It Will Never Catch On	comment	Anachronisms are funny. As are "prophecies" uttered by people who are in a position to lose a great deal of influence, money or credibility if they are wrong. The best thing about Alternate Universes is that they have things we can't possibly imagine being true. Why can't the reverse also fit? Oftentimes, be it a medieval setting or anything else where things we know about have no business existing, something abundantly familiar to our modern audience is put forth as a hypothetical. The punchline is that no one thinks it could possibly be popular, allowing us to laugh at how wrong people's predictions of the future really are, and pat ourselves on the back for accurately predicting the, um... present. Compare Call-Forward and Who Would Want to Watch Us?, which refers to the show itself, and Historical In Jokes that re-interpret the past in terms of the show. Contrast I Want My Jetpack, where our present makes a wrong prediction about the future. Note that this is also Truth in Television, as many things/people that are now legendary were considered potential failures: neither Elvis Presley nor The Beatles got good reviews when they were obscure, and many people couldn't see any use for a home computer. The polar opposite is This Is Going to Be Huge. Both jokes are common in Period Pieces. Contrast to Audience-Alienating Premise for when the work sounds so strange, unique, or boring that it interests no one. This trope does not cover cases where a person simply doesn't like something that later turns out to be popular. Nearly every book in print today was rejected by several other publishers, and every famous actor has been rudely dismissed from an audition at least once. This is not necessarily short-sightedness; perhaps the actor simply wasn't right for that role, or hadn't yet matured into the person we know and love today. This trope comes into play when the rejection (or begrudging acceptance) is accompanied by a blanket statement that proves to be spectacularly wrong. People reinventing things that did catch on didn't know It's Been Done. Not to be confused with Hilarious in Hindsight, but examples of this trope are very often that as well. Contrast Cassandra Truth, where no one believes the dissenting voices who say that some new famous or trendy product, idea or phenomenon is wrong. See also And You Thought It Would Fail, for when this phenomenon happens in Real Life. Also compare Oblivious Mockery, when someone asks "Who would be stupid enough to try that?" unaware that the person next to them actually did it. noreallife Examples

It Will Never Catch On / int_10550610	comment	Happy Days: In the pilot Potsie expresses disbelief that Alaska will become a state. In another episode, Richie and Ralph are watching a Chicago Bears game. Ralph argues that the team's quarterback, George Blanda, is "washed up" at 30, while Richie counters that he's still got "two or three good years left". Blanda, by then aged 48 and with the Oakland Raiders, had just finished playing his 26th and final NFL season when the episode aired in January 1976.

He suggests C. S. Lewis do the same; Lewis manages to roll a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe on his random encounter table. Tolkien, understandably, dismisses it as "bloody silly".

Another episode has Chris' uncle who is always trying some Get-Rich-Quick Scheme selling tapes from his car, and nobody wants to buy them. The tapes are of Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy and a few big 90s rappers. Chris's brother tells Doc about sushi being brought to America and suggests that they should start selling some in the store. Doc laughs at the idea. Chris narrates that Doc later went broke. In yet another episode, a lady describes her boyfriend as a film director who will never be a household name. The director's name? Spike Lee. In ANOTHER episode, Julius declines on investing in the George Foreman grill.

And to the chagrin of Chase and Logan he uses it in as many opportunities as he can. Towards the end of the episode, drippin is now used instead of cool, but when Michael tried claiming credit for it, both Logan and Chase deny that (Chase simply to mess with him and Logan as payback for the other students wailing on him for causing the episodes B plot) and to their annoyance he tries coming up with another slang word: flump.

Their boss Richie is the only one who sees their potential, but he himself doesn't seem thrilled when offered the chance to pick up a struggling artist named Bruce Springsteen. The entire label, save Clark, also don't foresee the upcoming market explosion of disco, and nearly axe their one disco act for not selling right before they start to blow up.

When Jerry asks Joe what happens if the dog loses, Joe assures him that they'll still have keep their jobs — playing in a speakeasy's band. When Jerry asks him what'll happen if they lose their job, Joe snaps with, "Suppose you got hit by a truck! Suppose the stock market crashes! Suppose Mary Pickford divorces Douglas Fairbanks!

