Tyop on the Cover - TV Tropes

Moer thun meats thee aye.

"There's a typo in a Nintendo game, let alone a fucking Double Dragon game, and it's the first screen!"

— The Angry Video Game Nerd, on seeing "Bimmy and Jimmy" in the intro to Double Dragon III's two-player mode

Decsrbie "Tyop on the Cover" Here— Dammit!

There's a tyop— er, typo, but it's not just buried in the body of the text. No, it's in what should be the very most obvious spot, right there on the cover of the book or album or the headline of the newspaper or the opening credits of the movie. Like a zit. You don't even have to be a Grammar Nazi to see they got it wrong. Not that we don't all make typos — there are probably a copule on this page — but this is the cover we're talking about. You'd think even the laziest proofreader would have noticed at some point, right?

There is actually a valid psychological reason that this happens as often as it does. Our brains have an inbuilt tendency to automaticallly corect th speling as we read (see?), which makes it easy to read around typos. And when it comes to titles and headlines, we naturally assume that for something as big and important as that, of course somebody else would have caught a big obvious mistake, right? So if they're not careful, or if they're rushing to meet a deadline, even a trained professional copyeditor can overlook the biggest error until it's too late. Moreover, cover designs tend to be done at the tail end of the production process, so the time crunch can make it that much easier for an error to get through. Not to mention that the proofreaders professionally employed to spot mistakes in body text may not even be consulted on things like titles and covers, for the aforementioned "we'd have to be complete idiots to misspell the title" effect.

This trope often serves to embera—embaras— embarrass distributors of official materials, as pretty much the only thing they're supposed to do in regards to the distribution is make sure that everything is correctly spelled. On the other hand, if they catch the typo and fix it, it just makes the printing including the typo more collectible.

Keep in mind that the typo must be on the cover (or the equivalent) to qualify for this trope. If it's hidden in the end credits, it doesn't count.

If the misspelling is done on purpose, then it's Inherited Illiteracy Title. Bonus points if the typo creates an Accidental Innuendo.

Advretisnig

According to the advertising, John Cena, when not wrestling, runs a "weigth loss" business.
A commercial advertising Downy "Unstopables".
- However, this was corrected in the UK - where Downy is called Lenor - the product is called Lenor Unstoppables (with the extra P) there.
Reese's Minis commercials refer to the product as "popable". The correct spelling is "poppable".
Parodied in a commercial for Teen People Magazine: a cheerleading squad visits a fellow cheerleader who is hospitalized with a broken leg and in holding up a letter block each to say "Get well", they instead end up with "Get Whell".

