prevented from killing Sutherland, but by chance runs into Martin Scorsese. He convinces Scorsese to give up drugs, which in turn causes him to lose his edge. As a result, Taxi Driver is never made, so there's no star vehicle for Jodie Foster, and no one for John Hinckley to become obsessed with. As a result of that, Ronald Reagan is never shot, which means there was no incident to bolster public support; so Mondale won, and practically "handed over the country to the Commies." Thus, Stan Smith shoots Reagan. Also, in the same episode, Roger "invents" the genre of disco, based on a 'greatest hits of the 70's' tape Stan drops. Whew. In "The Phantom of the Telethon", Roger is enraged that Stan stole his idea for a telethon, as he had similarly been robbed of a telethon idea by Jerry Lewis. Another episode dealt with the creation of peanut butter in the style of The Da Vinci Code. It claims that the government started the myth that George Washington Carver invented it in order to ease relations after the civil war and that the real inventor was Mary Todd Lincoln, among other things.

After Strange and Byron become friends and Strange goes a bit off the dramatically inclined deep end, Byron starts taking notes.

When the Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show, the reason why everyone in the audience was screaming was because of a monster scaring them, not because of hysteria over The Beatles' music. A monster inspired Franklin D. Roosevelt to include "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" in his inaugural address. A monster was also the reason Christopher Columbus discovered America. An old monster the trio had to escort home told stories of himself of scaring George Washington (which motivates him in crossing the Delaware River) and Albert Einstein (which is why his hair is what he's known for).

The narration goes out of its way to emphasize how insignificant this village is and how no traveller ever has a reason to go there. At the end of the story, after the team disbands, the base is claimed by the government and turned into a military airfield. The village is Heathrow, and the airfield is the one that in real life evolved into London Heathrow Airport, England's premier international airport and one of the busiest travel hubs in the world. In "Cold Snap", the 1971 bomb explosion at the London GPO Tower, which in real life was claimed by at least two different terrorist groups and never definitively pinned on anybody, was actually part of a battle between the vigilante Dr. Shade and a criminal gang who planned to hijack the Tower and turn it into a transmitter of mind-control rays.

Historical In-Joke / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: The Star Trek: The Original Series "Wolf in the Fold" revealed the secret truth behind Jack the Ripper: He was Redjac, a Puppeteer Parasite which has been a serial killer on several planets, including Earth. The two-part episode Time's Arrow in Star Trek: The Next Generation has Data accidentally sent back to 1893 San Francisco where he meets the author Mark Twain and a young bellhop named Jack London, who has an inexplicable desire to visit Alaska. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations", they actually did this to a bit of Star Trek's own history — in something much more than a simple Continuity Nod, the episode revealed that there was much more going on in the background of the original series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" than was initially seen by viewers in the 1960s. Also, the scene of Tribbles continuing to fall down on Kirk's head, one every ten seconds or so, long after the storage compartment had been opened and most of the tribbles had fallen out proves to be the DS9 team's tossing Tribbles aside once scanned. In the episode "Little Green Men", where the Roswell aliens turn out to be Ferengi. Star Trek: Voyager: In the episode "Flashback", Tuvok flashes back to his service aboard the Excelsior... during the time of Star Trek VI. He's even the one who gave Sulu the tea that we see knocked over at the beginning of the movie. Interestingly, since the original Trek actors had aged a good bit, many scenes that happened exactly as seen in Star Trek VI had to be redone (or else, Sulu ages ten years once original footage kicks in). Watch 'em back to back and you'll notice the tiniest differences, like the way Valtane's hand moves when he puts it on the railing, or Sulu saying "Shields! Shields!" a bit more loudly, or a few camera angles being different. Also, the Excelsior's warp engines only glow in original (i.e., "shot for the show") footage, as a new model's being used — although the nacelles of the movie model were wired to glow, they didn't. An incident occurred during the filming of the above episode that is either the greatest historical in-joke or the luckiest accident, of Star Trek history. During the flashback sequences, we see Dimitri Valtane die, despite his chronologically later appearance at the end of Star Trek VI. The writers jokingly suggested he had a twin brother serving on the same ship, but the general fanon response was that he had been successfully resuscitated off-screen. The former is now accepted as correct, however, because in the opening scenes of Star Trek VI, because of a poor editing job, Valtane is seen to be manning two separate consoles on opposite sides of the bridge. Only one of him appears at the end, so the twin theory is actually the best solution. In the two-parter "Future's End" the Digital Revolution only happens because of a crashed timeship. Star Trek: Enterprise pulled a cute one in the episode "Carbon Creek." Star Trek Canon states that humanity met the Vulcans in the late 21st century after Cochrane's warp flight. Apparently, a little-known fact is that a Vulcan survey ship crashed in Pennsylvania in the '50s. A Vulcan woman raises money for a boy to go to college by introducing the bank owner to a strangely adhesive fabric, better known as Velcro, invented in the real world by "George" de Mestral. (The name of one of the Vulcans? Mestral.) This is also something of a Shout-Out since Star Trek: The Original Series used Velcro because it seemed sufficiently futuristic at the time.

