The famous World War I-era poster of the Anthropomorphic Personification of the United States of America imploring young men to enlist in the military by Giving Someone the Pointer Finger. Usually depicted as an old guy with a beard, a top hat and a suit decorated with the Stars and Stripes. The famous American poster, created by J.M. Flagg (no kidding) in 1917, is actually based on a British poster from several years earlier, featuring Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener and the famous legend "Your Country Needs YOU". It is yet another common Art Imitates Art situation, the most popular subversion of which is to use the pose as an anti-war protest instead. Other parodies substitute Uncle Sam entirely with some other character wanting you to do whatever they want, whether it is to join some other war effort, to go about with some form of community service, or simply "to shut up". Compare Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You. |

Appears now and then in Beetle Bailey, including originally convincing Beetle that yes, the army does in fact want him, specifically. The strip was about college before it was retooled to be about the Armed Farces, and this incident was part of the transitional Story Arc. Decades later, the poster is the kind of thing Sarge will lovingly hang on his wall. | |

Towards the end of Time Slip, there's a shot of a single recruitment poster in the ruined, mostly-destroyed city declaring, "Your Planet Needs You", in the aftermath of the Tirmatian Alien Invasion. But then your mission is a success, and having eliminated the Tirmatians in the past, you ret-gonned the invasion, resulting in a World-Healing Wave that restores the city and turns the poster into a rock concert ad. | |

The trope is also referenced in Growing Pains when Ben Seaver, shortly after Mike Seaver's arrest for a protest to reinstate the coach of the school, tells the family that various relatives are calling him about the event, and believed they had a relative named "Uncle Sam" until his mom set him straight. It gets even more hilarious when one remembers that after his stint in the series, Mike's actor, Kirk Cameron, would later develop films and documentaries with a pro-American light to them. | |
