And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge? What would they say to us… if they were here… tonight?

It probably made Jack Chick cry.
I found my first one in a junior-high shop classroom. It was one of the full-sized comics, "Spellbound?", which was about how rock music came from the Illuminati who were also the Druids and built Stonehenge* and were possessed by so many demons that they had awesome devil powers. Somehow this was supposed to scare…
GOLDEN SPONGE CAKE
The tracts were supposedly intended as evangelism, but it's hard to imagine anyone being convinced by them who wasn't already in the subculture, or possibly a small child.
My favorite line was "Is he from a local commercial?"
THEY'RE the puppet!
Oh… Golden Girls!
This could be a sketch, actually: Trump and Billy Bush on Charon's bus to the underworld.
…come to think of it, the "French cat videos" sketch with Hanks as Ron Howard was that too. It's a theme!
But the twist ending is that David Pumpkins actually does scare them at the end—because there's nothing more disturbing than an apparent reference you don't get.
The fake promo for "Broken" (the depressing drama being promoted as a sitcom) was another joke about a jarring tonal mismatch.

Yeah, but why don't we have 45-year-old Trumpsters obsessing over it? Some of them are surely into collecting old TV shows. I suspect it's because they still have Kevin James shows and Adam Sandler movies giving them exactly the same thing.
Shorter: we're not nostalgic for it because what it was delivering never really went away.
I am pretty sure there was no consistent TV assignment of colors to political parties until the aftermath of the disputed 2000 presidential election. Wikipedia says that Tim Russert spoke of red states and blue states in the run-up to the 2000 election because of the map used by NBC, but I don't think they all used…
"You can't defeat me! I'm filled with tinier men!"
The Dark Fledermaus Returns?
It seemed to me that the actual model for the 2001 series was Seinfeld. And Seinfeld with capes is actually not a bad idea, but it still paled a little in comparison to the cartoon. This one has potential.
