I was sure that either in the pilot or the first episode of Seinfeld as Jerry walks into his apartment for the first time Pail Reiser was walking out but when I see it in reruns I haven’t seen it. I also thought that the first few times you see “The Fonz” in Happy Days he’s not wearing a leather jacket at all. I haven’t watched any reruns of that show but it’s never mentioned when people speak about him.
At 7:35 Derogatory word for female canine.... You mean that is a derogatory word for a human female. It is the proper term for a female canine.... I'm certain you just made a mistake, but that does make you sound weird....
In Full House originally Stephanie was sick and asked for Water, Dj is with the he guys and one of them gives her a glass of water and she complains it is from the bathroom. Later,- she is given water and she says that yep, it is definitely from The Kitchen. NOW, Stephanie has been replaced by Michelle!
@B Jones In The Betrayal episode of Seinfeld it flashes back to Jerry and Kramer first Meeting. Therefore you are replacing Paul Buckman with Kramer in your memory by combining that scene with the scene in Mad about You we're it is revealed that Paul is giving up his Bachelor Pad to Kramer as a single boet because Jamie Buckman- his wife won't let him keep the apartment! DUH!
*THIS video was the worst Mojo video ever. Especially for this topic. Slight nuances in phraseology or "rare" occurrences of what happen as opposed to never ever happening at all does NOT qualify for the Mandela effect! (whatever a "Mandela" is)*
@@rra7490 The Mandela effect is a false memory. It was coined when Nelson Mandela died in 2013. Thousands of people remembered seeing on the news that he had died in the 1980’s. If it happened only once, it’s not the Mandela effect. A few of these are bad examples.
I dunno…are some of these just not Mandela effect worthy? Some of these we remember cause it actually happened in the show. Just because it only happened a handful of times doesn’t really count as remembering something incorrectly.
Agreed, am I am old enough to to remember watching the Lone Ranger on a Black and white tv. Plus Fonzie jacket at the beginning of the show wasn’t a leather jacket either. ✌️
As for the Fonz, black and white televisions were a thing for longer than you'd think. My family used one until the early 1990s. Most dark colors look black on the thing, especially if you have to increase the contrast in the picture.
And crappy color TV's too. Believe it or not, we didn't just throw out our electronics back then. We used that stuff for 20 or 30 years. The tubes would age and the colors would slowly shift, and we wouldn't even notice for long amounts of time. Then when something actually did stop working, we would take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. I know that's a strange concept in the throw-away society of today.
@Nick Varville, you nailed it on the head! Many people in the 1970s still had B&W TVs in their homes, so what else could they assume BUT Fonzie having a leather jacket in BLACK. Once people bought Color TVs (usually in response to Cable TV coming into their area -- which was as late as the early 1990s), they finally saw the brown leather jacket in old reruns.
Happy Days the jacket did appear black on most TV's back then (1974-1984) cause the colors were pretty horrible on those old tv's. The orange booths also looked red on older tv's.
@@big8dog887 I remember when I was young (1985ish) we got a 20 inch TV, which with inflation would have cost around $1200. Now you can get a 65 inch 4K TV for that kind of money.
@@maurer3d I love watching Price is Right reruns and seeing how the cars were cheap and the home electronics were super expensive. As a kid in the 70s-early 80s, we had a black and white tv, it was a treat to visit the grandparents, they had color.
@@NightMan77 You have just summed up what the Mandella effect is. Mis-remembering and troll videos of photoshopped images. There never was a cereal named Fruit Loops. That is from a photoshop troll video creating the confusion on purpose. 99.99% of the ME is a fraud.
In a recent research project that i have completed on this topic it was concluded that a slight majority of female canines also did not feel comfortable with the use of this word.
Okay, I'm only halfway through, but some of these strike me as disingenuous. For instance, the Robin commentary and the Judge Judy gavel. They did do those things. Just not consistently throughout the show, but recalling them from the show is not "Mandela effect". It's associating something memorable from a few episodes as opposed to the entirety of the series. Now, "Mr. T" and "Sex and The City" - totally legit.
The Judge Judy is kinda a Mandela effect in that the gavel was extensively used in The People's Court and people's memories have incorrectly associated it with Judge Judy.
The fonz jacket cause of TVs not being as good...I remember watching a lot of shows/movies and getting color details wrong cause picture quality was bad. Like Freddy's sweater being black/red, and not it's actual red/green
The weird part about Fonzie is he wore a brown windbreaker or red in the first episodes and Henry Winkler was in the 50s nostalgia movie on the 70s Lords of Flatbush where he played basically the Fonz and DID wear a black leather jacket
In the early seasons the network refused to let Winkler in a leather jacket because they thought was too youth gang leader, hence the windbreakers. Marshall said he needed a leather jacket for motorcycle riding safety and thats why in early seasons of his leather jacket they make excuses for his bike to be in the shot.
Fonzie's jacket in the first two seasons was a blue jacket unless he was on his motorcycle. This changed when the show went from film to live audience.
The "I Love Lucy" one got me. I grew up watching I Love Lucy. Literally since I was an infant. My grandpa and my mom were/are obsessed with the show so I was basically raised on it. I named my dog Lucy because of it. The "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do" line has been quoted by every member in my family for as long as I can remember. I even use it on my dog when she gets into mischief. My brain cannot register that it was never a thing
It was used by Eddie Murphy in his stand-up. The one phrase I always heard about Cary Grant was, "Judy, Judy, Judy" but I don't know where it came from and I have since learned he never used it.
No no no no. Having seen every episode at least 5x, he would say "splainin" and she would mock his bad English bad back at him by repeating it incorrectly but he never said "Lucy, you got some splainin' to do," as a catch phrase...unless it happened ONCE in one episode that way. But not multiple times.
My sister and myself remember it as well! But get this, she remembers his name as "Arnaz" and I firmly remember "Arnez" I never saw Arnaz until about 2015 or 16!
@@judethaddeus9856 Do you know what "vernacular" means? It means using a noun as a verb to abbreviate an event! "Gaveling the defendant" was an expression used quite often in the early days of television courtroom dramas!
Do you even know what the mandala effect is? You literally just said judge Judy using a gavel is a mandala effect but you showed us a video of judge Judy using the gavel. It was literally a commercial where she slammed the gavel at the end and that's why everybody remembers. That's not a Mandela effect that's called a fact
Agreed, they even said at the beginning she used it in earlier episodes. Most of the other ones were shows that I didn’t watch, so I have no idea what is correct or not. But, how can you trust this video if one is so clearly wrong.
It was Billy Crystal that played Ricky and said 'splainin'. You people can't even remember the correct ethnicty. SHeesh! Eddie played Mr. Robinson's Hood a satire of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
The Mandela effect is when something that actually was a certain way but suddenly it inexplicably changes as if that change was always the case such as the most famous ones related to a popular children's book series about bears. My personal experience with the Mandela effect is when a glass had shattered when I was a kid and for years it was gone but then suddenly out of nowhere with no explanation it's just suddenly back like it was always there. The Mandela effect is closely tied to the concept of the multiverse, not one thing in this video is an example of the Mandela effect.
@@dennismokry258 that was was budget and no room for him in the script. 😉 I remember hearing Mandela dieing in prison from Kurt Loader on MTV News and I've run into people that remember hearing it on the news too.
I remember the chief of police in national television saying, quite shook up, that he had given the Weiner laptop to the FBI. He said, (paraphrased, as I don't remember exact wording), that there were videos on it concerning children that were so terrible that he could hardly watch them. He said that if the FBI didn't do something about them that the NYPD would. Then we never heard about them again, like it never took place.
Holy gaslighting, Batman! You are seriously going to tell us we didn’t experience something (Judge Judy using the gavel, Robin saying Batman at the end of his catchphrase) while actually showing us clips of those things happening?! That’s a bold move and says a whole lot about your view of your audience’s intelligence!
