'''Pain:''' Eh, it'll never catch on. }}
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
** Professor Frink, in a flashback from the 70s, states that within a hundred years, computers will be twice as powerful<ref>The joke there being that it's a ''colossal'' understatement, as even PCs available when the cartoon was released had ''millions'' of times more memory than the type he was demonstrating.<ref>, so expensive that only the five richest kings in the world could own them, and will be the size of a baseball stadium. This was, in fact, an in-joke to a quote attributed to Thomas J. Watson of IBM, "I think there is a world market for about five computers."
** In an episode where Smithers is taking a leave of absence to star in a musical based on the Malibu Stacy doll, Mr. Burns thinks it's ridiculous, "A musical about a doll? Why not one about [[Cats|the common cat]]? Or [[The King and I|the King of Siam]]?" This isn't a flashback; Burns is just that out-of-touch.
