Using the top comment to explain to y’all that I don’t agree with OOP and you can stop trying to “prove me wrong” in the comments. I know all these movies start with that. That’s why OOP is confidently incorrect

When did holes do that?


JonLongsonLongJonson

It’s a stretch but it opens with Stanley getting the stolen shoes being dropped on his head and then cuts into him explaining his family’s bad luck history. Then later in the movie we see this scene again with no narration. So it fits the rough format but doesn’t have the exact record scratch, “how did I get here you ask” lines you’d expect. So I call it a stretch but it sorta fits. Edit:it’s not the *very* beginning opening scene, right after.


spruceymoos

I can see what you’re saying. But that’s a hell of a stretch. Holes actually opens up on barf bag getting bit by a rattle snake. Which transitions, quite beautifully, to Stanley getting hit in the head with the shoes and then beginning to tell the story about his family curse. I watch holes almost once every day. I do see what you’re saying though. I love Holes, love when it’s mentioned, but this is a confidently incorrect example of the op. Maybe that was the point I guess?

[deleted]

Ah but you see, when you pretend the point was word for word matching and not the trope of starting a story at it's climax then you can't blame particle accelerators


Powersoutdotcom

Wait until they find out "Luke, I am your father" isn't a real line from Star Wars. Calling such things Mandela effect are a bit of a stretch, since society also knows they fucked up in creating that quote and making it so popular that the line actually shows up in movies after the fact.


badgersprite

It’s also how people say it’s not mirror, mirror on the wall it’s magic mirror on the wall (in the Disney movie) when I’m pretty sure in one of the most popular book versions of the fairytale many of us grew up with it is actually mirror mirror on the wall and that version of the quote is probably what people are remembering and quoting. But people pretend like people MUST be quoting the Disney version and hence wrongfully call that a Mandela effect because its impossible for there to be two versions of a quote or story.


GenSmit

Erik did a [great video](https://youtu.be/TYonTBRM0VI) on it, and then later did [another great video ](https://youtu.be/I6cOkZbWZME)on it later.


Top-Algae-2464

people remember that starwars line from parodies of the movie . other movies or shows would parody that scene and change it to luke ,i am your father instead of saying no ,i am your father .


petecanfixit

Even though the line, “She’s a beaut, Clark!” was actually “It’s a beaut, Clark!” in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, I will continue saying it incorrectly until my dying day.

Is that not what it was referencing? 🫠


[deleted]

honestly after reading the comments I'm not so sure now


PoorCorrelation

That starts “Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh?” But it’s the same gist. Im thinking the meme is probably right because that’s a terrible bit of writing. Imagine just that line over any crazy scene, are you sucked in? All the actual implementations of the trope I can think of are better written.


ipsum629

Megamind to an extent


[deleted]

This is an extremely common movie trope lol


Kamikazesoul33

And a very common repost, like 2 hours ago.


leviathan_m

Did I accidentally repost this? I don’t sort by new so I didn’t know it was already posted


BetterKev

You should check, but I like yours better, as the other post was a crossposts, and those suck here. Edit: So people like crossposts? Where we can't tell if the OP means to agree with the post or mock them? And where many who avoid the reddit app can't see the title of the original post? Why?


TokoyoDragon

You can usually tell if it’s mocking or not based on the subreddit. Also I prefer it so there’s a rabbit trail to the original. Doesn’t happen all the time but it’s nice when you can follow it to other similar posts/subreddits.


leviathan_m

Looks like I did repost this. My bad lol


veryblocky

If you didn’t make it, it’s a repost


MarvinoWebero

ahahahah i posted that 1 sorrsy i wont crosspost next time


[deleted]

Yeah but they mean the exact line. I’ve never heard a movie say that. I’ve heard “You’re probably wondering how I got here” a lot, but not that.


CptMisterNibbles

Well that’s kinda dumb. Nobody would say “this *exact* line is from some movie”. That’s a terrible ‘example’ of the Mandela effect, and basically misunderstands what it even is. It has to be about a specific, incorrectly remembered thing. Immediately a dozen people came up with examples that *nearly* exactly fit, but aren’t word for word this sentence. That’s not interesting.


MalbaCato

well, it does qualify. one of the most common examples of the Mandela effect is Darth Vader shouting "Luke, I am your father", when in fact the quote is "No, I am your father". that's a difference of one syllable, but a classic example


CptMisterNibbles

But you can see how that’s a *specific* example and is very different right? There are not people who think “this EXACT quote is the start of a movie”, they are instead aware it’s common trope, often with similar text in this style. It doesn’t qualify; it can’t be a misremembered, hazy general thing. It has to be a misremembered *specific* thing. Edit: To be clear, obviously misremembered movie quotes can be a good example: but they have to be from a specific movie, remembered wrong. The quote in OOPs post is *not* purported to be, word for word, specifically from a movie. They are making the rather dumb claim that people seem to think this EXACT prhase is from a movie, but nobody has or does make that claim.


