Did you know Curious George never had a tail? Or that Pikachu's tail never had a black tip? Or that it's spelled Berenstain with an A and not Berenstein with an E? The Mandela Effect is when a large number of people share a false memory. When it comes to fiction, this can be anything ranging from misremembering a visual detail to remembering a scene that never existed. The Trope Namer comes from Fiona Broome, who coined the phrase when she claimed to have falsely remembered that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, when he actually lived to be released from prison in 1990, helped bring about the end of apartheid and subsequently received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and remained a prominent activist on the world stage until his death in 2013 following a prolonged respiratory infection.note The false memories about his death may come from confusion with Mandela's fellow anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, who died from Police Brutality while in jail and who in his lifetime and well after was often mentioned in the same breath as Mandela, so when some people heard about an anti-apartheid activist dying in prison, they likely assumed it was Mandela due to him being a more well-known name and continued on under this mistaken assumption. Though Biko died in 1977, before the timeframe in which Mandela was believed to have died in, the Steve Biko biopic Cry Freedom was released in 1987 which brought his death back into public consciousness, which is why Mandela's death was misremembered as occurring in the 80s. She and around a thousand other people have falsely remembered this event, which led to her creating a website documenting this strange phenomenon. Many fans of the concept also claim it's not Fake Memories, but glimpses into alternate universes, but that's another thing entirely. Compare Common Knowledge, Pop-Culture Urban Legends, Viewer Name Confusion. Contrast with Revealing Continuity Lapse, which can unintentionally cause an in-universe Mandela Effect. Sub-Tropes are: Beam Me Up, Scotty!: An iconic line was either never actually said or was a misquoted variant of what was actually said. God Never Said That: Fans either assume the creator said something or misinterpret what the creator said to claim that so-and-so is canon, when the creator never claimed such a thing. Viewer Name Confusion: Audience members have a mistaken impression of what someone's name is. |

Mrs. Doubtfire: There's a scene where Doubtfire throws a lime at the back of Stu's head. When he turns around, she says it was a "run-by fruiting". A lot of people say the line used to be "drive-by fruiting", even though the former makes more sense; presumably because it's a clear play on "drive-by shooting". There was even a band called "Mr.Doubtfire" that had an album named "drive-by fruiting", complete with a picture of a lime. | |

Captain Disillusion has an episode based entirely around discussing the effect (or rather, "The Mandaellah Effekt"), which simultaneously depicts the Captain giving his usual spiel, and an Alternate Timeline where Holly is in his position giving the same discussion. While the Captain (both versions of them) do think of it as a fun quirk of collective memory, they also heavily criticize its proliferation as a sign of "proof" for insane conspiracy theories, and discourage taking it so seriously as it encourages sloppy, uncritical thinking. | |

It was long widely agreed among Monster Hunter fans that Deviljho, a Big Eater monster debuting in the third generation, is so ravenous that it would even eat its own severed tail. However, a random tweet in late 2022 pointed out that nobody has ever actually recorded this behavior, leading the fanbase to scramble for proof... and it turned out there was none. It had never been part of the monster's behavior in any game. | |

When Ron and Chris had a cooking competition on Parks and Recreation, Ron made a simple "beef in a bun" burger that handily beat Chris' gourmet and handcrafted... veggie burger, right? No, it was a turkey burger. Understandable due to the prevalence of the Disgusting Vegetarian Food trope, as well as turkey burgers not being that common and recognizable as a "healthy alternative" to beef. | |

The Matrix: A lot of people remember Morpheus saying "What if I told you", usually during the pill scene. He never says it. There is a very common meme showing a screencap of Morpheus with the words "what if I told you (fill in the blank)", which may be where the misconception comes from, although that raises the obvious question of where the person who thought of the meme got the line in the first place. | |

Contrary to its film adaptation, The Wizard of Oz never even hints that Dorothy is just dreaming; she returns to Oz many times and eventually settles there for good.