Amine and Magna

In the first three episodes of Amagi Brilliant Park's anime adaptation, when the opening starts and the book first opens, it reads "It's not a fairy tail". However, later episodes use the correct spelling, "It's not a fairy tale".
The color illustration for chapter 98 of Ayakashi Triangle is an Alice Allusion with the series title in fancy English letters, but it's spelled "Ayakashi Traiangle" ("triangle" transliterates into Japanese as "toraianguru"). This was fixed in the English and Spanish versions.
During one of the intermissions in the Japanese dub of Beyblade V-Force, Draciel F is mistakenly named "Dracel F".
The 2000 DVD release of The Castle of Cagliostro refers to Lupin's rival as "Inspector Zanigata", instead of "Inspector Zenigata".
- Likewise, the trailer for the Funimation dub of Lupin III: Dead or Alive spells "Goemon" as "Goeman".
Several episodes of Chargeman Ken! have their title cards misspelled, such as Episode 44, "Beat the Fake Ken!". It should be written as 研の偽者をやっつけろ！but on-screen it's written as 研の偽物をやっけろ!◊, with wrong kanji for 偽者 (both 偽者 and 偽物 are pronounced "nisemono", but the former is used for impersonating a person, while the latter is used for making fake objects, like counterfeit money. They should have used the former in the title card). やっつけろ (yattsukero) means "defeating someone", but due to a typo it's written やっけろ (yakkero), which is not a real word.
Chrono Crusade was originally romanised as "Chrno" Crusade, purely by accident, even though the Japanese title properly transliterated the word as "Kurono". They fixed this in later releases, with the offending o highlighted in flames.
- This fact didn't stop the significant chunk of the Western fanbase that had seen the manga and/or anime through fansubs from absolutely refusing to accept the correct spelling for years, insisting that North American licensor ADV was the one that got it wrong.
  - The German publisher for the manga revealed that the licensor actually insisted on the wrong spelling, so although they originally announced it as "Chrono Crusade", they had to publish it as "Chrno Crusade". The kicker? The anime was published at the same time in Germany - under the name "Chrono Crusade".
The Hindi dub of Doraemon calls one episode "Everyone Are Jealous of Nobita!", which should be "Everyone Is Jealous of Nobita!".
Dragon Ball
- Akira Toriyama's original title page illustration for Chapter 229 titled the series "DAGON BALL", which was corrected in the sixth printing of the kanzenban and the full color release.
- The English release of the anime has one title card read as "The Spirit Canon" – it's about Tenshinhan's Tri-Beam, which is also called the spirit cannon.
Gunbured × Sisters: Ghost Ship's tankoubon can't quite seem to decide whether the Engrish first word of the title is supposed to be "Gunbured" or "Gunbared", and ends up using both at various times on the inside and chapter covers.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? has a Spin-Off yonkoma titled Days of Goddess in North America. It was originally titled Days of Goddes in Japan.
The back cover of the Kurokami DVD set boasts the slogan "DESTORY DESTINY".
Magic Knight Rayearth: The back cover of the Anime Works DVD volume "Sleep" lists episode 40 as "Magic Knights and the Clam After the Storm". Referenced by fanfic.
One Piece:
- The English credits for Episode Of Alabasta use the 4Kids spellings "Zolo" and "Miss Groundhog Day" instead of the uncut terms "Zoro" and "Miss Marry Christmas".
- Funimation's release of Episode 50 has a weird example. The title is spelt on-screen as "Usopp vs. Daddy the Parent! Showdown at High!" but Luffy reads the correct title "Usopp vs. Daddy the Father! Showdown at High Noon!"
- The 'Season Four: Voyage Five' DVD cover has numerous spelling errors.
- Manga Entertainment made several very significant errors on the DVD cover for their frist One Piece Movie Collection, including misspelling character names, numerous grammar errors, calling the second film "Adventure Of Spiral Island" instead of "Clockwork Island", and mentions English dubbing, 5.1 sound and special features that were not on the discs.
- Even worse about the Manga UK movie releases was that these problems extended to the subtitles as well. In addition to translation errors, there was no consistent spelling of names and terminology, there were issues with grammar and at one point it looks like a transcription note was left in by mistake.
- Bandai Namco are also guilty of this. The spine for the European DS release of One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP1 says "Unlimlited Cruise".
Pokémon the Series:
- One episode has the English title referencing the cowboy ballad "Git Along, Little Dogies" [sic]. The title card moved the comma down one line so that it read "Get Along Little, Pokémon", which changes the meaning completely.
- The infamous episode where Brock forced Ash to dress up as a Pokemon to save a pretty trainer's carnival act is titled "It's Mr. Mimie Time!"
- The title card for the episode "Snubbull Snobbery" was originally misspelled "Snubble Snobbery".
The Robot Romance Trilogy's guide book, the Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection, spells "Combattler V" as "Con Battler V". The book also misspells "climax" as "crimax" many times, even though it's correctly printed on the cover.
The opening of Samurai Pizza Cats misspelled "Samuri" at one point.
The spine of Funimation's SAVE release of Shangri-La says "PROPERTY TITLE GOES HERE: The Complete Series".
ADV Films' collected boxset of the Slayers movies misspelled its own tagline (when the individual DVD releases had spelled it correctly): "One's cool, One's hot; One's busty, The other's not!" The re-release accidentally left the "t" out of "busty".
The English title card for the Tamagotchi! episode "Cheery Cherry Blossoms" misspells "blossoms" as "bloosoms".
The spine on the DVD-box for Tenchi in Tokyo reads "Tenchi in Toyko".
Transformers: Energon gives us the episodes "Scorpinok" (which should be "Scorponok"), "A Tale of Two Heros", "Improsoned Inferno", and "Deception Army" (which should be "Decepticon Army") (the latter two were corrected on the DVD release). (See also The Transformers below.) The TFWiki lampoons "Improsoned Inferno"'s screwed-up title by having its random-article image say "Og!" instead of "Go!"
- Earlier, Transformers: Robots in Disguise gave us the title "Ultra Magnus: Forced Fushion!" in the episode's original broadcast.
At least one pressing of disc 3 of The Vision of Escaflowne had this rather bizarre cut-n-paste typo. There are other printings of the same disc that were correct, however.

Asain Amination

Happy Friends: The title of Season 5 episode 22 is "炸弹在身边" ("Bombs are Everywhere"), but the title of its official YouTube upload misspells it as "炸蛋在身边" (turning it into "Fried Eggs are Everywhere"). The incorrect Chinese character, "蛋" ("dan"), has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character "弹" that should go in its place.
The YouTube channel for English-dubbed episodes of King Shakir has a series of uploads called "Your Choices". While the thumbnails spell it correctly, the upload titles misspell it as "Your Choises".
One poster for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf misspells "Wolf" as "Walf".

Comic Boks

The trade collection of Army of Darkness Vs. Hack/Slash has "Hack/Skash" on the spine.
The Avengers #85 and #141 mention the Squadron Sinister on the cover, though it is the Squadron Supreme that appears in both stories.
The jacket of the hardcover collection of the first few issues of Avengers Academy talks about "these five young heroes" before describing each of the six students.
There's one trade paperback of Captain America comics that, if you believe the cover and the spine, collects the entire "Scourge of the Underwolrd" story.
Cerebus the Aardvark has its origins in this trope. "Cerberus" was the intended name of a fanzine. As Dave Sim recounted:
Dave Sim: "Not to worry," I said, somewhat less than eager to reletter the logo and figure out how to squeeze in an extra letter and transpose two others, "we’ll just say that Cerebus is the name of the cartoon aardvark mascot."
The Daredevil issue that introduced Elektra spelled her name as "Elecktra" on the cover.
The Eternals vol. 3 has issues 1-5 numbered as part of a six issue mini-series, while issue six and seven show there are seven issues.
Tales of Suspense #44 announces on the cover that Iron Man is battling "The Mad Pharoah". And, just to prove it was no fluke, the mistake is repeated in larger letters on the title page. Marvel repeated the mistake a few months later with Fantastic Four #19, which introduced Rama-Tut, the "Pharoah From the Future."
The first issue of Marvel Two-in-One infamously has a typo which transformed the title to Marvel Two On One in the corner. To make things worse, the Thing was the star of this Team-Up Series, and the guest character appearing in that issue was Man-Thing.
One collected volume of Powers is apparently named "Cosimic".
S.H.I.E.L.D. #3 has one "variant" cover with the caption "ISSAC NEWTON." Isaac Newton's name is similarly misspelled in promo copy for some other issues, but not within the comic books themselves.
The cover of Amazing Spider-Man #102 misspells Morbius' name as Moribus.
From 1991 to 2002, Superman used a "Triangle Number" system to indicate the chronology of the wider story taking place between the four core titles (Superman, The Adventures of Superman, Superman in Action Comics, and Superman: The Man of Steel), plus Superman: The Man of Tomorrow (published exclusively whenever a month has a fifth week) and nine one-shots published from 1996 to 2001 (as well as some decimals when other titles were embroiled in the Millenium Giants storyline). That said, there were a few printing errors during this era:
- Both Superman: The Man of Steel #35 and Superman in Action Comics #701 ended up with "1994/28" printed on the cover, when the former title was meant to be "1994/25".
- The Adventures of Superman #586 was labelled "2000/52" instead of "2001/3".
- Superman in Action Comics #775 (What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?) had no Triangle Number printed on the cover (it was meant to be "2001/13").
- The Adventures of Superman #598, one of the final issues to use the numbering system, was called "2002/6" instead of "2002/2".
Wonder Woman's Post Crisis home of Themyscira is in deed both a historical location and a mythological place, academically romanticized as Themiscyra. It has been for a very long time. Fans of Classical Mythology getting into Wonder Woman will invariably spend weeks spelling Themiscyra "right" only to realize it doesn't match up with their comic books.

