There are two characters named Captain Marvel, one owned by DC and one by Marvel. DC's Character is much older and the mentioned TV show was based on him. They relatively recently changed the name of the character to Shazam though to prevent confusion with Marvel Comic.
I remember I used to watch this guy called "The Angry Nintendo Nerd"... and then one day I found the same guys videos but his name was "The Angry Video Game Nerd"... I was like.. I'm quite sure I remember him as "The Angry Nintendo Nerd". There was a song and everything that said it.
I think you're just mis-remembering the part of the theme song that goes "He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd. He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd." (And because this is the Internet and I don't know how well my jokes fly at 1 am... it's a joke.)
Probably the funniest example of the Mandela Effect you can pull on somebody is to play Queen's We Are The Champions. The song ends simply with the lyrics "we are the champions" even though many people, myself included, remember it ending with Freddie Mercury stretching out one final "of the wooorld". You can see this occur in James Cordon's Carpool Karaoke with Gwen Stefani, where they all wait in anticipation for the final line that never arrives.
In The Wizard of Oz, the wicked witch used to say "Fly my Pretties. Fly, Fly, Fly!" Now she just says "Fly...Fly, Fly, Fly!" I remember it clearly from when I was a kid and I used to watch it a lot. There's a Wizard of Oz spoof in The Simpsons where Mr. Burns says it and there's even a band called Fly My Pretties.
I once saw an episode of Saturday Night Live, with Drew Barrymore hosting, and it had one really funny sketch in a Karaoke bar, but then I saw a rerun years later, and the sketch was totally different. However, I had managed to record the original on VHS and was able to go back and double check. I was right; the sketch had changed. Weird as fuck. Don't ask me how the hell that's even possible....
Well one partial explanation for the Joker and the King Kong ones here for people our age is that our TVs weren't nearly as good back in the day so our brains filled in a lot of the missing information. That dollar bill would've been pretty hazy so if you were expecting to see Jokers face there you would've. And that rock formation did look pretty damn skull like.
This is kinda related, but I get deja vu A LOT. Like, I would dream about say something specific happening while driving toward Reading, or something like that. Then, the same exact thing would happen months later in real life. It's like I predicted it or something. It freaks me out sometimes. Anybody else like this?
I remembered seeing Darth Vader's ghost in Return of the Jedi looking like he did when he was unmasked - now the DVD's I have, and when I've caught it on TV shows Hayden Christensen
I remember many years ago at the end of the SpongeBob episode The Bully, after Mrs. Puff yells "I'm gonna kick your butt!" at the end, SpongeBob screams and runs out again. I remember it clearly and whenever the episode rerun I was like "where'd that part go?"
It has always been "No, I am your father." I believe the misconception came from the fact that Vader says "Luke!" a lot during the whole convo, but doesn't say it there.
My own personal Mandela effect was Jurassic Park. When I saw it in the theaters and it got to the end and the Trex gets the raptors, I remember seeing the rex actually crash through the building at the end before facing the raptors. When I got the vhs I watched it again and there was no such scene. The rex just shows up behind them. I never understood it and others have claimed they saw the same thing.
I had kind of a reverse-mandela moment. I remember back in the mid 80s when "Aliens" came out... a few years later they showed it on Television and I noticed the scenes with the sentry guns (how could I forget? they were so cool). Of my friends, who were all fellow fans of the movie, I was evidently the only one that saw it. I told them about it the next day on the playground and they all either thought I was lying or somehow mistaken. Evidently TBS or whoever was showing the film on TV got a hold of the director's cut of the film and didn't advertise the fact. Years later when the directors cut was finally released in video, I called all of my friends and said "HA! I was right!" I had managed to remember it correctly and no one else did.
Interestingly enough, while Looney Tunes does have the "tunes" spelling, Tiny Toon Adventures doesn't. I do wonder whether or not that was a mistake by the creators due to mis-remembering of the spelling.
Same. i even asked some friends about it and they said they remember me having a life once too ! We used to all do stuff together. i've looked everywhere...i can't find this "life" i once had. i call it... THE WHENDIDI DEFECT.
phone7x7 Yep, pretty much. Our memories are very malleable and open to suggestion. I'm taking courses for a BS in psychology, and we were recently talking about faulty memory in my human cognition class. People can be very confident in, and remember vividly, things that never happened. Pretty interesting.
It does. In fact, our brains don't actually "see" perfectly in real time either. Our brains make shit up all the time to fill in gaps, see patterns and generally make sense of anything that doesn't.
Yes our brains do this. However the thing with the Mandela Effect is it's hundreds of thousands of people around the world that remember something falsely. Which is harder to attribute to false memory. Until the Internet was widely available we would have noticed this before as we couldn't have shared our conflicting memories.
YouFoolWarrenIsDead What do you mean? Lots of substances have effects on your memory - alcohol is probably the biggest. Hallucinogens fall into 3 classes - psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants; they're all very different. Psychedelics are what most people think of, and in terms of visuals, typically just involve visual distortions, etc., and the person knows what's happening isn't real (LSD, mescaline, etc.). Deliriants, on the other hand, are often essentially poisons, and can lead to truly seeing things that aren't there; the person often doesn't know what they're experiencing isn't real (diphenhydramine, Datura, etc.). That's just some background and examples, since I don't know what you mean. Dissociatives (PCP, Ketamine, Dextromethorphan) can affect one's memory, though, as can deliriants (or, it's likely, at least).