Do they have a movie version of this video where they correct "Play it again, Sam" from Casablanca? There are plenty of them. The napalm line from Apocalypse Now, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall" "Do you feel lucky, Punk?" "Luke, I am your father." "If you build it, they will come."... From "I'm king of the World!" all the way back to "You dirty Rat" we've been misquoting the most famous lines.
The Fonz will always be the coolest. Mrs. Cunningham (Mrs. C) was the only one that got away with calling Fonzie by his first name Arthur. She was like a mom to him.👍
She was probably compensating for the loss of her oldest child, Richie's older brother. He appeared in some episodes in season one, the n he was just gone.
It's not the Mandela effect if it actually happeened..did Judge Judy use a gevel? Yes..just because she didn't use it all the time doesn't make it a mendela effect..same with the Robin phrase.. did he use it everytime? No...did he use it..yes...so it's not Mandela as it happened.
That’s exactly it. Misheard and/or misremembered. A great example is the Berenstain Bears: Berenstain is an extremely uncommon name. Berenstein makes much more sense and the brain just makes sure that that’s how it’s remembered. Then, when the actual spelling is pointed out, all of sudden you’ve somehow portaled to a parallel universe.
@@edwardcricchio6106 No Way you say ???? Edward Let me enlighten you to a few things 1. The entire world is not comprised of "AMERICA" ok. Believe it or not we have other continents Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia There is life outside of the united states 2. Now Let's discuss those life forms for a second. Me, I personally had Black and White TV and it wasn't until 1976 (in Sydney) that we got Technicolor (Colour TV) Now you also need to understand that not everyone was rich enough to actually buy a colour TV at the time it's sort of like Buying a 4K TV when everyone is buying HD TV's so you see , even though things were being aired in Technicolour , You would still watch it in Black and White 3. Things happen at different points in time around the world, an example would be a new movie release so again...... the world is not America and shit does actually happen at different points in time around the world and it is even possible today for a person to own a black and white TV and be watching todays HD TV in Black and White I KNOW THIS TO BE A FACT BECAUSE I'M IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY AND I'M AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL and as such it is also completely possible for a person to have been watching black and white TV since 1970 and to this day , Granted they would be likely in their 60s but hey it's totally possible and therefore this person would not know the true colour of Fonzie's jacket so don't be too quick to say NO WAY Because the world is bigger than America and sometimes things drag on i mean, i still know people that use Windows XP Hell i know a few businesses that still use MS DOS You need to expand your mind a bit and consider possibilities beyond what you think is real
@@martinkuliza First of all sir, the American Broadcasting Co. aired this television sit-com in the 1970s. It was filmed in color and was shown in color across the States. By that time, the majority of the people living in the United States, not the rest of the world, had access to color television. I'm sorry if I offended those of you who didn't live in the US then or now. Your comments were unnecessary because they were not directed at you or any other person who wasn't living in the US.
Fonzie's jacket in the first two seasons was a blue jacket unless he was on his motorcycle. This changed when the show went from film to live audience.
#10: Nice timing as yesterday was Mr. T’s birthday. 👍 #5: I thought the Fonz’s jacket was black myself. 😀 #1: I figured (and am glad) “Beam me up, Scotty.” was #1. 🖖. In William Shatner’s Star Trek novel “The Ashes of Eden”, he had Captain James T. Kirk actually utter that one in full.
Lol in the movie "Batman Forever", there's a scene where Robin shouts "Holey rusted metal, Batman!" Batman looks at him confused and Robin says "The ground! It's all metal and full of holes, ya know!? _HOLEY!_ "
@@PrinceTrexus Yes, you're right. And it's an example of how a big budget movie, gave a shout out to the old T.V. show, and perpetuated the myth. They knew exactly what they were doing, and that's what made it funny.
I don’t remember fonzy having a black jacket but when I was a kid in the 80s I had a black and white tv so when I would see the show in color I remember being surprised that it wasn’t black. Also color tvs weren’t as clear as they are now, even flat screens from 10/15 years ago weren’t as crisp and HD as they are now. In 2019 I was visiting a family member in the hospital and the 70s Willy wonka was on, I was amazed at how crisp the picture was, all the little details and the color. So watching older shows and movies on newer technology can make things appear different than we remember.
Ayyyyyy, y'all gotta be around my age, 55!🤣 Mandela Effect....it does have to do with age obviously because every different age group remembers it differently or there's a slight difference the closer within the age. (I've been testing out this Mandela Effect Theory here lately 😂) Love these videos! Keep it up guys, keep us talking and wondering, keep it real! 😅😂😉❤️✌️
"Beem me up, Scotty" exists for the same reason "Luke, I am your father" exists, it was a way for the person saying it to make the person hearing know it was a quote. Instead of an awkward confusion and trying to explain it, the name makes it obvious it's a quote.
TPTB thought he’d look like a hoodlum in a leather jacket, so he could only wear it when he was working on or standing by his bike. So many times the Fonz was beside or on the bike in the beginning! 🤣
I am 50 years old and i remember hearing about the "beam me up Scotty" thing way back when I was in high school over 30 years ago. A friend had a trivia game and the was one of the trivia questions. And I was still surprised to hear it , even back then.
A lot of the Mandela Effect is simply explained as people adding a word so people know where the phrase is coming from. The most famous, and a good example, is "Luke, I am your father!" If you were just to say, "I am your father!" people would be confused as to what the reference is and might think its a reference to Maury Povich, or not even realize it is a reference at all. Other things like the Ateam van or Fonz's jacket is simply due to colors being so close. Or maybe they watched on a crap TV with the contrast or brightness messed up.
There was a short lived cartoon called Fonz and the Happy Days Gang. The animated font wore what I'm guessing was supposed to be a black leather jacket (though it was more of a dark grey) There's also a few promo images of him in a black leather jacket, as well as some in B&W that made it look black, so this probably had an effect, along with people not having colour TVs
One big one not mentioned here is from Kindergarten Cop. Most people quote Arnold to saying, “It’s not a brain tumor!” In fact he never said “brain” he just says “It’s not a tumor!”
A lot of these lines come from sketch comedy at the time. They were simplified versions of the popular lines or lines invented to quickly remind the audience of the source.
5:53 Well back in the 70s not everyone had a color television set, but had black and white sets. On those sets Fonzie's jacket would appear to be black easily.
I remember regurgitating Star Treks infamous line in the early '80's, just a bit different! I grew up in the '70's watching Star Trek! When someone who was being stupid I'd say " Beam me up Jimmy (Jim Beam), there are no intelligent drunks down here"! In Honeymooners, Ralph was saying "One of these days Alice" :"Bang, Zoom, to the Moon" or "You're a Riot Alice, a real riot" or "Pow! Right in the kisser"! While I have numerous downloaded videos of the Honeymooners, I've yet to hear "ANY" of these phrases in any episode! Fonzie's jacket Was black! 👍🥃🥃🥃
The Fonz also had for a brief time in the late 70s a black T-shirt and he later revealed the reason why was because he had gained a significant amount of weight and it was a way to hide his new paunch
We need to stop calling everything we misremember the Mandela Effect. "It's spelled Berenstein Bears." "That's the Mandela Effect! It's Berenstain Bears! No, you didn't misremember. It's the Mandela Effect."
In the 1960s Sci Fi/Fantasy show "Lost In Space", The Robot never said the exact phrase "Danger, Danger Will Robinson!" The closest our mechanical friend ever got to it, was in a Season 3 episode called "The Deadliest Of The Species" where The Robot tells the young astronaut "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!"
