* TechnologyMarchesOn: Barry's invention, the "Memo-Minder", was rendered obsolete on January 1, 1984, when the original AT&T [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System monopoly was shattered]], and customers could begin purchasing and installing their own telephone equipment, including affordable and easy-to-use ''[[https://recordinghistory.org/technology/answering-machines/the-1980s-answering-machines-take-off-and-then-crashes/ answering machines]]''.
** Then, by 2004, answering machines themselves would be shelved in favor of a cell phone's voicemail, which would in turn see a serious decline by 2014 with the rise of instant messaging (IM). In three decades, we leaped from hand-written memos, to answering machines, to voicemail, to IM.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Most will go into this movie only having seen the iconic "Old Time Rock and Roll" dance, so they watch the movie for this scene, and expect the movie to have that similar upbeat tone, but that scene occurs early in the movie and everything that follows fits more into the Crime/Drama genre than it does '80s Comedy.j

* MandelaEffect: Everyone knows about the iconic scene in Risky Business where Joel dances around the house in a shirt, socks and sunglasses. Except he wasn't actually wearing sunglasses in the scene. He's also wearing a pink shirt in the scene, while parodies almost always have the person wearing a white shirt.
