I'm talking about a fan theory, that if true doesn't drastically upend the fundamentals of the fiction it is set in.

Mine is that in the American Dad episode 'Can I Be Frank With You', that Snot's uncle is actually just another Roger persona. He appears suddenly and conveniently to pitch a bizarre scheme, he loves hanging around with teen boys and doing drugs, and the very instant that the plan has a setback he kills himself out of sight of everyone else. That's just Roger in a suit and glasses.

Edit: Ok, so, people are having trouble with the word "inconsequential".

The Pixar Theory

I feel this gets hated on a fair bit but I enjoy it, just a bit of fun

Holy fuck that was mindblowing!

Even if it turns out to be false, I applaud their effort in making this up.

Exactly! To link all of these great & unrelated pieces of cinema together into a somewhat believable overarching storyline is pretty cool.

I don't believe there's any intent from the creators there at all but it's an awesome little exercise if nothing else.