I always remembered something from Return of the Jedi, when they attack the Death Star. When the shield is still up, I distinctly remember a few of the fighters don't pull up in time and smash into the shield. Lo and behold, this never happens, yet oddly, there *is* a scene like this in Rogue One.
kev3d I was always sure Palpatine said "Oh I'm afraid your friends are going to have to die", not "oh I'm afraid the deflector shields will be quite operational when your friends arrive" But we are talking about George Lucas in this case, who redoes everything.
The best one for me is extremely vivid memories of the start of Disney movies on DVD/VHS I could SWEAR tinkerbell used to fly on, draw the Disney logo, dot the i and then fly off before the movie begins. But nope, it never happened.
I remember that too, but it was extremely uncommon. So maybe there's one or two movies that do it, maybe not. I'd look into straight to video movies as well, maybe it was there.
I had this with Jurassic Park. as far as my memory goes: I remember the T-rex busting through the roof at the end to eat the Velociraptors. I found a website some years earlier with people that claim to see the same thing but can't find it now. Everything points to me having a faulty memory of this but yet it feels so strong.
I definitely remember it as Berenstein Bears and I also remember Shazam...Kazam wasn't something i saw until i was an adult. There are a lot of us that came from whatever universe that was.
Can anybody here answer why Jim Carey quoted "HELLO CLARICE" in The Cable Guy if that line was never spoken in The Silence of the Lambs?????.. Anyone??
Movies are weird because different versions can, indeed, be different in inexplicable ways. Even television shows get odd alterations when being rebroadcast.
also shows why witnesses cant be fully trusted as far as their testimony. why the memory of an incident should never be used as the central piece of evidence in a trial.
The most undeniable movie Mandela Effect is from Moonraker.. Dolly 100% had braces.. that is what that whole scene was about..if you're not familiar with this one go look up it up..
FYI, both Marvel AND DC have characters named Captain Marvel that are getting movies in 2019. DC later changed their character's comic to being called Shazam to avoid confusion.
People swore that facial animations in 2017 would be extremely advanced and realistic, but when you look it up.... none of that ever seem to have happened.... o_O
Alien (1979) I saw the original on betamax video tape, when Lambert the women is killed, the alien puts his tail between her legs you see her feet & the aliens tail and I also remember her pissing herself & it flowing down her leg because of the fear, I have never seen that ever again on any format.
You just blew my mind by saying that Shazaam never happened! I totally had to pause, rewind, and do research! I swear to God that I remember watching a movie called Shazaam with Sinbad as a genie, and laughing how bad both Shazaam and Kazaam were. WHAT. THE. FUCK!
In the movie "Ten Things I Hate About You", I distinctly remember what I considered, for years, to be one of the funniest gags in the movie: While trying to walk the walk to win the affections of Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger is informed of the health hazards of smoking. Later, at a bar/pool hall-type hangout, one of his friends offers him a cigarette and he declines, explaining, "No thanks, I found out they're bad for you." "Really?" the friend responds with complete sincerity, then throws the whole pack away in disgust. Absurdly, somehow, these two had gone their whole lives naive to the knowledge that cigarettes were unhealthy, and as soon as they were clued in, they stopped. That moment always felt so clever and original, to me. But a decade later, I re-watched the movie to discover no such gag existed. The scene was there, but all that happened was: she offers him a cigarette and he says, "No thanks."
"Elementary, my dear Watson" is never actually said in the books. As well as "Play it again, Sam" (from Casablanca). It's just an example of something like one media outlet misquoting the movie and from there everybody picked it up and overblew it to worldwide proportions.
The batman scene was wahl picking it up and it showz his face the scene was in the theaters just like joker sitting up at the end after the credits but not in the video release
I remember a scene in "The Wizard of Oz" where Dorithy finally wakes up at the end of the movie to see her family waiting for her regain consciousness as well as a doctor. When Dorithy comes to she says, "I had the strangest dream... and you were there and you were there." I remember her pointing to the doctor and saying "I never seen you before." Now that line is gone.
Happens that way in Rocko's Modern Life. Joe Murray, the show's creator is there for no reason and Rocko says, "...and you i've never seen before." Joe replies, "You're off model Kangaroo boy."
I have one of my own, from a video game. Anyone familiar with the game _Alley Cat_ on the Atari800? As a kid, I could have sworn that I somehow crossed over to some other level, some completely different house, with different graphics and everything. My then-best friend even said to me something about "that weird house". But it never happened again! And I could never make it happen again either! I remembered it so well for a long time, and it must have been some kind of secret, but nothing I looked up online made any reference to it at all. Did I imagine it?! Including my friend talking about it? What the hell was it?? It couldn't have been just graphics glitches, because I'm pretty sure it looked like a house. I know this is really obscure, but if anyone could help out with my own personal video game Mandela Effect experience, I'd like to know.
I always knew it was Looney Tunes, thanks to my Dad. He is one big fan of the animated shorts and loved to point out those things. Warner Bros. Looney Tunes was to sort of parody/rival Disney's Silly Symphonies. WB also had Merrie Melodies too. All music related to the titles. If I remember right MM had a more Disney feel to it and LT was straight up, well, Looney.
Shazam is the alternate name of the DC character Captain Marvel. The 2019 movie titled Captain Marvel is based off of the Marvel character of the same name, whereas the Shazam movie is based on the DC character. Confusing as fuck, I know.