Many people swear that the pre-credits "To Be Continued" message was present in the original theatrical run of Back to the Future, when in fact it was only added in the home VHS release in 1986, after the possibility of sequels was a Foregone Conclusion thanks to the movie's success at the box office. A basic understanding of the studio system is enough to debunk this, since practically no unproven concept ever gets a sequel greenlit before box office returns come in to justify it (Part II does have "To Be Concluded" before the credit roll in all versions, but at that point the third movie was a given, having been made concurrently and scheduled for release by the time the second hit theaters) and the filmmakers have repeatedly stated that no one expected the first film to be such a massive hit. When the film was later released on DVD and streaming, the "To Be Continued" was taken back out, with Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis doing so specifically because they wanted to preserve the original theatrical presentation. | |

Lassie: Some people remember Timmy falling down a well and having to be rescued by Lassie, enough that there is a trope named after it. In all of the show's nearly 600 episodes, this never happens. There is an episode where Lassie falls in a well and has to be rescued, which is likely where this misconception comes from. | |

The Hunger Games: Some people remember a player falling out of their pod during the countdown scene before the timer reaches zero and instantly exploding in a ball of fire. No such thing happens in the movie, nor it is mentioned in the book. The most likely theory is that some are people confusing it with The Starving Games, a parody movie of The Hunger Games, where in a similar scene it is specified that the field is booby trapped with explosives, and LMFAO jump out of their pods during the countdown scene, exploding in the process. | |

Many people in the United States swear that they remember watching Trigun on Toonami. It never aired on Toonami in the states and probably would have been very difficult given how death and gunplay are vital to the plot and would be impossible to edit for an after school timeslot. Trigun actually aired on [adult swim], not Toonami. However, for the Toonami comeback April Fool's joke in 2012, Toonami did show an episode of Trigun, and the movie did air on the revived block in 2013. The funny thing is that Trigun was aired on Toonami... in Latin America (since Adult Swim only aired Western shows in that region), it's possible the confusion stems from there. | |

There has never an iteration of the MechWarrior series on PC where you could get out of your 'Mech. This error is usually caused by one of five common misunderstandings: Mistaking the external camera in MechWarrior 2 for exiting your 'Mech (the camera just rotates around your Mech, including an approximately ground level view). Mistaking the Xbox game MechAssault for a PC release, which did feature the option to move around in battle on the infantry scale. Mistaking MechWarrior: Living Legends for an official release (it is actually a fan-made Game Mod of Crysis Warhead). Mistaking obscure PC Mech-Sim G-Nome for a MechWarrior title, which did feature the option to steal enemy mechs as a tactic. Mistaking Shogo: Mobile Armor Division for a MechWarrior title. Shogo is not a proper Mech-Sim, and is more of a first-person shooter that just happens to alternate levels where you're on foot and in a mech. |

A lot of people remember Incredibles 2 coming out long before it did, sometimes as far back as the '00s, with some people even saying they watched it. It's possible they are confusing it with The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, which only came out a year after the first movie, and is a Sequel in Another Medium to the original (but was later made non-canon). It's also possible people just assumed it must have already come out because of the fourteen-year gap between the two movies. | |

The Berenstain Bears: One of the most famous examples would have to be the debate over whether the title is spelled as Berenstain or Berenstein. While it's officially Berenstain, there is a large number of people who claim it's Berenstein, to the point where even some official merchandise uses that spelling. This has led to a (mostly tongue-in-cheek) conspiracy theory that the people who remember the latter spelling were transported from an alternate universe. Some people who remember the latter spelling even remember mispronouncing it as "Berensteen" or even "Barenstine". Surnames ending with "-stein" are a lot more common than those ending with "-stain", so what probably happened is that people just subconsciously changed it to the more familiar suffix in their heads. | |

The title of Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation is frequently misremembered as "How I Spent My Summer Vacation". While that was its Working Title until it was changed later in production, people still tend to think that's the final title. | |

Mario Party: In the first two games, people remember there being a minigame where you had to jump across hovering platforms of various types in an Auto-Scrolling Level and be the first one to make it to the end, and that it was called "Platform Panic." While the minigame itself is indeed quite real, the name of the game in question is actually "Platform Peril." The misremembering is most likely due to a number of reasons, including the existence of an actual Platform Game called Platform Panic, as well as the fact that the words "peril" and "panic" have nearly interchangeable connotations and share the same first letter. In addition, "panic" is a more commonly known word, especially amongst children (the games' target demographic), than the word "peril," and is therefore the one that will more likely stick in the average player's head. | |

Some people think that the very first broadcast of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown did include a scene where the Great Pumpkin does appear and that the scene in question has never aired since nor been on any home video release of the special. This misremembering appears to go beyond people who watched the original broadcast in 1966, as people will recall this even if they watched the special on reruns or home video. In reality, the Great Pumpkin character never appears in the special, just as he is a figment of Linus' imagination and has never been seen in any Peanuts media. This can potentially be chalked up to viewers, in their youth, misremembering the sequence where Linus mistakes Snoopy for the Great Pumpkin. | |

Curious George: Although George has never had a tail, people tend to misremember him with a tail. This likely stems from George consistently being referred to as a monkey, when his lack of a tail would make him an ape. | |

Since 1972, the final contest on The Price Is Right has been the Showcase. Since 1975 when the show expanded to an hour, the playoff with the big wheel to determine who goes there has been the Showcase Showdown.

