* MisaimedFandom: The beloved [[https://youtu.be/G9hJK4fCq4U House Hippo]] PSA is the subject of this which is done in the style of a nature documentary explaining its habits, followed by a voice pointing out that although it seems "really... real", the house hippo obviously doesn't exist, and the same can be said about a lot of what's shown on TV. It was meant to teach kids critical thinking (and thus ''avoid'' being part of a trope itself) and to not blindly trust everything they see on television, but some younger viewers who were captivated by the fun "documentary" part stopped paying attention once it got to the boring part explaining the message, and completely missed the point of the PSA as a result. Many Canadian kids grew up actually believing house hippos were real because of this, with some of them even staying up late to look for them or leaving offerings of peanut butter toast and bits of string.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The "House Hippo" ad, as the narrator at the end says, looks "really... real." So much so that it caused a MisaimedFandom in some viewers, who ended up not believing said narration when it says the house hippo doesn't exist, because to a kid in the '90s/early 2000s, it looked too lifelike to be fake.
