Ah, I see you've come here to learn more about Self-Demonstrating Article and- hang on? It's seems we've taken a wrong turn at- nevermind that, why don't you indulge yourself with the fun facts below. Named for a frequent setup gag in Bugs Bunny cartoons, Wrong Turn at Albuquerque describes a single wrong or missed turn in a journey that will inevitably land the traveler in a place far divorced from their original goal. The plot then unfolds in one of three ways: Comedy: The traveler encounters many wacky mishaps and quaint natives during their efforts to get back on track. Drama: The traveler encounters survival situations like finding food and shelter, or else dealing with increasingly limited resources while trying to avoid being eaten by predators or angering local peoples. See Deadly Road Trip. Horror: The traveler finds themself being actively hunted down by some menace (natural or supernatural), not necessarily because of anything the traveler themself has done, but just because It's What I Do. Or alternatively, the traveler ends up in the Dark World. The gag originates from the fact that Route 66 (opened in 1926) actually intersects itself in the middle of downtown Albuquerque, meaning you could stand on the corner of Route 66 and Route 66note Specifically, the route was changed in 1937, with the old alignment intersecting the new alignment. resulting in a lot of people getting turned around and taking the wrong turn. Can be caused by Road-Sign Reversal, Your Other Left, Short Cuts Make Long Delays, No Sense of Direction, or trying to follow overly complicated directions. When done in a science-fiction setting, it's Teleportation Misfire. Frequently the way to enter a Dark World or Down the Rabbit Hole. Once the traveler gets in, they may not be able to get back out, thanks to it being a Closed Circle. In a case of Technology Marches On, things like GPS navigation and smartphones tend to make this trope less common in modern times, since now its fairly easy to have a digital map that can tell you exactly where you are, and prevent you from making any wrong turns that can send you dozens if not hundreds of miles off course until you realize your error. |

Looney Tunes: The Trope Namer: Bugs Bunny frequently missed "da left toin at Alba-coiky" while traveling via wormsign, an event that has landed him in, variously, a Mexican bullfight, the Roman Coliseum, Antarctica, Australia, the American Civil War, the Wild West, medieval Europe, Scotland, the Southern United States in the middle of a clan feud, the Black Forest during WWII (which, interestingly enough, was the first time it was said), Ali Baba's treasure cave, the Himalayas, and even an opera or two. Can be seen on a YouTube video. "Herr Meets Hare": The first cartoon in which he said this, after accidentally digging to the Black Forest in Germany. "Hare-abian Nights": a sort of Clip Show short directed by Ken Harris, has Bugs declaring that he should have taken "dat left toin at Dess Moins." "Napoleon Bunny-Part": Bugs pops up in Napoleon's headquarters, and credits it to a "wrong turn off the Hollywood freeway." "Transylvania 6-5000": Bugs is headed to Pittsburgh, and he ends up in Pittsburghe, Transylvania. "Ali Baba Bunny": Bugs and Daffy Duck are tunneling towards a vacation at Pismo Beach, only to wind up in Ali Baba's treasure cave. In DC's Looney Tunes comic book, one issue's storyline centered on the apparent disappearance of Bugs, with Daffy as the investigating detective. The last page of the book shows Bugs relaxing on a distant beach, surrounded by attractive female rabbits. In the last frame of the story, he informs the reader, "I finally made that left turn at Albuquerque." In the made-for-TV cartoon "Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court", Bugs is en route to the Georgia Peanut Festival, only to find himself in Camelot (which he initially thinks is Pittsburgh). Following the obligatory left-turn-at-Albuquerque line, and a brief encounter with a dragon, Bugs declares, "Never again, never never again do I take travel hints from Ray Bradbury! Him and his shortcuts." In a Cartoon Network short "You have questions, that's... understandable", one of the old headscratchers the short ponders is "what if Bugs Bunny took the RIGHT turn at Albuquerque". It shows an impatient Daffy and Elmer Fudd standing at a rabbit hole, and nothing happens. Since it's canon that Bugs lives in Los Angeles, and in most of these he asks directions to the Co-a-chella Valley, he's really lost anyway to be anywhere near Albuquerque. He's off by a factor of Arizona. (In fact, if he starts in Los Angeles and goes anywhere near Albuquerque, then he's already gone past Coachella Valley.) In the Looney Tunes/DC Comics crossover comic (the one where Elmer Fudd tries to kill Batman... yes, that happened, and it was surprisingly well-regarded at that!), Bugs and Elmer meet up at a bar, and Bugs wonders if he took a wrong turn at Albuquerque again. Elmer notes that this seems to happen a lot, and both admit they've never actually visited Albuquerque. |

Fraggle Rock: In one episode, Red is taking part in a big race called the All-Day Cross-Cave Beanbarrow Race Finals, with Lanford, Mokey's sentient plant, as her partner. But Clinging Creepers, which wrap around their victims to ensnare them, have been seen by Table Rock Cavern. They can only be repelled by the smell of fresh flowers, so the Bouquet Brigades have made floral headbands for everyone. During the race, Red's failure to listen to Lanford's directions results in her making a wrong turn and ending up at Table Rock Cavern. Too late, she realizes her headband is gone (it had been snagged by a spring vine) and that the Clinging Creepers are slithering toward her. | |

Cars: Lightning McQueen's excursion at Radiator Springs pretty much entirely results from taking a wrong turn on Route 66. Also applies to Minny and Van, the couple of lost tourists. |

Dimensional Links: Realm often gets lost in the desert and ends up in completely incomprehensible places. Notable feats include getting from a mountain range to a desert with no mountains in sight to an island on the other side of the country, getting lost in a straight hallway, managing to get onto the roof of Hyrule Castle (a feat that requires bending the laws of physics to accomplish normally) and getting from a library to the top of a volcano normally only accessible by an impassable cave. It's actually one of his main gimmicks, and is touched on in his Hyrule's arc in the rework. It turns out that his magic is so uncontrolled it randomly teleports him whenever he tries to get somewhere. | |

In Jurassic Park, Nedry, who is trying to get to the island dock to get on the last ship during a typhoon, crashes into the sign at the fork in the road marking the path. When he picks it up, the arrow is pointing uselessly upward. He takes the fork to the right. (Freeze-Frame Bonus, the correct path was to the left.) | |

In one of the deleted scenes in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, it's revealed that Del, while driving from St. Louis to Chicago, overshot his destination by a hundred miles and wound up in Wisconsin. In the finished film, it's still implied by the police officer's uniform, his cruiser's livery, and the fact that Del and Neil ultimately hitchhike to Chicago in a dairy truck (Wisconsin being known for its dairy farms). | |
