Line 21:
* Linna is seen walking around with a bag with a baguette sticking out of it in one episode of ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]].''
* In ''F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu'', <s>Captain Fa-</s> Bart is seen, twice in the same episode, carrying a grocery bag with a baguette in.
* In a season 2 episode of ''[[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'', Siesta is seen carrying a grocery bag with a baguette and, as seen when she drops it, an apple.
* Yuuki carries a bag with a baguette in the opening of the ''[[Silent Möbius]]'' TV series.
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Keith is carrying the usual "baguette and carrots" bag when [[Meet Cute|he runs into Cis]] in episode 15. There's also an apple in there, which he offers to her.
Line 30:
== Film ==
 
* Seen played straight in ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'', at least for the oranges part. Except in this case, while the Don is buying said oranges from the fruit vendor, a bunch of thugs show up and shoot him a few times, inevitably causing him to drop the oranges.
** This is a trope in itself; the producer used oranges to 'brighten up' otherwise grim scenes and dark sets -- therefore, you can find oranges in many scenes where someone dies.
* At the end of ''[[The Departed]]'', Sullivan carries one of these bags into his apartment. {{spoiler|He gets shot by Dignam, and the groceries do end up all over the floor. The original script even called for the rat that comes out to start nibbling on a fallen bagel.}}
* Dana Barret's shopping in ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
* In the 2010 Eddie Lebron fan film of Megaman, Dr. Wily, before planning his revenge removes bran flakes and a roll of paper towels from a paper bag, sets them on his kitchen counter, and then sits down to think up his evil scheme...
* In ''[[Taken (Filmfilm)|Taken]]'', Bryan uses one of these bags as camouflage to get into the Paris apartment. The only recognizable food item is not one but TWO baguettes; the greens look like a small ficus plant. (Evidently in France you need more than one baguette.)
** Also in the same film, Jean-Claude also carries home a baguette for dinner.
* Exaggerated in [[Michael Clayton]]: Michael finds Arthur walking with a paper grocery bag filled with nothing BUT baguettes.
* April O'Neil is seen with one with a visible baguette when arriving back to her apartment in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Filmfilm)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze]]''.
* Seen in ''[[Rumble in The Bronx]]''. The baguette is even wrapped and labeled as such.
 
Line 46:
* In ''[[Space Precinct]]'', we see that three-eyed aliens in the future still fill their shopping bags with that mandatory baguette.
* Turns up in ''[[Lovejoy]]'' tv series, the episode "The Axeman Cometh"; possibly the french loaf sticking out of the bag was to hammer home to the audience that the character holding it [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|was meant]] to be French.
* Averted in ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' 'Deadly Medicine'-Duncan was getting items for an Italian meal, so there were tomatoes, among other things. There was some bread, though, probably for garlic bread. It got knocked to the ground when Duncan was hit by the car.
* In the ''[[Modern Family]]'' episode "Baby On Board," Haley comes home with a paper shopping bag full of groceries so she can cook a special dinner for the family. Guess what's in the bag.
 
Line 53:
 
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' with the item [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Stale_baguette "Stale baguette"]. Eating one results in a minor [[Global Currency|Meat]] loss, since anybody with the aforementioned baguette is bound to get robbed in a dark alley shortly after purchase.
* Penelo features a fantasy version in {{spoiler|the finale of}} ''[[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XII]]''
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]] IV'' has an occasional pedestrian wandering about carrying a paper bag of groceries. This contains a loaf of bread, a box of cereal, a half-gallon of milk, and some oranges. While easy to see walking the streets of most of the city, it is odd if they appear on Happiness Island.
* Shown in the ending of the [[The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games|"Oracle"]] ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' games.
Line 61:
== Western Animation ==
 
* Mr. Krabs brings home such a bag in the ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Wet Painters" (see picture).
* You will at least see Lois in ''[[Family Guy]]'' heading home with grocery bags like this such as the episode "Brian In Love" when she unloads the bags out of her car before being hose sprayed by Peter.
* Brown paper grocery bags with baguettes can be seen in ''[[King of the Hill]]'' episode "A Rover Runs Through It".