One of the Evil Dead trilogy DVDs misspells Bruce Campbell's name as "Bruce Cambell" on the back cover.
During re-releases, the title screen of The Eye Creatures had "Attack of the", instead of "Attack of", superimposed on the original title, which already had "The", with the end result being Attack of the The Eye Creatures. It is thus affectionately remembered as such by B-movie fans and mocked on its episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
A rather nitpicky example happened in the fourth Harry Potter movie, where fans threw a fit after the teaser posters lacked a comma on its tagline (Difficult times lie ahead (,) Harry). The studio actually listened to the protests and redid the poster with the correct quote.

One DVD of Loose Shoes calls it "Loose Shoos" on the DVD menu.

Make A Wish: It says "braniac" instead of "brainiac" on the back. The character in question is not a maniac for bran.
Mexican Werewolf In Texas: They capitalized the T in "the" on the cover where it says, "Terror has just crossed the border." That would be forgivable if it wasn't for the back cover, which reads, "It's hunger knows no bounds." It is hunger knows no bounds?
One very cheap DVD release of The Monster Maker refers to the film as The Monter Maker.
The blurb of The Mummy Returns calls Brendan Fraser's character Rich. It's meant to be Rick.

Ray Dennis Steckler started making a straight crime movie, but when it wasn't working out, had two principals become low-budget superheroes Rat Pfink and Boo Boo - which would have been the movie's title, but the title artist read it as Rat Pfink A Boo Boo. Possibly this was interpreted as a pun on the mid-60s expression "a go go".

As old as print: an early anecdote goes that one of the first printed books, Codex Diplomaticus, was going to be printed without any errors whatsoever. On a bet, the contestor spent days poring over the text of the book, but didn't notice the massive typo on the cover - Podex Diplomaticus. The fact that Podex means 'butt' only makes it worse.
Pratchett's non-Discworld book The Dark Side of the Sun has a classic. The central character in the book is called Dom Sabalos. However, the publisher's blurb on the dustcover (hardback) and back cover (paperback) identified him as Dom Salabos. Similarly a character/location called The First Sirian Bank in the text is The First Syrian Bank on the cover blurb.
Discworld:
- Not on the cover, but the front inside flap of the Unseen Academicals jacket refers to "Lord Ventinari." The character's name is, of course, Vetinari, with only one N.
- Book club members in the UK were able to buy exclusive leather-bound Discworld books; two have had typos on the cover. Witches Abroad was subtitled "The twelth Discworld novel", and Maskerade was originally printed Maskarade. The latter was corrected and reprinted.
- Inverted in the blurb for the American edition of Interesting Times which describes Rincewind's hat as being embroidered with the word "Wizard", when in fact it's a plot point that it's misspelled as "Wizzard". Poor copy-editor. Some days you can't win for losing.

The British paperback of Isaac Asimov's Foundation (1951) went through many, many printings with the blurb on the back cover referring to "the Julactic Empire" even though this name appears nowhere in the text.

Goodnight Little Me (a 2013 children's book by Jennifer Dewing and Mary GrandPre). No comma after the valediction.

One paperback printing of E. E. "Doc" Smith's Second Stage Lensmen (plural) gave the title as Second Stage Lensman (singular). It's not hard to see how they were caught out, though, because it's singular on all the other books in the series.
The Swedish edition of Howard Jacobson's novel Shylock Is My Name was written by a man named "Jaobson," according to the book's spine.
Solid Gold Poop: The Troper's Guide to Toliet Humor]]. Only the compiler knows if this was intentional or not.
An early printing of the uncut version of the The Stand misspells the title of Book II as "On the Boarder" instead of "On the Border" as it should be. It's excusable that there are typos here and there in the text of a 1200 page book, but a mistake that visible is pretty incredible.
One edition of The Innkeeper's Song wrote the title on the spine as The Inkeeper's Song.
A deliberate example: there's a non-fiction book on philosophy whose title reads "There Are Two Errors in The The Title Of This Book". One error is that the word "The" is repeated twice. So what's the second error? Why, there is no second error! But that means that the claim of having two errors in the title is itself an error! But that means that there are two errors—so the claim of having two errors isn't really an error! But that means...
Your Golden Opportunity is Comeing Very Soon◊ by R. J. Haughnessy.

