ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) | comment |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED is a YouTube "story time" channel. It features stories featuring teenage protagonists telling of extraordinary things that have happened to them.The videos are reportedly real stories; however, it's near universally agreed that most are heavily fictionalized if not outright fake, often due to the videos having extremely implausible or nonsensical things happen within them. Many are sensational and oftentimes the titles and/or thumbnails can be inaccurate. On June 8th, 2020 all of the videos on their channel have been made private, possibly because of said accusations and ridicule from other creators on the platform.Compare to My Story Animated. | |

The Gambling Addict | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_11630eaa | comment |
The Gambling Addict: Iris in "My Brother Died And I Went On A Quest To Find His Illegitimate Son" is a problem gambler who blows huge amounts of money playing the slot machines, and ends up deep in debt as a result. Roy tries to justify it by saying it's because she grew up poor and desperately wants a better life for herself, but Francine doesn't find that convincing. Even worse is Emma's father from "My Dad Brought A New Woman Home While My Mom Was At The Hospital", who loses huge amounts of money at poker games, and eventually wagers and loses his family's house. | |

Raised by Grandparents | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_27af99f1 | comment |
Raised by Grandparents: Joshua from "I Was Asked To Babysit An Unknown Boy. Turned Out He Was My Half-brother" was raised by his maternal grandparents for the first five years of his life, since neither of his biological parents wanted anything to do with him. Then his grandfather unexpectedly died, forcing his grandmother to ask Joshua's father for help. Rachel from "My Mom Left Me With A Strange Woman And Disappeared" spent much of her early life being raised by her grandmother. What Peter was kinda hoping his grandmother would do from "I Betrayed The Brother Who Raised Me After Our Parents Died" only for this get subverted. To the grandmother's credit, she does stay around long enough to help the brothers with their parents funeral arrangements and collecting the life insurance policy, before ultimately leaving the 2 brothers to their own devices so she can return to her home in France. | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_2d7ef923 | comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: In "My Dad Cheats On His Wife With My Mom! I'm Confused", Alex assumes her father is cheating on his second wife Mildred with his ex-wife, her mom. She assumes this because she saw his car at her mom's house even though he said he was going back to his office, and because her mom said she'd unexpectedly fallen in love with somebody. As it turns out, Alex's dad just wanted to surprise his pregnant wife with some hand-me-downs from Alex to give to their daughter. Meanwhile, Alex's mom had fallen in love with one of her coworkers. Joana from "I Found My Dad's Insta With His Secret Job Pics" suspects her dad might be unfaithful, especially after she finds a pink blouse in his gym bag. But when she brings this up to her mom, she discovers that the blouse is his; turns out, her dad got a new job as a professional dancer, and he sometimes performs in drag. Played with in "My Family Is Totally Nuts! I Have One Dad And Three Moms". While Lisa's mother really is seeing her husband's relative Roberta, it turns out she and her husband have a polyamorous lifestyle, and he has a girlfriend too. | |

Vocal Dissonance: Sometimes, there's a bit of a disconnect between character design and voice acting. For example, there are multiple cases of people who are depicted as white but sound black. | |

Took a Level in Kindness: Happens in "My Mom Taught Me To Manipulate Men For Money". Narrator Samantha's mother was a manipulative, misandristic quasi-gold digger who raised her daughter to be the same way. Then Samantha starts dating a boy named Timothy, genuinely falling in love with him and growing out of her ways because of it. After that, her mom starts dating Timothy's dad, and goes through the same change. Natalie's mother in "I Was Asked To Babysit An Unknown Boy. Turned Out He Was My Half-brother" starts out very mean to Natalie's half-brother Joshua because he's a walking reminder of her husband's infidelity. But after a while, she realizes that it's not his fault he was born as a result of her husband's affair, and makes an effort to treat him better and not take her anger out on him. | |

While they initially seem to have passed the test, they refuse to pay for her ticket fare at the movies, even though she'd paid for theirs many times before. Only Lea proves she cares about her as a person. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Many of these stories end like this. For example: "I Made My Mom Choose Me Or My Stepdad. She Chose Him!" ends with Anthony getting the short end of the stick as he was sent to military school by his mother and stepfather. However, in his opinion, military school is far better as Anthony would rather be sent to the other side of the country than stay at home and deal with his antagonistic family.note One comment even says that by the time Anthony graduates from military school, he will become a well-disciplined and well-respected soldier while his mom will eventually regret sending her own son away due to her blind love for her new husband and his stepdad will eventually be disgraced and kicked out of the military for sending Anthony to military school against his will. "My Life with HIV" has Brad stating that while the virus is not easily removed, the best he could do is make the most out of his life, with the help of his volleyball coach, his friends, his family, and some antiretroviral therapy. By the end of the video, Brad ends up marrying a woman and having an HIV-negative baby girl with her. "My Pet Rat Disappeared And I Am Afraid To Know Why" ends with Scott losing his pet rat Strudel when his brother drowned the poor rat in a toilet. Although Scott is saddened by the loss, his love for Strudel never left him as he could feel the rat's presence within the walls of his house. Chris stated in "My Brother Or Dad Will Go To Jail And I Must Choose Who" that even though his dad ended up imprisoned for something Bruce did, it is for the best since his dad wanted Bruce to take care of Chris for his sake, something he failed to do ever since his wife (Chris and Bruce's mom) died. | |

