Fauxtivational Poster: Difference between revisions

 

 

''"I totally agree; and I think that what that course showed me is that sometimes it does help to pay someone really quite a lot of money to state the obvious."''|'''--[[That Mitchell and Webb Look|That Mitchell And Webb Sound]]'''}}

 

* ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' has two: In Gnothi Seauton five bad ass resistance fighters have a cute kitten "hang in there baby" in their hideout, which conceals a safe. In Dungeons And Dragons the future resistance have a badass mural of the same theme, except it's a lion jumping out of fire, a Terminator skull in its jaws.

* The Doublemeat Palace in season 6 of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' has these in its employee break room, and manager's office. It is duly lampshaded:

* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'': "Fun and Failure start the same way".

* ''[[The IT Crowd]]'': The basement has several memetastic posters hanging up.

** There's a somewhat sillier take on the "Hang In There Baby" poster in [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990425 this] strip.

** Torg's cousin sends him the Christmas present of an "inspirational calendar" with a picture like a motivational poster for each month, illustrating various captions such as "Inspiration" and "Success" with inspirational pictures... all of which are the same picture of an alligator eating a guy.

* An early Bizarre Uprising comic had a poster saying "Reading is KITTY!" in a classroom background.

* Mike of [[Shortpacked]] [http://www.shortpacked.com/2008/comic/book-7/08-the-cartoonist-proposes/receipts/ has one in his bedroom] of a koala hanging from a branch with the caption "You're fucked."

* ''[[Futurama]]''--

** In the episode "Cryonic Woman", Leela reapplies for her old job at the cryonics center:

"Monday monkey lives for the weekend, sir!" }}

** There was another one from the first episode which refers to the policy of people being assigned careers instead of choosing their own, which features a man in a hard-hat with a rather dubious look on his face giving a thumbs-up, with the caption "You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do".

** Paying attention to the background nets a few more of these as well. In one episode, a poster outside an army recruitment office reads:

Bwak Buk Buk Bawk!" }}

* Peter Potamus has several posters with a hippopotamus "reaching for ''that thing''" in ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]''.

** This is made interesting by the fact that it appears ''every'' time that room is shown. Possibly one of the writers has it in their office.

* ''[[Family Guy]]''. When Peter took over his father-in-law's company, Brian had a poster of a ball in his office that said "Go Get It. Go Get It, Boy".
