  • Time Travel Jokes

    A Time Travel Joke is a joke that appears before it could have existed.

    Here's an example:

    In A Hard Day's Night, John Lennon, on the train, opens a bottle of Pepsi and, while the roadies are talking about Paul's grandfather, seems to be sticking it up his nose.

    Apparently he's making a parody reference to snorting Coke, before people even did that.

    Another one:

    In the Doctor Who story "Colony in Space" (1971), Jo Grant is talking with one of the colonists, who is talking about something breaking down. Jo says "that's all right... Jim'll fix it", and they giggle.

    Now, this seems to be a reference to the TV show Jim'll Fix It... except that it didn't appear until 1975.

    Anyone else got any?

    The problem with the reference to John Lennon is that people have been snorting cocaine for well over 100 years.

      I found a timeline at a drug rehab site that says it became popular in 1905.

      So it's also possible he was meaning exactly that when he was trying to shove a soda up his nose...

          of course when it comes to time travel jokes i do rather wonder if Keith Richards is part time-lord. that would explain how he's managed to live forever and not look any different for so long....

              Pretty much, I think.

              Keith Richards - voted "Rock Star Most Likely to Kick the Bucket Next" for the last 40 years straight.

                I saw the title and just needed to tell that joke, though I see we are talking about how Keith Richards is seemingly immortal.

                  How about every single fantasy show ever. Hercules talking about how the Earth is round and rotates the sun and knowing what a comet is, Faruz on Sinbad making dynamite, the new sinbad having the guy know cpr.

                    The ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round, so Hercules, being a Greek god, would know it from them.

                      There is one in Hercules, where Iolus gets struck by lightning and describes pretty much the modern world, with skyscrapers and airplanes. Although those moments are more tongue in cheek than anything else really. You also can't forget Falafel and his many ideas.
