A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Difference between revisions

 

 

* The ''[[Firefly|Serenity]]'' comic book ''Better Days''. Seriously, it actually happens to Malcolm Reynolds.

* The ''Joker's Millions'' issue in ''Batman''.

** In another episode, Bart pretended to be kidnapped to avoid punishment for sneaking out. When Lisa found out the truth, Homer told her they should keep it a secret because he had already sold the story for a fortune he had already lost. While how he lost is [[Noodle Incident|anyone's guess]], since we were never given a clue, we can be sure it was out of foolishness, since it's ''Homer'' we're talking about.

* Early from [[Squidbillies]] fell into this trap the instant he had a legitimate lawsuit against Dan Haylen, letting himself be bought off with a settlement consisting of a few motorized chrome beer hats.

'''Early:''' [[Completely Missing the Point|Together again!]] }}

* Done in ''[[The Oblongs]]'' when Milo, Biff and Chip find some money in a car they all brought (Milo loan some money). Not surprising they spend it like crazy despite threats from the Mayor and city staff since it was bribe money meant for them. Subverted though as Milo doesn't act any different with his friends and it actully make the boys popular. But they lose it when Milo tosses a sparkler onto the remaining cash pile and burn it all up.
