A popular comedy trope: Someone references a famous invention or work of art and credits it to the wrong creator or inventor. Usually done to showcase the ignorance of the character. In morality tales, this can lead to an actual explanation of the referenced person's actual achievements. Not to be confused with Plagiarism or Taking the Heat. Wrongfully Attributed only occurs when a character, a group, or the general public has a wrong perception about who did the actual deed. Compare with Mistaken Identity. Also happens a lot in Real Life as a result of misconceptions or confusing associations. A deed is attributed to a more famous person associated with the concept instead of the actual creator. For instance, Henry Ford is often called "the inventor of the car", which he wasn't; he merely industrialized automobile production on a mass scale. When you hear a classical music piece and have to guess the composer, it's easier to assume it's Mozart or Beethoven. Sometimes a person is wrongfully credited for a certain deed because his name, image, or style is somewhat similar to another creator. You can hardly blame someone for confusing Theodore Roosevelt with Franklin D. Roosevelt, for example. Some famous quotes are actually misquotations. See Beam Me Up, Scotty!. Some styles are so similar to a certain work of art that they can be confused for being a sequel, made by the same authors, or related in a certain way. See Spiritual Successor. Compare Historical Character Confusion, which can overlap. In cases of songs, see Misattributed Song. For facetious attributions to Kong Fuzi, see Confucian Confusion. When adding examples, explain what exactly is being wrongfully attributed. Examples |

On Gilmore Girls, there are several of these: In the last season, after Lorelai has "serenaded" Luke with the Karaoke song "I Will Always Love You", the whole town is talking about it. Luke's dippy sister Liz urges him to respond to Lorelai, saying: "It's a classic love song! It's classic Cindy Lauper!" Luke replies: "Whitney Houston!" Liz: "Whatever!" when the song is actually by Dolly Parton. (However, being super-music-geeks, the writers make sure to name-check Dolly Parton when Lorelai goes on stage to sing the song: Lane says to Rory: "I didn't know your mother was a Whitney Houston fan", and Rory replies, "I think it's Dolly-inspired, actually". And Lorelai does sing the song more in Dolly Parton's rhythm and emphasis.) Lorelai's mother makes a Beatles-reference, and her husband berates her: "Emily! Two of the Beatles are dead!". Emily says: No, only one is dead. Richard: "Nooo, another one died recently." Lorelai says to them: "Guys, could you hit the pause button on this conversation, because I'd really like Rory to hear the end of it.". Later, Rory asks Lorelai what outcome they landed on, and Lorelai responds: "Well, they decided that John and Keith are dead, Paul and Bingo are still alive." When Lane Kim has to move out of home, her cousin Christine helps her pack, when it is revealed that Christine, seemingly shy and quiet in front of their mothers, lives just as much of a 2nd-Gen-double life as Lane, hiding her rock music interests from her family. She rambles on about bands and albums, asking: "Should I get a Led Zeppelin CD? I should get Three, right, Three has "Stairway to Heaven" on it." Later, Lane turns around and snaps at her: "Listen, kid, I'm not your Yoda, alright? And "Stairway to Heaven" is on Four, not Three! When it comes to classic rock, know it, don't blow it!". At the Gilmore's Friday night dinner, their house is part of an architectural tour, so they have tourists going through the house while the Gilmore family is eating. Richard is getting irate at all the people traipsing through the house, using the piano, etc. At one point, the tour guide lady is voice-over-heard saying: "The house was built in 1906 by [some architect, can't remember the name, let's say: 'Sterling']". Richard slams his napkin down, jumps up and goes off-screen to confront the tour guide, saying: "That's it. The house was built in 1907, and it was a protege of 'Sterling's'!!". Lorelai helps Luke host a birthday party for Luke's daughter. She's trying to chat with two girls there, who are talking about watching a girl on MTV (no idea what the name was). Lorelai says: "Oh her, yes, cool, I really love her music." One of the girls replies, in a snarky "d'oh" way: "She's a VJ, actually?" and Lorelai says: "Yes, you didn't let me finish. I meant, I really love her music - video - introductions!" and then lamely shimmies away, knowing she's been exposed as OVER the hill. I know that feeling. |

The Simpsons: Homer does this a lot: In "Bart the Genius", Homer confuses Albert Einstein with Thomas Edison: "Einstein probably changed himself into all sorts of colors before he invented the light bulb." In "They Saved Lisa's Brain", Homer confuses Stephen Hawking with Larry Flynt, presumably because they are both wheelchair patients. After meeting Prime Minister Tony Blair in "The Regina Monologues", Homer mistakes him for Mr. Bean. In "Homer the Great", Moe says the following about Homer: "He's gone mad with power. Like that Albert Schweitzer guy." (Moe probably meant the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who did go mad near the end of his life, though not with power. Or it might be a reference to Adolf Hitler, if we remain in the German sounding names department.) In "Marge vs. the Monorail", Mayor Quimby introduces Leonard Nimoy (of Star Trek fame) by saying the Star Wars phrase: "May the force be with you!" Nimoy asks if Quimby knows who he is, to which Quimby answers: "Weren't you one of The Little Rascals?" In "Marge In Chains", Lisa compares Lionel Hutz to lawyer Clarence Darrow, whereupon Hutz asks: "Was he the black guy on The Mod Squad?", confusing Darrow with actor Clarence Williams III. In "Yokel Chords" Krusty thinks Stephen Sondheim was the one who wrote Cats. A Real Life example: while the episode "Bart to the Future" did indeed mention that Donald Trump would be elected President of the United States, it did not include a clip of Trump announcing his presidential campaign in a manner similar to how he would do so in real life. Those clips came from the YouTube short "Trumptastic Voyage", which came out a month after his campaign launch. |