I think instead of some "Mandela Effect" we should acknowledge that many of us haven't watched or read the actual source material. But we hear the jokes and see the memes that contain errors and we repeat those errors, only to be surprised later when we finally encounter the actual source. Sarah Palin never said "I can see Russia from my house."
i pitty the fool was main phrase in the a team coming from mr t.... he got it in 1982 in rocky but it went into the later years of the a team too, without it mr t is nothing... ofc it was in ateam, just not in your sad timeline
Most of these phrases were just short-hand so people who talked about it around the water cooler, or stand-up comedians, or whatever, knew what you were talking about. That's why Batman is added to it, or "Luke" is added to the line "I am your father." No, ST didn't verbatim say "Beam me up Scotty" but if you said it to your friends, or strangers for that matter, they knew what you were talking about as opposed to just saying "beam me aboard." People used "I pity the fool" *anytime* Mr. T was brought up, and he was talked about A LOT in the 80s because of A-Team.
Another one I run into a lot comes from the 50s TV show "Adventures of Superman." Many people believe that "everytime" Superman gets shot at with a gun the criminal will end up throwing the gun at Superman and he ducks to avoid being hit by the gun. The irony being he can handle bullets bouncing off his chest but has to avoid being hit by the gun. However, the truth is this only happens ONCE throughout the entire series, not everytime he is shot at.
I believe Fonzie's jacket was black in the first few episodes but was changed to brown to make him seem less threatening to young viewers and to keep his character more wholesome!
No one ever had the colour set right on their tv, so I'm not surprised the Fonz' jacket looked Black Most people were sort of orange on my parents' set
Speak for yourself. I was a Broadcast Engineer, and our color TV had an excellent picture. Especially, after I installed a top of the line CRT into it. in the early '70s. I still have that set, and it had a great image until the day that TV went digital. Many people bought the cheapest TVs they could find, so many color TVs had low quality CRTS. They were typically the 23 EGP22 which was crap. About 10% bought the best that they could find. which often contained a 'Black Matrix' CRT with newly developed color phosphers.
@@indiansfaninpa Round screen RCA designed color TVs were available, starting in the '50s. Motorola introduced the first solid state color TV in the mid '60s, under the Quasar name. My family bought one of the first to hit our town. It had a tube for the high voltage, and the picture tube, but everything else was transistors. Once a solid sate HV rectifier hit the market, Motorola witched ti those.
@@michaelterrell I didn't say color TVs weren't available in the early '70s. My point was, they weren't in every home, and even households that had a color TV didn't have one in every room.
@@indiansfaninpa Who needed them in every room? From the time that I turned 13, I always had a TV of my own. I orked in a TV shop, so at times I had over 50 of them in our detached garage.
The thing with Fonzie's jacket could be down to the TVs people had in the 70's and 80's. Back then there was no high definition or HDR colours. So his jacket may well have looked black back when Happy Days was originally broadcast.
Captain Pugwash was an animated series on BBC TV in the 50's & 60's. Some of the characters' names were Tom the Cabin Boy, Master Mate and Willy. In the 1990's, the show's creator John Ryan successfully sued the Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian newspapers for claiming the characters were called 'suggestive names' such as 'Master Bate', 'Roger the Cabin Boy' and 'Seaman Staines'. The claims were completely untrue, but that doesn't stop people of a certain age insisting they remember giggling at the double entendres as they watched the shows. Once again, it's pointless arguing with these people, they are convinced.
I think the problem with the Fonz even in this video there where scenes where it looks black, but when he moved to a different location in the same scene it is brown. Think the lighting and the way you look at certain aspects shows it to be a different color. Now that we have HD TV it is easier to see the actual color compared to back when it first came out. So calling it a Mandela Effect is kind of pushing it considering the way people now days see the show compared to back then.
The premise of the show is “sex and the city of New York”. So I never understood how or why people says “sex in the city”. Especially when it’s abbreviated as SATC. How would you get “in” out of SATC?
I think people mixed up the series Sex AND the City with another 90s series that aired around the same time Caroline IN the City, which ran from 1995-1999 on NBC.
I don't care what anyone says... Mr Rogers is one of my fondest memories from childhood and it's.. THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I've been singing this song well over 35yrs,.. AND I remember singing it and watching it with my kids.
That's my recollection is well, but like that Fonz's jacket appearing to be black we misheard it due to the poor quality of the TV sets we watched it on.
Yeah, that's like finding out that the real lyrics to Sesame Street are "Can you tell me how to go, how to go to Sesame Street" We all sang it a million times, and know the lyrics are "get to Sesame Street". Those songs were ingrained in our developing little brains for years!!
@@LionsDenAudioTheatre Not quite. The texts of the Sherlock Holmes stories never specifically mention a deerstalker cap or an Inverness cape coat, but Holmes sometimes wore a "close-fitting cloth cap" and wore an "ankle-length cape coat." Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the stories, illustrated those articles of dress (only when mentioned) as a deerstalker cap and an Inverness cape coat. As for Sherlock Holmes's pipes, he used three: cherry wood, briar, and an "oily clay pipe," all of which Paget illustrated as having straight stems. The calabash pipe originated with American stage actor William Gillette, who thought that a curved-stemmed pipe made it easier to deliver his lines with a pipe in his mouth.
regarding #8, I think people conflated Sex AND the City with another 1990s TV series, Caroline IN the City, which aired on NBC from 1995-1999. CITC aired around the same time as SATC's first two seasons. CITC was part of NBC's popular Must-See TV Thursday night block of programming which included Friends and Seinfeld
The Fonz jacket one might be due to poor color quality/contrast in late '70s early '80s television set. One lousy setting on one of those old thing and the jacket WILL appear black to some cuz it's really a very dark shade of brown.
Or, we adjusted the tv so that it looked black. Remember, we didn't have to navigate through any menus back then. We just walked over, flipped open the panel, and turned the little knobs. I think our tv had 3 or 4. Color, Contrast, Brightness, and Hue. And, since we all thought that Fonzie's jacket was black...

The first time I ever heard "Beam me up, Scotty" was on David Letterman. Early on, Dave had a continuing bit with characters named (let's say) Frank and Fred. The bit was illustrated with clever illustrations on cards that Dave, sitting at his desk, would hold up to the camera. Frank always behaved well and Fred didn't. One time we saw Frank getting married, everybody in their proper place in the church, and all going well. Then we saw Fred as the groom in the same place, freaking out with popping eyeballs and so on. Dave supplied the dialog "Beam me up, Scotty!" That was the first time I'd ever heard the phrase outside of Trek.
As far as Fonzie's jacket goes most people didn't have the greatest television reception back in the day so dark brown would easily look black... And this whole Mandela effect thing comes down to how people I have different perspectives and memories....
Didn't Judge Wapner always use his gavel? I think our memories run together, especially when some of the things we remember are between 30 and 60 years ago.

The Fonz jacket is easily explainable due to the fact the IQ of the series when a lot of us saw it in the 70s/80s was very poor. I always thought it was black until I saw a remaster of it.
I remember in the movie "Unforgiven" the book Beauchamp wrote, "The Duke of Death", was spelled as "Duk of Death" onscreen. Hence the duck joke in the movie. Does anyone else remember this?

you are correct, most of the people here have no clue they are too young, this timeline does not have him saying this in the series but the quality one does, the phrase came in 1982 right before ateam aired during rocky 3 and was used in the ateam too for years later, do not interact too much with this timeline individuals, i know you have no choice but it is different kind to yours, this one is ai dominated, stay safe
Some of these would be considered phrases with refrences...like batman. You say beam me up....Scotty, because not everyone would get the reference without using the name of the person who always ran the transport. Jesse in Breaking Bad was more of an add-on since he used "Bitsh" all the time in any given conversation. As he got excited about using science which he finally understood. Happy Days...ive always seen a dark brown leather jacket...I have only seen 2 prints where a black jacket was used, and the prints confused grease, and The outsiders greaser looks with the Fonz's look. I love Lucy would be considered a refrenceing phrase as well, since some people do a horrible accent, some people may not get the reference unless you add "Lucy" to the phrase. Some notable mentions....Ed McMahan publishers clearing house, Foleys and JC penny.
