In any mass public gathering, positive (on the campaign trail, during sporting events, to raise awareness) or negative (at protests and/or strikes), there's bound to be people waving signs around. Truth in Television. In more humorous depictions, expect at least one sign to be completely irrelevant to the actual topic—"Hi, Mom", "Buy at Moe's", "I came to this rally and all I got was this stupid sign", etc. More serious ones may be the Powder Keg Crowd. Often accompanied by a Slogan-Yelling Megaphone Guy. Usually a component of a Strike Episode, as disgruntled workers are known to march in a picket line. See also Torches and Pitchforks, for when the crowd gets too rowdy. Also The End Is Nigh, Beggar with a Signboard. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Following the publication of her book Diana is faced with groups of protesters at a book signing and outside the embassy in DC, whose signs make it clear they think her description of her beliefs and the fact that same-sex relationships are normalized on Themyscira as her trying to corrupt people and make them turn pagan. | |

In one The Hardy Boys story, the boys and their friend (Chester, I think his name was) are investigating a massive protest against a boat, and get handed signs (which makes for a difficult moment when the boys' employer turns out to be the owner of the boat). Chester brings his own sign reading "FRANK HARDY FOR MAYOR". | |

Achille Talon has a strip where the locals advertise an upcoming block party by parading around with signs reading "Fete de quartier! Grand repas de sanglier!" (Block Party- Boar Banquet). Unfortunately, what with everyone jostling and walking at different speeds, they ended up reading "Fete du sang! pas de quartier!" (Feast of Blood! No Quarter!) | |

Adam-12: In "O'Brien's Stand," Malloy's titular elderly landlady feels the police aren't working hard enough to find her stolen purse, so she gets a group of old women whose purses have also been stolen to march outside the police station waving signs like "Protect Our Purses" and "We might be senior, not senile." In "Northwest Division," a group of women protest the high cost of living by marching outside a grocery store with signs like "Down with prices." |

Wonder Girl Vol 1: There are a bunch of protesters all over the place holding signs protesting something about Amazons Attack!, which while vile is rather pointless as at this point the Amazons—besides Wonder Woman who had been fighting the invaders—had been wiped from the face of the earth. The most common is "Blunder Girl," which makes sense as Cassie and Kara grabbed such a potent Idiot Ball during Amazons Attack! that they thought attacking Air Force One and kidnapping the president would somehow help matters. | |

An example from The Simpsons-in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge", Marge's anti-Itchy and Scratchy protest, triggered by Maggie whacking Homer in the head with a mallet after she watched one of the cartoons, starts with Marge and the other family members marching outside the show's production company. Homer's sign is a detailed explanation of what happened to him and Maggie's says "Stop Me Before I Kill Again". Bart changes his sign to "Don't Ban Itchy and Scratchy". As the protest grows, additional signs include "Save the Cartoon Animals," "Bring Back Wagon Train" and "What If A Mouse Blew Up A Cat And Nobody Cared". There's also "Homer Badman", when a group of women protested at the Simpson house after Homer is accused of grabbing a woman's butt. Signs include "Homer Bad Man", "Homer Is A Pig" and "You Pinch, I Lynch" In "The Fight Before Christmas", Lisa shows her disdain for people cutting down Christmas trees by holding a sign reading "Fir Is Murder".' In "Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky", the town is in an uproar over Lisa's lights-out campaign because it brought about an increase in night crime. Signs include "Lighten Up, Lisa" and "I'm Pro-Light". In "Mr. Plow", Homer has a Imagine Spot of him helping George HW Bush sneak valuable art works out from the White House by plowing through the protesters. Signs include "Forget the Alamo", "I dislike Ike" and "Pay me not to work". The "Trumptastic Voyage" web video shows supporters of Donald Trump holding signs saying "Paid" and "Vote". |