Historical In-Joke / int_892aa56a	comment	Murdoch Mysteries A season 3 episode has H. G. Wells in Toronto to speak at a meeting of the "Eugenics Society", a group dedicated to the improvement of humanity by scientific means. The event and the discovery that a local scientist is experimenting on animals give Wells an idea for a story about human experimentation, "...perhaps on a remote island." A different episode had Arthur Conan Doyle visiting the police station, where he finds Inspector Brackenreid is a great fan of his work. All through the episode, Brackenreid keeps trying to pitch him an idea for a new Sherlock Holmes story about "the hellhound of the Highlands." Doyle returns in a later episode when they call him in to try and break through the delusion of a man who believes himself to be Sherlock. Doyle tries pointing out that Holmes died at Reichenbach Falls, and is taken aback when "Holmes" has a perfectly coherent explanation for both how he survived and where he's been since - the same one Doyle uses in "The Adventure of the Empty House." The episode also features a real criminal, who "Holmes" believes to be one of Moriarty's henchmen, called Sebastian Moran. Doyle mentions he likes the name. The episode "All That Glitters" has two: in the main story, Murdoch's investigation of the murder of an Ontario surveyor leads to the Cobalt Silver Rush. In the B-plot, the painting Inspector Brackenreid did during his 10-Minute Retirement at the beginning of the season has been entered into a competition, and a young man is very impressed by it. The man, who particularly likes the way Brackenreid paints foliage with non-representative colours to make it stand out more (he ran out of green), eventually buys the painting for $15 to inspire his own work, at which point we learn his name is Tom Thomson. In a Running Gag through the series, Murdoch is shown to invent devices not yet known, or to invent a precursor. George Crabtree comes up with a name matching what we call it, only for one of the characters to shoot down the name and call it something else.

There are more Historical In Jokes like this in the series since one of the plot points is that the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) are not supposed to have any more half-mortal children, because the powers of their children keep leading to history being screwed up.

Historical In-Joke / int_8b55fd36	comment	There are several examples in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: It plays the Cuban missile crisis too, in an alternate history: to achieve the best results, the Chronosphere had to be built in a specific place in the Earth's magnetosphere or the Allies can't use it to invade Moscow from across the globe. Problem is, said place is in the Florida Keys, well inside the range of the Soviet nukes in Cuba. Since the US and the USSR are already at war and Romanov won't negotiate as Khrushchev did in real life, the Allies say "screw negotiations" and instead chronoshift some troops into Cuba to blow the missiles sky-high before they could be launched. Cue the Villainous Breakdown from Romanov. And the invasion of Pearl Harbor too, this time with Soviets as aggressors and the US anticipating the attack via U-2 spy planes. The USS Arizona Memorial is even present, even though the Japanese attack that sunk the Arizona never took place in this timeline. It can be played from both sides, interestingly, though the Soviet version has a South Korean fleet moving in to assist the defenders. In the briefing for one of the Soviet missions the player is shown a picture◊ of Stalin, with Yuri edited in on his right. This picture really exists◊ and is famous for being doctored, the real-life version showing Stalin sat next to Lenin, who bears a fairly strong resemblance to Yuri. This version of the picture, created at the behest of Stalin, is a forgery to try and give him more credibility as one of Lenin's closest collaborators. Since the creators of Red Alert 2 also edited Yuri into the picture in Lenin's place, neither of the two persons shown on the photograph actually appeared in it. The iconic acknowledgment "We will bury them!" from the Soviet tanks paraphrases a famous (and misinterpreted) quote by Nikita Khrushchev. note Originally, it was referred right to the enemy: "We will bury you!" In the final Soviet video, the Soviets have taken over the entire world. One of the locations shown celebrating the foundation of the Global Soviet Union is of Soviet tanks driving down the streets of Paris in a victory parade. The newscaster comments that "it has been decades since we've seen anything quite like this", referring to the German occupation of Paris in World War II, which in the altered timeline never even took place. Then came Yuri's Revenge, taking this trope to the logical extreme by making an in-joke on its own history: one Soviet mission had the player re-doing - via time travel - one of the vanilla game's Allied missions... from the other side. Bonus points because said mission enabled the Allies to win the war with the aforementioned re-take of the Cuban missile crisis... which this re-take mission, appropriately named "Operation Deja Vu", retcons into the Chronosphere prototype being destroyed and the Allies surrendering. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: It also has a defense of Pearl Harbor — by the Empire of the Rising Sun, against an Allied naval fleet. As a call back, the penultimate Allied mission is a take on the Cuban missile crisis, with another historical in-joke: the blimps carrying the missiles launch out of hangars disguised as sports stadiums. In real life, one of the things that tipped the US off to the Soviet presence was the building of soccer fields (Russians play soccer; Cubans, at that point, preferred baseball). Another joke in its in-universe history: in the first Allied mission of the second game, several Soviet Dreadnoughts are bombarding the Statue of Liberty until Tanya destroys them with explosive charges. A similar scene appears in the opening cutscene of Soviet Mission 9 in the third.