I have a very distinct false memory of the Xbox/Ps2 game of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I remember after fighting the ring wraiths on weathertop I kept dying because I'd been poisoned from bat bites and had no healing items, so I had to give up the game. I replayed the game many years later only to find that there are no bats in the game, or poison for that matter. Shit's crazy.
One day when I was walking down the street I tripped and fell and some guy helped pick me back up. I though I had my wallet with me, but when I got home I didn't have it
Nation of Masturbation As much as I think the ME is a thing, I believe this dark tip only happens in an episode where Maggie turns into Pikachu for about 2 seconds and the tip of her tail is dark.
That's because his ears have dark tips on them, so we assume his other appendage does as well. Honestly, all this "Mandela effect" stuff is rather reasonable.
Looney Tunes threw me for a loop too. Not because of a faulty memory, I just wasn't sure. Now that I think about it, it works perfectly since it's paired up with Merrie Melodies.
The thing about Joker's face being on the money: I have previously heard that the Joker's face is totally on the money in that scene. You're most likely right.
Speaking about Batman: I do remember that scene when a gotham citizen unfolded a dollar bill a saw the Joker face on it and ever since I also watch it when its on TV hopping to see that scene. Also, I remember when Gordon discovers what its laughing from the dead Joker it a little bag, I remember gordon opens the bag and find out a little red thing makin the laugh sound. Please tell me there is others out there that also remember this
Since when has editing ever made sense? In that case the actual product may have not been credited, in which case technically you shouldn't use it in a major scene.. either that or revealing the gag might be against the product's advertising rules. It's kind of why you see people using "COLA" in movies because real products have rules.
For the longest time I thought it was "Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong's Quest" but it's actually "Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Kong Quest" I felt so stupid after figuring that out, and I know I'm not the only one.
The Red Guy I remember thinking this for about a year back in the 90s. Diddy's Kong Quest is a much better name though. Not only is he on a Quest to find a Kong, it's also a play on Conquest. And that's fun.
The Red Guy It was actually intended to be named "Diddy Kong's Quest". But they changed it before release. I still remember the screenshot with the old title in a Nintendo magazine back then.
When I was a kid, the TV network broadcasted a kids show called "Kloak" ("Sewer"). It was about this guy who was trapped in the sewers under Stockholm, because there had been an transdimensional-alien invasion of the sewers. The Aliens had managed to capture Time itself in the Sewer and they would never grow old and never die. And the show was about this guy and some kids trying to defeat those Aliens. It was epic and awesome, kinda like a swedish Dr Who. And APPARENTLY I was the only one watching it! No one in my age remembers it!
I remember seeing Disney's Aladdin as a kid in the movie theatre. Distinctly, I remember seeing the genie's lamp crumbling at the end. When we got the VHS of it, the scene was completely different; nothing like that happens to it. I thought, maybe, it was an alternate cut of the movie. I believed that for decades. About a year ago, I saw The Duck Tales movie, where that exact thing happens to that genie's lamp. Turns out I combined the two "freeing the Genie" scenes from those two movies. I guess my brain just works like WinZip and combines common elements from movies. Just like when Bruce Willis saved the world in Deep Impact...
The spelling of Looney Tunes has always made sense to me due to the context of the similar Silly Symphonies and Merry Melodies series. I would question whether "toon" was even in popular use before Roger Rabbit, obviously years after the old Bugs Bunny stuff came into fruition.
Man, James, I'm really admirative about your collections. Video Games, movies, all set up in awesome rooms. That's what I love about american houses, basements ! Here in France all we have is creepy caves where you can't do shit but store wine bottles... which is cool in a way but is not as cool as collection rooms ! Cheers from Europe !
I dont like much if any of the cereal I liked as a kid. I think around 13-14 (2003-2004) is when the health nuts started forcing them to make it all healthier changing the ingredients. Not because I grew out of it.
DutchBondFan This is one of those ME's that actually makes more sense the way we remember it (Dolly having braces) than the way it currently is. At least that episode of the Simpsons where comic book guy gets swooned by a girl with braces seems to think so.
I think it's just monkeys have tails. So obviously he had a tail. Many of these seem like false standardizations. The spelling of Berenstein vs. Berenstain is because in most names ending with -stein/-stain we see the former. Thus we unconsciously mash them together.
There was an experiment done a few years back where people's brains were being scanned very in-depth while they were looking at a few different images. A computer program tried to not only tell what image they were looking at, but recreate the image based on brain activity. One that really struck me was an image of a bird flying through the air. However, the background would be different depending on who they were scanning (blue sky, clouds, a forest), and the bird was even in a different perspective for one of the subjects. Just shows that even as we are watching something, our brain is already filling in unimportant details, sometimes completely synthesizing them.
Roth Sothy I've seen it on TV so many times over the years but only once when I was younger did I see the octopus scene. it may have TBS or something too young at the time to remember. It was definitely a TV cut tho.
Yeah, the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts started off as comedic musicals before branching out to just comedy in general hence the 'Tunes' spelling, but several decades later Tiny Toons came along and they switched up the spelling for it.
I never had this memory but many people remember the Tom hanks film "big" having an alternate ending with Elizabeth Perkins wishing to be a kid again and being introduced as a new student in hank's school. in the actual ending, she just drops him off at his house, he turns back into a kid as he walks toward his house, looks at her one last time, she smiles at him and then drives away.