Jordan Minor of Geek.com invented a whole bunch of "missing episodes" for Street Sharks and posted them on TVTome for a lark, and it wasn't long before people circulated (and quite truly believed, including saying that they saw them) the urban legend that those episodes existed. Even people who worked on the show misremembered Adam West and Henry Winkler voicing characters, even though they were never actually involved with the show, only claimed to be in those fake missing episodes. | |

Undertale has several fan ideas that many people seem to forget aren’t true in the actual game: So little is known about W. D. Gaster that the in-game sprite most fans believe to be his may not actually be his. In fact, there are at least two possible sprites for Gaster, but the second often goes ignored due to the popularity of the first. Gaster also isn’t shown to have floating hands with holes at any point, yet most fan works depict him this way. Additionally, Gaster is at no point even implied to have been a skeleton, but he is usually depicted as such in fan works. Papyrus is usually portrayed as hating puns, since he yells at his brother Sans when he makes them coupled with excuses to get out of actually doing any work. However, he actually makes the second-most puns in the game (second only to the narrator), one even being found during an exchange with Sans. It's even implied that he does find at least some of Sans's puns legitimately funny. Regarding SOULs: While there is evidence in the game pointing toward different SOUL colors representing different traits (orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple being Bravery, Justice, Kindness, Patience, Integrity, and Perseverance respectively), the red soul trait is never hinted at in-game. Many use the fact that the protagonist’s SOUL has more Determination than anyone else’s in the game to argue that it is the red SOUL trait, but little evidence to back up such a claim exists. Things such as Magic or Love have been used as the white SOUL trait that the monsters have, but this isn’t alluded to either. Hate is not canon, nor has it ever been mentioned. The idea of Chara’s SOUL trait being replaced by Hate (or corrupted by it) is entirely fanon. |

Superman: The Animated Series: Superman is often remembered as having red trunks, but his trunks are actually black, reflecting only a shimmer of red light. His cape and boots are red, so people are probably extending that to his trunks. note Also, the fact that many official box art have indeed depicted him with such sort of serves to exacerbate. In Justice League Unlimited, he actually does have red trunks. | |

Mario Kart: In general, it's common to misremember characters being on one of the newer installment's rosters that have never actually been featured in the game, especially with the very character-heavy Tour and the crossover-happy Arcade GP. Amongst the most frequently falsely remembered are King K. Rool, Luma, and Baby Wario. Mario Kart Wii: People that played the battle mode in this game remember one of the courses being "Chain Chomp Wheel," an indoor circular track in which you had to avoid being crushed by a giant Chain Chomp spinning around the map. Except, the actual name of the track is "Chain Chomp Roulette," something a lot of people forget because Mario Kart isn't a franchise that one would expect to have a reference to gambling, and "wheel" is an easier word to associate with the racing-themed video game, especially amongst its target demographic of young children and tweens. It's a common enough misconception that Schaffrillas Productions referred to it as such in his ranking of battle tracks from the game (in which it placed 7th out of 10). |

Inspector Gadget: Some people swear they remember seeing an episode where they finally show Dr.Claw's face. While there was an action figure made of him, which obviously had a face, it was never shown in the cartoon itself. This may be due to confusion with the SNES game, where you can briefly see his face, although the low resolution and crude graphics make it hard to make out. | |

There is no evidence of this version having ever been produced. |

The Evil Queen never says "Mirror, mirror, on the wall" in Disney's version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Unlike in the original tale, she says "Magic mirror on the wall". The Italian dub changed the phrase but suffers the same fate: the queen says "Specchio, servo delle mie brame" ("Mirror, servant of my desires") and everyone remembers "Specchio, specchio delle mie brame" ("Mirror, mirror of my desires"). | |