Many people assume that any horror film made in Britain in the sixties or seventies must be Hammer Horror. Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and And Now the Screaming Starts! are by Amicus Productions, and Curse of the Crimson Altar, The Blood Beast Terror, Witchfinder General, The Blood on Satan's Claw, and The Creeping Flesh, are by Tigon British Film Productions. | |

In early Homestuck, there is a running gag about the narrator quoting things and then attributing it to the wrong source. They start out plausible enough if you don't know your literature, but quickly turn ridiculous, e.g., when "Drop It Like It's Hot" is sourced to "English romantic poet John Keats". Later Subverted when the frequent quotes attributed to actor Charles Dutton are actually correctly attributed in-universe. Later done in-universe when a line from one of the characters is wrongfully attributed to Cherub Shakespeare. | |

Contrary to what most people believe, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was not the first fully-animated feature film. There were at least two other produced in Argentina (now lost) and The Adventures of Prince Achmed in Germany before then. This much is certain: Snow White is the first produced in the United States, the first in color and the first made by a studio instead of a single individual. | |

A Fish Called Wanda (and Spiritual Successor Fierce Creatures) only features John Cleese and Michael Palin.

A number of cantatas used to illustrate why Johann Sebastian Bach was a superior composer to his contemporary Georg Philipp Telemann turned out to have been composed by none other than Telemann. Bach had liked them enough to copy out the entire scores by hand for his own use. In a similar twist, many organ works by Bach, who is mentioned as superior to Vivaldi, are actually reductions of several Vivaldi concertos, most famously the concerto for 2 violins in A minor. |

The art for Mugen Souls is very often falsely attributed to Takehito Harada, even on this very wiki. It's actually Kei Nanameda, though Harada did design one character, Selfina. While the general aesthetic of the designs is pretty similar, there are quite a few differences, most obviously in coloring. Harada uses more subdued colors and subtle shading, while Nanameda's colors are loud, bright, and saturated, with an almost plastic-y texture. Although the eyes are drawn somewhat similarly, any fan of Harada will notice the facial proportions don't match his style. | |

Haibane Renmei is very often falsely credited as being directed by Chiaki Konaka. Although he and series creator and character designer Yoshitoshi ABe are known for collaborating, that wasn't the case for Haibane Renmei. For the record, the series was directed by Tomokazu Tokoro, yet to this day many people still falsely list it as being one of Konaka's works. | |

"Moo" Niitani didn't create Puyo Puyo. That would be Kazunari Yonemitsu, the man also responsible for Sting Entertainment. | |

In L.A. Story, Steve Martin's character routinely attributes all sorts of quotes to Shakespeare, describing his versions of them as "paraphrases". | |

A plot point in the metafictional horror movie Madhouse (1974), with the in-universe Dr. Death series of horror films. Most people attribute to creation of the Dr. Death character strictly to star Paul Toombes (Vincent Price), ignorant of the fact that the character was a collaborative creation with Paul's friend and co-writer Herbert Flay (Peter Cushing), whose own actor career has stagnated while Paul has become a cult celebrity. | |

Captain SNES: The Game Masta: Alex tries to reassure a giant sandworm (which he thinks is a Shai-Halud) that he's got no problem with scientology. Alex (and the author) confused L. Ron Hubbard with Frank Herbert. | |

In Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Wonka opens a musical lock with a brief tune. Mrs. Teevee smugly says, "Rachmaninoff." It's actually Mozart. | |

John Stump's "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" is widely believed to be an arrangement of COOL&CREATE's arrangement of "U.N. Owen Was Her?" Considering the fact that "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" sounds nothing like U.N. Owen Was Her? or any of its arrangements, this is especially odd. Even when corrected, this still doesn't stop people insisting that John Stump arranged a COOL&CREATE (or, in some cases, ZUN) track. | |

Family Guy: In the episode "Brian Wallows While Peter Swallows" Brian sings about Neil Armstrong, whereupon Meg confuses him with Louis Armstrong: "Was he the trumpet guy?" Played for laughs when Brian fought to change the name of James Woods High School to Martin Luther King Jr. Peter mistakes King for Martin Landau, Martin Lawrence, Dean Martin, Martini and Rossi, Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, and Tom Berenger. |

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: Discussed after a sketch about Voltaire, who dies in a Freak Philosophy Accident brought on by his supposedly saying "I oppose what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Simon Kane ends the sketch, after having been kicked out previously for not providing an exaggerated French accent, to tell John that Voltaire never actually said it. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): In "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil", Lestat de Lioncourt mistakenly ascribes Johann Sebastian Bach ("...the man had 20 children in his lifetime") as the composer of the "Minuet in G Minor" piano piece that he's performing onstage at the Azalea; it was in fact written by Christian Petzold. | |

Disney's Steamboat Willie (1928) is often called Mickey Mouse's debut. This is wrong, it was actually his third cartoon, but his first cartoon with sound. The film also holds the honor of being the first sound cartoon, which is again not entirely true. There were earlier experiments, but not as perfect as Disney's. | |
