  (#4) Daenerys Lays Waste To All Of King's Landing In The Penultimate Episode Of 'Game of Thrones'

  The Joke: In an episode from 2017 called "The Serfsons," the Simpsons find themselves in Springfieldia, an alternate fantasy universe that is demolished when a fire-breathing dragon wreaks havoc.

  What Actually Happened: In the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, Daenerys Targaryen surprises everyone by burning King's Landing in a move against Queen Cersei. Though Dany's attack on Cersei is somewhat expected, her actions take out countless innocent commoners, which goes against her history of benevolence toward innocent people.

  (#20) Stolen Sugar Truck

  The Joke: Lisa begins to feel threatened by Allison, a new student, because she is smarter, younger, and a better saxophone player than she is.

  Their rivalry reaches a climax at the school's diorama contest where Lisa plans to sabotage Allison's entry. The episode's subplot sees Homer steal a large pile of sugar from a crashed truck, and begin selling it door-to-door. He keeps it in the back yard and it eventually melts from the rain.

  What Actually Happened: Someone actually stole a sugar truck. In 2009, two kids were arrested by police in India for stealing a sugar truck from a person actually in charge of delivering the sugar. The kids were actually in charge of cleaning the truck and took it while it was parked at the cleaner/boss's house.

  No word on whether or not they planned to sell it door to door.

  (#7) Prince William's Receding Hairline

  The Joke: In a series of flashbacks in "And Maggie Makes Three," The Simpsons reveals the cause of Homer's gradual hair loss. It seems his go-to reaction after discovering Marge is pregnant is to panic and pull out his own hair. Maggie is the final straw, rendering the beloved TV dad completely bald as he tears out the last of his locks while letting out a blood-curdling scream. 

  What Actually Happened: Prince William and wife Kate Middleton welcomed three children from 2013 to 2018. With each subsequent birth, William's hairline receded. Internet sleuths pointed out the trajectory of Homer's hair closely matched that of Prince William's.

  (#19) Flaming Moe

  The Joke: Homer tells the local tavern owner Moe about a secret cocktail that includes cough medicine and fire that he calls a "Flaming Homer." 

  Moe steals the recipe and renames the drink the "Flaming Moe," and begins selling it at his tavern, betraying Homer in the process. The drink is a success and Moe becomes famous, even Aerosmith drops by to perform at his place!

  What Actually Happened: Andy Heidel, the owner of a bar in Prospect Heights, NY, called The Way Station, just happened to have a bottle of Robitussin behind the bar when someone brought up the Flaming Moe. He grabbed the 'tussin and mixed it with Pernod, Jagermeister and a Bacardi 151 floater and set it on fire. He and his friends got shmammered and the real-life Flaming Moe was born.