It Will Never Catch On / int_2530738c	comment	In Squire Haggard's Journal (published 2001, set in 1777), Grunge predicts that "perhaps in about 223 years" all Europe will unite in a single market, allowing French wine to be imported without customs duties. Haggard retorts that he would rather pay double or treble for brandy than see Britain allied to the "mincing pederasts, papists and dancing-masters in Europe... our lives subject to the whim of envious French officials." At the time that edition of the Journal was published, Grunge's prediction was the correct one, and Haggard's the entertaining error. Twenty years on, the positions are reversed.

It Will Never Catch On / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons In "Much Apu About Nothing", Professor Frink, in a flashback, states that computers in the future will only be owned by the five richest kings in the world and will be the size of a baseball stadium. (In-joke to a quote attributed to Thomas J. Watson of IBM, "I think there is a world market for about five computers.") This is followed by Apu asking if they could one day be used for dating, to which Frink replies that in theory they certain could, but would be so accurate in their matchmaking, that any thrill or romance would be extinguished. In "Homer vs. Dignity", Smithers is taking a leave of absence to star in a musical based on the Malibu Stacy doll, Mr. Burns thinks it's ridiculous, "A musical about a doll? Why not one about the common cat? Or the King of Siam?" This isn't a flashback; Burns is just that out-of-touch. In "Last Exit to Springfield", Mr. Burns reminisces about his days as a child when his grandfather is running his "atom-smashing" plant. After a worker is caught stealing some atoms, he is dragged away, and warns him about the future of the working man. In "That 90s Show", a young Comic Book Guy is heard declaring, "and that is why Lord of the Rings can never be filmed!" Spoofed in "The Blunder Years" where, during Homer's youth (in a sequence parodying Stand by Me), Carl asks if the others have heard about this "Internet" thing... only to reveal he's talking about the inner "net" lining they're starting to put in swim trunks. During Super Bowl III, Abe Simpson says "If people don't support this thing, it might not make it." In the 1991 episode "Bart Gets Hit By A Car", the devil tells Bart "you're not due (in Hell) until the next time the Yankees make it to the World Series." That would be 1996. And they've made it five more times since. In fairness, given how no one involved with The Simpsons made any kind of response when it happened, it's obvious they only intended it as as cheap throwaway joke and didn't care how the franchise did afterward. Same deal with the Denver Broncos. "I Love Lisa" had an in-universe example. Krusty the Clown had this to say about his original detractors:

He delivers a bomb to a hard to reach area in the modern traditional overarm manner. A companion suggests he should try that in his cricket games as a variant to the traditional underarm bowling. He says it'll never catch on. Either method of delivery was perfectly acceptable (although underarm was phased out in the late 19th century) until the 1980s, when underarm bowling was banned.This is played with in the same episode, when Percy hires a young unknown painter, Joseph Turner, to paint a landscape of his house and the surrounding gardens. Percy's friends are skeptical by the finished product, but Percy himself loves it and assures Turner that he's going to go places. This is Truth in Television; landscapes were relatively uncommon and it was in a large part Turner's work which elevated their status.

In 1922, when his name was Simon Weintraub, he wastes his time pitching his invention to a couple in the paper and twine business, who tell him the public won't buy it, "like that radio thing over there." (One of the other characters in the 1934 scene is a famous radio crooner.) There is also a scene where a producer says that he's turned down the melodrama Broadway because he expects "the play won't get a nickel." In The Musical, set four decades later, the producer is approached by a waiter who wants him to invest in his new invention, the answering machine, but he sees no profit in it because answering services already do the same work for people like him; the inventor, of course, reaps millions in time.

Don literally says, "it will never catch on." As evidenced by the fact we have to link to The Other Wiki, he was right. What gives the episode extra points is that there was really a time when people though that jai alai was the next big thing, and for a while it was - in Florida. Its popularity peaked in the 70s before it bombed in the 80s. The "Patxi" referenced in the same episode is also a real jai alai star, Patxi Churruca. Mad Men plays this straight a lot, too, especially in its first season. Don Draper knows someone stole his research report because, "It's not like there's a magical machine out there that copies things." Sterling Cooper gets a Xerox machine next season. Roger Sterling says of psychiatry in the second episode (1960) that it's "just this year's candy-pink stove." By the opening of Season 6 (December 1967), he's seeing a shrink.