Kitchen Nightmares: Gordon Ramsay considers it a bad sign in one episode when the cover of the menu says, “Casa Roma - the Art of Fine Italian Dinning.” Unsurprisingly, it turns out the food is prepared just as carefully as the spelling. Later in the same episode, a server writes a sign advertising the day’s special as “Cecilian Chicken,” until the owner catches it and makes her correct it to “Sicilian.”

Art of Trance:
- The cover and label of the vinyl edition of Wildlife On One switched the titles of "Emerald Eyes" and "Haagen Daaz".
- The original release of the single "Madagascar" misspelled the title "Madagasga".
The Beatles:
- When Vee-Jay first put out the "Please Please Me" single in February 1963, they did so with a label that misspelled the band's name as the "Beattles", which was due to a handwritten error in the label's paperwork after they received the tapes.
- The album Jolly What! released by Vee-Jay had four of their songs: "Please Please Me", "Ask Me Why", "From Me to You", and "Thank You Girl"—the only four songs for which they were sure they held the rights (they released those songs as singles in 1963). Since they couldn't release an album with only four songs, they included eight more by crooner Frank Ifield. Also, the re-release had a picture of the Fab Four on the cover, listing the four songs of theirs that were on the album. And the same typo appeared in the liner notes of both covers: "It is with a good deal of pride and pleasure that this copulation has been presented." Considering that fans were being screwed out of their money, this might have been deliberate.
On the back of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean 7" single, the song title is written as "Billy Jean".
The cover for the vinyl LP of Skinny Puppy's Bites lists "Film" as the last track on Side 1, when it's actually on Side 2, as the record label correctly says.
Nirvana's Bleach credits both "Kurdt Kobain" (intentional example) and "Chris Novoselic" (only by In Utero he would use his birth name Krist, in the Croatian spelling).
Brand X, Phil Collins' jazz-fusion side project, just couldn't catch a break with this:
- For their first album, Unorthodox Behaviour, most CD re-releases misspell the title of the track "Running On Three" as "Running Of Three".
- Most of the CD releases of their second album, Moroccan Roll, misspell its title as Morrocan Roll (the vinyl copies spelled it correctly.) The only exception seems to be the Japanese release, which does spell the title correctly.
Camper Van Beethoven:
- They intentionally titled one of their songs on their self-titled album "Stairway to Heavan" - some sources, including Spotify, have "corrected" it to "Heaven".
- Their debut album was supposed to be called Telephone Tree Landslide Victory, but promo copies came back labeled Telephone Free Landslide Victory. The band decided to Throw It In and make that the official title because it was intended as complete nonsense anyway.
The Clash:
- "Train In Vain" was technically a Hidden Track on the original London Calling LP, but wasn't intended to be; the band decided to include the track after the artwork was completed. The original CDs have it listed as the final track, while the 1999 and 2004 reissues use the original artwork and therefore make no mention of it.
- The original CD issue of London Calling by credited "The Guns of Brixton" to Paul Simon instead of Paul Simonon, as well as listing the title track as being five minutes long instead of three.
Microdisney's The Clock Comes Down The Stairs Cherry Red reissue omits the 'The' from the title of the track "Money For The Trams".
Some versions of Oingo Boingo's album Dead Man's Party list the song "Heard Somebody Cry" as "Heard Someboby Cry" on the back cover.
The poster included with the vinyl edition of Highway Superstar's Endgame misspells frontman Alex Karlinsky's last name "Karlinksy".
The 1996 remaster of Thin Lizzy's Fighting has the track "King's Vengeance" incorrectly titled as "King's Revenge" on the rear sleeve and CD label, and misspelled as "King's Vengance" in the review inside the booklet.
Emilie Autumn's Fight Like A Girl has an odd example: the inner sleeve shows a piece of note paper headed "How I Sread the Plague today". It's handwritten, so it's not a typo as such, but there's no obvious stylistic reason for spelling it that way.
The cover for Rofo's Flas[h]light on a Disconight◊
"Frühlingstag" by trance duo The Argonauts was initially tyop'd as "Frühlingftag".
The back cover of the compilation Gimme Indie Rock Vol. 1 mistakenly lists Dinosaur Jr.'s "Little Fury Things" as "Little Furry Things".
Godzilla Legend, a collection of synthesizer covers of tracks from the Godzilla films, has the second volume labelled as Godgilla Legend II, which incredibly has never been fixed for any of the album's four different releases. You could almost excuse it since it's a Japanese album and the error is in English text, if not for the fact that Godzilla is consistently spelled correctly across the rest of the collection.
Jimi Hendrix successfully sued his British record label for a mistake in the first pressing of Electric Ladyland LPs that had them issued as Electric Landlady.
- Kirsty MacColl later named one of her albums Electric Landlady.
Country Music session guitarist/record producer Dann Huff likely has the most-misspelled name in Nashville, as far too many albums leave off the second N.
Tupac Shakur's final album was recorded under his alias, Makaveli, the Don of the Outlawz. He wanted the album to be called Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, and told his label as much. Unfortunately, someone screwed up the subtitling after his death and actually changed the official name of the album; instead of "Makaveli the Don presents Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory," the record became "Makaveli presents The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory."◊
Konami Game Music Remix Series Vol.1 Dracula X Remixies is spelled this way on the cover, CD inserts and CD and is often listed as the actual title, yet is spelled regularly in Vol. 2 Salamander Remixes, Vol. 3 Gradius Remixes, and Vol. 4 Beat Mania Remixes.