One very common example I've seen is a false moment from Return of the Jedi: when the Ewok with the hang glider crashes to the ground, many (myself included) distinctly remember that, immediately after crashing, he is also crushed flat by an AT-ST walker- but in fact he does not! However, this one has a pretty easy explanation: a walker DOES appear directly above him, and for a brief moment it looks like its foot COULD come crashing straight down onto his head, but instead it touches down on the ground behind him. Most likely our childhood selves saw the foot about to drop, briefly feared that we were about to see him squished, and later remembered the fear more easily than the real happening.
I 100% remember there being a promo add for Curious George where he was swinging by his tail. I remember watching a episode from when i was young and he definitely had a tail.
I remember vividly in the episode of Batman TAS Christmas with the Joker Batman says "my turn" after the Joker throws a pie in his face. I watched it recently and he didn't say anything it was just an awkward pause
Although IIRC the DC Captain Marvel is actually called Shazam now due to the very weird trademark issues involved with DC owning a character called Captain Marvel, his normal comic has been called Shazam for a very long time.
The way he pronounces Mandela bothers me everytime he says it
I'm from the Berenstein timeline.
I still cant believe the evil witch in Snow White actually says "Magic Mirror on the wall". She never actually says "mirror mirror".
There are two characters named Captain Marvel, one owned by DC and one by Marvel. DC's Character is much older and the mentioned TV show was based on him. They relatively recently changed the name of the character to Shazam though to prevent confusion with Marvel Comic.
Well said
Shazam is the worst super hero name ever.
In 2008, he was called Captain Marvel in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, but they named him Shazzam in 2012's Injustice.
Shazam is better than "Kite Man" (although the latter is a villain, not a super hero).
Still better then Polka-dot Man or Condiment King.
I remember I used to watch this guy called "The Angry Nintendo Nerd"... and then one day I found the same guys videos but his name was "The Angry Video Game Nerd"... I was like.. I'm quite sure I remember him as "The Angry Nintendo Nerd". There was a song and everything that said it.
Ameretsu Shidori lol
I think you're just mis-remembering the part of the theme song that goes "He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd. He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd."
(And because this is the Internet and I don't know how well my jokes fly at 1 am... it's a joke.)
I love the way you narrate and explain things. So calming.
for the longest time I thought febreze was spelled as febreeze
I'm not the only person I've seen point it out.
even in ace ventura 2 ace goes up to the skinny old man wearing one and says "you must be the monopoly guy"
I remember people saying man-DELLA, not MAN-della. Is that a Jersey thing?
Rob Lego It's an ignorant thing
It's all good. James can say it however he wants. Even if it's weird and totally wrong, lol. A+ for an interesting and different kind of video.
Rob Lego NO!!! HE MUST READ THIS AND FILM THE VIDEO AGAIN, SAYING IT RIGHT!!!!
Just Kidding 😁
Gordon Shumway ha ha ha! OK, I agree. Refilm it bitch!
Probably the funniest example of the Mandela Effect you can pull on somebody is to play Queen's We Are The Champions.

You can see this occur in James Cordon's Carpool Karaoke with Gwen Stefani, where they all wait in anticipation for the final line that never arrives.
"Yo, I was watching Kong last night and I saw this skeleton!" Never change James.
In The Wizard of Oz, the wicked witch used to say "Fly my Pretties. Fly, Fly, Fly!" Now she just says "Fly...Fly, Fly, Fly!"

HOL UP YOU'VE NEVER SEEN SPACE JAM!?
Looney Tunes is spelled that way because it started out as Merry Melodies
monopoly guy with the monacle is actually the pringles logo and thats why everyone thinks that ... mind blown
Well one partial explanation for the Joker and the King Kong ones here for people our age is that our TVs weren't nearly as good back in the day so our brains filled in a lot of the missing information. That dollar bill would've been pretty hazy so if you were expecting to see Jokers face there you would've. And that rock formation did look pretty damn skull like.
We also weren't even seeing the entire movie, cause most broadcasts and videos were formatted to fit our square TVs.
This is kinda related, but I get deja vu A LOT. Like, I would dream about say something specific happening while driving toward Reading, or something like that. Then, the same exact thing would happen months later in real life. It's like I predicted it or something. It freaks me out sometimes. Anybody else like this?
I remembered seeing Darth Vader's ghost in Return of the Jedi looking like he did when he was unmasked - now the DVD's I have, and when I've caught it on TV shows Hayden Christensen

Really? You didn't include the most famous movie Mandela effect? The "Luke I am your father" actually being "NO, I am your father"
Darth Binks Bricks But only in the special editions. In the original theatrical versions, it was "Luke".
Nash J. nope
It has always been "No, I am your father." I believe the misconception came from the fact that Vader says "Luke!" a lot during the whole convo, but doesn't say it there.
I remember it being "No Luke, I, am your father".
There's also "Play it again, Sam" in Casablanca. In reality, it's "Play it, Sam. For old time's sake. Play 'As Time Goes By'".
i swear to god, its berenstein
WO WO WO WO HOLD THE FUCK UP
James has never seen Space Jam?
I've never seen it either, though I know I saw the title of the show twice on the TV guide.
That was THE movie to watch as a child for me. I loved basketball so it only made sense.
space jam, more like toe jam
Rickard no it's shazaaam
Show it to your kids James. It's a classic.
My own personal Mandela effect was Jurassic Park. When I saw it in the theaters and it got to the end and the Trex gets the raptors, I remember seeing the rex actually crash through the building at the end before facing the raptors. When I got the vhs I watched it again and there was no such scene. The rex just shows up behind them. I never understood it and others have claimed they saw the same thing.

I told them about it the next day on the playground and they all either thought I was lying or somehow mistaken.
