Anime? AKIRA, and anything by Hayao Miyazaki.Never mind the fact that most cartoons from the 1900s throughout the 1930s were still in black-and-white. Black-and-white animation will always be Felix the Cat or Betty Boop.Though when people think of specific animation clichés they're usually envisioning Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Tex Avery MGM Cartoons.Likewise, B- and C-list actors are all suddenly big stars when they walk onto a TV show and everyone will know them by their real names. If a band makes an appearance, most of the characters will suddenly become fans, no matter how obscure or washed up the band really is - which can also lead to such hilarious situations as the City Mouse suddenly liking Country Music or the wholesome, mostly white, Dom Com family all loving a rapper who is not normally known for being family friendly. It's much easier to get a guest who's "famous" than one who's actually well known.
One notable case where all these qualms about obscurity get thrown out the window is the Celebrity Star. Yet, while due to his antics, a lot of Americans probably know Rob Ford is the mayor of Toronto (or at least was until his death), they'd be hard pressed to name the Prime Minister of Canada (at least when it was Stephen Harper Justin Trudeau, who took over in 2015, is pretty well-known to most Americans). Shows from the '70s and '80s assume that people will know about figures like Augusto Pinochet and Leonid Brezhnev, but one can't assume the same anymore, while references to certain American personalities in Family Guy or Robot Chicken will fly over the heads of viewers from elsewhere. What is obscure varies depending on time and place.
