Added DiffLines:

* Creator/{{Dropout}}: Every episode of "If Google Was a Guy" starts with a long line of people standing outside [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Google's]] office. In some episodes, he snaps impatiently at them.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'': In the episode where the church tries to recruit people to take part in the TV show Songs of Praise, they add to the advert "the chance to be on TV", and then there is a long queue of people waiting to take part.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/MaryPoppins'': The vast queue of no-nonsense nannies who reply to the advert from Mr Banks, rather than the one written by the children. The queue would take a very long time to process as Mr Banks insists on them coming in one at a time, but they are blown away by the wind before this happens.

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* At the 2010 Nuit Blanche Art Festival in Toronto, there was an exhibit consisting of a sign encouraging people to "line up here!" What people didn't realize unless they read the guidebook was that [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible the line itself was the art piece, and in reality it led nowhere]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': In the revival, Rory takes on an assignment about lines as an attempt at getting her foot in the door at a magazine. She and Lorelai pretty much wander around talking to people who are waiting in various lines. At one point, they follow a line to its beginning and discover that it isn't even a line; a few friends were eating lunch outside their building, some other people somehow got the idea that they were waiting for something to open and got behind them to see what it was, and it snowballed from there. It says a lot about the loss of Rory's journalistic ambition that she laughs this off and moves on, rather than making it the centerpiece of her article.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'': The episode "Waiting Ex-Sale" has the majority of Caitlyn and Jen's plot occur while they're waiting in line for a once-in-a-lifetime sale at Albatross and Finch. Caitlyn has a whole relationship with the boy ahead of them, from getting together, to arguing about their future house, to working through it, to realizing they need space and breaking up. When they bump into each other in the store after finally making it inside, it's treated as running into a long-term ex.

* Creator/JohnPinette has a routine where he rails against the people in front of him at buffets or restaurants, specifically for slowing down the line with inane banter or dithering when it comes time to order. This leads to one of his {{Catch Phrase}}s: a shrill "''Get outta the line!''" directed at the offender.

Added entry for Doghouse Diaries

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/DoghouseDiaries'': Played with in [[http://thedoghousediaries.com/3412 Going To The Airport]]. While there's no one actually waiting in line, there's still a long, winding corridor between the stanchions. Instead of going through it, or even just going around the sides, the guy [[TakeAThirdOption elects to cut directly through the elastic barriers with pruning shears]].
