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 ==

* In the ''[[Lupin III]]'' movie ''Harimayo's Treasure'', Inspector Zenigata arrests the [[Big Bad]] while shouting out "You're under arrest, Lupin!". Lupin (standing on the other side of the room from the man being arrested) points out his mistake. Zenigata sheepishly admits that it's force of habit.

 

 

== 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}}.

* ''[[Passenger 57]]''. The protagonist uses the name of his dead wife when shouting at the stewardess—he doesn't realise this until she points it out later.

 

== 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.

* 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.

 

* ''[[Something*Positive]]'': {{spoiler|Fred, who is developing Alzheimer's, once confused Pee Jee for Faye, his dead wife.}}

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