While Zelda usually expands its universe instead of changing it, certain moments contradict previously established lore. Every Zelda game possesses plot holes, but some mistakes are more harmful and obvious than others....

At this point, Family Guy has done a ridiculous amount of parodies, satirical references, and obscure cutaway gags. The main character, Peter, has worked many different jobs and had many different life experiences, most referenced in the famous cutaway scenes. Sometimes his three unlucky children play a part in these. But they don’t often get their own space in the spotlight.

Despite this feeling like a specific and unique idea, alternate universes (also known as AUs) that involve school are very popular among fandoms and artists.
