Looney Toons: What show is the Superman-related example from?
Drop Dead Gorgias: Whoops forgot. It's Smallville. On an unrelated note, don't you wish you could electively rename shows (i.e. Small Ville), just for the wikiwordification?
Looney Toons: No, not really.
The Kakapo: I tidied this entry up by adding categories and assigning the examples to them. I assigned them as they were listed, although I did move western animation up to be after anime, because that seemed to make more sense than having the two separated. I didn't recognize all the shows, so those I didn't I looked at their wiki entries. If I was incorrect please fix their order. I likes a tidy entry! :D
Medinoc: Pulled out this from the One Piece example:
- Later in the series, Sir Crocodile terminated his partnership with Mr. 3 and Ms. All-Sunday, but the line is nowhere to be heard.
"Vader's sweetheart Padmé probably would've also been discarded by Sidious, if Vader hadn't accidentally done that himself." Since Padmé never worked for Sidious the comment is irrelevant to this trope.
fleb: I don't think we need a Real Life section, do you?
- RealLife
* Back when it wasn't illegal in the U.S. to hire illegal aliens, some employers (usually in Southern California, where there's a ready pool of "undocumented workers") would turn themselves in just before pay day. The INS would come swooping in and arrest all the employees who didn't have proof of citizenship, which was basically either everyone or almost everyone working there, and they'd be deported back to Mexico, (by agreeing to be deported as opposed to filing a claim and resisting deportation) where they'd (usually successfully) cross the border again, sometimes within hours of being arrested. But since the employees had been deported, they couldn't claim their pay, and the employer would keep it! (Technically, if a worker doesn't collect their pay, it's supposed to be escheated to the unclaimed property department of the state government.) Sometimes the company could get away with this for weeks at a time before the poor wetbacks started to pass it around to others that the company was doing this.
