Waving Signs Around: Difference between revisions

* 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.

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:

'''Protestor:''' ''(excitedly)'' Here they come. Oh, I hope they read my sign! ''(Holds up sign saying, "Go Away Tanker!")'' }}
