let's say you got some splatting to do
welcome to watch mojo and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
tv examples of the mandela effect
beam me up jesus
for this list we'll be going over some
of the notable examples of collective
false memories related to tv shows to be
clear we won't be including cartoons as
those have a list of their own if
there's something about a tv show you
could have sworn was different share
your conspiracies in the comments
number 10 a pity the fool the 18.
this 80s classic has a surprising number
of mandela effects attached to it
murdock here and crazy ba i pity the
fool while it was tempting to discuss
howling mad murdoch being misremembered
as mad dog murdock or the confusion
around the team's van color we're going
with the catchphrase that never was mr t
starred in the show as b.a barakas
that's for a little boy named joy
bring him out many seem to recall the
character using the phrase i pity the
fool and while mr t himself is known for
this catchphrase he never used it in
arguably his most famous role i'm
calling for a vote i say we take a vote
on this case do you pity the fools who
remember this wrongly or are you one of
us
them no i don't hate bad boy but i pity
the fool
number nine hi ho silver the lone ranger
the lone ranger
[Music]
while the lone ranger may have been
before the time of most of our viewers
and most of us too the general facts
about it have pervaded pop culture
away
a masked ranger fights for right with
his native american friend tanto and he
says hi ho silver when he rides his
horse
except that cat phrase may not be the
same as most remember it what he's
actually saying is high yo silver the
difference is subtle which is probably
why so many misremember it
plus hi-ho seems way more common than
high yo just ask the seven dwarves
[Music]
number eight sex in the city sex and the
city hey i need a favor oh you do
actually it's for the city of new york
the famous tv series and later films
about a group of women in their often
sexual escapades in new york sex and the
city has caused some confusion there are
some who will swear that its title used
to be sex in the city rather than and
these shoes how's a woman supposed to
walk in these things
i blame sex in the city for this
the most likely explanation is that
people tend to slur the word and to just
end like when people say ben and jerry's
do you want to make appletinis and watch
sex in the city at my place however
there are still people who insist that
they've seen the title printed to read
as sex in the city no
you don't talk to me that way
we'd write it off as bad eyesight from a
night with carrie and the girls if there
weren't so many eyes involved
number seven
judy's gavel judge judy
judge judith scheinlin presided over her
reality tv show based courtroom for over
two decades well i don't have it you
want to get it for me um
i'm just not an answer i believe i can i
believe i can a staple of daytime
television judge judy was watched or at
least famous among millions of people
but one aspect of her show that reality
seems to have ruled against is her use
of a gavel oxygen did you hear this my
sister has never done anything
watch this entire life i don't want to
use it
while it is true that judy occasionally
used one early on during her show's run
and in some promotional photos by and
large throughout her show's time on tv
she didn't use one so has someone
altered reality now here's an ad about a
fat people disease you have
or do people just associate a gavel with
judges and therefore one of the most
famous judges will leave it up to the
jury to determine guilt or innocence
number six holy relevant phrase batman
batman
let's get one thing clear burt ward's
robin does have a catchphrase where he
says holy insert relevant yet bizarre in
or out of context phrase here
you're not misremembering that holy
haberdashery that can't be regulation
prison uniform can it one half of the
caped crusaders somehow managed to turn
the oddest part of his and batman's
adventures into an exclamation holy
cinema skull but one thing all these
ridiculous outbursts have in common is
that robin almost never says batman at
the end he does rarely yes
but not usually holy bargain basement's
batman when other people do the gag it's
understandable why they add the batman
it makes it clear they're doing a
reference
yet if somehow memories or the world
have been changed we know who'd recall
to solve the case holy conspiracy this
is a tricky one all right
careful
number five fonzie's jacket happy days
arthur the fawns fonzarelli is a pop
culture icon and of course everyone
knows his deal he's your typical greaser
with slicked back hair a black leather
jacket and he says hey
but many find themselves doing a double
take when they look at his jacket now
it's not black but rather dark brown oh
boy
you must think i'm pretty stupid granted
it's a darker color so that may account
for the discrepancy in people's memories
they might also be conflating the fonz's
look with other famous greaser
characters like danny zuko from grease
no matter his wardrobe though the fonz
is still the fonz i like to warm up a
little bit okay so i'm gonna be right
back as soon as i finish warming up okay
[Applause]
number four yeah science breaking
bad
as one of the most acclaimed and popular
tv shows of the 21st century so far
breaking bad has inspired plenty of
catchphrases and memes i am not in
danger skyler i am the danger jesse
pinkman's famous phrase
yeah science is actually only one
of the latter although many mistake it
for being a catchphrase of his too yeah
magnets oh while jesse is indeed famous
for favoring the derogatory word for a
female canine he doesn't use it along
with his famous line about science
instead he says so you do have a plan
yeah mr white
yes science a famous meme macro has
combined jesse's actual catchphrase with
this scene so it's no wonder people got
this one mixed up
number three lucy you've got some
splainin to do
i love lucy
i love lucy is one of the most
influential tv shows of the 20th century
it basically codified a lot of the
tropes of sitcoms and was watched by
millions ricky ricky i want to talk to
you about something lucy's husband ricky
is well known for saying the phrase lucy
you got some splaining to do whenever
his wife got up to her usual shenanigans
so what is all this
lucy splain however while he does say
splain and variations thereof in the
show he never says this phrase exactly
he better do some splaining before i
mash up some face guacamole
there are plenty of parodies of the show
which use this misquoted catchphrase but
surely with how widely viewed the show
was there would be more consensus about
it can someone explain this to us
now please don't make me explain it to
you again number two a beautiful day in
the neighborhood mr rogers neighborhood
oh this one hits right in the childhood
mr fred rogers entertained generations
of children on his program mr rogers
neighborhood he would begin every show
by singing the song won't you be my
neighbor however the lyrics of that song
are not what most people remember them
as it's a beautiful day in this
neighborhood a beautiful day for a
neighbor would you be mine the song does
not begin with the line it's a beautiful
day in the neighborhood but rather this
neighborhood
not the this is arguably a completely
different meaning for the song it's a
beautiful day in this neighborhood a
beautiful day for a neighbor
would you be mine and it's rather odd
that not only parodies of the song got
it wrong but also the title of the
biopic from a few years ago and the sign
in roger's own hometown
are we living in a world of make-believe
it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
a beautiful day
would you be mine
could you be mine

number one beam me up scotty star trek
we're beaming up notified transporter
room the star trek franchise has a whole
quadrant full of things people never
picked up on like picard fiddling with a
crystal on his desk a lot but much more
shocking is the fact that the phrase
being me up scotty is never said once in
the entire original star trek series or
on screen at all for that matter prepare
to be me aborted my signal there are a
few times where characters come close
but this exact phrase despite its fame
is entirely a fan invention
although
james duhan scotty's actor did write an
autobiography with this title leave me
aboard energize could there have been
some sort of transporter accident we all
know how pesky those can be
