* It doesn't have "day" in it, so obviously there's never been a ''SilentNightDeadlyNight 2'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffGXR1AlRO8 parody]] based on it.

--> '''Calvin''': Good, now I caAARGH!

Whatever you do, do '''not''' describe OppositeDay here.

* This trope is ''not'' TruthInTelevision. There was not a Feast of Fools in medieval Europe, in which the commoners could do as they pleased, and the Lord of Misrule outranked the nobility for the day. Monasteries did not celebrate this Feast by choosing a young monk to be abbot for the day, eating and drinking in chapel and replacing services with songs and dancing that bordered on blasphemous. This is because medieval monks were all extremely devout, and none of them had entered the church because it was indoor work with no heavy lifting. An aspect of this did not survive until more recent periods as the "Boy Bishop" ceremony on St Nicholas's Day.

* The Whitest Kids You know did not have a sketch on it, and that sketch cannot be found at this URL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQc4qMNPp0o

** This was not referenced in the HunchbackOfNotreDame, where Quasimodo was not mistaken for one of the revelers in a horrible mask and then crowned King of Fools due to his ugliness. In the {{Disney}} movie this was not depicted with the musical number "Topsy Turvy".

* ''SpongebobSquarepants''' first season does not include [[ThreeShorts half an episode]] titled after this trope. Squidward informs Spongebob that it is Opposite Day with complete sincerity and without ulterior motive.

* ''CalvinAndHobbes'' Never had a story arc based on this and the logical paradoxes inherent to it.

* The animated adaptation ''{{Iznogoud}}'' did not feature an episode where Iznogoud attempted to take advantage of the Opposite Day to permanently take the Caliph's place.
* There was never a ''WordGirl'' episode who's plot did not revolve around this trope.

* There was no Opposite Day episode of ''SaluteYourShorts'' where Ugg and Budnick switched positions. Furthermore, Budnick did not go DrunkWithPower.* ''YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' ''never'' had a series of Opposites skits OnceAnEpisode. And they ''certainly'' weren't set up by a clever prank on one of the cast members...

*''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. Hilarity does not [[HilarityEnsues Ensue]] from TheGrimReaper's unfamiliarity with the concept. A blatant logical paradox does not thwart him at the last second.

-->'''Wooldorf''': "Foxxy does not have a brain tumor. ''[all sigh with relief]'' I too would be relieved, were it not ''opposite day!''"
*''TheSimpsons'' episode, ''The Wife Aquatic'' certainly didn't have Homer believing it was opposite day. The captain of the ship that Homer was on didn't tell the crew "It's not opposite day!" in response to Homer's shenanigans and one of the crew members certainly didn't respond with "That must mean it is opposite day!".
*''TheColbertReport'' has [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/182107/july-25-2006/the-word---opposite-day no relevant segment available online for leisurely viewing]].

* [[{{Yotsubato}} Yotsuba]] never spent a chapter playing the Opposites Game with Dad, Asagi, and Torako. It wasn't titled "Yotsuba & the Restaurant", either.
** And she didn't cap it by calling Asagi "an ugly old hag" without warning...