Slugma and Magcargo made their debut in Pokémon Gold and Silver, but since they were a rare post game encounter in their debut generation but a relatively common early game Pokemon in Gen 3, many players mistakenly remember them as debuting in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It doesn't help that the line's debut episode in the English dub of the anime aired a mere four days before Ruby and Sapphire came out in America. Due to being a rare encounter in its debut game and not appearing in the English dub of the anime until after Ruby and Sapphire came out, Misdreavus is also sometimes mistaken for a gen 3 Pokemon, and occasionally even mistaken for generation 4, due to its evolution Mismagius being introduced in those games. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In regards to "The Southern Air Temple", an episode centered around flashbacks to Zuko and Aang's backstories, several fans misremember the reason Fire Lord Ozai challenged Prince Zuko, his son, to an Agni Kai, and then burned him and banished him when he refuses to fight back, as being because Zuko dared to criticize a Fire Navy officer's plan to sacrifice his men as a decoy. In reality, Ozai's opinion on the plan was never actually stated, and the Agni Kai happened because Zuko spoke out of turn. This is like the result of people confusing it with Zuko's Heel–Face Turn in Book 3, which was sparked by an actual disagreement between the two. | |

Not many remember that Sisko was a Commander for the first three seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Not only would he frequently be referred to as "Captain Sisko" during that time but people refer back to those episodes using the title as well. In the first three seasons, it was also common to refer to him as the "first black captain", sometimes with no qualifier at all. He was not at all the first black captain in general, even when he became a captain. He was the first black lead, but many black captains, such as the captain of the Saratoga in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Captain Tryla Scott, existed well before Sisko. It also tends to be forgotten that while the Saratoga's captain was the first time we saw a black character in the concurrent role of captain of a starship, the fact is that during the Original Series, we met Commodore Stone, played by black actor Percy Rodriguez. Commodore outranks Captain, and this means that at some point, Stone likely was a Captain himself. | |

Star Trek: Dr. McCoy's catchphrase in Star Trek: The Original Series is commonly remembered as "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a (fill in other occupation)". At no time did he ever say the words "dammit", which would not have been allowed by 1960s broadcast television standards. He did frequently state that he was a doctor, not a whatever. He did say "dammit" a few times in the movies, but never in conjunction with his catchphrase from the show. There are still people who think there was a character named "Doctor Spock" and that he was famous for his "Vulcan Death Grip", both of which are thanks mainly to Common Knowledge and confusion and the real life Dr. Benjamin Spock. There are actual fans who have watched numerous episodes who will insist there was such a thing as the "death grip", likely confusing it with the Nerve Pinch, which did not kill. (The episode "The Enterprise Incident" does actually mention the Vulcan Death Grip, but it's completely made up to fake Kirk's death, with Nurse Chapel specifically noting that there's no such thing.) "Reverse the polarity" is a phrase associated with Doctor Who, but you will see many people, mocking Trek's tendency to engage in technobabble suggest it was a common thing heard on this series. It was not. A number of fans seem to remember a surprisingly frank (for the time) implication of sex between Kirk and Deela in the episode "Wink of an Eye". And there was, but it wasn't nearly as clear-cut as some fans will tell you. It's commonly remembered that there was a scene where a shirtless Kirk stands up from his bed, pulling his pants back on, or at least re-fastening them. Sex was strongly implied, but the closest it came was a scene of them kissing, cutting away from the scene, then cutting back to a fully-dressed Kirk sitting on his bed and putting his boots back on. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, there was no nudity or simulated sex in the scene where Tasha Yar, infected by a virus that makes one behave as if drunk, seduces Data. They kiss briefly before the scene cuts away. There also seem to be some who believe Data and Yar were boning on the regular, but there's not even a hint that outside of this one instance that they ever saw each other as more than friends. (Indeed, at the end of the episode, Tasha tells Data "It. Never. Happened.") Not many remember that Sisko was a Commander for the first three seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Not only would he frequently be referred to as "Captain Sisko" during that time but people refer back to those episodes using the title as well.

It's a common enough misconception that Schaffrillas Productions referred to it as such in his ranking of battle tracks from the game (in which it placed 7th out of 10). Mario Party: In the first two games, people remember there being a minigame where you had to jump across hovering platforms of various types in an Auto-Scrolling Level and be the first one to make it to the end, and that it was called "Platform Panic." While the minigame itself is indeed quite real, the name of the game in question is actually "Platform Peril." The misremembering is most likely due to a number of reasons, including the existence of an actual Platform Game called Platform Panic, as well as the fact that the words "peril" and "panic" have nearly interchangeable connotations and share the same first letter. In addition, "panic" is a more commonly known word, especially amongst children (the games' target demographic), than the word "peril," and is therefore the one that will more likely stick in the average player's head. |

