Line 53:
* Played with in an episode of [[The Boondocks]]. Huey assembles an army of sign wavers to try and shut down Jasmine's lemonade stand, but when Huey tries to start a riot, they just stand around swaying ineffectually. One of them explains that they ''will'' shut down the lemonade stand...even if it takes several years.
* On ''[[South Park]]'' the boys get roped into an anti-war protest rally, complete with signs (They only did it to get out of class.) They demonstrate on TV that they don't know anything about it, pissing off Mr. Garrison.
{{quote| Newsperson: Can you tell me why you marched out of school today? <br />
Stan: Uh.....war. <br />
Newsperson: Right and what about the war? <br />
Kyle: It's, it's....gay? <br />
Newsperson: Uh huh and what aspect of it do you think it most gay? <br />
Kyle: Uh...''reading the sign he's carrying'' no blood for oil! <br />
Stan: Yeah, ''reading'' war is not my voice: <br />
Cartman: ''reading'' Bush is a [[Godwin's Law|nayzzi]]! }}
* One episode of ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' started off with Johnny at a war protest. He was yelling, "I love pie! I love pie!", and holding a sign saying as much.
* An example from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' -- in "Itchy and Scratchy and Marge", Marge's anti-''Itchy and Scratchy'' protest, triggered by Maggie whacking Homer in the head with a mallet after she watched one of the cartoons, starts with Marge and the other family members marching outside the show's production company. Homer's sign is a detailed explanation of what happened to him and Maggie's says "Stop Me Before I Kill Again". Bart changes his sign to "'''Don't''' Ban ''Itchy and Scratchy''". As the protest grows, additional signs include "Bring Back ''Wagon Train''" and "What If A Mouse Blew Up A Cat And Nobody Cared".
* Happened in [[Futurama]] with Leela and a group of protestors protesting against a Dark Matter oil rig flying too close to a penguin preserve on Pluto. The sign messages included:
{{quote| ''Give A Hooto, Don't Pollute Pluto!''<br />
''Preserve Our Useless Wasteland''<br />
''Free [[Chilly Willy]]''<br />
'''Protestor:''' ''(excitedly)'' Here they come. Oh, I hope they read my sign! ''(Holds up sign saying, "Go Away Tanker!")'' }}