Evidently TBS or whoever was showing the film on TV got a hold of the director's cut of the film and didn't advertise the fact. Years later when the directors cut was finally released in video, I called all of my friends and said "HA! I was right!" I had managed to remember it correctly and no one else did.
It's Bernstein dammit. We'll, at least I didn't cross over alone.
Now people are going to say you're from a third universe, because you spelled it Bernstein.
it's bloodstain in my universe
God damned speedsters, always screwing up the timeline -_-
speedhog58 "there are consequences to time travel, Barry"
Barry: "The only way to beat Savotar is to travel to the future"
🤦♂️
"Beam me up Scotty" was never spoken. The closest is when Kirk says, "Scott, beam me up" in Star Trek IV.
Interestingly enough, while Looney Tunes does have the "tunes" spelling, Tiny Toon Adventures doesn't. I do wonder whether or not that was a mistake by the creators due to mis-remembering of the spelling.
I remember vividly having a life, seems that's not the case.
Ivan Rogers II ha ha!
Same. i even asked some friends about it and they said they remember me having a life once too !
We used to all do stuff together.
i've looked everywhere...i can't find this "life" i once had.
i call it...
THE WHENDIDI DEFECT.
same here m8
I feel like we remember things wrong all the time. Like our brain just fills in gaps and guesses and then we believe it.
phone7x7 Yep, pretty much. Our memories are very malleable and open to suggestion. I'm taking courses for a BS in psychology, and we were recently talking about faulty memory in my human cognition class. People can be very confident in, and remember vividly, things that never happened. Pretty interesting.
It does. In fact, our brains don't actually "see" perfectly in real time either. Our brains make shit up all the time to fill in gaps, see patterns and generally make sense of anything that doesn't.

Does that explain hallucinogenics?
YouFoolWarrenIsDead What do you mean? Lots of substances have effects on your memory - alcohol is probably the biggest.

Shaq+Kazaam=Shazaaam, boom, solved the internet
That's weird I also remember the '89 movie having a shot where they show that the joker's face is in the dollar bill
I always remembered something from Return of the Jedi, when they attack the Death Star. When the shield is still up, I distinctly remember a few of the fighters don't pull up in time and smash into the shield. Lo and behold, this never happens, yet oddly, there *is* a scene like this in Rogue One.

But we are talking about George Lucas in this case, who redoes everything.
what about the queen song we are thr champions where people remember freddie saying "of the world" at the end
The best one for me is extremely vivid memories of the start of Disney movies on DVD/VHS
I could SWEAR tinkerbell used to fly on, draw the Disney logo, dot the i and then fly off before the movie begins. But nope, it never happened.
Tinkerbell definitely did. I remember that vividly. I probably saw that on VHS.
I remember that too, but it was extremely uncommon. So maybe there's one or two movies that do it, maybe not. I'd look into straight to video movies as well, maybe it was there.
Will Pavey Teah that totally is a thing on the old VHS copies
i remeber that from the peter pan 2 movie
I remember they used tinker bell on the DVD Fast Play gimmick and she would come up and create that logo
I had this with Jurassic Park. as far as my memory goes: I remember the T-rex busting through the roof at the end to eat the Velociraptors. I found a website some years earlier with people that claim to see the same thing but can't find it now. Everything points to me having a faulty memory of this but yet it feels so strong.
Mandela Effect: Because I can't be wrong about this many things... so the whole universe is wrong.
I definitely remember it as Berenstein Bears and I also remember Shazam...Kazam wasn't something i saw until i was an adult. There are a lot of us that came from whatever universe that was.
Can anybody here answer why Jim Carey quoted "HELLO CLARICE" in The Cable Guy if that line was never spoken in The Silence of the Lambs?????.. Anyone??
Movies are weird because different versions can, indeed, be different in inexplicable ways. Even television shows get odd alterations when being rebroadcast.
I love the Mandela Effect, it just shows how shitty our memmories really are.
also shows why witnesses cant be fully trusted as far as their testimony. why the memory of an incident should never be used as the central piece of evidence in a trial.
Kevin Vogel The Rashomon effect.
The most undeniable movie Mandela Effect is from Moonraker.. Dolly 100% had braces.. that is what that whole scene was about..if you're not familiar with this one go look up it up..
angry video game nerd? no way, i remeber it as angry NINTENDO nerd.
Ice King lol :D
Ice King wasnt he james the nes nerd

Huh? I could have sworn he was James the NES Punk! WTF??
What are you talking about? I remember him as the Atari Sega Nerd
FYI, both Marvel AND DC have characters named Captain Marvel that are getting movies in 2019. DC later changed their character's comic to being called Shazam to avoid confusion.
Mandela Effect:Andromeda
People swore that facial animations in 2017 would be extremely advanced and realistic, but when you look it up.... none of that ever seem to have happened.... o_O
John Smith Nice.
Andromandella
Tonks
yes
Alien (1979) I saw the original on betamax video tape, when Lambert the women is killed, the alien puts his tail between her legs you see her feet & the aliens tail and I also remember her pissing herself & it flowing down her leg because of the fear, I have never seen that ever again on any format.
I personally remember the spelling as Berenstein too.
You just blew my mind by saying that Shazaam never happened! I totally had to pause, rewind, and do research! I swear to God that I remember watching a movie called Shazaam with Sinbad as a genie, and laughing how bad both Shazaam and Kazaam were. WHAT. THE. FUCK!
