"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Have you ever been halfway through a handle of vodka, watching random poo poo on Netflix, when suddenly one of life's little coincidences presents itself to you? This is the thread for that! I have a couple to start:


Mindy's mom from Animaniacs, the woman who's never actually seen in-frame and whose lines mostly consist of "no, call me Mommy!", is actually the same voice actress as Mom from Futurama of Mom's Friendly Robots fame!

Bob from Bob's Burgers and Sterling Archer from Archer sound ASTOUNDINGLY similar! And in fact, there is an episode of Archer where he thinks he owns a burger restaurant, AND there is an episode of Bob's Burgers where Bob wears a suit and gets all kinds of undue respect! What a wild coincidence!


What other coincidences have YOU found in your media-consuming empty lives, GBS friends?

In Deus Ex, the twin towers are missing from the NYC skyline. The game came out 15 months before Bush blew up the towers.

there's no conspiracy, the developers just didnt have any room for the twin towers in the skybox or they just forgot. it had absolutely nothing to do with bush blowing up the towers in a controlled demolition. just a coincidence.

The pilot episode of "The Lone Gunmen" (a spinoff show from the X-Files) had a commercial passenger jet being remotely hacked and flown into one of the twin towers as part of a false flag operation by the military-industrial complex. Even better is that the Australian premiere broadcast was like a week or two before 9/11 :tinfoil:

It was only the one plane though, so it's not a very good coincidence I'll admit. Also the plane didn't actually crash :shrug:

On and for forever after 9/11 it was a 24/7 news machine on all channels. Sometimes the camera choreography got sloppy and you could see the reporter drop a surface lined with cocaine out of frame right after it cuts to them.

Not only is it a coincidence, the sinister conspiracy that it represents has been alluded to in other media such as the hard-hitting investigative TV program "The Family Guy".

Here's a good one for you guys - in an episode of the netflixvision program Luke Cage, there is a mention of a man named Fisk. There is a character named that in another Netflix program, and it means "fish" in some Scandinavian languages!!

Despite supposedly having different writers, production companies, casts and directors, Star Wars: the Phantom Menace and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 are both bad movies where the brunt of the action takes place a long, long time ago. HOW DEEP DOES THE CONSPIRACY GO?!

In the Adventure Time storyline where we see an alternate timeline where farmboy Finn gets the ice crown, Marcelline the Vampire Queen is there to watch him get corrupted by its limitless power. In that episode, Marcelline is voiced by Chloris Leachman.

In the famous Twilight Zone episode "Its a Good Life" about a small town with an evil boy with ultimate power, one of the neighbor women is portrayed by...Chloris Leachman.

I think this is on purpose.