During the course of the show, they witness, cause or partake in pretty much every single important event during the end of the Roman republic. Caesar finally lampshades this in a later episode. One good example is the second episode, where the attack on Marc Antony by Pompey's men when he's heading for the Senate is actually an attack on Pullo by a random thug Pullo gambled and argued with (and killed his friend). This attack on Antony is believed to be Pompeius's thugs trying to prevent Antony from wielding his lawful power of veto, and becoming the key incident that led to Caesar crossing the Rubicon. The episode is even titled "How Titus Pullo Brought Down The Republic." Pullo is the real father of Caesarion, the historical son of Caesar and Cleopatra. Vorenus believing himself responsible for Caesar's death, as he was to accompany Caesar the day of his assassination, but was stopped by a woman who told him that his daughter's child was actually his wife's child by another man, causing him to leave and confront Niobe, while Caesar goes and gets killed on his own. Pullo uncovering the stash of gold and silver from the treasury looted by the Optimates, stealing it all for himself before handing it back over to Caesar when he's caught. Historically, it's said that none of Pompey's supporters, nor Pompey himself, managed to empty out the treasury, allowing Caesar to claim it for his war effort, seriously hampering the optimates' finances for the civil war, causing them to heavily tax the provinces of the east, drawing heavy resentment from them.

In the film, the Virginia Company is portrayed giving Captain Jones secret orders to take the Pilgrims to New England, as a kind of backdoor to setting up a colony there. Dorothy Bradford really did die after falling overboard, but this was probably an accident. In the film, it's implied to be suicide, the result of a fictional affair she had been sorta having with Captain Jones. This scenario was not invented by the film itself, by the way, but by a Harper's Weekly story from 1869.

Going back even further, he personally helped build the pyramids (No, he did not design them, he helped carry bricks) and then cut Catherine the Great's hair several centuries later. Broccoli tastes bad to humans because it was brought to Earth by alien colonizers during the time of the dinosaurs. These aliens were then wiped out by the impact that killed off the dinosaurs, which was brought down by refugees of another race that had lost a war to the first mentioned race. A handful of survivors from one of those alien races apparently evolved into ants. Elfangor (an alien in human form) was once friends with two guys named Bill and Steve, to whom he explained computers. They were unable to grasp the more complex concepts, so he had to simplify matters and explain it to Bill with the term "Windows." Also, Mr. King was the one who suggested heat to Pasteur as a means to kill bacteria. Also, remember that painting of Washington crossing the Delaware? The kids go back in time and find out the river and the night were freezing. So not only did the kids see first-hand that Washington never posed like that, they directly state that if he posed like that in the middle of the night on the front of a boat crossing an ice-cold river, his soldiers would have thought he was a loon.

