Line 7:
== Advertising ==
* There's an ad currently running which plays with this trope: it turns out the product is already on the shelves, and the store is already open.
* A recent commercial for a prescription acne treatment shows a teenaged boy camping
== Comedy ==
Line 50:
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Homer Simpson camps for some Springfield Isotopes tickets, and is pleased when there's only one person ahead of him in line (despite a random man telling Homer that he could have saved himself the trouble by actually going to work and earning the money to buy the tickets ahead of time). However, that person proceeds to buy every one of the 30,000 tickets, despite only having ten dollars.
** 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
{{quote|Otto: "'''Taxes?''' I thought this was the line for ''[[Metallica]]''!"}}
* 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}}.