Ministry's The Land of Rape and Honey was reissued on CD by Wounded Bird Records after being briefly out-of-print. Said reissue lists the title track as "The Land of Milk and Honey". Given the word that's replaced, this could be taken as bowdlerisation, but that seems unlikely since the album title wasn't changed along with it.
The CD for tool's magnum opus Lateralus comes with a plastic dust jacket over the case which contains the track list on it, rather than on the CD case itself. Unfortunately the iconic title track is spelled "Lateralis".
The Vandals album Live Fast, Diarrhea has the title rendered as "Live Fast, Diarrea" on the front cover - the cover art was either a rough sketch by member Warren Fitzgerald for a concept that was rejected by the label or just stylized as such, and the words "check spelling" even appear in smaller letters above "Diarrea".
The cover art to Electric Six's Mustang depicts the back of a woman who is wearing a spray-painted jean jacket with the band's name and the album title on it, but the former is spelled "Eletric Six" on the jacket... Their name is spelled correctly elsewhere on the cover, though. According to Dick Valentine, this was a mistake that happened when they commissioned the artwork, and they decided to Throw It In both because it was funny and because it would have been too expensive to have the jacket itself redesigned and do a re-shoot for the photo.
The vinyl edition of Nuclear Hyde's Noomraker misspells Track 4 as "Accellerator (G-Force Mix)" on both the cover and the record label.
The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle, which they initially tried to pass off as a pun combining "odes"+"odyssey".
Some printings of Queen's Platinum Collection, a box set of their three Greatest Hits albums, apparently feature a song called "Too Much Live Wiil Kill You" on the third disc instead of "Too Much Love Will Kill You".
At least one DJ promo release of Spacecorn's "Popkorn" (a trance cover of Hot Butter's "Popcorn") misprinted the artist name as "Spacecrow"
One Led Zeppelin track from Presence is officially titled "Achilles Last Stand", without an apostrophe after "Achilles".
R.E.M.:
- The tracklist on the back of the original CD issue of Lifes Rich Pageant interprets the track sequence loosely. The album's title itself has one — it's officially "Lifes", not "Life's"— although in this case, it was a deliberate design choice by the band.
- The original CD and vinyl issues of Green have a faintly visible "4" sharing space with the "R" in both the album title and band name, and an "R" where the "4" should be for the fourth track; the former was a mistake that the band decided to keep, and the latter an intentional move inspired by the former.
The lyric sheet on The Bellamy Brothers' Rip Off the Knob album contains several typos, including "When the DJ says, 'callin' to win some cash'" instead of "call in to win some cash" in the title track. It also includes a re-recording of "Stayin' in Love" with Freddy Fender singing some of the verses in Spanish, but you'd never know that from the lyric book — on top of that, the verses that are included are out of order.
Certain budget CD reissues of Black Sabbath's Sabotage render the title Sabbotage on the disc itself. While that's somewhat understandable, given the title is sort of a pun on the band's name, on at least some copies, there's even a further typo within the typo: text printed on the disc itself leaves out the capital "S" in the already misspelled title, leaving abbotage.
The final track of Faith Assembly's Shades of Blue is supposed to have been titled "Rain", as shown in the lyrics, but is misspelled "Rian" on the track list. The typo'd title has been retained in all official material, including album reissues and the song's appearances on compilations.
Cappadonna's cover for Slang Pros[t]itution◊
Pink Floyd's Soundtrack from the Film More credits David Gilmour as David Gilmore. Though given the name of the film, it's been speculated that it could have been a deliberate pun.
On some printings of Starflyer 59's self-titled first album, the text on the disc itself reads "Starflier 59".
Some copies of Helmet's Strap It On erroneously list the song "Bad Mood" as "Bad Moon" - maybe someone thought of "Bad Moon Rising" and got confused.
Jethro Tull's first single "Sunshine Day" had the band's name spelled "Jethro Toe" on the label (though Ian Anderson has speculated that this might've been a deliberate move on the producer's part to avoid paying the band royalties).
The back of the Supercharged compilation lists Sum 41's "Fat Lip" as "Fat Up".
The logo for Touhou SOS misspells Yuuhei Satellite's name as "Yuuhei Sattelite."
A budget re-release of Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention has the album title as "UNHALF BRICKING" on the rear cover, with the song "Si tu dois partir" turned into "Is tu dois partir".
Some versions of Opeth's Watershed misspell "The Lotus Eater" as "The Louts Eater" on the back cover.
Pre-order copies of Weezer's 2019 Self-Titled Album (aka The Black Album) credit lead singer Rivers Cuomo as "Rivers Como". It especially stands out because of a stylistic choice to print the band members' names in white and make all other text black on black - Rivers' name is listed first too.
The Who:
- The American release of My Generation, their first LP, misspelled the surnames of Pete Townshend and John Entwistle — dropping the silent H from the former's name, and apparently inserting it into the latter's.
- The UK edition of the same album misspells the singer's name twice - first as "Daltry" and then as "Dultrey".
In Tally Hall's song "The Whole World and You", "stories" is misspelled as "sotries". Lampshaded in the video with a shelf labeled SRCEWS.

Mazagines

Rather infamously, Doctor Who Magazine misspelled Peter Davison's name as "Peter Davidson" on the cover when they announced his taking on the role. They acknowledged this in DWM 389, the issue dedicated to "Time Crash", where they finally wrote "Peter Davison is the Doctor!" And so is David Tennant! on the cover correctly and pointed out they'd spelled his name right this time. They later admitted in DWM 400 that this is the one mistake they'll never live down.
In 1991, Pro Wrestling Illustrated presented its annual Inspirational Wrestler of the Year honor to The Patriot. The article was accompanied by a photograph of that wrestler holding up his award plaque for the camera—a plaque that clearly identified its recipient as "THE PATROIT."