I could've swore I remember that scene specifically in Christmas vacation, I remember Clark beating the living hell out of Santa Claus!!
May not have been Looney Toons. But it was definitely Tiny Toons
Well that's tiny, and toony, but all a little looney.
Disney used to call their characters toons, didn't they? The word toon is derived from tune.
They're invading our TV!
Plus both kinda happened in the same universe with Looney Tunes characters being teachers in Tiny Toons - maybe people are mixing up two names?
I think more recent tv has it as Looney Toons, but back in the day, I thought "tunes" was a lasso in with the name "Merrie Melodies".
Fruit Loops used to be spelled Froot Loops with all four O's being different colored cereal. Good luck finding that box on Google images.
AtariBorn nice trap
Gordon Shumway Trap?
AtariBorn It's froot man, not fruit
Gordon Shumway Yeah. I had that backwards lol
This has nothing to do with nothing, but why does Alf have the Flash's logo as his avatar?
is everyone going to gloss over the fact that this man has never seen space jam
TeamAquaGrunt Guess he doesn't want to slam or jam.
Yeah I also thought that was weird ^^
he lives his life surrounded by shitty games, why would he want to sunk even more on the abyss with shitty movies
and he's a better human being for it
What a wonderful and fortunate youth years James had..
My favorite is when Hannibel says "Hello, Clarice" in Silence of The Lambs. Remember that? You shouldn't, because nothing like it ever happens.
In the movie "Ten Things I Hate About You", I distinctly remember what I considered, for years, to be one of the funniest gags in the movie:
While trying to walk the walk to win the affections of Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger is informed of the health hazards of smoking. Later, at a bar/pool hall-type hangout, one of his friends offers him a cigarette and he declines, explaining, "No thanks, I found out they're bad for you."
"Really?" the friend responds with complete sincerity, then throws the whole pack away in disgust.
Absurdly, somehow, these two had gone their whole lives naive to the knowledge that cigarettes were unhealthy, and as soon as they were clued in, they stopped. That moment always felt so clever and original, to me.
But a decade later, I re-watched the movie to discover no such gag existed.
The scene was there, but all that happened was: she offers him a cigarette and he says, "No thanks."
in my universe, its called MAN-DEL-UH, not MANDELL-A
Watch it, or he might "burry" you in a shallow grave!
It's "Bayou Billy" all over again
It's Levi-OH-sa, not Levio-SAH
Wait...I thought it was Man-DELL-uh? I'm confused. XD
in my universe Mandela was a terrorist who blew people up and invented "necklacing"
I'm from the Berenstein universe
I'm still amazed by your video-store room.
This was great, you should do one on video games.
He should do it on everything in existence.
Yeah, everybody think there was Bimmy instead of Billy. Oh wait...
Like how I remember it was Kaidan that shot Wrex in Mass Effect when everyone is telling me the only person that can shoot Wrex is Ashley.
HandjesBreda probably joking but that's all dependent on who you sided with the most in the story
the scarecrow with the gun in the wizard of oz tripped me out and the fact that the witch doesn't say "fly my pretties" anymore lol
"Elementary, my dear Watson" is never actually said in the books. As well as "Play it again, Sam" (from Casablanca). It's just an example of something like one media outlet misquoting the movie and from there everybody picked it up and overblew it to worldwide proportions.
Interview with a Vampire becoming Interview with the Vampire.
The batman scene was wahl picking it up and it showz his face the scene was in the theaters just like joker sitting up at the end after the credits but not in the video release
I remember a scene in "The Wizard of Oz" where Dorithy finally wakes up at the end of the movie to see her family waiting for her regain consciousness as well as a doctor.
When Dorithy comes to she says, "I had the strangest dream... and you were there and you were there." I remember her pointing to the doctor and saying "I never seen you before." Now that line is gone.
Rikk1825 it's possible you're remembering one of the many TV shows, cartoons, etc that made jokes about that scene.
Isn't that from Futurama?
No, it's from The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets Hit By a Car". Bart points to Lionel Hutz and says, "You I've never seen before."
Happens that way in Rocko's Modern Life. Joe Murray, the show's creator is there for no reason and Rocko says, "...and you i've never seen before."
Joe replies, "You're off model Kangaroo boy."
I have one of my own, from a video game. Anyone familiar with the game _Alley Cat_ on the Atari800? As a kid, I could have sworn that I somehow crossed over to some other level, some completely different house, with different graphics and everything. My then-best friend even said to me something about "that weird house".
But it never happened again! And I could never make it happen again either! I remembered it so well for a long time, and it must have been some kind of secret, but nothing I looked up online made any reference to it at all.
Did I imagine it?! Including my friend talking about it? What the hell was it?? It couldn't have been just graphics glitches, because I'm pretty sure it looked like a house.
I know this is really obscure, but if anyone could help out with my own personal video game Mandela Effect experience, I'd like to know.
I remember the deleted Batman scene where people get upset about the Joker dollars!
I always knew it was Looney Tunes, thanks to my Dad. He is one big fan of the animated shorts and loved to point out those things. Warner Bros. Looney Tunes was to sort of parody/rival Disney's Silly Symphonies. WB also had Merrie Melodies too. All music related to the titles. If I remember right MM had a more Disney feel to it and LT was straight up, well, Looney.
I always found it interesting how people were convinced that Darth Vader said "Luke, I am your father" or Star Trek with "Beam me up, Scotty."
Christopher Martin please tell me you're trolling. xD he does say I am your father to luke.
actually he says, "No, I.. am your Father." thats it
Yeah. But not "Luke..."
weird @-@
or "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin to do."
