** ''[[Film/BoggyCreek2TheLegendContinues Boggy Creek 2]]'' was actually the ''third'' ''Boggy Creek'' movie. Of course, the second film was made by different people, so this could be CanonDiscontinuity on the part of the crew who made the third movie.

''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Coupled with BilingualBonus; Raffi's surname "Musiker" is German for "musician," and there's no indication that she can play an instrument.

* Brazilian TV channel Globo broadcasts three soap operas every day except Sunday: 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 8 o'clock. The last one, however, rarely begins at a time starting with 8 nowadays (due to the news program that precedes it - the delay gets even worse during election periods). A common joke is to describe it as "the 8 o'clock soap opera that starts at 9".

* ''Series/AlienWorlds'': The blob-like animals in "Atlas" are referred to as scavengers, but are never shown scavenging on anything -- instead, their primary appearance shown them actively preying on living animals.

* Parodied in an early episode of ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun''; during one of their rooftop chats, [[CloudCuckooLander Harry]] muses "Why do they call it a fur coat? It's not really fur, and it's not really a coat". Tommy then explains to him that it actually is both those things.
* ''Airplane Repo'' '''is''', in fact, about repossessing airplanes. And boats. And an occasional helicopter. And other high-value assets. But mostly planes.

* ''Series/TheBoys2019'': As Butcher points out, translucent would actually still be visible.

*** {{Lampshaded}} in an episode where the characters steal a sculpture of a cougar from the college one of them attends: "Why does this school even have a cougar? Nothing here has anything to do with cougars." The [[CouchGag title card joke]] that week also says, "Pay attention. The title: ''Cougar Town'' almost makes sense this week!"

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Coupled with BilingualBonus; Raffi's surname "Musiker" is German for "musician," and there's no indication that she can play an instrument.

* ''Series/ZeroZeroZero'': The phrase "zero zero zero" is never used in the miniseries, and its meaning isn't readily apparent. It's actually narcotraffickers' slang for the highest grade of cocaine, which is itself a reference to the highest grade of pasta flour.

* Brazilian TV Globo broadcasts three soap operas every day except Sunday: 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 8 o'clock. The last one, however, rarely begins at an hour starting with 8 nowadays (due to the news program that precedes it - the delay gets even worse during election period). A common joke is to describe it as "the 8 o'clock soap opera that starts at 9".
** A teen soap(which has a different format from the rest, being closer to a TV series with several seasons), usually aired at 5 p.m., is titled "Malhação", which means "Workout" (usually at a gym). It was accurate only for the initial seasons. Most of the subsequent seasons, however, have ''nothing'' to do with gyms or physical exercises, being more centered on HighSchool settings.

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Greendale Community College has the North Cafeteria, which is in the western portion of East hall, which is northwest of North Hall, which is near the center of campus. Also, the English Memorial Spanish Center, named after Portuguese explorer [[CreatorCameo English Memorial]].

** Six human, ground-bound men (no pythons, or even snakes of any sort), none of whom are named "Monty," and they perform a sketch comedy show without trapeses, lion tamers, a ringleader, or any references at all to the greatest show on earth. That's pretty non-indicative for four words.

* ''Series/TheRealHousewives'' series features several divorced people and one could argue that since the show is a source of revenue, they are no longer housewives
* Two-thirds of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' airs on Sunday morning in the Eastern and Pacific Time Zones - in fact, in the Pacific, what's shown is a feed of the episode that finished filming 90 minutes before, making the ''entire'' title a misnomer (in the Mountain time zone, the program begins after the first hour has finished filming. Alaska and Hawaii get the episodes well later.). Also, NBC's ''Series/LateNight'' airs completely during the early morning, except in the Central, Mountain, Alaska and Hawaii time zones where it begins at 11:30.

** The Dothraki Sea is not even remotely a large body of salt water. Rather, it is an area of rolling grassy plains, also termed the Great Grass Sea, so named for its immense size and how easy it is to get lost in there. As a matter of fact, the Dothraki fear the actual sea, which they call "the poison water". The fact that they're willing to cross the sea to Westeros to fight for Queen Daenerys Targaryen shows their unprecedented level of devotion to her.
** Rhaegar Targaryen's RedBaron is "The Last Dragon" despite the fact that his two youngest siblings and his own youngest son all outlived him. However, he is called as such since he was the last known Targaryen to possess the positive aspects of his family, at least until his sister and youngest son TookALevelInBadass in the present day.

