* The early ''[[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]]'' holiday specials that satirize extreme commercialism. Sally's cry of "I haven't even finished all of my Halloween candy!" from 1973's ''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'' seems almost quaint when you consider that some stores don't even wait for Halloween anymore before putting Christmas merchandise out. In fact, in the following year's ''It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown'', the kids go to a store that's selling Christmas merchandise alongside Easter stuff (which is to say, in ''spring'').
* The anti-war short "[[Peace on Earth]]", released on the eve of [[World War II]] about the horrors of [[World War I]], still carries a haunting message applicable to today's world. It became far more profound from the 1950's onward and was even remade at the time (as "Good Will to Men"), as the [[Cold War]] made its metaphor of human extinction a chillingly literal one.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' season 6 episode "Homer Badman", which skewers the overly sensationalist nature of mass media, is still as relevant today as it was back in 1994.