Some are definitely just false memories, but then there are some that are like wow, that can't be right. It's an interesting thing even if it's just remembering things wrong.
I'm glad they didn't bring up the 1979 007 movie Moonraker in which DOLLY HAD BRACES! Anyone who saw the movie in the theater in 1979 will tell you that. As to why all the video recordings show her without the braces, that is a yet unsolved mystery.
Unsolved mystery 😂 A film in which she doesn't need braces, has nothing to do with the plotline is an unsolved mystery. Oh wait a minute. He's got metal teeth so therefore he'll only be attracted to someone wearing braces. It is a mystery isn't it.

Play ‘As Time Goes By.’” Then, Sam said “You played it for her, you can play it for me! …. If she can stand it, I can! Play it!” But NOBODY says “Play it again, Sam.”
One mind bender is the "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" theme. Later on (2012), the same people who produced the original show (Fred Rogers Productions), produced an animated spinoff, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood." All though that show had the SAME theme song as the original, Daniel Tiger sang it as "the neighborhood." SO, even Mr. Rogers' own company got it wrong.
Um, sure, high quality broadcasts of old Happy Days episodes show that the jacket is brown, not black. But if you watched it on a 70s TV from radio signals an hour away from the transmitter, it looked black.
The actual phrase in the Star Trek series was actually "Beam me up, Mr Scott" and I'm not actually sure how many times Captain Kirk actually said that, probably only one time.
I think people misremember the Star Trek line because it was referenced in a popular rap song by EPMD that way: "It's like beam me up Scotty. I control your body. I'm as deadly as AIDS when it's time to rock a party." (Strictly Business title track)

I was sure that either in the pilot or the first episode of Seinfeld as Jerry walks into his apartment for the first time Pail Reiser was walking out but when I see it in reruns I haven’t seen it. I also thought that the first few times you see “The Fonz” in Happy Days he’s not wearing a leather jacket at all. I haven’t watched any reruns of that show but it’s never mentioned when people speak about him.

Derogatory word for female canine....
You mean that is a derogatory word for a human female. It is the proper term for a female canine.... I'm certain you just made a mistake, but that does make you sound weird....
In Full House originally Stephanie was sick and asked for Water, Dj is with the he guys and one of them gives her a glass of water and she complains it is from the bathroom. Later,- she is given water and she says that yep, it is definitely from The Kitchen.
NOW, Stephanie has been replaced by Michelle!
@B Jones
In The Betrayal episode of Seinfeld it flashes back to Jerry and Kramer first Meeting. Therefore you are replacing Paul Buckman with Kramer in your memory by combining that scene with the scene in Mad about You we're it is revealed that Paul is giving up his Bachelor Pad to Kramer as a single boet because Jamie Buckman- his wife won't let him keep the apartment! DUH!
*THIS video was the worst Mojo video ever. Especially for this topic. Slight nuances in phraseology or "rare" occurrences of what happen as opposed to never ever happening at all does NOT qualify for the Mandela effect! (whatever a "Mandela" is)*
Judge Judy’s gavel and Robin’s catchphrase don’t count as instances of the Mandela effect if they actually occurred.
That's what I was thinking.
Kyle Wiggins Art: exactly!
Most of these don't. A LOT of hair splitting in this video
It counts since it was only a few instances.
@@rra7490 The Mandela effect is a false memory. It was coined when Nelson Mandela died in 2013. Thousands of people remembered seeing on the news that he had died in the 1980’s. If it happened only once, it’s not the Mandela effect. A few of these are bad examples.
I dunno…are some of these just not Mandela effect worthy? Some of these we remember cause it actually happened in the show. Just because it only happened a handful of times doesn’t really count as remembering something incorrectly.
Ya I agree
Bullshit list
I was thinking the same thing.
Agreed, am I am old enough to to remember watching the Lone Ranger on a Black and white tv.
Plus Fonzie jacket at the beginning of the show wasn’t a leather jacket either. ✌️
@@iriejane3099 I used to have an old Lone Ranger board game and it in fact said "Hi Yo Silver" on the box. so thats one atleast the video got right
As for the Fonz, black and white televisions were a thing for longer than you'd think. My family used one until the early 1990s. Most dark colors look black on the thing, especially if you have to increase the contrast in the picture.
Same, we still had a black and white set in our home until 1993… we had colour TV’s but we still had the old black and white set
Mine too 🤓
And crappy color TV's too. Believe it or not, we didn't just throw out our electronics back then. We used that stuff for 20 or 30 years. The tubes would age and the colors would slowly shift, and we wouldn't even notice for long amounts of time. Then when something actually did stop working, we would take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. I know that's a strange concept in the throw-away society of today.
Your dad still has a 8 track player in his car too
@Nick Varville, you nailed it on the head! Many people in the 1970s still had B&W TVs in their homes, so what else could they assume BUT Fonzie having a leather jacket in BLACK. Once people bought Color TVs (usually in response to Cable TV coming into their area -- which was as late as the early 1990s), they finally saw the brown leather jacket in old reruns.
Happy Days the jacket did appear black on most TV's back then (1974-1984) cause the colors were pretty horrible on those old tv's. The orange booths also looked red on older tv's.
Also, many people still didn't have color TVs yet (maybe not a majority, but a pretty sizable minority, color TVs were expensive).
I'm surprised they didn't even mention his windbreaker he wore part of the time in the first season.
@@big8dog887 I remember when I was young (1985ish) we got a 20 inch TV, which with inflation would have cost around $1200. Now you can get a 65 inch 4K TV for that kind of money.
@@maurer3d I love watching Price is Right reruns and seeing how the cars were cheap and the home electronics were super expensive. As a kid in the 70s-early 80s, we had a black and white tv, it was a treat to visit the grandparents, they had color.
@@maurer3d Got our first colour TV in 1978. Seeing the Incredible Hulk being green has stayed with me since!
I never thought B.A. from The A-Team said that on the show. I've always remembered it from Rocky 3
I love it when a memory comes together.
I said the exact same thing as they were showing that part. Not a Mandela effect at all. Just a matter of mixing up what character said the line.
@@NightMan77 You have just summed up what the Mandella effect is. Mis-remembering and troll videos of photoshopped images. There never was a cereal named Fruit Loops. That is from a photoshop troll video creating the confusion on purpose. 99.99% of the ME is a fraud.
He never say it in Rocky, so that makes no sense. He mostly said it in commercials!
@@MrParkerman6 Yes, he did. The scene where he was getting interviewed
“Bitch” is NOT a derogatory word for a female canine. It’s the technical term for a female canine. It’s a derogatory word for a female person
It’s also derogatory to male persons. They usually have even bigger reactions
In a recent research project that i have completed on this topic it was concluded that a slight majority of female canines also did not feel comfortable with the use of this word.
Alternate Title: 10 Things that Happened But Not In Every Episode
Can't wait for: "South Park never actually said "They killed Kenny!"
Okay, I'm only halfway through, but some of these strike me as disingenuous. For instance, the Robin commentary and the Judge Judy gavel. They did do those things. Just not consistently throughout the show, but recalling them from the show is not "Mandela effect". It's associating something memorable from a few episodes as opposed to the entirety of the series.
Now, "Mr. T" and "Sex and The City" - totally legit.
Okay. I'll admit the the two examples I had above we're pretty much the only examples through the rest of it. The rest of the ones do qualify. :-)
@@jeffrconner they are still fine examples my man.
The Judge Judy is kinda a Mandela effect in that the gavel was extensively used in The People's Court and people's memories have incorrectly associated it with Judge Judy.
They didn't even mention poor Lambchop😂🤷🏼♂️
Mr. T doesn't qualify, as it was HIS catchphrase
The fonz jacket cause of TVs not being as good...I remember watching a lot of shows/movies and getting color details wrong cause picture quality was bad. Like Freddy's sweater being black/red, and not it's actual red/green
The weird part about Fonzie is he wore a brown windbreaker or red in the first episodes and Henry Winkler was in the 50s nostalgia movie on the 70s Lords of Flatbush where he played basically the Fonz and DID wear a black leather jacket
Henry Winkler, in an interview, mentioned he originally modeled Fonzi on one of his Lords of Flatbush costars - Sylvester Stallone.
