Line 49:
* One of these showed up in a recent episode of Futurama.
* Cobra from ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' in many of its earlier episodes inexplicably kept haggard looking slaves wearing rags, turning wheels and pushing mining carts, despite that fact that Cobra prided itself on using the sorts of advanced technology that would have made it easier to mine via automation.
* One episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' (the beauty pageant episode) had one of these in ''every'' character's fantasy of them becoming mayor for a day. In Vicky's fantasy, Timmy is the one turning the wheel. In Timmy's Mom's fantasy, it's Timmy's Dad and Timmy turning the wheel. When Timmy's Dad actually wins the contest and becomes mayor for a day, he basically makes the fantasy come to life... only it's his hated neighbor, Mr. Dinkleberg turning the wheel.
** At one point in ''Wishology,'' the fairies are forced to do this by the Eliminators. Cupid asks "What happens if we stop pushing this thing?" They decide to find out...and discover that it plays the melancholy background music.
* In ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'', when first informed about the Cluster, we see humans chained to this, apparently to power some kind of Ice Cream Parlor for robots.
