** The president also appears in "That Ol' Black Magic", and once again is unnamed but obviously George W. Bush.
* The ''[[Earthworm Jim (Animation)|Earthworm Jim]]'' cartoon used a generic president. The practice was [[Lampshaded]] by whomever was meeting/kidnapping him and always introducing himself with "I'm one of those generic presidents they use to keep cartoons from becoming dated."