In the early seasons the network refused to let Winkler in a leather jacket because they thought was too youth gang leader, hence the windbreakers. Marshall said he needed a leather jacket for motorcycle riding safety and thats why in early seasons of his leather jacket they make excuses for his bike to be in the shot.
Pretty sure Jesse did the same with his catchphrase, he said it outside the show I believe
The Windbreakers he wore were light gray or blue.
Fonzie's jacket in the first two seasons was a blue jacket unless he was on his motorcycle. This changed when the show went from film to live audience.
The "I Love Lucy" one got me. I grew up watching I Love Lucy. Literally since I was an infant. My grandpa and my mom were/are obsessed with the show so I was basically raised on it. I named my dog Lucy because of it. The "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do" line has been quoted by every member in my family for as long as I can remember. I even use it on my dog when she gets into mischief. My brain cannot register that it was never a thing
Matthew Perry said it in Fools Rush In.
It was used by Eddie Murphy in his stand-up. The one phrase I always heard about Cary Grant was, "Judy, Judy, Judy" but I don't know where it came from and I have since learned he never used it.
It was from Billy Crystal's SNL reoccurring skit of Ricky Ricardo. He is the one that started using 'splainin' since it was much funnier sounding.
No no no no. Having seen every episode at least 5x, he would say "splainin" and she would mock his bad English bad back at him by repeating it incorrectly but he never said "Lucy, you got some splainin' to do," as a catch phrase...unless it happened ONCE in one episode that way. But not multiple times.
My sister and myself remember it as well! But get this, she remembers his name as "Arnaz" and I firmly remember "Arnez" I never saw Arnaz until about 2015 or 16!
"Judy never used her gavel"
Shows her using her gavel to CLOSE a session!
Perhaps he SHOULD have said: "Never gaveled anyone on her show".
You don’t « gavel » someone.. perhaps you should learn grammar before you correct someone?
@@judethaddeus9856 Do you know what "vernacular" means?
It means using a noun as a verb to abbreviate an event!
"Gaveling the defendant" was an expression used quite often in the early days of television courtroom dramas!
@@judethaddeus9856 Perhaps you should research TV pop culture before you come off looking like a Sheldon.
Do you even know what the mandala effect is? You literally just said judge Judy using a gavel is a mandala effect but you showed us a video of judge Judy using the gavel. It was literally a commercial where she slammed the gavel at the end and that's why everybody remembers. That's not a Mandela effect that's called a fact
Surprised you didn't say it was literally a fact.
Haha
I remember it being called the MandELa effect. Weird.
Agreed, they even said at the beginning she used it in earlier episodes. Most of the other ones were shows that I didn’t watch, so I have no idea what is correct or not. But, how can you trust this video if one is so clearly wrong.
Eddie Murphy did the "Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do" in his standup routine back in the late 80s. That's probably where it comes from.
He always said "Beam me up Scotty" or. "Two to beam up"!
Yes, its not Desi Arnez.
Its Eddie Murphy *doing* Desi Arnez.
It was Billy Crystal that played Ricky and said 'splainin'.
You people can't even remember the correct ethnicty. SHeesh!
Eddie played Mr. Robinson's Hood a satire of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
@@billkeithchannel That was Fernando Lamas(?)
And it was fa sure Eddie Murphy in "Delirious".
I remember Will Smith used it on Fresh Prince once too when Carlton signed his name on something as Ricky Ricardo
The Mandela effect is when something that actually was a certain way but suddenly it inexplicably changes as if that change was always the case such as the most famous ones related to a popular children's book series about bears. My personal experience with the Mandela effect is when a glass had shattered when I was a kid and for years it was gone but then suddenly out of nowhere with no explanation it's just suddenly back like it was always there. The Mandela effect is closely tied to the concept of the multiverse, not one thing in this video is an example of the Mandela effect.
How about Chuck Cunningham??
@@dennismokry258 that was was budget and no room for him in the script. 😉 I remember hearing Mandela dieing in prison from Kurt Loader on MTV News and I've run into people that remember hearing it on the news too.
I remember the chief of police in national television saying, quite shook up, that he had given the Weiner laptop to the FBI. He said, (paraphrased, as I don't remember exact wording), that there were videos on it concerning children that were so terrible that he could hardly watch them. He said that if the FBI didn't do something about them that the NYPD would.
Then we never heard about them again, like it never took place.
I'm sure Mandela died in prison too it wasn't until he died again I was like wtf he has already died.....
Holy gaslighting, Batman!
You are seriously going to tell us we didn’t experience something (Judge Judy using the gavel, Robin saying Batman at the end of his catchphrase) while actually showing us clips of those things happening?! That’s a bold move and says a whole lot about your view of your audience’s intelligence!
Do they have a movie version of this video where they correct "Play it again, Sam" from Casablanca? There are plenty of them. The napalm line from Apocalypse Now, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall" "Do you feel lucky, Punk?" "Luke, I am your father." "If you build it, they will come."... From "I'm king of the World!" all the way back to "You dirty Rat" we've been misquoting the most famous lines.
The Fonz will always be the coolest. Mrs. Cunningham (Mrs. C) was the only one that got away with calling Fonzie by his first name Arthur. She was like a mom to him.👍
She was probably compensating for the loss of her oldest child, Richie's older brother. He appeared in some episodes in season one, the n he was just gone.
Heather O'Rourke would disagree.
It's not the Mandela effect if it actually happeened..did Judge Judy use a gevel? Yes..just because she didn't use it all the time doesn't make it a mendela effect..same with the Robin phrase.. did he use it everytime? No...did he use it..yes...so it's not Mandela as it happened.
I don't remember seeing judge judy use a gavel
She always banged her hand on the desk
I think it’s a Mandela effect because they don’t do it all the time, yet people think they did.
The new Mandela effect: Someone hears something incorrectly and refuses to admit they are wrong.
Hmmmph… YES!!!!
You mean the mandela effect
Why's it called that 🤔
That’s exactly it. Misheard and/or misremembered. A great example is the Berenstain Bears: Berenstain is an extremely uncommon name. Berenstein makes much more sense and the brain just makes sure that that’s how it’s remembered. Then, when the actual spelling is pointed out, all of sudden you’ve somehow portaled to a parallel universe.
Something's catchy so we change it to how it should of been independent of it's final product-- Mandela effect
Regarding the Fonz's jacket - a lot of us watched the shows on black and white TV 🤓
No way. Happy Days aired on ABC from 1974-1984. By that time the majority of Americans had color televisions in their homes.
@@edwardcricchio6106
No Way you say ????
Edward Let me enlighten you to a few things
1. The entire world is not comprised of "AMERICA" ok.
Believe it or not we have other continents
Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia
There is life outside of the united states
2. Now Let's discuss those life forms for a second.
Me, I personally had Black and White TV and it wasn't until 1976 (in Sydney) that we got Technicolor (Colour TV)
Now you also need to understand that not everyone was rich enough to actually buy a colour TV at the time
it's sort of like Buying a 4K TV when everyone is buying HD TV's
so you see , even though things were being aired in Technicolour , You would still watch it in Black and White
3. Things happen at different points in time around the world, an example would be a new movie release
so again...... the world is not America and shit does actually happen at different points in time around the world
and it is even possible today for a person to own a black and white TV and be watching todays HD TV in Black and White
I KNOW THIS TO BE A FACT BECAUSE I'M IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY AND I'M AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL
and as such it is also completely possible for a person to have been watching black and white TV since 1970 and to this day , Granted they would be likely in their 60s but hey it's totally possible
and therefore this person would not know the true colour of Fonzie's jacket
so don't be too quick to say NO WAY
Because the world is bigger than America
and sometimes things drag on
i mean, i still know people that use Windows XP
Hell i know a few businesses that still use MS DOS

@@martinkuliza First of all sir, the American Broadcasting Co. aired this television sit-com in the 1970s. It was filmed in color and was shown in color across the States.