This virus was used by a group of greedy, nudist, and narcissistic alien scammers to make Bender go back in time and steal treasures, and as a result, he is seen with several artifacts that have gone missing, like the Sphinx's nose and the Holy Grail. His time-traveling also causes several in-show historical in-jokes as well. For example, one episode revolved around Fry finding his pet dog Seymour as a fossil in a museum and his attempts to resurrect it. In the movie, while the scammers are forcing Bender to assassinate Fry in 2012, the year Seymour died at a "healthy old age", one of Bender's futuristic weapons misses him and encases the poor dog in stone. This quickly goes from a joke to a happy when one recalls that Fry decided not to bring Seymour back because he thought he died of old age, but now we find out he died of old age after spending an entire life with Fry's time-clone. Time-travel is also how Zoidberg became the Roswell alien. One of the Brainspawn also killed the dinosaurs.

This created an Alternate Timeline where The French Revolution was a peaceful affair, with the Queen being deported instead of beheaded, and her son becoming a constitutional monarch. Jeff finds himself present on the streets of Paris during the original Bastille Day, and has to escape the crowd so that Norby can find him and take him back to Fargo and the others.

Right after '70s-Jorgen shows up to erase everyone's memories of the fairies being revealed, present-Jorgen shows up to take Timmy back to his own era and says that Timmy is forbidden from returning to March of 1972, but can still travel to any of the other months "so long as you don't interfere with the election of President McGovern." This implies that either The Fairly OddParents! takes place in an alternate continuity where Nixon was never re-elected, Timmy didn't listen and is somehow responsible for Nixon's re-election, or Timmy's interference already made McGovern the president without Jorgen realizing it.

When he meets Jimmy Carter, he flashes on the fact that Carter will become President. The book was published just a little too early, however, for him to have a similar reaction when he shakes the hand of Ronald Reagan. The book excuses missing any such future developments by saying that for many of the politicians, shaking hands has become so routine as to become meaningless, thus preventing Johnny from getting much of a read on them.

(You should see Hazel's reaction when she finds out the Romans were in the Confederate side). The last child of Hephaestus that could create fire before Leo was Thomas Faynor, who may or may not have started the Great Fire of London in 1666. Frank's ancestor was blamed for the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, though it turns out he didn't do it. Jack London was a son of Mercury whose Wolf House burned down because it was built on sacred ground. Amazon.com Inc. was apparently founded or taken over by actual Amazon warriors and used to ship goods to Amazons worldwide.