Shazam is the alternate name of the DC character Captain Marvel. The 2019 movie titled Captain Marvel is based off of the Marvel character of the same name, whereas the Shazam movie is based on the DC character. Confusing as fuck, I know.
Yeah. I always hated how that played out but I was too young then and it was two companies probably competing
Oliver Hayhoe Plus the Shazam TV show was based on the DC character.
Dc Captain Marvel is decades older than the Marvel one
That's really confusing...
Yes.
I have a very distinct false memory of the Xbox/Ps2 game of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I remember after fighting the ring wraiths on weathertop I kept dying because I'd been poisoned from bat bites and had no healing items, so I had to give up the game. I replayed the game many years later only to find that there are no bats in the game, or poison for that matter. Shit's crazy.
The one I really remember and share with you is that Berentstain Bears was spelled: Berenstein Bears.
One day when I was walking down the street I tripped and fell and some guy helped pick me back up. I though I had my wallet with me, but when I got home I didn't have it
So wait....did you cross dimensions or did the other guy?
Funny. Something similar happened to me but the outcome was the opposite.
Bilge Khan lol
TheLegendaryDankFighter thought*
+Bilge Khan You had a wallet that you didn't have?
What about Pikachu having a dark tip on its tail?
Nation of Masturbation As much as I think the ME is a thing, I believe this dark tip only happens in an episode where Maggie turns into Pikachu for about 2 seconds and the tip of her tail is dark.
yeah i remember that to wtf!?...
Nation of Masturbation I never remember him having a tip. Guess y'all are evil invaders from another dimension
but i remember he did omg is my life a lie am i not the me that is the me that was from this demension that were in now!?... :o
That's because his ears have dark tips on them, so we assume his other appendage does as well. Honestly, all this "Mandela effect" stuff is rather reasonable.
Looney Tunes threw me for a loop too. Not because of a faulty memory, I just wasn't sure. Now that I think about it, it works perfectly since it's paired up with Merrie Melodies.
There's also Frebreeze, Sketchers, OxyClean, Bragg's, all of these have been changed.
The thing about Joker's face being on the money: I have previously heard that the Joker's face is totally on the money in that scene. You're most likely right.
Speaking about Batman: I do remember that scene when a gotham citizen unfolded a dollar bill a saw the Joker face on it and ever since I also watch it when its on TV hopping to see that scene. Also, I remember when Gordon discovers what its laughing from the dead Joker it a little bag, I remember gordon opens the bag and find out a little red thing makin the laugh sound. Please tell me there is others out there that also remember this
I remember that. Little walking teeth right?
In the fight he throws chatter teeth after a punch. Gordon finds a laughing box in a bag.
Yes but if you watch the movie now, the scene got cut before Gordon can open the bag, whyyy?
Since when has editing ever made sense? In that case the actual product may have not been credited, in which case technically you shouldn't use it in a major scene.. either that or revealing the gag might be against the product's advertising rules. It's kind of why you see people using "COLA" in movies because real products have rules.
Never saw those, but I was probably 7 when that movie came out, so my attention span only lasted through the action scenes. .
Why its called Loony Tunes because it was apart of "Merrie Melodies" Cartoons
Wasn't Merrie melodies Disney? EDIT: No, that was Silly symphonies. Mandela effect again..
Silly Symphonies was Disney.
Yeah, you had to have music names on all cartoons for some reason
Haha x)
Most early cartoons were animations along with music.
For the longest time I thought it was "Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong's Quest" but it's actually "Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Kong Quest" I felt so stupid after figuring that out, and I know I'm not the only one.
The Red Guy I remember thinking this for about a year back in the 90s. Diddy's Kong Quest is a much better name though. Not only is he on a Quest to find a Kong, it's also a play on Conquest. And that's fun.
That wouldn't be the last time they do something like that. In Donkey Kong 64 there is "K. Lumsy" and "B. Locker"
The Red Guy yep. i read it properly as a kud. its Diddys Kong Quest
Invader Zim King K. Rool
The Red Guy It was actually intended to be named "Diddy Kong's Quest". But they changed it before release. I still remember the screenshot with the old title in a Nintendo magazine back then.
When I was a kid, the TV network broadcasted a kids show called "Kloak" ("Sewer"). It was about this guy who was trapped in the sewers under Stockholm, because there had been an transdimensional-alien invasion of the sewers. The Aliens had managed to capture Time itself in the Sewer and they would never grow old and never die.
And the show was about this guy and some kids trying to defeat those Aliens. It was epic and awesome, kinda like a swedish Dr Who.
And APPARENTLY I was the only one watching it! No one in my age remembers it!
I remember seeing Disney's Aladdin as a kid in the movie theatre. Distinctly, I remember seeing the genie's lamp crumbling at the end. When we got the VHS of it, the scene was completely different; nothing like that happens to it. I thought, maybe, it was an alternate cut of the movie. I believed that for decades. About a year ago, I saw The Duck Tales movie, where that exact thing happens to that genie's lamp. Turns out I combined the two "freeing the Genie" scenes from those two movies. I guess my brain just works like WinZip and combines common elements from movies. Just like when Bruce Willis saved the world in Deep Impact...
The spelling of Looney Tunes has always made sense to me due to the context of the similar Silly Symphonies and Merry Melodies series. I would question whether "toon" was even in popular use before Roger Rabbit, obviously years after the old Bugs Bunny stuff came into fruition.