It contains a spiteful message from just a few years prior to The Great Video Game Crash of 1983, where Pierce's dad remarks that with many arcades closing and game sales plummeting, it's clear that video games were just a passing fad destined to be forgotten. Obviously, he had no way of knowing that video games would experience a massive resurgence of popularity in the late 80's and early 90's, leading to them becoming the juggernaut industry they are today. In "VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing," the actor of the VCR game quit working with Apple Computers back in 1993 to get his job in the first place, as revealed in The Tag. His wife convinced him that Apple was a dead end and that VCR games are going to become the next big thing.

His Tramp movies had international appeal, which would be severely reduced by adding an English soundtrack.

It Will Never Catch On / int_468bebb0	comment	This joke is done a lot in the Discworld novels. In one scene in Witches Abroad, the witches discuss whether they could fly people about on a "really big broom" in a manner reminiscent of commercial airline travel, alluding to the names of several Roundworld airlines in the process. Naturally, they decide it'd never catch on. Mad Scientist Leonard of Quirm has developed sticky notes, espresso (or "very fast coffee", as he calls it), and the bicycle, among other things, but is never quite sure if the devices he invents will catch on. Leonard of Quirm tends to do this most often with his weaponry designs. He will often devise a weapon capable of annihilating whole armies or destroying mountains, but is naive enough to believe that no one would build or use such a destructive weapon. Leonard seems to be learning, however; in Jingo he designs an underwater war machine then reconsiders and destroys the design... but only after Nobby Nobbs has spent nearly the entire book pointing out to him the ways it could be used in war. Leonard also invents an encryption machine (at Vetinari's request) which he calls something long and convoluted.note Engine for the Neutralizing of Information by the Generation of Miasmic Alphabets The initials of its name work out to Enigma, a real-world encryption engine used by the Germans in WW2. Leonard's inventions are brilliant, but the names never catch on. In the same vein, he calls the previously mentioned underwater war machine affectionately the boat, in lieu of calling it the Going-Under-The-Water-Safely Device. He points out, that he came up with the convoluted name after considering that the boat is submersed in a marine environment. Rincewind in The Last Continent: "What kind of idiot puts beer in tins?" (Justified somewhat by the fact the ringpull hadn't been invented yet.) Also the practice of hanging corks from a hatbrim to keep flies off. People he meets disbelieve that this could work, because surely someone would have thought of it by now. (To which he responds, in exasperation: "Yes. ME.") Rincewind in Sourcery: "Telling stories in a harem? It's not bloody normal! It'll never catch on!" The Science of Discworld does this as well, especially in that the book is basically about the development of our world from the perspective of Unseen University's faculty. First they thought that planets are no place for life to form, and then that the sea is the best place for intelligence, and so on and so forth. At one point, they decide that the "Big lizards" are terribly boring and that historians of Roundworld will just skip over them in their recollections. In The Art of Discworld, Sir Terry Pratchett claims the reason he stabilised the Unseen University faculty in Moving Pictures was to make the UU more of a background feature, since in the early nineties it was very clear to him that there was no future in a series of novels set at a wizarding school.

Also, in a Star Wars parody, during one of those "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" moments, Pinky ponders about a series about two lab mice trying to take over the world and wonders who'd watch that. In another episode, desperate for a new plan, the mice ask Hollywood writers for ideas, claiming that they're making a TV show about two lab mice trying to take over the world. Naturally, some of the writers think it's a bad idea for a show and suggest using the characters for a Totally Radical Superhero series or an overly-saccharine kiddie show. In an episode set during the silent film era, Brain, after a failed attempt to take over the world using movies, stands in front of the projector and laments "There's no way a mouse will ever have an impact on the silver screen". A man clearly meant to be Walt Disney sees Brain's silhouette on the screen and sketches it down. In a Godzilla parody, Brain doesn't believe the miniaturization of electronics in the lab where he and Pinky are residing will catch on, claiming that big things are the wave of the future. Although, considering he's actually talking about the resident Kaiju when he says this, Brain's not wrong either.