Spoiler Title: In "My Mom is Gay", the fact that Lenny's mother is in love with another woman is treated as a big reveal, even though the title makes it clear that she's attracted to other women. While the exact details of the twist in "I Found A Letter In The Attic. It Was From My Biological Mother" note Evelyn's father had previously been married to a woman named Alice, who died about two months after her daughter was born due to suffering some complications after labor, and Evelyn's father hired a nanny to help raise her, only for him and said nanny to fall in love and get married, resulting in her becoming Evelyn's stepmother aren't revealed until about halfway through the video, the fact that Evelyn's biological mother is a different person from the woman who helped raise her is spoiled by the title. The fact that Lisa and her mom Melissa are actually her dad Tom's second family (rather than the first, as they initially assumed after learning that Tom had another family in New Jersey) is treated like a major twist... even though the video's title is "My Dad Has Two Families... And We Are Not The First One!" In "My BF's Little Brother Turned Out To Be His Son", Irene's discovery that the boy she assumed was Andrew's younger brother was actually his son is portrayed as a shocking revelation, but the title made it clear from the start that this was the case. | |

Moreover, since Patrick's mother was very stressed out by her husband's death and the complications that resulted while she was pregnant, Patrick's little brother is born with some medical issues that put further strain on their finances. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Mike from "My Fear Of Spiders Nearly Got Me Into Big Trouble" struggles with arachnophobia, but has started working on overcoming it after his fear nearly caused a car accident. Susan from "I Got Stuck 200 Ft High From Ground" is terrified of heights to the point of being afraid to go too high on the swings. Needless to say, getting stuck at the top of a Ferris wheel is an incredibly scary experience for her, but the incident inspires her to try to get over her fear. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation: Invoked as an In-Universe example in "My Brother Died And I Went On A Quest To Find His Illegitimate Son". Francine admits she isn't sure if Iris let her son be raised by his paternal grandparents because she wanted the money they offered or because she realized raising him would be too difficult for her. While she is obsessed with getting rich quick, the fact that she hesitated and asked if they would love her son lends considerable weight to the latter option. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: In "My Dad And I Were Watched By CIA", the focus is on Joe's father becoming increasingly paranoid and unhinged. He starts out a bit wary of being spied on, but over time becomes increasingly convinced that people are out to get him, and eventually takes his son with him to live off the grid in an old hunting lodge in the woods. Later on, he runs from the police, certain the government is going to do some terrible things to him. Kitty from "My Sister Hid Under My Bed On My First Wedding Night" goes increasingly crazy after her younger sister Page moves in, and her downward spiral only accelerates after her husband Karl divorces her. By the end, she's devolved into full-blown schizophrenia, having deluded herself into believing she's still married to Karl and that Page's children are her own. | |

Replacement Goldfish: "My Mom Is Looking For New Parents For Me Because She Will Die Soon" sees Phoebe talk to a couple named Mr. and Mrs. Rogers whose daughter Libby died (the cause is implied to be a House Fire) and are thinking about adopting her after her mother passes on. They seem like an ideal adoptive family, but then they ask if Phoebe would change her name to Libby, and Phoebe's mother quickly ends the interview. In "My Mad Dad Calls Me "Son". I'm A Girl!", Roberta's father had her in the hopes of replacing his dead son. | |

When You Coming Home, Dad?: Subverted in "I Scare My Mom: She Is Afraid Of Kids". Andrew was told by his grandma that his mother couldn't be a part of his life due to her working extremely hard. Then, when Andrew has to live with her, it turns out that this isn't entirely true: his mother is very dedicated to her job... but she's a painter and works from home. In reality, she didn't raise him due to her pedophobia. | |

For her part, Christine doesn't think there's anything wrong with a girl choosing the lifestyle her parents champion, but justifiably doesn't like being pressured into adopting it. | |