Many fans remember Jonathan telling Dio "If I die, my ghost is going to haunt you" during their final battle in Phantom Blood, leading to a popular theory that his spirit was eventually reborn as Star Platinum and defeated Dio for good. In truth, Jonathan never says this line at any point in either the anime or manga. | |

Several fans of The Lion King (1994) firmly believe that when they first saw the film in 1994, Simba and Nala had twin cubs at the end, not just one. Most likely they're thinking of the similar Babies Ever After ending of Bambi, which does feature twin fawns, or they could've mixed it up with The Lion Guard, where Simba and Nala had Kion when Kiara herself was a cub. | |

In one of the Known Space books, a character is asked "what does it do" about a machine, and is told "It's beautiful! Why does it have to do anything?" It's possible people are mangling this into the mystery quote. | |

Goof Troop: People frequently believe that Max's unseen mother was officially dead due to Goofy saying something along the lines of "She's up there amongst the stars" in regards to her. No such line was ever uttered in the series, and Max's mother is just non-existent, with her never being mentioned at all. | |

The Wizard of Oz: Some fans are convinced that when they first saw the film, at the very end the camera panned down to show the Ruby Slippers under Dorothy's bed, revealing that her adventures in Oz were Real After All. The movie has never ended this way; the All Just a Dream ending was specifically written because 1930s viewers were thought to be "too sophisticated" to accept a straightforward live-action fantasy. In the scene where the gang first enters the Haunted Forest, the Scarecrow is suddenly and inexplicably holding a gun. (This was because he was supposed to have it as a weapon for the Jitterbug Deleted Scene, which was why the Lion also had a bug-catching net and pump sprayer.) Most people don't seem to have noticed this, and seemed shocked when it's pointed out, saying they would have noticed something so odd and out of place. A lot of people remember the Wicked Witch Of The West giving her flying monkeys the order "fly, my pretties, fly." Instead, she just says "fly fly fly" over and over again. There are a lot of parodies (such as The Simpsons and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)) of the scene that do say the line as "fly, my pretties, fly", presumably to make it clear what character they're parodying, since calling people "my pretty" is something the witch does a lot throughout the film - just not in this scene. |

Similarly to the above, not a single edition of To Kill a Mockingbird ever had the word "how" in the title, as in "How To Kill a Mockingbird." This is because the actual title comes from the phrase used in the book that serves as the story's central theme and as a reflection of its moral framework. The full phrase is "shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Despite this, many people still remember the title starting with the word "how," to the point that many old and well-known jokes make fun of the non-existent title, such as the following: | |

Early in Stardust Crusaders, there is a scene where Avdol has Jotaro draw a tarot card from a deck to name his Stand. Many fans online have claimed that Jotaro initially draws the World, only for Avdol to have him redo it because someone else had already taken the name (this is particularly significant because it's often said to be foreshadowing to the later revelation that Jotaro's Stand has the ability to stop time, just like The World). However, the scene does not play out this way: Jotaro simply draws the Star right off the bat, inspiring the name of his Star Platinum. A video by Hamon Beat traces the misconception to a joke edit of the scene that matches the misremembered details. | |

There are many who claim that you can see Bambi's mother being shot. Although it was considered to be shown early on in development, the final movie never actually shows her moment of death. The film does have a scene later on that shows adult Bambi getting shot in midair, which may be responsible for the confusion. | |

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Many people erroneously remember Kirk yelling "KHAAAAAAAAAN!" as a Skyward Scream with a spinning overhead shot (even the creator of the Skyward Scream page did, as it was initially named "The Khan"), when the scene itself is just a straightforward close-up. The misconception may be thanks to the Seinfeld episode "The Dealership", during which George screams "TWIIIIIIIIIX!", parodying that scene while using such a shot. | |

The Jungle Book (1967): Many (perhaps most) viewers remember Baloo clearly singing in "Bare Necessities" the line "Wherever I'd wander, wherever I'd roam, I couldn't be fonder of my big home." Now, it sounds like he's singing "Wherever I'd wander, wherever I'd roam, I couldn't be found(?) of my big home". While the sing-a-long confirms the word is supposed to be "fonder", it's still odd he would pronounce it that way (especially if it's meant to rhyme with "wander"), and there are a lot of people who say they've watched the movie tons of times as a kid and remember him saying it the normal way. In The Jungle Book (2016), Baloo does say it the normal way, probably causing the confusion. A number of people also recall Baloo wearing a coconut-shell bra during his song and dance with King Louie. In fact, he does wear coconut shells over his snout (presumably to make him look more like a primate), but never wore a bra. |

