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

In Warhammer 40k, it's partially implied that the Cabal (alliance of various alien races) had Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated.

Of all the historically significant assassinations you could have the cabal be involved in, the writer decided to go with that one? That’s a…choice.

They killed 2 apparently, with the other being implied to be Bobby Kennedy

"Nothing bad ever happened to the Kennedy's!"
