• Bayside High is Zack Morris’ Dream World

  Share

  Before Saved By The Bell became the early 90’s staple, it was an 80’s Disney Channel teen sitcom called Good Morning Miss Bliss. After 14 episodes, Good Morning Miss Bliss was re-invented for NBC, where Saved By The Bell began living. Some of the characters, including Zack, Screech, Lisa, and Mr. Belding stayed on while others were recasted. With the change of scenery, Bayside High School became Zack’s fantasy world where he would escape to. On Good Morning Miss Bliss, Zack Morris was a dweeb and was picked on. But at Bayside, Zack became the cool kid, although the characters were mainly the same. Not to mention, the theme song fits this theory perfectly. The lyrics describe his humdrum life (“By the time I grab my books/And I give myself a look/I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by”), suggesting he'll be okay once he’s saved by the bell—or when he enters his fantasy world.

• Toby Flenderson IS the Scranton Strangler

  Throughout The Office, Toby becomes obsessed with the Scranton Strangler, a character that’s mentioned early in the show’s seasons, but becomes mentioned more and more with Toby’s character. Toby’s fascination with the serial killer increased when he was picked to be a juror on the Strangler’s murder trial. The Scranton Strangler was revealed to be a character named George Howard Skub, and Toby and fellow jurors were responsible for sending Skub to death row. During season nine, Toby feels guilt as he admits he may have sentenced the wrong man to die. He even visits Skub in prison, whom Toby mentions “gets so angry with him being there he ends up strangling him.” The theory believes Toby has nothing to lose, his marriage has ended, his workplace hates him, he even failed at starting a new life in Costa Rica. Not to mention, Toby is very well invested in creating murder mystery novels and podcasts. When visiting Skub in prison, perhaps Toby strangled Skub, as Skub was so angered by Toby’s presence, knowing Toby framed him in court.

• Count von Count Feeds On Kids of Sesame Street

  Share

  Now what’s more outrageous than many other conspiracy theories is this one here. The Count is eating children. To this theory, it explains why kids are constantly replaced on Sesame Street after visiting The Count. Thus, the adults are even in on the scheme too, as they all lure kids to Count’s lair mentioning they’ll learn math when really, he’s a bloodsucking vampire feeding on the kids.
• The Fresh Prince Is In Heaven

  Share

  Some people believe the Fresh Prince to be dead the whole duration of the show. This theory comes from the sitcom’s opening theme song, which states that Will was just hanging out chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, if you will—when some guys who were "up to no good" came along. As the song goes, he got into one little fight and his mom got scared, then told him he'd have to move in with his auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. But what if Will never made it to Bel-Air, and instead, died in the fight? These fans believe it was God who drove the “rare” cab to take Will to the Banks’ mansion—in this case, Heaven—which he refers to as his "kingdom."

• Gilligan’s Island is Hell

  Share

  Some believe the setting of Gilligan’s Island is actually Hell. The sinful inhabitants all perished in the crash of S.S. Minnow. According to this theory each character represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The millionaire Mr. Howell represents Greed, while his workaverse wife represents Sloth. Sexy movie star Ginger stands in for Lust, while innocent farm girl Mary Anne envies Ginger’s beauty and lifestyle. The smart professor is prideful because he can’t admit that he is unable to fix the ship or get them off the island. Skipper, symbolizes two deadly sins; Gluttony and wrath, because he’s always taking something out on poor Gilligan. And lastly, Gilligan is Satan. He’s constantly screwing up the rescue and best part of all, he always wears red.

• The Flintstones Live In A Post-Apocalyptic World

  Share

  Ever think if the Jetsons and the Flintsones exist concurrently? This theory says so. The Flintstones’ civilization was “bombed back to the Stone Age” during a nuclear war and its inhabitants were forced to start over. That is why The Flintstones use materials and animals to mimic very modern technology, like record players, garbage disposals and cars. Why would cavemen from the prehistoric past need garbage disposals and record players, if not to replicate a society that once was. The Jetsons, for their part, live in Orbit City, built above the clouds. Many people believe The Flintstones is happening down on Earth, while The Jetsons live above the clouds. The only thing dividing them is income. After all, both shows were made during a time when Americans feared constantly of a nuclear attack by Communist Russia, at the height of the Cold War.
• Breaking Bad Triggered The Zombie Apocalypse in The Walking Dead

  Share

  The crystal meth may just be responsible for the zombies in TWD. The meth created by Walter White becomes evidently popular across all of the country, and eventually the world. Some think that users who die from the meth, only rise up again in zombie form. There are many references between shows. In season one, Glenn of The Walking Dead drives a red Dodge Challenger, which is very similar to Walter White’s car. And when Walter goes to return his Dodge on Breaking Bad, the dealership’s manager is named Glenn. In season two of TWD, Daryl Dixon tries to bring down a colleague’s fever, so he looks for something in his brother’s stash of drugs. Pictured clearly at the bottom of the bag is crystal meth, the same of that in Breaking Bad. Even more suspicious, Daryl’s brother used to be a drug dealer before the zombie apocalypse and described his supplier to be “a janky little white guy” who threatened him with a gun saying “I’m gonna kill you, bitch!” which directly reflects Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad.