Esteban, Mendoza, Gomez and Gaspard are named after members of Magellan's crew (Luiz de Mendoza, Estevao Gomez, GonÃ§alo Gomez de Espinosa and Gaspar Quesada respectively). One of the characters was supposed to be Malinche, but Japanese Ranguage combined with the translators not recognizing the name caused her to be called "Marinche." She's properly named in French. In the French version, the Heva are named "Mu", hailing from a sunken continent of the same name. Mu is a lost continent said to be something like Atlantis' counterpart in the Pacific ocean whose existence was said to be mentioned in Inca and Maya art by scholars in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Historical In-Joke / int_c43df4d8	comment	Naturally, Doctor Who, being a show centered around time travel, has plenty of these. Seriously, when you start watching a lot of Doctor Who, this trope starts to look like the summary of the show. The Doctor himself, for instance, wrote Hamlet down for William Shakespeare after the latter had sprained his wrist writing sonnets, and the Great Fire of London was started by a dying alien. The Fourth Doctor helped Isaac Newton discover gravity: At the end of "The Unquiet Dead", Charles Dickens has been so inspired by the events of the episode that he declares he'll incorporate the Gelth into the book he's working on, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. As the Doctor explains to Rose, Dickens will die before he manages to finish writing it. In "Father's Day", the whole of time itself begins screwing up due to interference with someone's death, causing such stuff as a phone ringing which when picked up treats the listener to "Watson, come quickly, I need you...", the first words ever spoken through a phone, by Alexander Graham Bell. "The Shakespeare Code": The Tenth Doctor accidentally suggests a good many of his most famous lines to the Bard, including "to be or not to be." The Doctor even gives him Dylan Thomas' "Rage, rage against the dying of the light", but tells Shakespeare that "it's been used." Also, Shakespeare wrote the sonnet beginning with "Shall I compare thee...?" to the Doctor's companion, who also happened to be the Dark Lady mentioned in some of his other poems. (Although that particular sonnet is not believed to be about the Dark Lady.) One of those poems (Sonnet 130, a satire of the flowery love sonnets prevalent in his era) has Shakespeare complaining of his Dark Lady's reeking breath. Turns out his own is nothing to boast about when Martha turns down an offer of romance from Shakespeare because his breath stinks. The Doctor mentions the Sycorax, the alien villains of "The Christmas Invasion", in front of Shakespeare, who likes the sound of the name and decides he'll have it off him as well. Scholars never have been able to figure out where Shakespeare came up with the name of a certain Posthumous Character from The Tempest... "The Fires of Pompeii": The Doctor and Donna were responsible for the eruption of Vesuvius. Earlier in the episode, we get both a historical in-joke and a Continuity Nod, as the Tenth Doctor very quickly tells Donna that "Before you ask, that fire had nothing to do with me. Well, a little bit..." referring to the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64, which in a very early episode was shown to have been inadvertently inspired by the First Doctor accidentally setting a map on fire with the light through his spectacles. "The Unicorn and the Wasp": Donna, being unaware of the exact point of Agatha Christie's career at the point where she meets her, tries to sell the author several of her own ideas, like Miss Marple or Murder on the Orient Express. That same episode also deals with Agatha Christie's infamous disappearance. According to Doctor Who, a giant alien wasp started killing people in the same way as in her books, due to being linked to her. So when the alien died, she in turn fell into a deep sleep and then turned up in the hotel that was historically tied to her disappearance. In "The End of Time", Ten informs Ood Sigma (who seems completely unimpressed, and probably has no idea what he's talking about anyway) that he married Queen Elizabeth I and that one of her nicknames is no longer accurate. We get to see the wedding later on, in "The Day of the Doctor." "Vincent and the Doctor": The Doctor and Amy visit van Gogh; Amy greets the artist with lots and lots of sunflowers. Very subtle. (The Doctor also reveals in the same episode that apparently Michelangelo Buonarroti had a fear of heights.) "Day of the Moon": The Eleventh Doctor gave Richard Nixon the idea of taping everything in his office... so he'd know if he had his mind wiped by aliens. The same episode also explains why there is a two-second gap between the words "That's one small step for man" and "One giant leap for mankind." The broadcast was briefly hijacked during this time, featuring an out-of-context clip of a member of The Silence, who tells the viewers to kill any of The Silence on sight. All future reuploads would carry this order, with the viewers unknowingly killing The Silence due to having their memories blanked after taking their eyes off one. "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" explains why Queen Nefertiti mysteriously vanished from Egyptian records fourteen years into her husband's reign: Thanks to the Doctor, she met British big-game hunter John Riddell, from 1902, and ran off with him. "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror": It turns out that Nikola Tesla really did pick up a signal from Mars. He detected the ship of a scavenger race called the Skithra, who decided to abduct him to force him to repair their ship after he sent a message back. Furthermore, the climax of the episode involves Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower being activated to shoot lightning. The tower really was activated the night of July 14, 1903 (the year the episode is set) and was seen to be shooting lightning, and Tesla never explained why.

The well-propagated vicious rumors that fluorocarbons dissolve the ozone layer are just Plausible Deniability. The great New York City blackout of 1977 was the result of a practical joke by an alien ambassador known as "the Great Attractor" when he released a Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball. He thought it was funny as hell. MIB also shows that many of the famous celebrities and historical figures are/were aliens. Late in the movie, Agent K outright states that Elvis Presley's mysterious death was really him just returning to his own world. There's also a screen showing numerous celebrities that are really aliens, like Sylvester Stallone, Danny DeVito, Michael Jackson, Oprah and Dennis Rodman (although that wasn't much of a disguise).

