* ''VideoGame/KickMan'', a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames Golden Age]] arcade game, was one of the first video arcade game to use this imagery. You had to catch falling balloons on your head, but you had to avoid the similar-looking falling bombs. (During development, the dropped-things-to-avoid were [[AnvilOnHead anvils]], but the game's designers didn't think the average player would recognize anvils.)

Just For Pun cleanup, cutting misuse.


** Initially, the class emblem on the Demoman's shirt was one of these. It was changed to a representation of the game's sticky bombs when they wanted to sell [[TheMerch car decals]] of all of the class emblems; presumably a car with a picture of a bomb on it, even a cartoon one, would be cause for alarm. The full-color icon representing Demomen in the scoreboard and non-melee Robot Demomen in Mann vs. Machine mode, however, is unchanged (he's not the only class with such a mismatch; the Heavy has a chain of bullets in the scoreboard and a fist on his shirt, and has been this way since the beginning). He then gets an unlockable grenade launcher (the [[JustForPun Loose Cannon]]) that fires miniature cartoon bombs.
