Iconic Item: Difference between revisions

** [[CSI: Miami|Horatio's]] ... [[Memetic Mutation|sunglasses.]] [[The Who|YEEAAAAAAAAHH.]]

** Grissom's pig foetus (which Hodges placed in his old office when he left the show).

** Danny from ''[[CSI New York]]'s'' father's dog tags.

** Sid from ''[[CSI New York]]'' has the iconic glasses that come apart in the front.

** David and his harp. Also his sling.

** [[Jesus]] and the Cross.

*** The resurrected Christ can also be shown holding a spade, as the New Testament mentions that the first witnesses mistook him for a gardener.

* Since artists and sculptors generally did not know what Christian saints and martyrs looked like, the way to tell which saint a painting, stained-glass window or sculpture is meant to represent most frequently an iconic item such as the instrument of torture or implement of execution used on them or an object connected with an important episode in their life etc. These objects often can be used as symbols of the saint without actually showing the saints themselves, e. g. when a city's coat of arms features one or more keys, it usually means that it has a cathedral or major church dedicated to Saint Peter (who holds the keys of heaven) or is somehow connected to the his successors, the papacy (such as the arms of Avignon in France). Other examples:

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'':

** Parodied in an episode where Marge finds an insignificant portion of clothing belonging to a missing Bart but nonetheless is overwhelmed.

** Played straight in the episode where a [[Gentleman Thief]] steals her red pearl necklace. And then we find out she has an entire drawer full of such necklaces.

** When Homer finds Bart's rarely-seen-before-or-since "favorite" hat and thinks his son's been turned into a cardboard box... "A BOX, DAMN YOU! A BOOOOOX!"

** Bart's green "old-school" skateboard is probably the straightest example.

* In the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' episode "Boom Boom, Out Goes the Ed", Ed assumes the worst when all he can find of Edd is his trademark stocking cap, which he wears about 99% of the time he's on screen throughout the entire series. ("Double-Dee is double-done for!")

* Parodied in an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' when Spongebob loses all his clothes in his efforts to escape Sandy's dangerous "pre-hibernation week" activities, and Sandy stumbles across them while looking for him.

* Most of the leading characters in ''Around the World with Willy Fog'' have some form of iconic item:

** Willy Fog himself has a top hat and a walking cane, the latter often being used in self-defense
