Wrong Name Outburst: Difference between revisions

 

Only counts if it makes it to a final cut, so somebody calling a character by the actor's name in the [[Blooper Reel]] isn't one of these.

{{examples}}

== Advertising ==

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Corsair]]'', Canale does this ''twice'' (with the people in question in reverse). Amusingly he's more upset about it than either Ayace or Sesaam are.

 

 

== Film ==

* In ''[[Akeelah and the Bee]]'', the heroine's teacher calls her "Denise," whom she eventually discovers is {{spoiler|his dead daughter}}.

* ''[[Finding Nemo]]'': As they are about to be swallowed by the whale, Marlin shouts at Dory (who claims to speak whale) that "you think you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!", doubling up as a [[Meaningful Echo]].

* In ''[[Face Off]]'', {{spoiler|Archer (disguised as Troy) finds out that Adam, the son of Troy's ex-girlfriend, is also Troy's son, and Archer is reminded of his own dead son Michael, and calls Adam "Michael" while hugging him}}.

 

== Literature ==

* In ''[[The Heroes of Olympus|The Son of Neptune]]'', {{spoiler|Nico is determined to keep his recently-discovered half-sister Hazel safe, since [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die|his sister Bianca died in the original series]]. During a conversation, he begins to call her "Bianca", but corrects himself}}.

 

* ''[[Friends]]'': Obviously, Ross' "[[Idiot Ball|I take thee, Rachel]]", but a better example is Rachel's own "Greens don't quit!" to Joey when she tries to teach him to sail - on pointing out he's not a Green, she realizes she's turning into her father.

* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'' had such a moment, when Spy Daddy started losing his mind and Sidney had to pretend to be Spy Mommy.

* In the ''[[Lost]]'' episode "Walkabout", after Locke, Kate, and Michael are attacked by a boar, Locke accidentally (and conspicuously) calls Kate "Helen." Later in the episode in a flashback, we discover Helen is {{spoiler|the phone therapist he's in love with}}.

** Although he was more likely thinking of his ex-girlfriend of the same name.

* Variation from the ''[[Dollhouse]]'' episode "Vows": Echo gets ''her own'' name wrong. She's talking down her "husband" after he hits her, but the blow to the head causes her imprint to glitch, and she uses [[Continuity Nod|the name of her imprint in the pilot]].

* On ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', an increasingly distant and distracted Kelly calls her boyfriend Zack "Jeff," the name of her hot college co-worker. Understandably, the relationship does not last much longer.

* On ''[[Boy Meets World]]'', Cory [[Discussed Trope|discusses]] this with Angela when he suspects that Shawn and Topanga might have feelings for each other:

{{quote|'''Cory:''' Let me ask you this: In all the time that you were with Shawn, did he ever call out the name "Topanga"?

'''Cory:''' ''(flattered)'' In what context? }}

* [[Frasier]], giving his brother Niles a long-overdue rant on how he needs to stand up to his wife, ends up referring to her by his own ex-wife's name. While someone else might try to argue that it was a slip of the tongue, Frasier [[Freudian Slip|happens to be a Freudian psychologist]]: "Well, that's destroyed any credibility I might have had - Dad, do you want to have a go?"

 

== Western Animation ==

'''Marge:''' Sorry, force of habit. Lisa, [[Big No|nooooo!]] }}

** Another moment was when Bleeding Gums Murphy was saying his goodbyes to Lisa, a few other famous figureheads joined him, including [[The Lion King|Mufasa]], who called out to [[Kimba the White Lion|Kimba]], before quickly changing back to Simba (a reference to the controversy regarding ''[[The Lion King]]'''s apparent similarity to ''[[Kimba the White Lion]]'').

* An episode of ''[[Recess]]'' had Spinelli call Mrs. Grotki "Mama" while trying to keep her from slipping on a piece of junk in the parking lot.

 

** {{spoiler|Made worse by the fact he goes on to make romantic advances towards her.}}

* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', when Antimony falls off a bridge, Mr. Eglamore shouts the name of her mother (whom he loved). Reynardine, who also had loved her mother, also initially calls her by her mother's name, as does Coyote.

 

== Web Original ==

'''Sakura''': "Who the hell is Shaun?" }}