Wicked Stepmother: In I'm A Slave Of My Stepmother, the stepmother Julia asks Lucy do chores and babysit for her. In My Stepmother Hated Me So I Had To Move Out, Monica's stepmother is jealous of her and makes the entire family turn against her. Monica eventually moves in with her grandparents. Downplayed with Lola from "My Dad Went To Las Vegas And Came Back Married". She's not actively cruel to her stepchildren and doesn't seem to have any real hostility towards them, but she still proves too self-centered and irresponsible to be a good mother to them. The last straw comes when she fails to make sure her stepdaughter has enough food and rest. | |

Strong Family Resemblance: When Emily from "I Was Switched At Birth With Another Baby" meets her parents' biological daughter, she sees that the other girl not only looks like a younger version of her mom, but also has similar mannerisms and even waves at people in the same way — despite having been raised by a different family. Emily, meanwhile, finds that she's extremely similar to her biological father (though her complete lack of athleticism comes from her biological mom). Evelyn's maternal grandfather from "I Found A Letter In The Attic. It Was From My Biological Mother" says Evelyn looks a lot like her bio-mom Alice. | |

Shout-Out: The Joker (more specifically, Heath Ledger's take on the character) briefly appears in "My Dad Cheats On His Wife With My Mom! I'm Confused". In addition to the aforementioned Sherlock Homage, "I Found A Letter In The Attic. It Was From My Biological Mother" has Evelyn's best friend Joshua doing the "Gendo pose" at one point. In "I Was Asked To Babysit An Unknown Boy. Turned Out He Was My Half-brother", Joshua has toys of Chick Hicks, Fluttershy and EVA Unit-01.

Iris in "My Brother Died And I Went On A Quest To Find His Illegitimate Son" is a problem gambler who blows huge amounts of money playing the slot machines, and ends up deep in debt as a result. Roy tries to justify it by saying it's because she grew up poor and desperately wants a better life for herself, but Francine doesn't find that convincing. | |

Awkward!" sees Rachel's mom pressure her into taking a Daddy DNA Test to prove that Doug is her biological father so she can have more leverage in the divorce proceedings. But the test proves the opposite: that Rachel's mother was wrong and the man who raised her (Rachel) really did father her. This revelations seriously hurts the mom's standing in the case. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Samantha's mother in "My Mom Taught Me To Manipulate Men For Money" normally gets passive-aggressive when she's upset at somebody. So when she hears from her mom's coworkers that she (the mom) had been openly argumentative for most of the day, she realizes something's not quite right and starts getting really worried about why she hasn't come home from work yet. In "My Mom Uses Her Illness To Keep Dad Away From His Lover. Bad Plan", Lianne walks in on her mom, who normally doesn't express her emotions very strongly, crying in the laundry room. This is an early indicator that there's something very wrong. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
ACTUALLY HAPPENED (Web Animation) / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: "My Friend Died Like A Hero" implies the titular friend committed some kind of Heroic Sacrifice. In reality, David died of cancer (though he did Face Death with Dignity). "I Nearly Killed My Cruel Stepsister" is also a fairly dishonest title. While Amanda does get violent with her stepsister Rose at one point, there's nothing even remotely lethal about what she did to her. "My Ex WENT BERSERK At My Wedding. I Had To Call The Police" ends with Frank and Bridget still unmarried (though they're engaged and will be married soon), and he hasn't called the police on his ex-girlfriend Sandra. One video is titled "My Parents Are Super Rich But I Starve". While Alex's parents are certainly tough on him and don't indulge him as much as he might like, there's no indication that his material needs aren't being met. Lisa from "I Hid Mom's Death From My Sister For YEARS" actually only kept her mom's death a secret from her younger sister Hannah for about six months. That's certainly a long time, but not as long as the title says she did. The couple who picks up Sarah in "I Lived In The Street And Got Picked Up By A Creepy Couple" isn't "creepy" at all. On the contrary, they're very kind to her. One video is titled "My Stepmother Cut All My Hair So That I Never Go Out Of Home". While the Traumatic Haircut does happen in the video, it's not the main focus as the title implies. Moreover, it's not just Martha's stepmother Lorraine who cuts her hair (her stepsister Stella also does it), and she still went outside after it. | |

Accidental Murder: Narrowly avoided in "I Baked A Poisoned Cake For My Stepmother's Birthday". Molly decided to improve her relationship with her stepmother Regina by baking her a birthday cake, and added some dragon fruit as a topping. Unfortunately, nobody knew at the time that Regina was seriously allergic to dragonfruit. If Regina hadn't gotten to the hospital when she did, she probably would've died. | |

Ephebophile: Subverted with Mr. Maccabee in "My Teacher Gives Me A+ For Our Special Relationships". It initially seems like he's attracted to high school-age narrator April, and he even starts pawing at her hair at one point. But it turns out he used to date her mom and suspects he might be her biological father. When he was stroking her hair, he was trying to get a sample of her DNA. | |