Historical In-Joke / int_c511c682	comment	Done a lot in the French comic Asterix. To name just a few examples: In Asterix Meets Cleopatra, Obelix is revealed to be responsible for The Sphinx's missing nose. In Asterix in Britain, Asterix introduces tea to the British and Obelix suggests introducing rugby to the folks back in Gaul (rugby is quite popular in several European countries, including both France and Great Britain). One of the Britons mentions that they've started digging a tunnel between Gaul and Britain, "but it looks like taking a jolly long time, what!" This pun was even funnier when the comic came out in 1966 because the tunnel had been planned for decades at that point but construction always was delayed in the last moment. Back then it seemed as if it would never occur at all. In Asterix in Spain, when Asterix and Obelix ask if Unhygienix the fishmonger will rent his fishing boat to them, he mentions in passing that he'll take his payment in menhirs (stone monoliths), as he's looking to develop some land he owns in Britain (which a footnote explains is on Salisbury Plain, i.e. the location of Stonehenge). The original French version of this same book used Carnac instead of Stonehenge, a French town in the southern coast of Brittany, home to another big megalithic site. Later in the book, Asterix accidentally invents bullfighting when he gets captured by the Romans and, instead of being thrown to the lions, is forced to fight a wild aurochs (a sort of now-extinct bull). Which might not sound very terrible, unless you know aurochs were twice the size of modern bovines. Kind of like having to fight a tank made of meat. A Running Gag in Asterix And The Chieftain's Shield is whenever someone mentions Alesia (the last stand of the Gauls) to a Gaul, said Gaul will respond (usually enraged) that "I don't know where Alesia is! No one knows where Alesia is!" This is a reference to archeologists' then current doubts about the city's location. Could also be a reference to the way people don't like to remember defeats and other shameful episodes, often to the point of denial (in fact after yet another enraged rant, a footnote claims said denial is the cause of the aforementioned doubts about Alesia's location). It is probably not irrelevant that the story is set in the part of France that includes the little spa town of Vichy. Also in that album, they visit the town that is now Clermont-Ferrand to see a former Roman Legionary who owns a wagon-wheel manufacturing firm (Clermont-Ferrand is home to the Michelin tyre company). In the city they see a big statue of Caesar standing at the exact spot where today stands a big statue of Vercingetorix, so French readers know who turned out to be the moral victor in the end! In Asterix in Corsica, the Corsican leader tells Caesar that Corsicans will never accept being part of an Empire unless it was ruled by one of their own. In The Big Fight, Asterix and Obelix visit the druid Psychoanalytix, who specialises in diseases of the mind. The nurse is telling them about the patients as they go along, with the last one standing in the classic Napoleon pose. The nurse says "No one knows who this man thinks he is." Caesar is oblivious to Brutus' treacherous nature through the series. One memorable scene has a furious Brutus draw his sword and Caesar telling him to sheath it before he hurts someone. In another scene, Caesar, enjoying the adulation of the crowds, orders Brutus to join in the applause with the words: "Et tu, Brute." In the animated film Asterix Versus Caesar, Obelix is distracted by Panacea and accidentally bumps into a pillar at the Rome Colosseum, causing a segment of it to collapse. Caesar's characterisation is based on the books about himself he wrote when he was alive, especially his Commentaries on the Gallic War. For instance, he is always a Third-Person Person when bragging about his accomplishments, as he wrote the books in the third person. Some of his more Bunny-Ears Lawyer traits in the comics are strongly implied by his own text.

Historical In-Joke / int_c8c98633	comment	Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: It plays the Cuban missile crisis too, in an alternate history: to achieve the best results, the Chronosphere had to be built in a specific place in the Earth's magnetosphere or the Allies can't use it to invade Moscow from across the globe. Problem is, said place is in the Florida Keys, well inside the range of the Soviet nukes in Cuba. Since the US and the USSR are already at war and Romanov won't negotiate as Khrushchev did in real life, the Allies say "screw negotiations" and instead chronoshift some troops into Cuba to blow the missiles sky-high before they could be launched. Cue the Villainous Breakdown from Romanov. And the invasion of Pearl Harbor too, this time with Soviets as aggressors and the US anticipating the attack via U-2 spy planes. The USS Arizona Memorial is even present, even though the Japanese attack that sunk the Arizona never took place in this timeline. It can be played from both sides, interestingly, though the Soviet version has a South Korean fleet moving in to assist the defenders. In the briefing for one of the Soviet missions the player is shown a picture◊ of Stalin, with Yuri edited in on his right. This picture really exists◊ and is famous for being doctored, the real-life version showing Stalin sat next to Lenin, who bears a fairly strong resemblance to Yuri. This version of the picture, created at the behest of Stalin, is a forgery to try and give him more credibility as one of Lenin's closest collaborators. Since the creators of Red Alert 2 also edited Yuri into the picture in Lenin's place, neither of the two persons shown on the photograph actually appeared in it. The iconic acknowledgment "We will bury them!" from the Soviet tanks paraphrases a famous (and misinterpreted) quote by Nikita Khrushchev. note Originally, it was referred right to the enemy: "We will bury you!" In the final Soviet video, the Soviets have taken over the entire world. One of the locations shown celebrating the foundation of the Global Soviet Union is of Soviet tanks driving down the streets of Paris in a victory parade. The newscaster comments that "it has been decades since we've seen anything quite like this", referring to the German occupation of Paris in World War II, which in the altered timeline never even took place. Then came Yuri's Revenge, taking this trope to the logical extreme by making an in-joke on its own history: one Soviet mission had the player re-doing - via time travel - one of the vanilla game's Allied missions... from the other side. Bonus points because said mission enabled the Allies to win the war with the aforementioned re-take of the Cuban missile crisis... which this re-take mission, appropriately named "Operation Deja Vu", retcons into the Chronosphere prototype being destroyed and the Allies surrendering.

