* {{Disturbed}}'s SignatureSong "''Down with the Sickness''" is probably most known for the staccato scream-[[BuffySpeak thing]] that David Draiman does near the beginning and end (Oh-wa-ah-ah-ah!!). He's only done this technique possibly three or four times in the band's discography, but since the song has seen use in a number of film trailers and other media, the group's detractors have taken to calling them "The Monkey Noise Band".

** That happens to ''DragonBall'', which gets often mentioned to as "that show with spiky-haired dudes". The only spiky-haired characters are [[TheHero Goku]] and [[TheRival Vegeta]], sometimes [[BoringFailureHero Yamcha]], [[SuperPowerfulGenetics Gohan and Goten]], and all the aforementioned minus Yamcha plus [[FutureBadass Trunks]] when they're [[SuperMode Super Saiyans]]. And all of these but Goku and Yamcha don't appear until halfway through the series. [[UnusualEuphemism HFIL]], there are about as many "bald" characters ([[OverShadowedByAwesome Krillin]], [[ExtraEyes Tenshinhan]], [[DirtyOldMan Muten Roshi]], [[BaldOfEvil Nappa]], Piccolo kinda... Also Vegeta's ForeheadOfDoom went under MemeticMutation in Japan), but you never see this called "that show with the bald dudes". To be fair, they tend to stand out the most, but still, you'd think everyone in this show has ShonenHair by listening to some.
*** For what it's worth, Gohan and Goten are Goku's children, so naturally they'd have the same hair. And Trunks, Vegeta's son, doesn't even HAVE spiky hair (When not transformed, that is)!
*** Let us not forget how [[SmugSnake Vegeta]] has a habit of [[MemeticMutation yelling random numbers while crushing electronics in his hand.]]

** The series itself is pretty well known for having lots of BrotherSisterIncest (And [[FlirtyStepsiblings other]] [[KissingCousins kinds]] of incest). Except not really. There's ONE game with lots of incest (''Genealogy of Holy War''), and other than that, the GBA games have ONE incestuous pairing each, one is a girl that shows BigBrotherWorship and another a girl with a BigBrotherAttraction, but in both cases the brothers don't reciprocate. The third is TwinCest SubText, and this one is from both sides. But that's it. Sure, it's more than 95% of RPG series, but still not loads of it on every game as some seem to think.


Added DiffLines:

* Nintendo will ALWAYS be considered the gaming patron saint of {{Bowdlerization}}. Nevermind they have gotten past the NeverSayDie point long ago, and how in fact they're the more LENIENT company nowadays, with games released on multiple systems having less censorship on Nintendo systems (Or at least the same, but not MORE). Sure, they still censor some stuff every now and then, but no more than the others. Ironically, the most censor-happy company right now is ''Sony''. The same Sony who [[InformedAbility supposedly]] is DarkerAndEdgier than Nintendo.
* Speaking of Nintendo, their official magazine in Spain, ''NintendoAccion'' will ''always'' be considered to be extremely biased towards {{Pokemon}}. Yes, during the height of the Pokemon craze they had Pokecovers nearly every month, but that's more WolverinePublicity than actual bias. Same for having an extra mini-magazine focused on Pokemon. Nowadays they don't cover them much more they cover Mario or Zelda games. In fact, if anything they have a ''LegendOfZelda'' bias, with all Zelda games getting huge scores without exception (And ''TheWindWaker'' getting the only perfect score so far. Unlike Pokemon games.), talking about the sagas as if it was super-popular everywhere (Even on Japan, where, while not unpopular, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff is not THAT big compared to its Western fandom]].) and claim Link is the best character on all three ''SuperSmashBros'' games (In the first and third, he's currently at the lowest tier of the TierList. On ''Melee'' he's mid-tier.), yet nobody acuses them of favoring the Zelda series.

** For good reason. His mutant power is basically to fly with wings[[RequiredSecondaryPowers without problems]].

* An odd example in the case of Rogue and Gambit: Antarctica. Neither character will ''ever'' live that down. To sum up: After a long and convoluted series of events, the X-Men found themselves in an old base of Magneto's in Antarctica, where Gambit was put on trial for his complicity in the Morlock Massacre. As the story tells it, he was hired by Mr. Sinister to get the [[PsychoForHire Marauders]] together and lead them into the Morlock Tunnels. He wasn't even told what they were there for. As part of said "trial," Rogue was compelled to kiss him, and absorbed his memories of the incident, as well as the [[HeroicBSOD nearly suicidal self-loathing and guilt]] he was feeling over it at the time. End result? The base collapses and everyone has to make an emergency exit. Rogue grabs Gambit, flies him out of the base...and then dumps him into the snow and leaves him there. Despite Rogue being ''clearly'' [[NotHimself Not Herself]], and Gambit having justifiable {{Angst}} over this, fans have been crying foul over it for thirteen years as of the time of this edit...when they haven't been using it as an excuse to write ''mountains'' of HurtComfortFic that pushes Gambit into the arms of Wolverine, or Storm, or [[LittleBlackDress some other partner of their choice.]]

This belongs under comics. Witch Girls was originally a comic. This post is about the comics. There was an attempt to convert it into a film that didn't turn out as planned, and a plan to remake the short film that resulted, but...


* Whether as a ShoutOut, coincidence, or someone involved in the comic actually having something to do with the site, ''Witch Girls'' had two characters named Denora and Claudia who are quite similar to characters with the same name from the long-defunct fetish site "The Shrinking Sorceress."

* As long as we're on the subject of Cleveland, Art Modell, prior to 1995, was seen as a respected NFL owner whose big claim to fame was the inception of Monday Night Football. But after, he's remembered for taking the Browns away from Cleveland. Even worse, the city he moved to, Baltimore, should have known better, seeing as the owner of the Colts is just as remembered for taking that team away from Baltimore.

Gene Mauch was fired as Angels manager in 1982, likely because of his decision in ALCS Game Five, leaving in Luis Sanchez to pitch to Cecil Cooper with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, resulting in Cooper getting the game-winning hit. Mauch stuck with Sanchez because he didn't trust his best lefthanded reliever to not throw the ball away in that situation.

* Coca Cola is still ridiculed over New Coke. This despite the fact that the original Coke was already losing ground to Pepsi at the time, and that New Coke used the same formula as Diet Coke which was also outselling the original. Or that they switched back less than three months later due to the backlash. Apparently the stupidest thing a company can do is go with what looks like a good idea by the research and then quickly correct their mistake when it doesn't work.
