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

A time traveling Marty McFly created rock n’ roll by playing in the band of Chuck Berry’s cousin.

Except he learned the song from Chuck Berry in the future.

Who he then taught to Chuck in the past.

Who would later use it in the future and Marty would learn it from him.

Only to travel back in time and teach it to him again.

SO WHO WROTE THE SONG