At the end of the story, Edwin Winthrop says that the world is becoming more rational and confidently predicts that "the next time anything like this happens, we shall get to the bottom of it without panic or hysteria"; however, the reader will recognise the incident as a precursor to the UFO mania of the later 20th century, which featured just as much hysteria and just as few definite answers. In "Sorcerer Conjurer Wizard Witch" (set in The '30s), Edwin Winthrop is perplexed that Dr Shade is so paranoid as to have "an ingenious hobbling device" padlocked to his motor-cycle, as if something so hard to fence would be stolen. In "Cold Snap" (set in 1976), Derek Leech's equipment for the exploratory expedition he goes on with Richard Jeperson includes a bulky hiking backpack that turns out to contain a barely-portable communication device that becomes a functioning telephone when plugged into mains power. Richard says that he can't imagine anybody wanting a telephone they have to carry around, which gets a knowing response from Leech. Also in "Cold Snap", a group of characters have to drive to a rendezvous point, and a character with eidetic memory recites the directions for getting there in a machine-like monotone. Another character says that one day all cars will have a device that can do the same thing, but is not believed.

The game was originally released on Nintendo 3DS, a device that can be seen as a modern version of the old-timey stereoscopes featured in the game, so merely by playing the game, you were proving her wrong. Unfortunately, this gag's context was lost on non-Japanese players, since they only got the game several years later on consoles that lack 3D functionality, making all the talk about stereoscopic images The Artifact.

It Will Never Catch On / int_81692f99	comment	A few examples in the Star Trek franchise: In "Time's Arrow", Data is thrown back in time to 19th Century San Francisco. After winning a substantial amount of money at poker (playing against Mark Twain, of all people), he begins assembling materials to build an advanced scanner. The bellhop asks if it's a motor for one of those horseless carriages, and then if he thinks there's really money in them. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. A serious example occurs in "Far Beyond the Stars", when Captain Sisko starts to hallucinate that he's a science-fiction writer in the 1950s. He submits an excellent story about a space station called Deep Space Nine, but his editor tells him to drop the idea of a Negro captain as it's "too unrealistic". However Played for Laughs with a note from the editor pinned to Armin Shimerman's desk, rejecting one of his story ideas. "No-one would ever believe that a cheerleader could kill vampires." However another note correctly states that "Four Laws of Robotics are one too many." In "Statistical Probabilities", Bashir and some other genetically-engineered people come to the conclusion there's no way the Federation can win against the Dominion. Bashir tells Sisko that even a Cardassian-led coup couldn't turn the tide. In the epic battle of the series finale, the Cardassians suddenly turning on the Dominion is the key moment that achieves victory. In Star Trek: Enterprise, Travis says that Starfleet should consider putting families on starships, as he grew up on a freighter and families are especially prevalent in the cargo service. Malcolm, the British Military Brat tactical officer, naturally believes this to be a terrible idea. After all, what's next? Having a psychologist on the bridge? In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever", Edith Keeler expresses hope that humanity will one day live in an era of peace and be able to travel through space. While the people in her boarding house scoff at this; Kirk and Spock know full well it will happen. The episode's plot, however, hinges on her death being preserved in order to ensure the United States' entry until World War II, meaning that she was in the wrong time to see all this happen. In the pilot for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Pike's response to being told that General Order One is being renamed the Prime Directive is to quip that "that'll never stick".

Sharon not only went on to win Season 4, but is also one of the more popular queens to come from the show.note Admittedly, Sharon did struggle in that episode and clashed with Mutchnick more than once, making it understandable why he wasn't a fan of hers. When Season 5's Alyssa Edwards did poorly in a comedy challenge, she took it in stride because "America's Next Drag Superstar is not going to tour the country being a stand-up comedian." Not only was Season 5's crown won by comedic performer Jinkx Monsoon, but Season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio is exclusively a stand-up comedian (skipping the singing, dancing, and/or lipsynching that make up the average Drag Queen performance) and has toured not only the US but the entire world. Season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen also incorporates stand-up comedy into her sets. And now there's a touring roast featuring the stars of the show, including...Alyssa Edwards.

