{{quote|Babs: "It takes a group of highly-paid network executives YEARS to come up with a TV show!"
Buster: "Which means it should take US... about as long as this next commercial break!" }}

* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' had a minor character named 'Nick' who was created as a symbol for [[Nickelodeon]]. Nick had various disturbing science experiments performed on him by the main character.

'''Bullwinkle:''' You had better; we could use the publicity. }}