Dr. McCoy's catchphrase in Star Trek: The Original Series is commonly remembered as "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a (fill in other occupation)". At no time did he ever say the words "dammit", which would not have been allowed by 1960s broadcast television standards. He did frequently state that he was a doctor, not a whatever. He did say "dammit" a few times in the movies, but never in conjunction with his catchphrase from the show. | |

Jurassic Park (1993): There's a longstanding rumor that one version of the film includes a shot of the T. rex's head crashing through the wall of the visitor's center during the climax. There's no evidence this ever existed, and in the comments for this video Steve Williams (who designed the T.rex animatronic) says no such shot was ever filmed. This is possibly conflating the T. rex coming out of nowhere in the visitor center and a previous scene of Rexy crashing through the car roof, or the fans in question having played the Sega Genesis video game adaptation where such a scene does happen, which might cause them to misremember it as being a setpiece recreated from the film. | |

Scary Movie: In one scene Shorty states "I see dead people" after getting high, a reference to the horror movie The Sixth Sense, released the previous year. However, many clearly remember him saying "I see white people" instead, which would be a racial joke. They may have been confusing with other instances of that very joke in popular culture: At the 2000 Academy Awards (which aired a few months before the release of Scary Movie), where The Sixth Sense had several nominations, host Billy Crystal said “I see white people� in the course of a routine where he tried to guess what various audience members were thinking, and he was looking at African American nominee (for his role in The Green Mile) Michael Clarke Duncan. In the 2002 film Undercover Brother (released two years after Scary Movie), the black title character says "I see white people" in reference to The Sixth Sense. |

Pokémon: Pikachu is often remembered with a black stripe at the end of its tail. This is likely because its ear tips are actually colored black, so people extend that to its tail. Muddying things even further is the Cosplay Pikachu introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which actually does have a black tip on its tail. Many players who started with Gen 1 (especially Yellow Version) misremember rock types as being immune to electric type attacks. Electric moves actually deal normal damage to rock types. The confusion is likely because most of the rock types encountered in Gen 1 were also ground type, which is immune to electric. One episode of the show also has Ash called out for not knowing that electrical attacks don't work on rock Pokemon (an error by the writers), which likely cemented the idea in fans' minds. Slugma and Magcargo made their debut in Pokémon Gold and Silver, but since they were a rare post game encounter in their debut generation but a relatively common early game Pokemon in Gen 3, many players mistakenly remember them as debuting in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It doesn't help that the line's debut episode in the English dub of the anime aired a mere four days before Ruby and Sapphire came out in America. Due to being a rare encounter in its debut game and not appearing in the English dub of the anime until after Ruby and Sapphire came out, Misdreavus is also sometimes mistaken for a gen 3 Pokemon, and occasionally even mistaken for generation 4, due to its evolution Mismagius being introduced in those games. |

Referenced by The Angry Video Game Nerd in his "Berenstain Bears" episode, where he insists he remembers that the Berenstain Bears were called the Berenstein Bears in his childhood. Then he encounters another version of himself stating in his universe, the Berenstain Bears are called the Berenstein Bears, leading to the revelation that the Nerd has been unknowingly jumping into different universes, unable to return to the one where the shitty games of his childhood were actually good. Additionally, James had the title of the video changed at random moments to evoke this effect on the viewers, who would go on to comment whether it was Berenstein or Berenstain. | |

The Bible: Many people remember a Bible verse saying that the "lion shall lie down with the lamb". This phrase doesn't appear in any translation of the Bible. The closest equivalent is Isaiah 11:6, which starts with "and the wolf shall dwell with the lamb". As the rest of the verse says "and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them". It's possible people are just getting the different animals mentioned in the verse mixed up, or confusing it with unrelated sayings like "lions led by lambs." | |

Many people seem to think at at the end of every cartoon, Porky says "That's all, folks!" while in the concentric circles, and indeed this is how many parodies (such as on The Fairly OddParents!) depict it. This never happened in the original shorts; in 1937 to 1946, Porky says the line while popping out of a drum (and only in shorts labelled as Looney Tunes, as opposed to Merrie Melodies). After that, the ending sequence was simply just a shot of the words "That's all, folks!" being written in cursive over the concentric circles. Likely, people were mixing the two up. | |

