Outdated Outfit: Difference between revisions

* In [[Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire]], Ron comments on his Yule Ball robes, "Traditional? They're ancient!"

 

* The notion of an Outdated Outfit became a running gag on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', with the character of Lupe who was known to wear exclusively hand-me-downs from Lucille. This usually resulted in funny background gags, such as a Halloween jumper on Thanksgiving or a Bush/Cheney jumper in late 2005.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' occasionally identifies vampires by their old-style clothes. (One of the more hilarious examples was in the episode that introduced Faith, where Faith is first seen dancing with a ''disco vampire''.)

** [[Joss Whedon]] originally intended all vampires to wear [[Frozen Fashion Sense|clothing matching the time period in which they died]], but realized that the concept was major [[Nightmare Retardant]]. The first episode had a passing reference to the idea, with Buffy identifying a vampire based on his 80's fashion.

** Spike has been using the same leather jacket since he looted it off of Nikki Wood and has had the same bleached hair since at least before Billy Idol, seeing as it's been mentioned in canon that Billy stole his hair from Spike.

* [[Steve Buscemi|Tony Blundetto]] of [[The Sopranos]] went to prison in [[The Eighties]]. [[Miami Vice|It shows]].

** Fedoras and trenchcoats remained popular with older men in some of the more "traditional" eastern U.S. cities well into [[The Nineties]].

* Parodied in [[Flight of the Conchords]]. Jemaine and Bret have updated their look, with gelled hair and 80's synthpop-like clothing, which leads to this exchange;

Jermaine: They're not from the 70's, they're from New Zealand.

Dave: Isn't that the same thing? }}