The Daily Mail often contains many typos, mispellings and missing words.

Los Angeles ABC station KABC-TV mispelled the name of its own newscast as "Eyewitenss News" in an on-screen graphic during a report on Chadwick Boseman's death.
German armistice negotiators arrived in France a few days before the end of the First World War. An American reporter over-reacted to this, thought that peace had been declared, and said so to his wire service, which flashed it around the country. The San Diego Sun duly printed the glad news: PEACE: FIGHTNIG ENDS. Picture.
Though the article itself didn't have a typo, Spin Magazine's official Twitter account once claimed that Fugazi were releasing "lost songs from 1888" - referring to the then-forthcoming First Demo, an archival release of their first demo sessions from 1988. It became something of a meme for a while, with the tweet getting joking responses about the band having been together for over a century, and vandals even adding Fugazi's first demo to a Wikipedia list of historical events that occurred in 1888.
The Valley News once misspelled its name as "Valley Newss"
This Yahoo! article from 2013 about Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accidental Racist" still has an unfortunate typo in the title.

One of the cards for Principal Snyder in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer CCG spells his name as "Principal Synder" in enormous fancy lettering. In an unusual example, the error was immediately caught by the publisher; unfortunately, the error had been approved by the copyright holder, and it would have taken far too long to get a second run-through approved.
One edition of the German 3rd ed. of Call of Cthulhu (the US Sixth edition) read H.P. Lovecaraft's Cthulhu.

The Storyteller's Companion book for Mage: The Ascension Revised Edition has "Mage Stoytellers Companion" on its spine.
Pathfinder produces 'Pathfinder Role-Playing Game' materials (basic game rules), and 'Pathfinder Adventure Path' materials (adventures for use in the game). Some early printings of their Advanced Class Guide (an RPG product) are labelled, very prominently, as an Adventure Path. Not on the spine - only on the front cover.
Racial Holy War: Not only is the cover art plagiarized wholesale from The Hills Have Eyes (1977), it misspells the author's last name, Molyneaux, as "Molynaeux."
A Palladium roleplaying game first edition had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangness on its spine.
The first edition of Wraith: The Oblivion had its logo printed in glow-in-the-dark ink, making it illegible under any conditions in which you might actually read the book. It also had two typos in the back cover copy.

Willy's Chocolate Experience: Thanks to the A.I.-Generated Artwork used in the promotional material (which so far is not very good at rendering text), the event's website was riddled with typos, hallucinations, and Perfectly Cromulent Words, beginning with the main header image announcing "Willy Choclate Experience." The flyer went on to promise "ukxepcted twits," "cartchy tuns," and a "pasadise of sweet teats", among many others.

Toise

From the original BIONICLE series:
- Carapar was mistakenly labeled Karapar on his building manual.
- The Mask of "Fate", whose power is actually related to performing feats and has nothing to do with destiny. LEGO never remarked on this and stuck to the nonsensical name.
Onua's name used to be misspelled as "Onya" on the main character page and in his header on the Bionicle 2015 site, before being corrected.
There exists an Edward Cullen doll whose packaging describes him as having "ming-reading" powers.
The back of the box of the first release of the Fur Berries toy line quotes the commercial verbatim, but writes out "Fur Berries hide" as "Fur Berrie's hide". Newer releases do not include this part as a result.
The 2007 release of Hot Wheels' Ferrari Enzo can be found with "Ferrrari" on the packaging.
The 2023 BIONICLE-inspired "Tahu & Takua" LEGO tribute set features a quote from former story writer Greg Farshtey on the back of the box, with his name misspelled as "Farstey".
Transformers:
- The high-profile Masterpiece Optimus Prime is truly "More than meets teh eye", according to the package.
- Another Masterpiece flub has Wheeljack's collector coin, meant to be placed prominently on his pose stand, identify him as "Weeljack."
- Beast Machines Mirage carries a "piasma mine blaster."
- Classics Megatron wields a giant "pulse canon."
- "Grappel Grip Mudflap" is either a misspelling or a way of avoiding trademarks. If the latter, then TF 2010 Solar Storm Grappel's American package got it wrong by naming him Grapple.
  - Even when Grapple is the correct name, such as with his Commemorative Series re-release, labeling him as "Auotbot Grapple" is still not right.
- The packaging of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Megatron refers to the Predacon ship as a "Preadcon" ship.
One mid-90s wave of X-Men figures from Toy Biz was described on the packaging as the "Muntant" Armor series. Much of this line was made up of unused figures from a cancelled wave of Iron Man: The Animated Series figures.

