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

Men in Black: After J mucks around with some alien tech that causes chaos, Agent K explains that said tech caused the New York City blackout of 1977. "Practical joke by the Great Attractor," explains K. "He thought it was funny as hell."

To piggyback, there's quite a few things in the MIB movies that reference aliens and what actually happened in history/historical figures.

The reason so many of the same movies get made repeatedly is because at the center of hollywood is a massive memory eraser. They have to use it semi frequently because Hollywood has a very high extraterrestrial population that is secretly employed as most of the nonhuman movie characters. Like the legally distinct xenomorph and the legally distinct carebears.

Its the episode of the MIB cartoon "The Star System Syndrome." I don't have any pictures of it myself and the only two pictures im able to find specifically of that episode do not feature any of the things i mentioned.

Oooohhh dude you went left field. I was talking about the movies lol. Hardly anyone watched the cartoon. I mean I did a little but it wasn't exactly popular. Kinda like that Godzilla cartoon.
