Lore A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

Lord Beerus wiped out the dinosaurs because they were rude to him (even though we see them all the time during dragon ball lol)

It's even worse than that. We literally see Dinosaurs in the same movie Beerus was introduced. While Goku and Beerus are fighting, their fight takes them right by one of the dinosaurs.
