History Main / ChainOfCorrections

-->'''Austen''': Now, Adam. Speaking of film versions of ''{{Hamlet}}'', remember that one a few years ago with Creator/MelGibson?

** Played with in [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2016/03/31/call-the-ball this strip]], where ''all the corrections'' are ''also'' hilariously wrong.

* ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe'', at least the anime version, combines Chain of Corrections and [[VisualPun Visual Puns]] into a OncePerEpisode [[http://polarbearscafe.wikia.com/wiki/Puns gag]]. Polar Bear will misunderstand a word another character says, then rapidly appear in different costumes and scenery that suggest similar-sounding words. The extreme reliance on the Japanese language for these jokes probably means the series will never be dubbed.

* An issue of Magazine/{{MAD}} from 1955 featured a six-page comic called ''Gopo Gossum,'' written by Harvey Kurtzman and drawn by Wally Wood, which was a parody of Walt Kelly's ''ComicStrip/{{Pogo}}''. As this story parodied several aspecs of the ''Pogo'' comic, including the tendency the cast had to [[ComicallyMissingThePoint completely misunderstand everything that was said,]] it featured the animals deliberately misinterpreting words just for the hell of it, leading to this example:
-->'''Houn' Dog:''' Consort? What that?\\
'''Howland Owl:''' Any dang fool knows... a "consort" is where a bunch of musicians gets together and play highbrow music!\\
'''Albert:''' No! No! Tha's a ''consert!''\\
'''Churchy La Femme:''' A "consort" is this here factory they gets all different kinds tin-cans an' ''sort'' out these ''cans'' with this here machine called a ''con sort!''\\
'''Albert:''' No! No! No! No! Tha's a ''can sort!''\\
'''Howland Owl:''' ...A "consort" is where there's this here fella named "Con" who looked up in the air an' saw a flyin' saucer! An' when anybody asked "Who saw the flyin' saucer?" they said: ''"Con sort!"''\\
'''Churchy La Femme:''' No! No! Tha's "Con ''saw''-it!"

-->'''Herakles:'''You know you have to pass an examination to get into the electricians' union in Buenos Aires but all the exam questions are about the constitution.\\
'''Geryon:''' What do you mean the human constitution?\\
'''Herakles:''' No the constitution of Argentina except the last one.\\
'''Geryon:''' The last constitution?

* A Sunday strip of ''Pickles'' did this once. Two of the main characters did this in order to drive a third character to leave the bench they were sitting on.

[[/folder]]

'''Goody:''' Oh, no, I mean [[SexPistols anarchist]]. No, no, what's that name for someone who is out of date and does not matter anymore?\\

-->'''Austen''': Well, no, I didn't say that ... he wasn't ... He was Creator/PhilSpector.

-->'''Austen''': Well, no, I didn't say that ... he wasn't ... He was PhilSpector.

-->'''X-tacle #1:''' That's "HarrisonBergeron."

* On ''FibberMcGeeAndMolly'', the character of Mayor [=LaTrivia=] was subjected to these practically OncePerEpisode. They'd usually involve him innocently using some figure of speech, which Fibber or Molly (or both) would either take too literally or otherwise misinterpret, sometimes on purpose. [=LaTrivia=]'s subsequent attempts to clear things up would only create more confusion, making him increasingly flustered and confused and generally reducing him to [[{{Angrish}} sputtering, incoherent rage]] by the time his visit was over.

---> '''Brian''': That's ''StreetFighter''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Sleepy Time", whn [=SpongeBob=] goes into Sandy's dreams and joins her for some freefalling.

-->'''Sandy:''' Not "pair of shoes", [=SpongeBob=], para''chute''!

-->'''Rose''': No, that was BetteDavis.

'''Brian:''' ahh, ahhh, Willem Dafoe?\\
'''Peter:''' No, its Tom Berenger. We were looking for Tom Berenger. Well, thanks for playing, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.\\

* Basically [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbVylFKfisU&feature=relmfu this entire sketch]] from [=BriTANick=]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mephJf3-zYE&feature=related it's sequel]]

* Threads featuring these are very popular on Reddit.

-->'''Hamish''': ''[[JesusChristSuperstar Superstar!]]'' Aye, that was one of yours.

'''Lowell:''' Don't be silly, Roy. Dylan Thomas was the poet laureate of Wales. Bob Dylan was the star of ''GilligansIsland''.\\

* From ''FriskyDingo'':

* ''Series/TheElectricCompany'' ''lived'' for this. They did numerous sketches like this one, where Rita Moreno and Judy Graubert drove each other nuts:

'''Roy:''' I think you're confusing BobDylan with Dylan Thomas.\\

-->'''Sophia''': The chick from ''AllAboutEve''?