When Marty says that Wilson is going to be Mayor, Wilson's boss just scoffs, "A colored Mayor! That'll be the day." And, of course, Doc's hilarious tirade after Marty informs him who the president of the U.S. will be in 1985. ("Ronald Reagan?! The actor? Ha! Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis?! I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady! And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!") In an early draft of the script, the Doc refuses to invest in the Xerox company, wondering aloud, "How are they going to sell a product if you can't even pronounce the name?" Back to the Future Part III: When Marty introduces himself by the name "Eastwood, Clint Eastwood" in 1885 Hill Valley, Bufford Tannen replies, "What kind of stupid name is that?" And this quip when Marty has to face Buford in a shootout or else he'd get branded a coward: "Everybody everywhere will say that Clint Eastwood is the biggest yellowbelly in the West!" Again when the men in the bar scoff at Doc Brown's predictions that people will run for fun in the future. In the same scene, they also dismiss him predicting the invention of the automobile. Actually, primitive automobiles already existed in 1885, though they wouldn't be well-known to the general public until ten or twenty years later. And the 1955 Doc's surprise at finding out that all the best cars and electronics are made in Japan.note At the time, "Made in Japan" was synonymous with "garbage".

It Will Never Catch On / int_9799ebfe	comment	Back to the Future Part III: When Marty introduces himself by the name "Eastwood, Clint Eastwood" in 1885 Hill Valley, Bufford Tannen replies, "What kind of stupid name is that?" And this quip when Marty has to face Buford in a shootout or else he'd get branded a coward: "Everybody everywhere will say that Clint Eastwood is the biggest yellowbelly in the West!" Again when the men in the bar scoff at Doc Brown's predictions that people will run for fun in the future. In the same scene, they also dismiss him predicting the invention of the automobile. Actually, primitive automobiles already existed in 1885, though they wouldn't be well-known to the general public until ten or twenty years later. And the 1955 Doc's surprise at finding out that all the best cars and electronics are made in Japan.note At the time, "Made in Japan" was synonymous with "garbage".

Fast forward twenty-two years to the start of the series, and Shanks is one of the four most powerful pirates in the world while Buggy is raiding small towns in the East Blue, the weakest sea. However, later chapters reveal the real reason Buggy refused Shanks offer was that he did believe in Shanks, but Shanks' seeming disinterest in finding the One Piece caused Buggy to have a Broken Pedestal moment and refuse Shanks' offer of a partnership. The Seven Warlords of the Sea remark that they don't consider new prospect Blackbeard a threat, since he has no reputation and will never be respected as a pirate. Guess who's now part of the Big Bad Ensemble and a potential final opponent of the series, some hundreds of chapters later?

It Will Never Catch On / int_ba666650	comment	Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: In one of her radio calls, Para-Medic pitches the idea that the future will have "movies where you control the characters yourself." She also mentioned an early VCR and the potential for "records with movie film etched onto them instead of music" — Snake is astonished at all these concepts, but doesn't consider any of them realistic. Funnily enough, critics of the Metal Gear series often derisively compare the games to movies due to their unusually long cutscenes — Para-Medic thus also predicted one of the more common complaints about the game she's in right now. Another radio conversation in the game has Snake and resident weapons expert Sigint speculating the potential success of a walking, nuclear-equipped battle machine... specifically, the eponymous Metal Gear, whose designer Snake had just met and spoken to at length. Sigint thinks it's just about the stupidest thing he's ever heard, explaining in detail the flaws in the idea, and hopes the designer was joking. Peachi lampshades this in her comic adaptation of MGS3 by having Snake grin at the audience and a Rimshot play after this conversation. Snake also scoffs at the idea of human cloning after Para-Medic tells him about Invasion of the Body Snatchers; every other Metal Gear Solid game features clones of Snake as major characters. And another: Before the events of the game, Snake had no idea smoking was unhealthy. When calling Sigint about the XM16E1 rifle, Snake seems to think the addition of a three-round burst fire mode to the gun is a rather stupid idea. While his statement makes sense given the timeline (US military doctrine for firing weapons in combat at the time was, basically "you fire in full auto or you don't fire at all"), the M16 eventually shook off most of its infamy from The Vietnam War with the A2 version, which replaced the full-auto fire with a three-round burst. The return of a fully automatic fire mode is a much desired feature among US soldiers. Subverted when Major Zero talks about James Bond, having recently seen From Russia with Love — he, being a huge Bond fan, liked it so much that he thinks they'll make 20 more movies. Snake doesn't really say anything about it, but when the game was released there were exactly 20 Bond movies.