I'm sorry if I offended those of you who didn't live in the US then or now. Your comments were unnecessary because they were not directed at you or any other person who wasn't living in the US.
Henry Winkler was in a movie called: "The Lords of Flatbush" (1974). He wears a black leather jacket as do the rest of the gang.

@@billkeithchannel Yep, a light blue windbreaker
#10: Nice timing as yesterday was Mr. T’s birthday. 👍
#5: I thought the Fonz’s jacket was black myself. 😀
#1: I figured (and am glad) “Beam me up, Scotty.” was #1. 🖖.
In William Shatner’s Star Trek novel “The Ashes of Eden”, he had Captain James T. Kirk actually utter that one in full.
I think the mandela lists are starting to “jump the shark”. A couple of good ones on here.
The seven dwarves are singing, "I owe, I owe, it's off to work we go."
Lol in the movie "Batman Forever", there's a scene where Robin shouts "Holey rusted metal, Batman!" Batman looks at him confused and Robin says "The ground! It's all metal and full of holes, ya know!? _HOLEY!_ "
That's not a Mandela effect though
I still laugh at that when I watch it. Like some kind of "dad joke"
Didn't say it was, but technically it was an official Batman production that did say the "Batman" at the end of the phrase
@@PrinceTrexus Yes, you're right. And it's an example of how a big budget movie, gave a shout out to the old T.V. show, and perpetuated the myth. They knew exactly what they were doing, and that's what made it funny.
Yup, tha scene cracks me up everytime, given how different the 2 styles are and the time between.
I don’t remember fonzy having a black jacket but when I was a kid in the 80s I had a black and white tv so when I would see the show in color I remember being surprised that it wasn’t black. Also color tvs weren’t as clear as they are now, even flat screens from 10/15 years ago weren’t as crisp and HD as they are now. In 2019 I was visiting a family member in the hospital and the 70s Willy wonka was on, I was amazed at how crisp the picture was, all the little details and the color. So watching older shows and movies on newer technology can make things appear different than we remember.
Ayyyyyy, y'all gotta be around my age, 55!🤣 Mandela Effect....it does have to do with age obviously because every different age group remembers it differently or there's a slight difference the closer within the age. (I've been testing out this Mandela Effect Theory here lately 😂) Love these videos! Keep it up guys, keep us talking and wondering, keep it real! 😅😂😉❤️✌️
"Beem me up, Scotty" exists for the same reason "Luke, I am your father" exists, it was a way for the person saying it to make the person hearing know it was a quote. Instead of an awkward confusion and trying to explain it, the name makes it obvious it's a quote.
Fonzie didn’t wear a leather jacket at all in the first season; he wore something that looked more like a London Fog jacket.
TPTB thought he’d look like a hoodlum in a leather jacket, so he could only wear it when he was working on or standing by his bike. So many times the Fonz was beside or on the bike in the beginning! 🤣
I am 50 years old and i remember hearing about the "beam me up Scotty" thing way back when I was in high school over 30 years ago. A friend had a trivia game and the was one of the trivia questions. And I was still surprised to hear it , even back then.
A lot of the Mandela Effect is simply explained as people adding a word so people know where the phrase is coming from. The most famous, and a good example, is "Luke, I am your father!" If you were just to say, "I am your father!" people would be confused as to what the reference is and might think its a reference to Maury Povich, or not even realize it is a reference at all. Other things like the Ateam van or Fonz's jacket is simply due to colors being so close. Or maybe they watched on a crap TV with the contrast or brightness messed up.
I swore Vader said, "no, I'm your daddy." imagine my embarrassment.

There was a short lived cartoon called Fonz and the Happy Days Gang. The animated font wore what I'm guessing was supposed to be a black leather jacket (though it was more of a dark grey) There's also a few promo images of him in a black leather jacket, as well as some in B&W that made it look black, so this probably had an effect, along with people not having colour TVs
If it ever happened even once then its not Mandela effect. Does WatchMojo always have to reach so far to make a video?
One big one not mentioned here is from Kindergarten Cop. Most people quote Arnold to saying, “It’s not a brain tumor!” In fact he never said “brain” he just says “It’s not a tumor!”
A lot of these lines come from sketch comedy at the time. They were simplified versions of the popular lines or lines invented to quickly remind the audience of the source.
Yep. Billy Crystal coined 'splainin' in his SNL skits.
5:53 Well back in the 70s not everyone had a color television set, but had black and white sets. On those sets Fonzie's jacket would appear to be black easily.
And, when we got a color television, we would start adjusting it to make his jacket black.
I remember regurgitating Star Treks infamous line in the early '80's, just a bit different! I grew up in the '70's watching Star Trek! When someone who was being stupid I'd say " Beam me up Jimmy (Jim Beam), there are no intelligent drunks down here"! In Honeymooners, Ralph was saying "One of these days Alice" :"Bang, Zoom, to the Moon" or "You're a Riot Alice, a real riot" or "Pow! Right in the kisser"! While I have numerous downloaded videos of the Honeymooners, I've yet to hear "ANY" of these phrases in any episode! Fonzie's jacket Was black! 👍🥃🥃🥃
The Fonz also had for a brief time in the late 70s a black T-shirt and he later revealed the reason why was because he had gained a significant amount of weight and it was a way to hide his new paunch
We need to stop calling everything we misremember the Mandela Effect. "It's spelled Berenstein Bears." "That's the Mandela Effect! It's Berenstain Bears! No, you didn't misremember. It's the Mandela Effect."
That's exactly how I remember it being spelled💯 I remember being confused on how to pronounce it😂 there was no a
There was always an "a". It has always been the Berenstain Bears.
@@jimmyparris9892 not in my world there wasn't💯

In the 1960s Sci Fi/Fantasy show "Lost In Space", The Robot never said the exact phrase "Danger, Danger Will Robinson!" The closest our mechanical friend ever got to it, was in a Season 3 episode called "The Deadliest Of The Species" where The Robot tells the young astronaut "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!"
I loved that show!
I think instead of some "Mandela Effect" we should acknowledge that many of us haven't watched or read the actual source material. But we hear the jokes and see the memes that contain errors and we repeat those errors, only to be surprised later when we finally encounter the actual source.
Sarah Palin never said "I can see Russia from my house."
i pitty the fool was main phrase in the a team coming from mr t.... he got it in 1982 in rocky but it went into the later years of the a team too, without it mr t is nothing... ofc it was in ateam, just not in your sad timeline
Most of these phrases were just short-hand so people who talked about it around the water cooler, or stand-up comedians, or whatever, knew what you were talking about. That's why Batman is added to it, or "Luke" is added to the line "I am your father." No, ST didn't verbatim say "Beam me up Scotty" but if you said it to your friends, or strangers for that matter, they knew what you were talking about as opposed to just saying "beam me aboard." People used "I pity the fool" *anytime* Mr. T was brought up, and he was talked about A LOT in the 80s because of A-Team.
Another one I run into a lot comes from the 50s TV show "Adventures of Superman." Many people believe that "everytime" Superman gets shot at with a gun the criminal will end up throwing the gun at Superman and he ducks to avoid being hit by the gun. The irony being he can handle bullets bouncing off his chest but has to avoid being hit by the gun. However, the truth is this only happens ONCE throughout the entire series, not everytime he is shot at.
I did not know of that. That’s a good one.
I blame David Brenner. He used to relate that anecdote in his standup act.

He's a creep. Look up Heather O'Rourke.
