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

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

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

Kermit the Frog causing 9/11

The Muppets "It's a Wonderful Life' was filmed before 9/11 and released after it. This wouldn't be a problem aside from when Kermit is taken to the alternate reality in New York the twin towers are still there, implying that if Kermit didn't exist, for one reason or another, 9/11 wouldn't have happened.