Also every Looney Tunes episode starts off with a... you guessed it, a Looney Tune!
HippoCrisisGaming Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes, exactly
HippoCrisisGaming maybe people got Looney tunes mixed up with Tiny toons
HippoCrisisGaming Toons*

Man, James, I'm really admirative about your collections. Video Games, movies, all set up in awesome rooms. That's what I love about american houses, basements ! Here in France all we have is creepy caves where you can't do shit but store wine bottles... which is cool in a way but is not as cool as collection rooms !
Cheers from Europe !
Who remembers nesquik tasting good? Now it tastes like shit...
Yeah, your original tastebuds are now in another dimension
I dont like much if any of the cereal I liked as a kid. I think around 13-14 (2003-2004) is when the health nuts started forcing them to make it all healthier changing the ingredients. Not because I grew out of it.
I always loved Strawberry Quick
I am not sure anymore if MTV ever played actual music videos...
It's probably the milk you're mixing it into.
what the fuck man? like or dislike? where are the stars rating? and why just youtube? where is the "broadcast yourself" slogan?
For me, one of the biggest is Dolly Braces in Moonraker, the Bond film from '79. I made a video on that topic a couple of month ago. Weird phenomenon!
DutchBondFan This is one of those ME's that actually makes more sense the way we remember it (Dolly having braces) than the way it currently is. At least that episode of the Simpsons where comic book guy gets swooned by a girl with braces seems to think so.
Me too.
The plot thread makes way less sense now.
Hold up....Curios George NEVER had a tail?
What the hell makes you crazy fuckers think he had a tail?
I think it's just monkeys have tails. So obviously he had a tail. Many of these seem like false standardizations. The spelling of Berenstein vs. Berenstain is because in most names ending with -stein/-stain we see the former. Thus we unconsciously mash them together.
BagelBeard nope apparently not
BagelBeard nope
I saw this cartoon years ago at school and he had a tail. I remember it.
i remember seeing anakin skywalker in ep VI with a beard and gray hair
There was an experiment done a few years back where people's brains were being scanned very in-depth while they were looking at a few different images. A computer program tried to not only tell what image they were looking at, but recreate the image based on brain activity. One that really struck me was an image of a bird flying through the air. However, the background would be different depending on who they were scanning (blue sky, clouds, a forest), and the bird was even in a different perspective for one of the subjects. Just shows that even as we are watching something, our brain is already filling in unimportant details, sometimes completely synthesizing them.
This should have been a "You know what's bullshit!?"
DefunctNinja that character wasn't very popular.
XDarkFableX aww, come on!
Okay I'm almost certain curious george had a tail and I do remember a movie that had Sinbad as a genie.
Do you know there was an octopus scene in Goonies.For years no one believed me . Thank God for UA-cam.
there was but it was cut. but because of an editing error, the asian kid (data?) still told reporters about fighting a huge squid in the cave.
And adding to Kevin's comment, pics of the cut octopus scene were included in the Goonies Storybook.
Roth Sothy I've seen it on TV so many times over the years but only once when I was younger did I see the octopus scene. it may have TBS or something too young at the time to remember. It was definitely a TV cut tho.
I think the Looney Tunes thing is because of the spelling of Tiny Toons.
Yeah, the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts started off as comedic musicals before branching out to just comedy in general hence the 'Tunes' spelling, but several decades later Tiny Toons came along and they switched up the spelling for it.
I always thought that the names Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies were supposed to be parodies of Disney's Silly Symphonies.
Yes it does, Tiny Toon Adventures.
what?
This is what came to my mind as well, it's very likely.
Remember when Mandela Effect had better facial animations?
I never had this memory but many people remember the Tom hanks film "big" having an alternate ending with Elizabeth Perkins wishing to be a kid again and being introduced as a new student in hank's school. in the actual ending, she just drops him off at his house, he turns back into a kid as he walks toward his house, looks at her one last time, she smiles at him and then drives away.
One very common example I've seen is a false moment from Return of the Jedi: when the Ewok with the hang glider crashes to the ground, many (myself included) distinctly remember that, immediately after crashing, he is also crushed flat by an AT-ST walker- but in fact he does not!
However, this one has a pretty easy explanation: a walker DOES appear directly above him, and for a brief moment it looks like its foot COULD come crashing straight down onto his head, but instead it touches down on the ground behind him. Most likely our childhood selves saw the foot about to drop, briefly feared that we were about to see him squished, and later remembered the fear more easily than the real happening.
I 100% remember there being a promo add for Curious George where he was swinging by his tail. I remember watching a episode from when i was young and he definitely had a tail.
Dolly's braces in Moonraker.
Until somebody explains that, I believe the Mandella effect is real.
I remember vividly in the episode of Batman TAS Christmas with the Joker Batman says "my turn" after the Joker throws a pie in his face. I watched it recently and he didn't say anything it was just an awkward pause
Want more confusion? Shazam! (2019) and Captain Marvel (2019) are based off of two different comic book characters both named Captain Marvel.
TheInfectedHunter Nuh-uh.
It's implied that he thinks the two movies or of the same character, which they are not.
Although IIRC the DC Captain Marvel is actually called Shazam now due to the very weird trademark issues involved with DC owning a character called Captain Marvel, his normal comic has been called Shazam for a very long time.
kidthorazine that is correct, but even though the titles have changed DC's Cap is still called Captain Marvel in the comics.
He's been called Shazam in the comics since the New 52. Unless they changed it back again recently.