I think Fonzies jacket in the first episode was Grey denim
No one ever had the colour set right on their tv, so I'm not surprised the Fonz' jacket looked Black
Most people were sort of orange on my parents' set
Excellent point, and I was thinking the same thing. Plus, color TVs weren't ubiquitous in the early 1970s when this series debuted.
Speak for yourself. I was a Broadcast Engineer, and our color TV had an excellent picture. Especially, after I installed a top of the line CRT into it. in the early '70s. I still have that set, and it had a great image until the day that TV went digital. Many people bought the cheapest TVs they could find, so many color TVs had low quality CRTS. They were typically the 23 EGP22 which was crap. About 10% bought the best that they could find. which often contained a 'Black Matrix' CRT with newly developed color phosphers.
@@indiansfaninpa Round screen RCA designed color TVs were available, starting in the '50s. Motorola introduced the first solid state color TV in the mid '60s, under the Quasar name. My family bought one of the first to hit our town. It had a tube for the high voltage, and the picture tube, but everything else was transistors. Once a solid sate HV rectifier hit the market, Motorola witched ti those.
@@michaelterrell I didn't say color TVs weren't available in the early '70s. My point was, they weren't in every home, and even households that had a color TV didn't have one in every room.
@@indiansfaninpa Who needed them in every room? From the time that I turned 13, I always had a TV of my own. I orked in a TV shop, so at times I had over 50 of them in our detached garage.
The thing with Fonzie's jacket could be down to the TVs people had in the 70's and 80's. Back then there was no high definition or HDR colours. So his jacket may well have looked black back when Happy Days was originally broadcast.
Captain Pugwash was an animated series on BBC TV in the 50's & 60's. Some of the characters' names were Tom the Cabin Boy, Master Mate and Willy. In the 1990's, the show's creator John Ryan successfully sued the Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian newspapers for claiming the characters were called 'suggestive names' such as 'Master Bate', 'Roger the Cabin Boy' and 'Seaman Staines'. The claims were completely untrue, but that doesn't stop people of a certain age insisting they remember giggling at the double entendres as they watched the shows. Once again, it's pointless arguing with these people, they are convinced.
I think it was Victor Lewis Smith who made it up.
I think the problem with the Fonz even in this video there where scenes where it looks black, but when he moved to a different location in the same scene it is brown. Think the lighting and the way you look at certain aspects shows it to be a different color. Now that we have HD TV it is easier to see the actual color compared to back when it first came out. So calling it a Mandela Effect is kind of pushing it considering the way people now days see the show compared to back then.
Just like Captain Kirk's shirt was always green and not gold on Star Trek TOS on the 1960's.
The premise of the show is “sex and the city of New York”. So I never understood how or why people says “sex in the city”. Especially when it’s abbreviated as SATC. How would you get “in” out of SATC?
You can't use logic here.
I think people mixed up the series Sex AND the City with another 90s series that aired around the same time Caroline IN the City, which ran from 1995-1999 on NBC.

That's my recollection is well, but like that Fonz's jacket appearing to be black we misheard it due to the poor quality of the TV sets we watched it on.
@@mikecarr4178 nope.. Always knew the jacket was dark brown. I didn't mishear a dam thing... It's THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I agree It's the neighborhood
Yeah, that's like finding out that the real lyrics to Sesame Street are "Can you tell me how to go, how to go to Sesame Street" We all sang it a million times, and know the lyrics are "get to Sesame Street". Those songs were ingrained in our developing little brains for years!!
I remember it being "the neighborhood"
Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." He often said, "Elementary," and, "My dear Watson," but never in the same breath.
Never wore a deerstalker either until later films.
@@LionsDenAudioTheatre Not quite. The texts of the Sherlock Holmes stories never specifically mention a deerstalker cap or an Inverness cape coat, but Holmes sometimes wore a "close-fitting cloth cap" and wore an "ankle-length cape coat." Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the stories, illustrated those articles of dress (only when mentioned) as a deerstalker cap and an Inverness cape coat. As for Sherlock Holmes's pipes, he used three: cherry wood, briar, and an "oily clay pipe," all of which Paget illustrated as having straight stems. The calabash pipe originated with American stage actor William Gillette, who thought that a curved-stemmed pipe made it easier to deliver his lines with a pipe in his mouth.
regarding #8, I think people conflated Sex AND the City with another 1990s TV series, Caroline IN the City, which aired on NBC from 1995-1999. CITC aired around the same time as SATC's first two seasons. CITC was part of NBC's popular Must-See TV Thursday night block of programming which included Friends and Seinfeld
The Fonz jacket one might be due to poor color quality/contrast in late '70s early '80s television set. One lousy setting on one of those old thing and the jacket WILL appear black to some cuz it's really a very dark shade of brown.
Or, we adjusted the tv so that it looked black. Remember, we didn't have to navigate through any menus back then. We just walked over, flipped open the panel, and turned the little knobs. I think our tv had 3 or 4. Color, Contrast, Brightness, and Hue. And, since we all thought that Fonzie's jacket was black...
Why are some of these “Yeah, they happened but not often”? Thats not the Mandela effect 😂
Exactly. That's like saying that someone isn't a killer, although they did kill someone at one time.
So they did actually happen
Right!!
@@livewireOrourke it's like saying "you may think X is a serial killer, but they're actually not because they only killed TWO people and Webster's defines a serial killer as someone who kills 3 or more""
Like, okay, but this doesn't change anything. Definitely doesn't make me think I'm in a parallel universe
Because it's Mojo, and their videos never really deliver on what you expect from the title.
I honestly believe we saw tv and movies in an alternative dimension and that's why we remember it that way
I was a big Lone Ranger kid. I never heard hi ho, it was always hi yo.
Same here!
I knew already that B.A. Baracus never said "I pity the fool" on the A-Team, but he called Murdock a "crazy fool".
You right, he used that phrase during the America's Toughest Bouncer competition, after smashing through a door to ring the bell. He set a record, and got discovered by a talent agency.
I think I've seen him use it on a tv commercial or something, but that was years later.
the trade mark of ba was i pitty the fool.... it was mr t and he used it also in ateam in the later years....not in your sad timeline but he sure did in the quality one 2016 and prior
I feel like when it comes to certain things I blame the spoofs.
"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do." is mostly attributed to an Eddie Murphy impression of Ricky Ricardo.
I think Saturday Night Live. He also did a Mr. Rogers parody and Buckwheat.
@@jimmyparris9892 His impression of Buckwheat is also where we get "Oh-tay" from. Which of course Buckwheat never said.
'splainin' was Billy Crystal on SNL in the 90's.
in the 70s I had a tee shirt with the phrase..."Beam me Scottie, there is no intelligent life down here." But it was a parody shirt based off star trek, not the phrase itself... nice catch on that one... :)
I think the biggest example of the mandella effect to me is Spiderman. I always knew him as Spiderman. But out of nowhere. He apparently has always been Spider-Man with a dash and not Spiderman.
Do you think that's where the dash from KitKat went? 😲
@@zanussidish8144 Or the dash from Walmart
@@laurafranich4807 Or the dash from ice cream.
Let's keep making this up Laura.
Where's the dash from Easter egg.
Your go from your pretend existence... 👍
The first time I ever heard "Beam me up, Scotty" was on David Letterman. Early on, Dave had a continuing bit with characters named (let's say) Frank and Fred. The bit was illustrated with clever illustrations on cards that Dave, sitting at his desk, would hold up to the camera. Frank always behaved well and Fred didn't. One time we saw Frank getting married, everybody in their proper place in the church, and all going well. Then we saw Fred as the groom in the same place, freaking out with popping eyeballs and so on. Dave supplied the dialog "Beam me up, Scotty!" That was the first time I'd ever heard the phrase outside of Trek.
I used to have a Tshirt that said Beam me up Scotty there's no intelligent life down here.
There's actually a book called Beam me up Scotty, a autobiography about the actors life... this effect is real, this trap is comming to it's end.
