Line 366:
* One ''[[Underdog]]'' cartoon features an alien race called Cloud Men, who have so much gold they make furniture out of it. It's worthless to them; what they really need is silver (because all clouds [[Literal Metaphor| need a silver lining]]) so they steal it from other planets. Eventually, Polly convinces them to ''trade'' their gold for silver, which they apparently never considered.
* The very first scene with Eda in ''[[The Owl House]]'' has her going through the stuff she had Owlbert steal from the human world; she discards a golden chalice, a diamond ring, and Lutz's mobile phone (the reason Lutz followed Owlbert) as "garbage", while viewing a pair of novelty gag-glasses as a valuable artifact. Or rather, something she [[Snake Oil Salesman|can sucker customers into paying for.]]
* ''[[Duck Tales]]'',
** In an episode of the original show, Scrooge and a member of the Status Seekers Club want a rare mask from the king of a tropical island that would make either of them president of the club. They both offer the king expensive jewelry and other fancy gifts, but he just laughs and tells them he has no need for such trinkets. Eventually, Mrs. Beakley is able to get him to trade the mask for something he actually wants — [[Food as Bribe| a simple jar of peanut butter.]]
** In another episode, Scrooge finds an aquatic race who regard shipwreck treasure as worthless garbage and keep it in a landfill. When Scrooge takes it all to the surface, they curse him for stealing — but then they realize he essentially just took out their garbage for them and did them a favor.