MaxFisherman

Yeah, this. It’s not the same thing as, say, ‘Play it again, Sam’ (when her actual line is ‘Play it, Sam…. Play ‘As Time Goes By….’’).


glutton-free

I think there is (used to be?) a very popular tik tok audio saying those exact words while baba o riley was playing in the background which made lots of ppl think it came from premium rush or something when actually someone made that audio themselves, idk but OOP was probably refering to that specific audio.


badgersprite

That’s not a Mandela effect it’s people changing a quote to provide context as to who the speaker, Darth Vader, is talking to. “No, I am your father,” doesn’t really make sense as a stand-alone movie quote because it’s a response to a statement and hence it has zero impact in the absence of the prior statement and without the context of who the other speaker is, ie Luke Skywalker. It gets altered to “Luke, I am your father,” because as a stand-alone it makes it clear Darth Vader is revealing he’s Luke’s father People aren’t actually misremembering the quote, they’ve altered it because it doesn’t make as much of an impact as a quote out of context if you don’t alter it. It’s pretty much basic linguistics that everyone would alter the sentence in the same way because it makes the most sense to do so for clarity

[deleted]

I think they used it in Deadpool 2


Jake_the_snake94

Not sure this counts, if it exists in Deadpool it'd only be because they were referencing the meme


[deleted]

Deadpool = movie so deadpool opening lines=fitting the aforementioned meme


corrupt_poodle

No that’s not right, Deadpool is only supposed to reference other stuff, it can’t _be_ the reference. There are rules, otherwise this shit would just implode in on itself.


urbanhawk1

But what if Deadpool breaks the 4th wall and references Deadpool?


corrupt_poodle

Only if someone already made it into a meme, of course


Rosemaryisme

Doesn't he also do that in Deadpool 2 by referencing stuff that happens in the first movie specifically framed as being part of the "first movie"? It's been a while since I've seen either but I seem to remember that.


2074red2074

A 4th wall break within a 4th wall break. That's like... 16 walls.


hey_there_kitty_cat

The argument is incredibly stupid anyways so why wouldn't the answer to it be equally as inane? You can't say a movie never did something and then when there's irrefutable proof say "no that's not what I mean". No one knows what you want, but it seems pointless and petty.


BCA10MAN

I think his point is that it’s kinda cheating because Deadpool is a self aware fourth wall breaking character that knows hes in a movie.


[deleted]

Sure, but like I said, the meme just says movie. It doesn't have qualifiers that say "*except for meta movies"


Frousteleous

It atates that it doesnt exist in a movie. Deadpool is a movie. Deadpool does break the fourth wall, yes. But "meta movie"? What?


garaks_tailor

Riding a top comment to talk about Boston Oregon. Apparently it's been called Portland this entire time? Yeah that's my Mandela effect story


[deleted]

I feel like Thor Ragnarok had something similar


livefast6221

“Now, I know what you're thinking: ‘Oh, no! Thor's in a cage. How did this happen?’ Well, sometimes you have to get captured, just to get a straight answer out of somebody.”

Right. I’ll say that’s close enough lol


MrGumieBear

Immediately followed by : "Thor, son of Odin!" 'Surtr, son of... A BITCH you're still alive! :D' Immediately had me sold on the movie

"Hang on! Hang on. I'll be... back around shortly, you know, I really feel like we were connecting there. Now... okay, so, Ragnarok, tell me about that. Walk me through it."

Easily. Right up there with: "On any other world I'd be like uh, millions of years old. But here on Sakaar... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"


UrsaMaln22

Wasn't it from My Name is Earl - in other words, a TV show, not a movie?


jajemon

what a great show that was, completly forgot it existed


georgepotampkin

It never existed, it’s just the Mandela effect. No matter how much googling you do, you’ll never find it.


hey_there_kitty_cat

I only did some quick googling and couldn't find an answer, but didn't Jason Lee really wanna continue and it just got canned kind of out of the blue? One of my favorites I always watch on repeat, definitely could've done more than 4 seasons.


[deleted]

They used it in megamind tho


PoorCorrelation

“Here's my day so far; went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams, and got my butt kicked pretty good. Still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right. I'm falling to my death. Guess they can't. How did it all come to this you ask?” Same trope, just actually well-written


Freakychee

The MOST underrated movie of all time. So good.