One day we will find out WatchMoJo never existed and all these top 10s were merely a figment of our imagination.
As far as Fonzie's jacket goes most people didn't have the greatest television reception back in the day so dark brown would easily look black... And this whole Mandela effect thing comes down to how people I have different perspectives and memories....
The Judge Judy one definitely got me i could have sworn she hammered that Gavel down on the table after the conclusion of every case.
Same here?
I watched an episode of Judge Judy yesterday and she used that gavel heavily. It was annoying because, at the time, there were no out burst going on.
@@danmcclintock1621 i was gonna say the same she is gavel happy half the time and for no reason lol
Didn't Judge Wapner always use his gavel? I think our memories run together, especially when some of the things we remember are between 30 and 60 years ago.
Another phrase never said in Star Trek was "He's Dead Jim". I've heard "He's Dead Captain" and "It's Dead"
I remember Fonzie's jacket being brown.
“Say goodnight Gracie.”
“Goodnight Gracie!”
Was never said on the 1950 TV show The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. But with her delightful wit it certainly sounds like something she would have said.
They used that routine closing the show, it happened ... I've seen it
I can thank Julie Nolke for introducing me to the term "Mandela Effect", and how ABBA was apparently the "Fishy, Cold Place."
Is she the one person in the world who thought mandela died in prison ?
Sweden was the "Fishy, Cold Place"
@@endtimessupportgroup5685 Sadly there's more than that. Of course they never know anything else about South Africa.
@@endtimessupportgroup5685 we were actually told that in school. not sure where it started, but people were actually informed of him dying in prison at least in the universe i come from 8P. I was stunned as an adult when i found out.
The Fonz jacket is easily explainable due to the fact the IQ of the series when a lot of us saw it in the 70s/80s was very poor. I always thought it was black until I saw a remaster of it.
Who in the hell says "Hi ho Silver"? LMAO
I remember in the movie "Unforgiven" the book Beauchamp wrote, "The Duke of Death", was spelled as "Duk of Death" onscreen. Hence the duck joke in the movie. Does anyone else remember this?
I'm a bit surprised by Mr. Rogers' opening theme, because I've _always_ remembered it as "It's a beautiful day in *this* neighborhood"
Me too.
I guess I should finish the video. I paused it to read and reply to comments. It is "the" not "this". I had the LP as a child that had all the songs on it.
Beau partage. Belle vidéo❤👍
Yeah, the Judge Judy and Batman ones aren’t “mandela effects” if they happened…
Holy great list Watchmojo! :)
I can hear Mr. T saying this in my head. There were guys who said this up to and through my HS years.
you are correct, most of the people here have no clue they are too young, this timeline does not have him saying this in the series but the quality one does, the phrase came in 1982 right before ateam aired during rocky 3 and was used in the ateam too for years later, do not interact too much with this timeline individuals, i know you have no choice but it is different kind to yours, this one is ai dominated, stay safe
Yeah, I'll buy this one as misremembering. Mr. T himself did say it, but I don't think he ever said it in the A Team.
It was a bumper sticker. "Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life here."
That thumbnail looks sketchy, because i know for a fact that the Fonz wore a black jacket 👀🤔🤷♂️
Some of these would be considered phrases with refrences...like batman.
You say beam me up....Scotty, because not everyone would get the reference without using the name of the person who always ran the transport.
Jesse in Breaking Bad was more of an add-on since he used "Bitsh" all the time in any given conversation. As he got excited about using science which he finally understood.
Happy Days...ive always seen a dark brown leather jacket...I have only seen 2 prints where a black jacket was used, and the prints confused grease, and The outsiders greaser looks with the Fonz's look.
I love Lucy would be considered a refrenceing phrase as well, since some people do a horrible accent, some people may not get the reference unless you add "Lucy" to the phrase.
Some notable mentions....Ed McMahan publishers clearing house, Foleys and JC penny.
I remember it being Home Depot, not THE Home Depot
In Star Trek: The Voyage Home, Kirk said the line “Scotty, beam me up”.
It is pretty close...
Fonzi’s jacket was black if you watched it on a TV that was only black and white.
I am sure many did back then.
"Danger Will Robinson" from the robot in Lost In Space was only said once or twice in the series, but memory makes you think it was always said
I had never heard of anyone referring to the Fonz's jacket as black.
yep i thought it was black. i grew up watching black and white tv though.
@@baneblackguard584 Ha! That makes sense. I was at the end of that era, but we did have at least one black-and-white TV during my early years.
Some are definitely just false memories, but then there are some that are like wow, that can't be right.
It's an interesting thing even if it's just remembering things wrong.
I'm glad they didn't bring up the 1979 007 movie Moonraker in which DOLLY HAD BRACES!
Anyone who saw the movie in the theater in 1979 will tell you that. As to why all the video recordings show her without the braces, that is a yet unsolved mystery.
Unsolved mystery 😂
A film in which she doesn't need braces, has nothing to do with the plotline is an unsolved mystery.
Oh wait a minute. He's got metal teeth so therefore he'll only be attracted to someone wearing braces.
It is a mystery isn't it.
You mean Holly? The character's name was HOLLY Goodhead, not Dolly. And the person who wore "braces" was Jaws played by Richard Kiel. He didn't actually wear braces but he had silver metal teeth.
@@zanussidish8144 you are obviously young and have no clue to what you are talking about simply never been in that timeline, she had braces and big ones...
@@michelleper5065 I'm old enough to accept that there's zero reason for her to have braces.
I certainly don't go around citing 'timelines' rather than admitting I'm wrong about something.
@@zanussidish8144 you are not old enough to realize where you are and this is the worst thing, she had braces, and not small ones, they were pretty ugly, you belong in a different timeline i explained already you will never remember them if you were never part of that timeline
Who else already knew that Fonzi's jacket was brown?
I grew up watching I love Lucy and I have every episode on DVD and can quote it word for word and no they never said that. They only thing Ricky said that was close to that was Start Splainin.
People mistaking a word is no where near a Mandela effect
How can you not have “Play it again, Sam!” from Casablanca??? COMPLETE Mandela effect considering Ilsa’s line was “Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake …. Play it, Sam. Play ‘As Time Goes By.’” Then, Sam said “You played it for her, you can play it for me! …. If she can stand it, I can! Play it!” But NOBODY says “Play it again, Sam.”
This list was about TV, not movies.
@@Coyotek4 Idk how I missed that. You’re correct. Thank you.
I doubt many people on this channel have heard of the movie nevermind watched it.
@@zanussidish8144 And, if true, it’s a truly sad commentary on one of the greatest movies ever.
@@jasonbodine6033 There's a whole lot of 40s movies that are never going to get the views of Superman 3.
To the narrator, stop saying "misremembering." This effect is real.
One mind bender is the "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" theme. Later on (2012), the same people who produced the original show (Fred Rogers Productions), produced an animated spinoff, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood." All though that show had the SAME theme song as the original, Daniel Tiger sang it as "the neighborhood." SO, even Mr. Rogers' own company got it wrong.
You just proved that Judge Judy DID use a gavel. 🙄
Um, sure, high quality broadcasts of old Happy Days episodes show that the jacket is brown, not black. But if you watched it on a 70s TV from radio signals an hour away from the transmitter, it looked black.
The actual phrase in the Star Trek series was actually "Beam me up, Mr Scott" and I'm not actually sure how many times Captain Kirk actually said that, probably only one time.
I think people misremember the Star Trek line because it was referenced in a popular rap song by EPMD that way: "It's like beam me up Scotty. I control your body. I'm as deadly as AIDS when it's time to rock a party." (Strictly Business title track)
I know Captain Kirk once said “Scotty, beam us up!” But that is the closest he ever came to the mis-remembered phrase.
In the animated series they use the phase at least once, but not on the live action
The word "mister" comes from a french word that means "slave". Beam me up slave Scott.
