* ''Series/DeadRingers:'' One sketch has the cast of ''Downton Abbey'' pouring scorn on ''The Crown'' for its historical inaccuracies. But before Lord Downton can take his Tesla to London to complain at the House of Lords, he's informed he has to stay and entertain the Beatles, who are jamming in the living room with Oasis.

** For example, a 2019 French Yellow Vest protester is seen among the Yellow Turbans during China's Three Kingdoms period.
** King Louis giving Porsches to his nobles. They ask if they can have Lamborghinis next year.
** Alois Hitler (Adolf Hitler's dad) makes a cameo in the Three Kingdoms era (''way'' before he was born) to spank an eunuch. (This happens at around 6:14, if you're wondering.)
** In the first American Civil War video, George Washington shows up in a meeting held by Abraham Lincoln to discuss his strategy and claim he’s the best president of the US. In the second American Civil War video, the Confedarates are seen with a Music/{{BTS}}-themed calendar, and Wilmer [=McLean's=] wife Martha is seen using a vacuum cleaner.
** Young Henry VIII's toys included Power Ranger and Ninja Turtle action figures, a Game Boy, and an Etch-a-Sketch.
** The Russian Tsars have late 20th-century rocket launchers with which to dispose of [[OnlySaneMan annoying]] ministers, and Emperor Meiji has a Gundam. Later, when Stalin and his gang launch his [[WithCatlikeTread "quiet"]] heist, they're all armed with Cold War-era [=AKs=] and grenades in late 19th/early 20th century Russia.

Stories often confuse two or more time periods. For example, Renaissance dress may appear with 12th-century crusaders in a story set in Charlemagne's empire. Imperial Roman troops might have guns. Cavemen might be fighting [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology Dinosaurs]] to survive. This is [[OlderThanTheyThink not only a modern trope]]. Medieval artists, for example, routinely dressed Biblical figures in contemporary fashions, and the Greek myth of Theseus features similar confusion. Some critics think the very first writer to actually try to reconstruct past times as different from the current era was Sir Creator/WalterScott.

[[TropesAreTools This can also be done deliberately]]. A work might combine large numbers of anachronisms to create a timeless or surreal setting, where the exact era of the story (or the era the fictional world is supposed to be imitating) is both ambiguous and irrelevant, allowing the work's creators to freely introduce further anachronisms whenever doing so would make for a good plot or a [[RuleOfFunny good joke]].

* The ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama ''Invaders from Mars'' actually has some deliberate anachronisms, such as a character saying there was 49 states in 1938, when there was only 48, and someone repeatedly referencing the CIA when it wouldn't be founded until nine years later. This was due to the influence of "anti-time." Other mistakes, however, were less deliberate, like Creator/OrsonWelles' ''Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' broadcast being on October 31 instead of October 30.
