Added example(s): from experience, did you know in Undertale's snail ranch in Waterfall, the snail with a moustache may or may not be named "Sam Byool" (the syntax is a little unclear)? Akinator, at least as of now, is TERRIBLE at guessing him despite Sam Byool being recognized by his database if you prompt him for it, because he guesses basically anyone else from Undertale BUT him.

Added DiffLines:

* GameBreaker: Akinator has a pretty comical blind spot to obscure characters from otherwise popular media; since a lot of his guesses will invariably be directed at more popular characters from it first, Akinator is pretty unlikely to guess more obscure ones unless he's ''really'' led into it. This, in turn, is pretty much one of the few consistent ways to "beat" Akinator.

* CommonKnowledge: None of Akinator's expected answers are fact-checked. They are based solely on what is the most common answer to the questions. As such, if enough people answer a question in a particular manner, Akinator will assume it to be correct regardless of basis in fact. He has even thought of the same character several times!

Not an example. It\'s a program figuring out who your character is, and a guy might get that question as well.

Not really an example in any way. Using memes from other sources doesn\'t qualify a work for \"Memetic Mutation\".