As a call back, the penultimate Allied mission is a take on the Cuban missile crisis, with another historical in-joke: the blimps carrying the missiles launch out of hangars disguised as sports stadiums. In real life, one of the things that tipped the US off to the Soviet presence was the building of soccer fields (Russians play soccer; Cubans, at that point, preferred baseball). Another joke in its in-universe history: in the first Allied mission of the second game, several Soviet Dreadnoughts are bombarding the Statue of Liberty until Tanya destroys them with explosive charges. A similar scene appears in the opening cutscene of Soviet Mission 9 in the third.

Historical In-Joke / int_d4efb984	comment	Sophia Petrillo, an immigrant from Sicily and a woman in her 80s by the time of the show, in The Golden Girls made a lot of these. It's usually unclear if she's lying or joking, her memories have really been twisted by old age or both. Among other things, she's claimed to have had affairs with Pablo Picasso (she ended it when she was offended by his portrait of her) and Sigmund Freud (Sophia recalls that he loved to drive through tunnels), to have been friends and business partners with Mama Celeste until they fought over a man, to have been a contestant on a game show called Torture that was hosted by Mussolini, and to have been present at the Valentine's Day Massacre with her husband and father when their car broke down in Chicago (although she does concede that it might have just been a Valentine's Day Massacre.) Since the entire main cast is over 50, the others all engage in this to a lesser extent. For example, Andy Rooney wanted to have an affair with Blanche but she turned him down, and Rose's high school history teacher may or may not have been Adolf Hitler after he faked his death and was hiding under an alias. The main evidence for this is that Rose's high school gym teacher openly identified as Eva Braun.

At one point, Chaucer falls into the debt of and is humiliated by two men, who are identified as a pardoner and a summoner. He tells them "I will eviscerate you in fiction. Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked for a day; you will be naked for eternity." The Pardoner and the Summoner are the most disgusting characters in The Canterbury Tales. At the end of the movie, Chaucer comments that he wants to write everything down, implying that the plot served as inspiration for The Canterbury Tales. Finally, Word of God is that the movie was deliberately set up to take place during a period of time when Chaucer really did go missing in real life, suggesting that the events in the film were adventures he might have had during that time.

In Predator The Bloody Sands Of Time, the main character discovers that Predators were responsible for the fall of Fort Douamont to the Germans in February 1916, thus triggering the Battle of Verdun as the French attempted to recover the position.

Historical In-Joke / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: In the episode "Flashback", Tuvok flashes back to his service aboard the Excelsior... during the time of Star Trek VI. He's even the one who gave Sulu the tea that we see knocked over at the beginning of the movie. Interestingly, since the original Trek actors had aged a good bit, many scenes that happened exactly as seen in Star Trek VI had to be redone (or else, Sulu ages ten years once original footage kicks in). Watch 'em back to back and you'll notice the tiniest differences, like the way Valtane's hand moves when he puts it on the railing, or Sulu saying "Shields! Shields!" a bit more loudly, or a few camera angles being different. Also, the Excelsior's warp engines only glow in original (i.e., "shot for the show") footage, as a new model's being used — although the nacelles of the movie model were wired to glow, they didn't. An incident occurred during the filming of the above episode that is either the greatest historical in-joke or the luckiest accident, of Star Trek history. During the flashback sequences, we see Dimitri Valtane die, despite his chronologically later appearance at the end of Star Trek VI. The writers jokingly suggested he had a twin brother serving on the same ship, but the general fanon response was that he had been successfully resuscitated off-screen. The former is now accepted as correct, however, because in the opening scenes of Star Trek VI, because of a poor editing job, Valtane is seen to be manning two separate consoles on opposite sides of the bridge. Only one of him appears at the end, so the twin theory is actually the best solution. In the two-parter "Future's End" the Digital Revolution only happens because of a crashed timeship.

