Ticket Line Campout: Difference between revisions

** In one strip from shortly before ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' was released, Peter (who works at a movie theater)'s boss is preparing him for ''Star Wars'' fans, saying that they are normal people despite all the things they like to do, one of which is "Camp out in theaters before the big day"

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in another strip where Peter is working at the same movie theater, when Jason and Marcus ask him where the line to ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' is, which at the time of the strip, wouldn't come out for six months. After Peter explains this to him:

'''Peter:''' Sir, about my hourly pay... }}

* One ''[[Luann]]'' strip is a collection of "Things that are very hard to move". One is "The first person in line for ''[[Twilight (novel)|New Moon]]'', represented by a man seeing a tent in front of a cinema, with a sign saying "LINE STARTS BEHIND ME!" taped to the tent, and another saying "LINE STARTS HERE V" taped to the wall behind it.

** Don't forget the line for ''Itchy & Scratchy: [[The Movie]]'', which was long enough to extend through a drawbridge (with a man who falls off, yelling, "I regret nothing!") and all the way to the Simpsons' house.

** Kent Brockman picks an interviewee out of the line waiting to mail their taxes on April 15th.

* Subverted in ''[[King of the Hill]]'': Luanne's boyfriend Lucky convinces Bobby and Luanne to spend a week camping at the front of the ticket line for Lucky's favorite band. When the week is over {{spoiler|they're still the only people in line to buy tickets}}.

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", Rainbow Dash drags Fluttershy along at the crack of dawn in order to buy some of the Apple family's cider on the first day of cider season. Unfortunately, there's already a ''huge'' line of ponies camping out by the time they get there.
