| Car Radio Dispute | comment |
Alice and Bob are in a car, and Bob turns on the radio (usually to a music station). Alice hates whatever Bob turned on, and either switches to a different station, or tells him to change it. Either way, it leads to an argument, usually culminating with Bob kicking Alice out of the car. | |

Clue: In book #8, chapter 6 ("Who Bent the Bentley?"), after the third driver takes over, they get in an argument with Colonel Mustard over the radio (the driver prefers Easy Listening, he wants something else), taking their eyes off the road and ending up crashing into a tree as a result. | |

All Dogs Go to Heaven: When Charlie meets up with Carface after escaping from the pound, Charlie turns on the radio so he can listen to some jazz while they talk, while Carface turns it off so they can just talk business. They go back and forth until Carface has enough and pulls out the knob to turn off the radio for good. | |

The Simpsons: In "Homerpalooza", Homer has to drive a carpool for Bart & Lisa to get to school, along with Milhouse & Nelson, and tries to "party" with the kids by playing Classic Rock on the radio, which they loathe.

Car Share: Averted, despite the amount of time they spend listening to the car radio, although John only listens to Kayleigh's choice of radio station grudgingly at first. In the final episode they argue over turning the volume up and down on a particular song, shortly before Kayleigh walks out on him for the last time. | |

In A Goofy Movie, Max listens to the car radio, which is playing heavy rock music, until Goofy puts in an 8-track tape with the song "High Hopes" on it. The two then switch the music back and forth over and over until the radio/cassette player breaks. | |

A downplayed version appears in "Cast Away," in which during a car trip to the lake, the Read family try to pass the time with the radio; Arthur begs his parents not to play D.W.'s Mary Moo Cow CD, so they listen to his Henry Skreever audiobook instead, however, the cassette player eats the tape, so they listen to D.W.'s Mary Moo Cow CD instead, much to his chagrin. | |

Uncle Grandpa: An Overly-Long Gag version of this trope (as in, lasting for a whole segment) occurs between Mr. Gus and Pizza Steve. Mr. Gus's conclusion is that if Pizza Steve wants to listen to different music, then he should be the one to drive. It turns out Pizza Steve doesn't drive very well. | |

In Supernatural, this is a recurring argument between Sam and Dean, as Dean always drives and always listens to classic rock, which Sam seems less than fond of. When Dean comes back from the dead for the first time, he immediately rips out the ipod jack Sam had installed to play tapes again. | |

Cavendish: The very first episode begins with Mark and Andy driving over the Confederation Bridge, as Mark cheerfully sings along to the Anne Of Green Gables soundtrack until a brooding Andy turns it off. (Since this is set on Prince Edward Island, an Anne Of Green Gables reference was probably inevitable). | |

Looney Tunes Cartoons: In "Battle Stations", Daffy and Porky fight over which station to listen to; Daffy wants to listen to upbeat jazz, Porky wants soft classical music. The fighting gets more and more violent, until they reach a station they both like, which plays polka music. And then the car goes over a cliff. | |

A variation appears in the Everybody Loves Raymond episode, "Big Shots". On the way home from a disasterous event with the 69 Mets, Robert starts humming the "Meet the Mets," tune, so Ray turns on the radio; the louder Ray turns up the radio, the louder Robert sings, until finally Robert strains his throat, and gives in, as Ray cuts off the radio. | |

Downplayed in "Arthur's Perfect Christmas" every time Arthur hears the radio jingle for Tina the Talking Tabby, which D.W. loves to hear because that is the toy she wants for Christmas. When her mom obliges her to change the station, she changes it to a station playing a jazz tune. Later on, when Arthur asks his dad to put something else on, he puts in a cassette of Crazy Bus. |

Two variations of this appear on Seinfeld. In "The Wig Master," Kramer keeps playing with George's car radio, until finally George snaps, "Would you just pick a station?!" Kramer says, "I like 'em all!" The knob pops off as a result. In "The Burning," Elaine borrows Puddy's car, and discovers all of his presets are programmed to Christian Rock stations. As an experiment, George suggests she changes the presets to see if he'll change them back, which he apparently does. |

Road To Guangdong can have this happening during gameplay. En route to Guangdong, China with your (local) grandaunt, you're driving an old jalopy that plays only two channels, an Oriental channel filled with traditional Cantonese / Mandarin songs, and a Western channel that plays rap. Your grandaunt is adamant to stick to the former channel, and if you switch to the Western radio she'll switch it back shortly. You can have a radio-switching war back and forth, and after a while you can hear your grandaunt audibly grumbling. | |