Vedio Games

The title screen for 2002: A Doom Odyssey, a mod of Doom (1993), features the phrase "Your'e ticket back to Hell." The 10th Anniversary Edition omits it entirely.
- Not to be outdone, the Doom mod No Hope For Life Episode 1: Back to the Fight misspells the episode's name as "Back to the Figth" in the in-game episode menu. It also misspells "Episode" as "Epsiode" in its text file.
The All Dogs Go to Heaven computer game on Amiga and DOS refers to Anne-Marie as "Ann Marie" and King Gator as "Gator King" in its cutscenes.
Episode 9 of Ambition is titled "The Marriage Counsellor".
Ancient Roman: Power of Dark Side: "Ancient" is written in Japanese as "アンシャント" ("anshanto"). That technically isn't incorrect, but does stand out to native Japanese speakers as an extremely unusual spelling, and given that the game's writing is full of similar oddities, most fans aren't willing to chalk it up as an intentional artistic choice. The normal way to spell "ancient" in katakana would be "エンシェント" ("enshento").
The katakana on the title screen of Apidya read "Abidja". Whoops.
The strategy guide for Batman: Arkham Knight gives the game's name as Arkham Knght.
Inverted example in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg: The song "G.I.A.N.T.E.G.G.!" spells out "Giant Egg" correctly, but the vocals consist mainly of the singers repeatedly saying "G-I-N-T E-G-G." Lampshaded in the official soundtrack's bonus track, which is a rehearsal of this song—at least one of the singers questions the spelling and asks if it's supposed to be "G-I-A-N-T E-G-G."
Bionic Commando (1988) has "You can shoot at wide range but reach is shoot" for the Short-Range Shotgun's description in the manual, "Ok, we are going to open the door of the boos's room" when unlocking the door to the boss of Area 3, and "This base will explod in 60 seconds" after killing Master D.
The cover of Blast Wind misspells the game's title as "Blust Wind" in the nonsensical text behind the game's logo.
This is very common to find in bootleg games, due to its nature and vague origin of it. Examples below:
- It's disputed that the title of the unlicensed Chinese RPG Barver Battle Saga has a typo on "Barver", because the English title uses "Brave" instead. Actually there's a municipality in Germany called Barver, but the game itself is set on a fictional place and never cites the name "Barver" in-universe.
- There's a bootleg port of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero for Sega Genesis called MK5: Mortal Combat ~Sub Zero~, and it has a stage named "The Wlement of Water".
- A SNES game called Pokémon Stadium (which has close-to-nothing similarity with the Nintendo 64 games) has the option "ARCADE MOE" on its menu. (The Sega Genesis version of this game corrects the spelling.) As well as EVERY Pokémon present in the game is hilariously misspelled as it probably had a limit for only five characters for every name written.
- A Soul Blade bootleg for SNES starts with "PUSH START BUTTOM".
- Squirrel King has its "continue screen" misspelled "CONTIUNE".
The Cheetahmen II prototype cartridges were recycled Action 52 cartridges with a gold sticker pasted over the label reading "Cheetamen II".
- On Action 52's game selection screen, two games are called Crytical Bypass (though this could be an intentional case of Xtreme Kool Letterz) and Alfred n the Fettuc (which is supposed to be "Alfredo and the Fettuccini").
The unreleased arcade game Clean Octopus has an alternate version titled Nigthmare.

The back cover of Downforce promises that the game is FASTER AND MORE DEVISTATING.◊
Some copies of Dynamite Slugger for the Neo Geo Pocket Color have "Dynamite Sluggaer" printed on the spine. Another NGP game has The Last Blade: Beyond the Distiny on the actual cover.
The DVD game Eamonn Holmes' Spell... (which was an Unofficial Official tie-in with the BBC series Hard Spell; as in, it was a spelling game, and it had Eamonn Holmes, but it wasn't Hard Spell) was hastily withdrawn after the producers sent a batch to host Eamonn Holmes to autograph, only for them to have misspelt his name on the cover as "Eamon Holmes"
Earthlock: The back cover of the original PS4 version says "Discover your hero within" in English, and "Découvrez le héros gui sommeille en vous" in French. That should be qui sommeille.
On the box for the original Europa Universalis, Napoleon is misspelled as "Nappleon" instead.

- Fallout 4 has a location titled Poseiden Energy Turbine #18-F.
Early copies of Final Fantasy VII call the game a "masterip ece" on the back cover. This was corrected in later print runs, making these copies more valuable for an already valuable game.

The annotation on the cover of Russian Essentials version of God of War I Collection mentions that in the first game you have to defeat Ares, "god of w ar".
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets spells Mabel's name as "Mable" on the back cover, despite having another description spell it correctly less than two inches away from the misspelling.
The Gnome Gemulets have disappeared! Help Jeff the gnome retrieve them and restore the forest's magic along with Dipper and Mable!
The Great Giana Sisters was originally intended to be titled "The Great Gianna Sisters", and the title screen of the game spells it that way. Supposedly they went with the typo-ed version on the box art as the official spelling so they wouldn't have to reprint the boxes.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is misspelled as "Lynyrd Skynrd" on the cover of Guitar Hero Metallica.
A lot of the spines for the box of Gundam Battle Assault are titled "Gundum Battle Assault 2".

As an Easter Egg, Minecraft's title screen has a 1/10000 chance to read "Minceraft" instead.
A 1982 DOS game named Missle Strike. Ouch. The word "missle" also shows up in help text, so it was a spelling error rather than a typo.
NamCollection, a Japan-exclusive five-game collection of PlayStation titles for the PlayStation 2, misspells the subtitle of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile as "Door to Phantmile" on the game select menu.
The side of the game case for the American version of Naruto: Powerful Shippuden calls the famous ninja in orange "Nartuo".
The entire baggy clothes line in Ninjala is referred to as "Buggy" clothes. The in-game descriptions, however, correctly call them "baggy."
In Obakeidoro!, the Party Blitz mode was initially called "Party Brits," probably due to misinterpreting the original Japanese text. This was corrected shortly afterwards.
The title screen for George Broussard's Pharaoh's Tomb credits him as "George Broussad." That's right, he misspelled his own name on the title screen of a game he created himself.
The arcade game Pharoah's Pyramid from Lazer Tron. It seems likely that this is an inadvertent misspelling that they simply ran with, as a later game from that company, Pharaoh's Fantasy, uses the correct spelling.