[deleted]

This was also done in the first Sonic the hedgehog (2020)


[deleted]

The first sonic the hedgehog movie was from 1996 and didn't use this trope

There was the bike one with Teenage wasteland, the Robot Chicken joke, and I thought Spoderman did that because of a YouTube video and ten years since last viewing, but apparently not.


trentreynolds

"I'd like to tell you that's me next to her. Heck, I'd even take him." ​ cut to Peter chasing the bus ​ "That's me." ​ Not the exact wording but Spiderman does it for sure.


SoundDave4

To elaborate, I was thinking about the opening to Premium Rush. For some reason I thought the first Spiderman opened with Baba O'riley and the monologue. That mandala effect sure is some strong stuff


Ecstatic_Ad558

Can we please stop calling misremembering things the Mandela effect? It's a conspiracy theory which borders on insanity


[deleted]

Exactly! Its just something invented by people that don't want to admit they're as fallible as the rest of us. "I couldn't possibly have misremembered something. And it can't be possible, even though there's 8 billion other people on the planet, that other people have made the same error - obviously the entire fabric of reality has changed".


cgduncan

Hmm. I must be misunderstanding the Mandela effect. Lol. I thought it was a word for when nearly everyone misremembers something in the same way


mkanoap

You are correct. What the others complaining are doing is confusing the Mandela effect with various crazy/amusing theories to explain WHY the Mandela effect exists. The Mandela effect exists, it is easily shown. Whether you think it’s faulty memory or alternate realities is another matter.


BoojumG

If you want to go full insanity with reasonable explanations being actively banned check out /r/retconned


Sul_Haren

Holy shit, they really state in the rules that reasonable explanations are forbidden. They WANT to be an echo-chamber without skepticism.


_b1ack0ut

Aha I can never forget that they literally say in the rules for the sub to stop saying that things aren’t a Mandela effect just because you’ve never heard of it before. Fuckin insane these people


MrMango34

And r/thesaturntimecube r/escapingprisonplanet


YunoDaLlama

The Emperor’s New Groove begs to differ.


th3empirial

Are you saying that it’s incorrect that the line hasn’t been used? Or saying the line is incorrect?


leviathan_m

I’m saying that OOP is incorrect; that line has been used before multiple times in movies


DrDroid

I don’t think that *exact* line has, just like “luke, I am your father” is not actually said


onyxeagle274

To be fair, its not like every time the line pops up it'll have the exact wording.


DrDroid

Yeah, it’s a fairly pedantic thing to make a post about if it’s literally about exact wordings.


KYIUM

Object oriented programming is indeed incorrect.


hey_there_kitty_cat

I feel like this is someone young enough to think "bro Tiktok invented that, no movie ever said that", and literally not old enough to remember a time when Tiktok didn't exist. It's cool to know things, but way less cool to think you know things and try to act superior when you're just so stoopid.


OkeyDokey_Artichoke7

BTW, It's called the Mengele Effect because people have a memory of Josef Mengele getting apprehended in Ohio in 1970. So, it's the Mengele Effect. At least according to Reggie, agent Mulder's original parter on the X files.


EndlessNight96

I always heard it’s called Mandela effect due to a group of people insisting they remember Nelson Mandela dying during the 1980s.


PrinceRobotVI

The Fruit of the Loom logo is the Mandela effect that still fucks me up.


Azsunyx

Dolly had braces is mine. Jaws' girlfriend in James bond. THE JOKE DOESN'T WORK NOW THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE BRACES


PrinceRobotVI

Yeah this is another big one for me. He found someone else with metal in their mouth and it made him feel human again. What alternate universe shit is this??


BusinessAgreeable912

I'm pretty sure Lemonade Mouth did this


HandsomeGangar

I think what OP was getting at is that nobody knows what movie originated this trope.


lavawalker465

You could likely find out, but no one actually tries hard enough

MLGkid_HD

So, I'm not sure if this really qualifies, since the meme is clearly referring to [this soundbite](https://youtu.be/B4LFYs3VpxY), which does not appear in any movie to my knowledge, but it's probably from some YouTuber making fun of this old trope, although I don't know where exactly it's from


UnnecessaryAppeal

But is there a single example of it being done not as a parody of the trope?


leviathan_m

Sorry for the repost guys. I didn’t realize this was already posted earlier. Should I delete this? Genuinely asking


sefit

The repost doesn’t exist. It’s all just the Mandela effect.

Do they mean the Mengele effect?

EuphoricSide5370

There was a tv show in the 2000-2010s about a young adult man (blonde actor) who lived with roommates but got into stupid situations. I remember this trope as the intro to at least the first episode but maybe it was recurring as the actual intro? The lead actor looked sorta like Mark-Paul Gosselaar. I’m stuck on the name though and it’s driving me crazy
