Line 21:
** The above example pretty much only fits the trope to said expert alone, since people have been giving themselves and their children odd or out of place names for millennia, and fictional media ain't exactly a bastion of reality in the first place.
** The point is that one or two characters having names that seem out of place for their age or demographic is fine but it's implausible when the whole cast do.
* The humour in ''[[Cracked.com]]'' is often an example on this. You may laugh at how silly the, say, [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acracked.com+polish+movie+posters Polish movie posters] are, unless, of course, you happen to know that some of the pictures are not movie posters but, say, a comic parodying the film. Or, for that matter, how the Voynich Manuscript is described as undecipherable for all the ''wrong'' reasons.
** An article on Japanese versions of Western characters claimed that Luke chopped Vader's head off. Which he did. In the cave on Dagobah where, if you recall the scene from the movie, he chopped Vader's head off. It also claimed that ''[[Hellsing]]'' using the name Alucard was a clumsy way to avoid copyright issues over using Dracula, despite the fact that 1. Dracula is in the public domain and 2. in ''Hellsing'' Alucard is Dracula, which is explicitly confirmed when he reveals his true form and how he came to serve the Hellsing organization.
* The Agony Booth's recap of ''[[High School Musical]]'' made an error [http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/High_School_Musical_2006.aspx?Page=3 by saying that] Ashley Tisdale basically played an identical [[Alpha Bitch]] character on that "awful sitcom ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]''". If you're not familiar enough with the show to know that Ashley Tisdale plays the [[Foil|exact opposite character type]] on that show, you obviously haven't even seen a commercial for it, and [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|probably shouldn't be making judgments about it.]]