Power Blade's box misspells the titular weapon as "Power Balde" in one of the screenshot captions.

Rayman series:
- A UK budget rerelease of Rayman 2: The Great Escape (to promote Rayman Raving Rabbids) identifies the game as "Rayman 2 The Greeat Escape" on its spine.
- The American box art for Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge has the apostrophe in Hoodlums' in the game's title misplaced, making it seem like only a single Hoodlum is out for revenge instead of the group seen in the game.
The Resident Evil title for the 3DS is, if you go by the side of the box, Resident Evil "Revelaitons". When asked about it, Capcom's PR said they were very, very tired at the time.
In Resident Evil 2, the upgrade parts for the Desert Eagle .50AE are called "Mugnum Parts". This was corrected in the Updated Re-release.
There are two versions of Rock 'n' Roll Adventures' box art; one with all English, and one that has English and French text. The dual language version misspells 'and' as 'adn' and 'interactive' as 'intractive'. The English version has both words spelled correctly.

- On the arcade cabinet, Balrog is spelled Barlog.
- The bootleg Famicom port by Cony Soft goes by Street Figiter II Pro on its title screen.

The manual for Syphon Filter spells The Dragon's surname "Girdeaux".

It is appropriately named the Slough of Dispair.

Legend states that Ovomaltine is more commonly known as Ovaltine because of a misspelling: The person who filled out the UK trademark wrote down "Ovaltine" instead of "Ovomaltine," and the trademark office accepted it before they could correct it.

Google, of all things, got its name this way. The founders were searching for a name that hadn't been taken as a web domain yet, and Sean Anderson suggested the term for 10¹⁰⁰ (a 1 followed by 100 zeroes) could be catchy, plus suggesting a large amount of information. They checked and the domain name Google.com was available, so they promptly registered it— only to realize later the reason the name was available was probably that the mathematical term is actually spelled Googol. Googol.com was taken, of course, so the misspelled name stuck.

In this 1997 Snickers commercial, a groundskeeper for the NFL is dismayed when it's pointed out that he has misspelled the name of the Kansas City Chiefs in enormous letters in the endzone.

Aneme

In Hunter × Hunter, Gon's Signature Move is officially called "Jajanken" in-universe instead of the intended "Janken" (the Japanese name for Rock–Paper–Scissors) because he stuttered as he registered its name.
In-universe example in episode 7 of Is the Order a Rabbit?. Cocoa prints some flyers for "Rabbit House", the coffee shop where she lives and works part time.

Rize also says she didn't realize it until they mentioned it to her.
Nozaki and Miyako raised one example each in episode 9 of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, both of it caused by Maeno's incompetence.
- Nozaki wanted his old oneshot to be called Wavering Heartbeat (Furueru Kodou). Maeno changed Furueru to the more cutesy Furu-furu, but didn't get the "Kodou." Eventually, as published, the title became Shakey-shake Kondou^noteas a surname (Yuru-yuru Kondou).
- Miyako wanted the title to be Otsuka-kun no Jijou (Otsuka-kun's Circumstances), but Maeno transposed the last two kanji, making it Otsuka-kun no Jouji (Otsuka-kun's Love Affairs).
In Rave Master, Gale Glory accidentally misspells the name of his and Gale Raregroove's new business as "Demon Card" instead of "Demon Guard". He said he was up all night getting it ready, so a lack of sleep may have been a factor.

Only then does he discover that the printer accidentally omitted the 'k'.
In The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla, there is a minor plot point about a first-edition printing of the novel The Hogan... which has the misspelled title The Dogan.

One of Rob Grant's novels could cause trouble for cataloguers: Incompetɘnce.

In the Seinfeld episode "The Bubble Boy", George and Susan visit the bubble boy and get into a fight over a misprint on a Trivial Pursuit card; the bubble boy correctly identifies the Moors as the people who ruled most of Spain in the Middle Ages, but George insists (out of shallow spite because he had been losing the game up until that point) that as the card says "Moops", he can only accept that answer.
In one episode of Spaced, Sophie calls off a date with Tim because she has to work late fixing a typo on the cover of one of the magazines published by the company she works for. We're not told exactly what the typo is, but the fact that it was "Total Cult" magazine implies it's serious enough to warrant an urgent reprint...

Spın̈al Tap's Nigel Tufnel INTENDED to call his solo album Calm Caravan, but the 'a' and 'l' got transposed, and it ended up being Clam Caravan. This extends to the title track, which was included on the group's second real world album Break Like the Wind.

Web Anmaitiion

Revenge Films: In "Sister-in-law forces me to sign an agreement to receive inheritance but..." Mindy forged a letter of consent to give herself the right to her father's inheritance and tried to have her sister-in-law, Alice, sign it. However, Alice chuckled when the letter's title read, "letter of content" instead, joking that Mindy wanted to make social media content. When the FIL died, Alice brought the letter to expose Mindy at his funeral. When they took her to task for the typo, she diminished it without even denying it, which exposed her as the culprit. In the original JP version, the typo makes it read as "cohabitation form".^note
Mindy: What? Wait... OMG, it's a typo!
Ethan: You saying it's a typo means you're the one who typed this! So it's you!

Web Oniginal

The subject line of Keep Beach City Weird is "Dispatches of TRUTH from the Beach City Undergriund". Given the nature of the account, this may have started as an actual typo by the real life author, but was intentionally not corrected because it's not the kind of thing Ronaldo would notice.