Forrest Gump There was the famous line "Life is like a box of chocolates." Or so it seems by most people. The line is actually "Life was like a box of chocolates," as he is quoting what his Mama used to say (and when Mama says it later in the film, she leaves off the "like"). However, it is hard to tell because of Forrest's thick accent, which is probably the cause of the misconception. At one point Gump is at a Black Panther Party rally and says "Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther Party". A lot of people remember him instead saying "Sorry I ruined your Black Panther Party", which would likely be funnier (the joke is that he thinks the Black Panther Party is like a birthday party or dance party, rather than a political party.) |

Peanuts: Some people remember Snoopy's tail being a thin black line rather than a white tail with a little black dot on it. They may be conflating him with Odie from Garfield, or Pluto from Mickey Mouse, who do have black tails. There was never a Peanuts character who always had a cloud over his head; that was Joe Btfsplk from Li'l Abner. Likely people conflated him with Pig-pen, who was always surrounded by clouds of dust. |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "I Was a Teenage Gary", people often misremember that there was a scene where Squidward transforms into a snail, and there was even a rumor that it was deleted after the first airing. There's no evidence of the scene ever existing, it wasn't shown in the initial airing, and the transformation itself has always been offscreen. This is likely the result of the wipe used after Squidward is injected with the snail plasma, which led to many assuming it was an edit to hide a removed scene. At the end of "The Secret Box" Spongebob finally convinces Patrick to let him look in the box and finds there's just a string inside. After he leaves, Patrick pulls the string and reveals that there's a secret compartment containing "an embarrassing snapshot of Spongebob at the Christmas Party", in what's a sort of Brick Joke, since there's a scene earlier where Spongebob is worrying outloud about what could be in the box and mentions that as a possibility. We don't actually see the photo, and instead just hear Patrick proclaim that's what it is. Some people clearly remember, however, that the episode originally ended with a POV shot of the photo, and claim they changed the ending at some point. |

Batman (1989): A good number of people remember that before the Joker starts killing people with the poisonous Laughing Gas at his parade, it's revealed that the money he threw at the people of Gotham is false, with his face on the bills. While the money is clearly fake, it just has a picture of a random guy on it (here is a picture of the 100 dollar bill prop used in the movie.) This is due to Joker's earlier line to Vicki when she asks him what he wants: "My face on the one dollar bill!" making everyone assume it's Foreshadowing and expecting a payoff to that setup at the parade, and when there wasn't, many filled the blank in their heads. To their credit, in the script the free money bills do turn out to have Joker's face, and the Comic-Book Adaptation also kept that reveal, thus further giving some fans the false memory that the film did it too. | |

Sonic X: Many fans think the English dub censored Maria's death to her being captured, despite it being an integral part of Shadow's backstory. In reality, while the show never uses words explicitly relating to death, it does all but outright say she was killed. This is likely a result of people exaggerating 4Kids Entertainment's notoriety for censoring their dubs, as well as confusion with Molly, who really did have her death censored. | |

In general, it's common to misremember characters being on one of the newer installment's rosters that have never actually been featured in the game, especially with the very character-heavy Tour and the crossover-happy Arcade GP.

Many people in Italy claim that they remember the "jelly donut" line scene from Pokémon: The Series being translated verbatim from the English version in the Italian dub. This is actually false: as back in 2000 donuts were virtually unknown in Italy, the dub further edited the dialogue in that episode to refer to the riceballs Ash and his friends were eating as generic "sweets", with a throwaway line claiming they're covered in coconut flakes to explain the white exterior. Also, since 2014 the first season of the show got a new dub where they actually referred to the riceballs as such, with the infamous "jelly donut" line being replaced with "salmon-filled riceball". | |

The famous condescending Wonka meme from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a shot of him reacting to this question, and although this answer would have been very in-character, he actually says "Would you like to see?" before starting the machine. After it's done, he's asked the question again, and this time says "Can't you see? It makes everlasting gobstoppers". | |

Warrior Cats: There are a few scenes where fans commonly remember or picture the setting incorrectly, to the point that even the official art later gets it wrong. For instance, despite common belief, it wasn't actually snowing when Bluestar journeyed through the forest with her kits to bring them to Oakheart in Bluestar's Prophecy, and even though The Darkest Hour takes place during the winter, the BloodClan battle is often depicted as leafy and green (including in flashbacks in the official manga). Many fans remember Firestar's final death in The Last Hope being due to lightning striking a tree, and said tree falling on him. He actually died due to his wounds, while at the same time a tree already fallen over was struck by lightning. This is likely due to fans either getting it mixed up with Mudclaw's death (which was due to being crushed by a lightning-struck tree) or one of Firestar's earlier lives (in which a tree fell on him, but no lightning was involved). |