It Will Never Catch On / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: There is an incredibly prophetic example of this in the Classic series. The First Doctor story "The Chase" opens with the companions (Barbara and Ian from 1963, and Vicki from the 2400s) using a machine to view various events from history. Both Barbara and Ian are surprised when Vicki chooses to look up the Beatles playing "Ticket to Ride" live on Top of the Pops, but she assures them that she learned about them in their monument in Liverpool (but had no idea they played "classical music"). This was presumably intended as an ironic joke for the contemporary 1965 audience who saw them as a Boy Band, but they have monuments in Liverpool to them already and their music has been analysed like (and found worthy of standing with) classical music. Even more amazingly, the footage she views of them playing is footage that was lost due to the BBC's policy of "junking" old footage, meaning she'd have a good reason to want to see that specific performance again. (The footage used of it in Doctor Who is the only clip of it that exists.) Inverted in "The Unquiet Dead", in which Charles Dickens asks if his books will endure and is pleased to learn that they will endure "forever". "The Unicorn and the Wasp" features the Doctor and Donna travelling back to the twenties and meeting Agatha Christie, who proclaims that her books "will be never be loved by anyone". In "Vincent and the Doctor", it's shown that no one in Vincent van Gogh's time likes his paintings. At the end of the episode the Doctor takes him to the future to show him that his art is among the most loved art of all time. This one is mostly Truth in Television, though perhaps not quite to the extent the show played the trope. "Day of the Moon": "Oh Dicky, Tricky Dicky, they're never going to forget you." (To Richard Nixon early in his presidency, referencing, among other things, Watergate.) In "Deep Breath", Madame Vastra calls advertising in newspapers a "distressing trend". "Rosa": When the Doctor and Graham have to deal with a police officer who was called on them (they're in 1955), Graham improvises a rambling cover story about coming to town to sell an invention, and describes what's essentially a cell phone. The officer thinks it sounds stupid. "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" deals with this heavily, since Nikola Tesla is considered to have been ahead of his time with his predictions of things like radar and wi-fi many decades before they became reality. Notably, one scene has people protesting outside his lab thanks to Thomas Edison's campaign against Tesla's invention of alternating current because it's apparently deadlier than Edison's direct current, when alternating current is the primary method of electrical transmission in the present day.

The protagonist's lecherous friend talks about how he modeled himself after John Travolta, and he's been a growing failure at keeping up the image as he's aged, just as "[Travolta's show] got cancelled!" John Travolta, of course, famously ended up having a big comeback with Pulp Fiction. Inverted later; a woman tells Julia that her marriage is a true match, just like several celebrity relationships that she thinks will catch on and last forever... like Donald and Ivana Trump. Or Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson. Or Woody Allen and Mia Farrow.

Zagreus later discovers that not only did Orpheus completely believe everything he told him, but composed an Orphic hymn based on the tall tales to spread the word. Hades mocks Zagreus over the content, to which Zagreus replies, "I'm not worried. Orpheus plays for a very small audience."

At the end of the story, Edwin Winthrop says that the world is becoming more rational and confidently predicts that "the next time anything like this happens, we shall get to the bottom of it without panic or hysteria"; however, the reader will recognise the incident as a precursor to the UFO mania of the later 20th century, which featured just as much hysteria and just as few definite answers.

It Will Never Catch On / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989): In "August", the Emperor Augustus says "That will not last" about the names of the months July and August, named after himself and Julius Caesar. note Considering what happened to other (admittedly later) emperors' attempts to change the names (Nero and Domitian come to mind), this would not have been an unusual sentiment. In "Men of Good Fortune" (Sandman #13), Hob Gadling says that there'll "never be a real demand" for printing. The same early Tudor encounter also has an elderly man complaining that chimneys are a bad idea, and it was much healthier when houses were full of smoke. In the 18th century the Sandman, however, correctly predicts that the Bowdlerized versions of Shakespeare's plays will not have any lasting popularity. Shakespeare himself winds up creating the famous Guy Fawkes Night rhyme, then remarking that it and the holiday itself will be forgotten in a few years.

Not only does he think home computers will never be successful, he thinks video games will be a sure investment, which was technically correct in the long run... except that the series is set in the years just before The Great Video Game Crash of 1983.

