Line 47:
* The bureaucrat from the Disney comic [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+95200 "Cosmic Confrontation"] originally sneaked up aboard Gyro's rocket to check how many laws it violated, but when the rocket came face-to-face with a squad of giant alien constructor workers out to destroy Earth to make room for a space highway, he proceeds to use his bureaucracy to drive them away and save Earth.
* In ''[[Judge Dredd]]'', Mega-City One has the Bureau of Creative Bureaucracy. It's motto is "Saving the city's money by making life difficult for you!"... which is surprisingly honest for a bureaucracy.
* In one issue of ''[[Harley Quinn|Harley Quinn 2000]]'', the anti-heroine knows exactly how to deal with two snooty bureaucrats while apartment hunting:
{{quote|'''Bureaucrat #1:''' …of course, we’ll need a copy of your current state medical license, your DEA number so we can run a check on your prescription history, and an up to date resume, as well as six letters of recommendation.
'''Bureaucrat #2:''' This is a very exclusive building.
'''Bureaucrat #1:''' If it seems like we don’t rent to just anyone, it’s because we don’t.
'''Bureaucrat #2:''' If it seems our standards are high, it’s because they are.
'''Bureaucrat #1:''' The doctors and psychiatrists here are among the best in the country.
'''Bureaucrat #2:''' The best.
'''Harley:''' [[Every Man Has His Price| I have cash.]]
'''Both Bureaucrats:''' Welcome to the building!}}
