'''This ain't baloney, this is [[Serious Business|Serious Beeswax]], as most words and phrases originated from this decade, so here are some examples:'''
* "Ab-so-lute-ly"
Line 95:
{{examples}}
== Works set in the Twenties ==
=== [[Anime]] ===
* ''[[Baccano!]]'' (technically 1930, but essentially the same.)
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]''
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
* ''[[Taishou Yakyuu Musume]]''
=== [[Comic Books]] ===
* [[Tintin]]. First appeared in January, 1929.
** [[Tintin/Recap/Tintin in the Land of the Soviets|Tintin in the Land of The Soviets]] (1929-1930).
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
* King Mob of ''[[The Invisibles]]'' gets to travel back in time to the Roaring Twenties.
=== [[Film]] ===
* ''[[Dick Tracy (film)|Dick Tracy]]''
* ''[[The Untouchables]]''
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
* ''[[Sunset]]''
=== [[Literature]] ===
* Most of [[H.P.
* Several ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' stories (1917-1966) by [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]], and a decent number of his many other ones, too.
* ''[[The Sheik]]''. First published in 1919, becoming a great hit in this period.
* [[Agatha Christie
** ''[[Hercule Poirot]]''. The novel series started in 1920.

Line 173 ⟶ 174:
* ''[[The Princess 99]]'' (c. 2009) takes place in 1924, in New Orleans...but with wizards!
=== [[Live Action TV]] ===
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'', episodes "Black Orchid" and "The Unicorn and the Wasp".
* [[Poirot]], the TV series; the books actually span a much longer period. (The ''Miss Marple'' series, meanwhile, is set in a different version of this trope - what might be called the suburban one. Middle-aged housewives sit around musing how hard it is to get good help since The War gave the rabble ideas.)
Line 180 ⟶ 181:
* In the ''[[Charmed]]'' episode "Pardon My Past" Prue, Piper and Phoebe time-travel back to the Twenties.
=== Music ===
* [[Louis Armstrong]] rose to fame in this decade.
* Al Jolson was really big during this era.
* [[George Gershwin]] wrote two of his most popular works, "Rhapsody In Blue" and "An American In Paris" during this decade.
=== Newspaper Comics ===
* [[Rupert Bear]]. First appeared in November, 1920.
* [[Popeye (comic strip)|Popeye]]. First appeared in January, 1929.
=== Other ===
* At [[Knotts Berry Farm]], the "Boardwalk" area, which now holds most of the park's thrill rides, was previously called "The Roaring 20s," a literal [[The Theme Park Version|theme park version]] of the era.
=== [[Tabletop Games]] ===
* The Fate powered "Spirit of Century" RPG is [[The Theme Park Version]] of this decade.
* [[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* ''Rollercoaster Tycoon 2'', in the 'Time Twisters' expansion pack provides a ''lot'' of iconic Roaring Twenties art deco architecture and memorabillia to create a park themed around it. (Literally an [[Expansion Pack Past]]?)
* [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]], set in year 20 of the Taisho era (think [[Taishou Yakyuu Musume]]).
Line 204 ⟶ 205:
* The [[Penny Arcade Adventures]] series
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* ''[[Lackadaisy Cats]]'', whose only inaccuracy is that the world is populated by [[Talking Animal|anthropomorphic felines]]. ** And the presence of a cathedral radio, and a few anachronistic cars (by ''one year''). And, maybe, checkbooks.
* ''[[Chess Piece]]'' takes place at the near end of this decade. Of course, it being an alternate universe, some things are very, very different. Like ghosts inhabiting Antarctica, demons ruling Australia (no, really), and America being ruled by a [[Noble Demon|kindly]] [[Dark Is Not Evil|demonic-looking]] king.
* ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'', save for the occasional [[Anachronism Stew]].
=== Western Animation ===
* [[The Silent Age of Animation]] was still ongoing, until ''[[Steamboat Willie]]'' debuted.
* The [[Fleischer Studios]] produced its first hit series