Home Alone: "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from "The Nutcracker" is heavily associated with the first two films, despite not actually playing in either film. It is possible that the song playing in the Super Nintendo adaptation may have something to do with this. It does play in the 2021 sequel Home Sweet Home Alone, though. Similiarly, a lot of people think the first movie prominently features a threatening rendition of "Carol of the Bells", a song that is never played in the film. There is, however, an original piece of music (played when Kevin is on his way home from church, just before the climax) that sounds an awful lot like "Carol of the Bells", hence the confusion. A lot of people remember the film as being made by New Line Cinema. It was actually made by 20th Century Fox but the confusion may stem from the title card looking similar to the most well-known New Line Cinema production logo. |

Many fans of the American Girl Samantha series—due to misremembering books read as children—think that Samantha's impassioned speech about the dangers of child labor in factories from her second book Samantha Learns a Lesson was done in front of the factory owners themselves. It wasn't. It was part of a town wide essay contest and just presented in front of local townsfolk. There's no factories in Mt. Bedford either—the factory Nellie worked in is stated to be back in New York City, and the image of her working there is a flashback while she's telling Samantha about them. The movie has Samantha actually see the factory dangers when she comes to find Nellie (since her younger sister Bridget is ill), but her speech still isn't in front of any of the owners. | |

Looney Tunes: The title is often misremembered by many people as "Looney Toons" (as in, "cartoons") rather than musical "tunes" (in keeping with the theme set by Silly Symphonies and Merrie Melodies). The confusion is likely because of the symmetry with "Looney", because "tunes" and "toons" are homophonic in most dialects of American English, and because Tiny Toon Adventures (abbreviated as Tiny Toons) does spell it as "toons". Not helping is that younger audiences in subsequent decades weren't as much aware of Silly Symphonies or Merrie Melodies, so Looney Tunes sounded like a non-sequitur. Many people seem to think at at the end of every cartoon, Porky says "That's all, folks!" while in the concentric circles, and indeed this is how many parodies (such as on The Fairly OddParents!) depict it. This never happened in the original shorts; in 1937 to 1946, Porky says the line while popping out of a drum (and only in shorts labelled as Looney Tunes, as opposed to Merrie Melodies). After that, the ending sequence was simply just a shot of the words "That's all, folks!" being written in cursive over the concentric circles. Likely, people were mixing the two up. |

Lilo & Stitch: A lot of Fan Art shows that many fans of Stitch misremember his ear notches being near the tip of his left ear and near the base of his right ear. It's actually the other way around. Even Disney themselves make this mistake in some promotional material and merchandise, usually by flipping his image. This error has even extended to some of their own produced or licensed works such as Disney Sorcerer's Arena. Depending on the Artist, Stitch has been depicted with the ear notches in other spots (or sometimes without them at all), with round notches instead of his actual triangular ones, without the dark blue markings on the back of his ear tips, with a differently shaped or even colored back marking, with his aqua countershading missing between his lower lip and chin, with light blue pawpads instead of their proper dark blue ones, with only three toes on each foot instead of four, and so on. Some fans falsely remember Stitch calling his Love Interest Angel (Experiment 624) as his "boochiboo"; he actually pronounces it as "boojiboo". Lilo was the one who mispronounced it as "boochiboo" in The Series episode "Angel" (due to her not being a native speaker of Tantalog, the experiments' language). |

Everyone knows the famous hairstyle of the Bride of Frankenstein: a black frizzy beehive 'do with a white wavy streak symmetrically placed at each temple. Except, initially, contemporary advertising for the film depicted the Bride with red hair (something referenced by a costume of Magenta's in The Rocky Horror Picture Show) before pop culture at large and Universal themselves decided it was black. Much more subtle is the fact that on the wig Elsa Lanchester wore when originating the iconic look, the white streaks were asymmetrical, with the streak on her right being above her eyebrow, while the one on her left was below the brow above her ear, a detail most imitations and even official licensed merchandise of the Bride don't catch, with most seeming to assume the streaks were symmetrical all along due to that making more visual sensenote Some later merchandise, like the Monster High Skullector doll of her and some NECA figures, have gotten this detail right.. | |

Why this seems to be the case is mostly unknown, as the only other Son family member at the time would be Chi-Chi, who doesn't even know the technique, much less fight in the series proper. Some have stated there being a third child of Goku being present, even though that's impossible. (Goku's only kids are Gohan and Goten.) | |