*** The SixthRanger of the season has the title of "Quantum Ranger". A quantum is a measured or allowed amount of something. In the context of physics, it is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents. None of this relates to the Quantum Ranger in any way.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter "The Doctor's Daughter"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E14TheNextDoctor "The Next Doctor"]]. Most of these have some sort of justification in-story, but the last is pure TrollingCreator. [[note]]The former is a young female soldier cloned from the Doctor's genetic material, the latter is a hapless man in Victorian Britain who gets the Doctor's memories imprinted onto his mind.[[/note]]

** The ArtifactTitle "Seven Kingdoms" originally refered to the seven independent nations of Westeros that existed before Aegon's Conquest: The North, the Mountain and Vale, the Isles and Rivers, the Rock, the Reach, the Stormlands, and Dorne (with the wall and the lands beyond it not considered part of Westeros). Following the Conquest, the Riverlands and Crownlands were separated from the Iron Islands and Stormlands respectively and Dorne was only added two centuries later when Daeron II married a Martell Princess. The Targaryens claimed authority over Dorne long before it became a reality, and even then made many concessions to the Dornish. This eventually created one kingdom with nine provinces. At the end of Season 6 the Seven Kingdoms is mostly an entity on paper. House Lannister controls the Iron Throne but The North has returned to the control of their hated enemies House Stark, who still claim their independence. The Iron Islands have remained defiant and set to launch a fresh campaign, the Vale has declared for the North. The Tyrell-Lannister alliance has disintegrated after Cersei had their heirs assassinated and the remaining Tyrells are now working with renegade Ironborn and the Martells to restore the throne to Targaryens back to power.

* In ''Series/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'' we are introduced four violent hoodlums who break into Todd's house and destroy everything in sight...named the Rowdy Three.

* The American Heroes Channel, a Creator/DiscoveryChannel affiliate, has gone through several renames to [[NetworkDecay keep its name relevant to its actual programming]]. Originally the Discovery Wings Channel, it started airing largely military-themed shows, so it was renamed the Military Channel. Later, it started airing programs about firefighters and such, so it was renamed the American Heroes Channel. However, it shows heroes who aren't American, i.e. British Commandos in World War 2.

* ''Series/TheNakedBrothersBand'' spends the entirely of every episode at least partially clothed.

** The term ranger comes from the Japanese series ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' in which ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' uses stock footage and costumes from. Many of these series' have the word "Ranger" in the title or some combination of the word "Ranger".
*** Also The term "Ranger" is idicative as the term has been used for law enforcement and military like The Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) and Army Rangers also Lord of The Rings' Aragorn was referred to as a ranger so the term could loosely mean warrior and not necessarily refers to a park or forest ranger.
** Series/PowerRangersZeo's main villain was KING Mondo, ruler of the Machine EMPIRE.
*** TheSixthRanger of the season goes by the title of "Gold Ranger" but his suit is clearly black. It does have some gold decorations like the ones on the other Zeo Rangers but that's it. Both of the characters who wielded the powers even wore black in their civilians outfits. To make matters stranger, the Gold Ranger's Sentai counterpart is considered a black Ranger.

*** Though name is probably meant to be ironic like calling a really big guy Tiny.

** Despite what the name implies, the eponymous organization in ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'' doesn't seem to be a TimePolice organization and is simply a 30th-century police institution that just happens to have a time-machine.
*** TheSixthRanger of the season has the title of "Quantum Ranger". A quantum is a measured or allowed amount of something. In the context of physics, it is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents. None of this relates to the Quantum Ranger in any way.

** ''Time Force'' featured the Silver Guardians, a privately owned police force that the Quantum Ranger was a part of. Their uniform is dark blue.

* ''Series/BlakesSeven'', for the last two of its four seasons, was noticeably missing Blake [[spoiler:(with the exception of the stunning final episode)]] and there usually weren't seven of them: the number was usually fudged to mean either six humans and a computer, or five humans and two computers. For part of the series, though, there were six humans and two computers, so... you figure it out.

* Data's pet cat Spot in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' is not a spotted cat, despite her name. (She's a tabby with light orange fur; female orange tabbies are very uncommon in real life.)
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' has these things called ''orbs''. For some reason they look like crystal hourglasses. Aren't orbs supposed to be spherical?
** They're also called the Tears of the Prophets, but don't look much like teardrops, either.
** For that matter, Sisko is called Emissary, which isn't really accurate. An "emissary" is a person who is sent somewhere to represent the interests of someone else. Emissaries are trusted to use their own judgement to achieve said mission. Sisko is told several times that he has to do or say something specific; he's just an errand boy and mouthpiece, not an "emissary".
** And the station isn't in deep space at all; it's quite close to an inhabited planet.
*** It's pointed out in one episode how "human-centric" the name is, as it refers to how far from ''Earth'' the station is.

** The eponymous "girl" in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace "The Girl in the Fireplace"]] never actually appears inside a fireplace. It's the Doctor who appears in her fireplace.

** It's difficult to say what [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E2TheWitchsFamiliar "The Witch's Familiar"]] has to do with the story, or even exactly which character this refers to. Even if it's taken to refer to Clara's allegiance with Missy (which would make sense), "The Witch's Familiar" is mostly about the Doctor visiting Davros, and consigns Clara's role in the story to being tortured by Missy irrelevantly in the background.
