Don't let captain disillusion see this.
[QUOTE=Aztec;52072404]Don't let captain disillusion see this.[/QUOTE] I'd love to see a crossover with other big youtubers with Captain D.
My personal example that comes to mind is something my brother and I have debated for a while, but neither have gone too far into researching. We both remember two characters on a mock news broadcast kind of show (or just two people sitting behind a desk facing the camera) and one character mentions that they are "macadamian" referring to their nationality or something. To which the other person replies "Did you say you were macadamian? That's nuts!" with a cheeky look at the camera. Now, I remember it as a skit from Drake & Josh and distinctly remember Josh Peck in a red blazer delivering the punchline (which is odd because I never watched the show, but my memory distinguishes it as something I caught while flipping channels). My brother remembers it as a joke from the show the Wrong Coast (whom also has a co-star wearing a red blazer). Neither of us has yet been able to confirm it from either show.
I've always remembered "Looney Tunes" as having "Tunes" in it's name, since it was a pun on "Toons" and "Tunes" (the earliest cartoons were musically themed, and it's naming is inspired by Disney's Silly Symphony shorts I think?) So I always find it a bit odd when people say they remember it as Looney Toons, even though it's a easy mistake to make when one is a child. I'm also glad James didn't take a "alternative universes!" twist on this video. I find the mandala effect as a memory error (humans are good at making those) more interesting than the sensationalist psuedo science "alternative universes!!1!" approach.
I don't think he really gets the definition of the Mandela Effect right. It's supposed to refer to a phenomenon where a LARGE GROUP of people share a SINGLE false memory of something, not just when one person remembers one thing wrong.
I've never heard anyone pronounce Mandela like that.
I always toss the Berenstain Bears to confusion with dialect or phonetic sounds, I can't think of the term off the top of my head. But since [I]stein[/I] is seen in a lot of dutch last names. We hear more [I]stiens[/I] than we do [I]stains[/I], at least in the US. Over time, our brains will be more comfortable remembering a stain as a stein.

Both were Warner Bros brands that were generally aired interchangeably as there wasn't a whole lot that made one different from the other. Looney Tunes was the more recognizable brand, however, so it tends to be used to refer to all WB cartoons from the 20s-50s. Ironically Merry Melodies is easier to remember [I]correctly[/I] and this mistake might've been less prevalent if it were the bigger brand.
I usually get confused when watching the army of darkness because there are different cuts.

IIRC the plan was for Merry Melodies to feature a different cast of characters than the Looney Tunes, but this plan seemingly didn't last long. But there was a difference between the cartoons, at least from around 1935 to 1943 (around 8 years). The Merry Melody cartoons were produced in color, but the Looney Tunes remained in black and white until 1943. After this, however, there is [I]no[/I] difference between the two brands except different intros. Also "Stein" endings is a lot more common than the abnormal "Stain" ending, so it makes sense that most people just accept Berenstain as Berenstein. I've noticed that a lot of these Mandela effect things come from the fact that the real spelling is usually weird in this way.

The monopoly man never had a monocle, but the stereotype of rich old guy in a tophat is usually accompanied with a monocle. So people never think about it but when asked would say "Yeah hes got a monocle." Or they're mixing him with Mr. Planters the peanut mascot who is drawn in a similar style (yeah I know hes still a peanut) and he has a tophat, cane, and monocle.
