I remember in the late 90's when Leonard Nimoy died so I was highly surprised when I saw him in Fringe!
Also, I remember Jamie Lee Curtis played the role of Zhora in Bladerunner.
"That be in the butt, Bob"
Turns out to be true, just not worded that way.

I thought Dave Chappelle did the spelling bee gag where they made people spell "niggerfaggot"... only to find out later it was apparently Donald Glover, AKA Childish Gambino, and hardly anyone knows about it.

Everybody remembers Gennaro as going to bathroom when T-Rex eats him. In fact, he was just sitting on the toilet cowering and his pants were up.
shareGeorge Burns says: "Say Good night, Gracie." She never actually responded with "Good night, Gracie."
She would say "Good night."
I distinctly remember scenes in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) that, in this current reality, never existed. The last time I watched the movie a couple years ago was the first time those scenes had come up among the missing for me, and after doing some searching about it on the internet, I found that tons of people remember the exact same scenes that I do.
I don't remember the Scarecrow ever having a pistol (nor any other kind of weapon, for that matter) in The Wizard of Oz (1939). The incredible weirdness of seeing the Scarecrow with a pistol about a dozen years ago is what led me to learning about the "Mandela Effect" in the first place. About 6 years ago I had my older sister come over to watch that movie (she's seen it many times, like most people have), and I was curious to see if she'd notice that the Scarecrow was packing heat. I didn't say anything at all about it to her beforehand, and as far as I know, she'd never even heard of the Mandela Effect. When we got to that scene she practically shouted, "He has a GUN??"
My ex-girlfriend's (Kate's) mother's all-time favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. She owns the VHS tape and has watched it countless times over the decades. Kate is fascinated by the idea of the Mandela Effect, but her mother flat-out rejects it as pure nonsense. When I first discovered this particular Mandela Effect I told Kate about it, and she was surprised because she didn't remember the gun either, so she told her mother about it. Her mother scoffed at the idea that the Scarecrow had a gun, so Kate told her to play her tape and see for herself. Her mother did so and was flabbergasted. She still rejected the notion of the Mandela Effect though, despite having no logical explanation.
Many people report that the Scarecrow never used to have a bow tie too.

I never noticed the bow tie, but I doubt I would have noticed that anyway. I have no doubt that I would have noticed the Scarecrow's gun though, since I've been interested in guns since I was a kid, and have always liked trying to identify them whenever I see them in TV shows and movies. The Scarecrow's gun that somehow now exists in the movie is a poorly-made fake gun prop that isn't even designed to mimic the appearance of any real-world make/model (nor even a hypothetical real-world gun, since it's just molded from a single piece of material and doesn't even have chambers in the "cylinder"), so that would have made it stand out even more to me. It's less realistic than the die-cast zinc SAA-style cap guns that were popular when I was a kid.
Sorry, yes. I meant the Tin Man. Was distracted earlier when typing.
shareI remember when Yankee great Joe DiMaggio was highly indignant about reports of his demise, which were circulating a day or so before he actually did.
shareKing George V of Britain was given a lethal injection of opium by his 'doctor' late Saturday evening, because 'he was going to die soon anyway', and they wanted to make the Sunday Times. The last words of the King, uttered to that 'doctor', were reportedly "God Damn you'.
His heir (thankfully) didn't last even a year on the job. The ruling elite made short work of him, and good work it was.
Of that 'doctor', Lord Dawson, it had been said :
Lord Dawson of Penn
Killed many men.
That's why we sing
'God Save the King'.
Long before the Mandela effect, i noticed:
Mandela dying twice
Berenstein bears

I accept the logic of fake memory, yet still seems so real.