It Will Never Catch On / int_f0b1b9a5	comment	In the Marcus Didius Falco series, Falco, a Hardboiled Detective in Ancient Rome, writes a play, The Spook Who Spoke, whose plot is remarkably similar to Hamlet. The actor he describes it to instantly rejects the idea, as ghosts don't speak in plays. On another occasion Falco encounters a Gaulish cook, which he finds ridiculous, as that country will never be famous for good food. He runs into a group of Christians, and dismisses them as just another cult targeting middle-class idiots, and who'd want to worship only one god anyway? On another occasion, a group of Jewish slaves want to hire him to find one of their religious artifacts lost in the Roman sack of Jerusalem. Falco, of course, has no intention of working for the pittance they could pay him, and the whole thing is undoubtedly a wild goose chase anyways. In "Alexandria" the inventor Heron mentions his aeolipile (wind ball, a steam engine - and yes, it was a real invention) which Helena Justina suggests could be used as a form of propulsion to move vehicles. Heron laughs at this and says his invention is merely a toy - after all, who would need it? (Although he also points out the difficulty making a strong enough boiler for a larger version.)

It Will Never Catch On / int_f0c816fb	comment	An incredibly dark example in Breaking Bad: back in the 80s, Gus and Maximo ("Los Pollos Hermanos"), a would-be distributor and cook of crystal meth propose having their goods sold by the JuÃ¡rez Cartel to its current leader. The leader rejects the idea of crystal meth being worth selling, calling it "poor man's cocaine", and when the cook tries to argue otherwise the leader has the cook murdered on the spot. Cut a couple decades later and the cartel... is still around, selling crystal meth like everyone else, and is a main competitor of the aforementioned distributor.

It Will Never Catch On / int_f1514117	comment	In Mafia II, in one of the missions you can overhear one guard talking about how he bought a television set and the other guard demeaning television as "just a fad", and perhaps a waste of money because only cartoons can be seen on those channels. The discussion evolves into a crazy concept where the viewer could manipulate the cartoons, such as pressing a button to have him walk, and another button to have him shoot, something that is technically ridiculous.

Fozzie offers him a ride, but Big Bird politely declines the offer, saying that he is on his way to New York City to try and break into public television. Fozzie and Kermit exchange wary looks, and Fozzie wishes Big Bird good luck.

It Will Never Catch On / int_f391435a	comment	In a flashback of Jack Ryan, we learn that the season 1 Big Bad graduated at the top of his class in Sorbonne. In 2001, he applied for a job at a major Paris bank but was denied because the execs scoffed at the idea of online banking (and also, possibly, because he was Lebanese). Not only were they utterly wrong, but this helped start a chain of events that led to him radicalizing and becoming the next bin Laden.

It Will Never Catch On / int_f4b2ce93	comment	Histeria!: In an episode, Nostradamus boasts about several of his more famous predictions, including his prediction that Titanic would be a colossal box office flop. ("Can't win 'em all!" he says, jovially.) In another skit, Edgar Allan Poe was meeting with a publisher over his story The Raven. The publisher kept wanting to make the poem more upbeat and cheerful, feeling it was too grim to be popular. Poe, not wanting his vision changed, abandoned the publisher to find other means of publishing his work, with the last words the publisher said to him was that nobody would like it. You all probably know how it turned out.

It Will Never Catch On / int_f84e9cf5	comment	John Morrison was rejected from season 2 of Tough Enough because Kevin Dunn didn't like his attitude, believing that Morrison was patronizing the judges and that he didn't truly want to be a WWE Superstar. The fact that he came back to take part in and win season 3 before going on to have a relatively successful run in the company for a few years before leaving WWE and showing he has the talent to thrive in any wrestling organization tends to make Dunn's words in the early 2000s ring hollow.

By Act II, the scriptorium has gone out of business. In the beginning of Act I, Baron Lorenz showed interest in Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses and attempted to start a debate with the Abbey much to Brother Guy's objection along with causing shock among the monks. This became the context of unrest in Act II that coincided with the Peasant War. Act II involved Andreas joining a trip with a musket-wielding hunter, for which he could show disdain for his weapon depending on the player's dialogue choices.

Mary doesn't think it'll catch on. This is actually anachronistic, as standard tables have been around for thousands of years, while the Roman style of reclining was only a recent invention at the time.