He also lampshades the trope in his first line, mocking a low-ranking vampire claiming to have been at the crucifixion of Jesus. Spike knows Dracula (Dracula owes him money) and is rather annoyed at the latter for writing a book about his exploits, thus making it so that most mortals know how to kill vampires. Angel had at least one of its own, with Angel saying he crashed Elvis and Priscilla's wedding.

Historical In-Joke / int_f3e1f424	comment	In Merlin, the court historian is none other than Geoffrey of Monmouth, the man who wrote Arthurian Legend. Of course, that's a bit of Artistic License (at best); the historical Geoffrey of Monmouth lived about 500 years after when King Arthur would have been alive (were he real-no one knows for sure). Given that the Kingdom of Camelot does not appear to even be on an island, that caveat is somewhat beside the point. No one is pretending these people are English or anywhere in actual history.

Historical In-Joke / int_f5c28dbb	comment	The entire 1632 series is full of these. One of the more brutally ironic ones comes in 1635: The Dreeson Incident. Don Francisco Nasi (a Jew) names the ruthless purge of all organized anti-Semitic and witch-hunting activity in the USE "Operation Kristallnacht." The Kremlin Games deals with an up-timer hired by the Russian royal family to help modernize the nation. Among other things, he insists on designating the newly designed rifles the AK series. * By a lucky coincidence the lead gunsmith involved in the design is named Andrei Korsonov. By the end of the book the most high-tech model available is a modified version of the fourth production series designated the AK 4.7

Historical In-Joke / int_f7d93e4a	comment	Assassin's Creed: Many of the major characters that AltaÃ¯r is sent to assassinate in Assassin's Creed were real historical figures who died around the time the game is set, with any inaccuracies explained as the Templars having re-written the history books. The sequel takes this up to 11 by making the times of death much more accurate. Brotherhood has Machiavelli at one point say that he intends to write a book about Ezio. Given that Cesare's on the other side, it seems obvious who The Prince was really based on. Revelations has more Historical In-Jokes compared to the first few games. Set in the Ottoman Empire, particularly in Constantinople. Constantinople/Istanbul jokes fly around. In mentioning of The New World's name (Continent of Amerigo), Ezio smiles and remarks "poor Colombo..." Piri Reis, a legendary Ottoman Admiral, was not an admiral by the time of the game, but the Assassins of Constantinople do jokingly call him "Reis" (Ottoman for "Admiral"). Prince-Governor Suleiman keeps on talking to Ezio about tolerance between the Ottoman Empire's subject peoples and a standard and written state law, things he will work on and accomplish as Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Upon Sofia mentioning that she posed for a certain Albrecht DÃ¼rer, Ezio asks if he's an artist of some renown. Even better, the painting that Sofia has that DÃ¼rer painted of her is an ACTUAL DÃ¼rer painting, "Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman." The tie-in comics also reveal that the Assassins and Nikola Tesla were responsible for the Tunguska event in 1908 when they attempted to obtain The Staff of Eden while blowing up the facility where the Templars were keeping it, but they weren't able to remove it in time so it wound up getting blown up as well, with only one member of the Assassin team surviving. A series of missions in Unity has Arno protecting DÃ©sirÃ©e Clary, then Napoleon's fiancÃ©e, with the help of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, who ends up falling for her over the course of the missions. In later years, Bernadotte became a massive thorn in Napoleon's side and DÃ©sirÃ©e's influence was probably one of the reasons why he was never disgraced or even imprisoned. In Rogue, the Assassins of all people are responsible for both the 1751 Port-Au-Prince and the 1755 Lisbon earthquakes, thanks to their negligent explorations of First Civilization sites , setting off devastating mechanisms contained inside. The latter earthquake in particular, triggered by the protagonist Shay, proves to be such a Despair Event Horizon for him that he defects to the Templars. In real life, the sudden nature of and the massive loss of life caused by the Lisbon earthquake had a profound effect on philosophy as a whole, in particular massively Liebniz's famous stipulation that "we live in the best of all possible worlds."

Which might not sound very terrible, unless you know aurochs were twice the size of modern bovines. Kind of like having to fight a tank made of meat.
