* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloGoToMars'': Done twice.
** First, the boys land in New Orleans instead of Mars, but mistake it for another planet because it's Mardi Gras and everyone else is wearing bizarre costumes. They don't find out otherwise until the thieves Harry and Mugsy, who are in the process of hijacking their rocket, inform them otherwise.
** Second, after landing on Venus, Orville initially thinks they're in Los Angeles, due to the lack of visibility. He's soon corrected by the local Venusians.

* ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'': In "How Will I Clean My Fur?", Steven makes two of these mistakes. First he thinks he's at home when really he's in someone else's apartment, then he thinks he's in the wrong story due to seeing a Anime/{{Pokemon}} centre (and the story is meant to be a CrackFic of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''), but really he's in the right one.