Discworld: In Paul Kidby's illustration of the Fresh Start Club from Reaper Man, Reg Shoe is holding a sign saying "Undead, yes - Unperson, no". In Interesting Times the rebels try to Wave Signs Around but because they're still indoctrinated into an exaggerated version of Japanese Politeness, the signs aren't very strongly worded. They say things like "Slightly Bad Things Please Happen To Our Enemies." In Jingo, Vimes sees a sign that reads GREASY FORANE HANDS OFF LESHP. |

PCU: Played with in this film, where there is an entire student organization evidently devoted to protesting for various causes, the cause in question seemingly changing with each week. At the end of the movie, the protagonists stage a large ad hoc protest against the college president, and offer some of their signs to the leader of the student protest organization, to which they reply "We brought our own" and produce a set of blank picket signs and markers that they evidently carry around with them. | |

Unclear whether they're positive or negative, but "Chinese Satellite" by Phoebe Bridgers describes a few of these protests, one by a bunch of conservative Christians that provokes conflict. The song makes fun of them, but she's also sympathetic, saying that she'd do the same despite the embarrassment for the one she loves. | |

This happens in the Rock, Paper, Scissors episode, "Six Pieces of Turkey", as Rock discovers that the box of turkey that he ordered only has four pieces of turkey instead of six as advertised on the box, he tries to protest in front of Big Turkey with him running back and forward in unison with a sign and saying un-fair only by himself with no crowd, he realizes this after Paper tells him that no one seems to care regarding his cause leading to him adding turkey to his sign that now reads: "Turkey Unfair", and immediately a crowd of people join his protest. | |

Revolution: The crowd of protesters are carrying a lot of signs. The signs say things about how wages shouldn't be cut, the U.K. shouldn't be the 51st state of the U.S., and other topics such as Communism and National Liberation Front (Viet Cong). | |

BioShock: Signs with slogans such as RYAN DOESN'T OWN US! can be found around Rapture, in protest to the city founder's policies, but by the time the player gets there, the time for peaceful protest has long passed. It probably ended pretty badly for the people gathered around the Welcome Center and Apollo Square. These same signs make a cameo along with a small section of Rapture in the sequel BioShock Infinite towards the end of the game. |

In the Known Space short story "Cloak of Anarchy", one character joins a protest group and holds up a blank sign. He intends this as a sociological experiment to see what people read into the sign; the protesters see him as mocking them and their cause, as they make painfully clear to him when a hacker crashes all the police robots that were the only thing preventing visitors from committing acts of violence on other visitors. | |

The Montana IPB base in The Infected is picketed against several times, despite being in the wilderness thirty miles from the nearest town. More often than not, this is a cover for an attack. Though when a handful of people show up to picket the IPB's Fourth of July cookout, they're invited in and help themselves to burgers and hot dogs. Also, there is a riot squad formed specifically to keep a number of anti-Infected demonstrations from getting out of hand. | |

When Alan and Prima finally find a protest, some of the protesters can be seen waving signs. In episode 51, Juna claims to the rest of the dorm residents that he doesn't need to pay rent. The others proceed to protest in front of their landlady's house and break out some protest signs (and a megaphone). |

Stranger Things: Season 3 episode 2 sees Hopper get pressured by Mayor Larry Kline into breaking up a protest outside City Hall regarding the new Starcourt Mall that's put local mom and pop stores out of business. Hopper is reluctant to do so until Larry more or less threatens his job (while condescendingly announcing plans to throw a big Fourth of July bash for the purpose of distracting voters from these protests come November). | |

Dogma attracted some protests for what the protestors considered its disrespectful treatment of religion. Kevin Smith joined one such protest, bemusedly noting that none of the others had bothered to make a sign as nice as his. None of the other protesters recognized him either, funnily enough | |

Comes up a few times in Newsies, given that the plot revolves around the Newsie strike of 1899. In the first day of protest, Crutchie shows Jack and the others that he's made a sign and attached it to his crutch. The others congratulate him for his effort, but Racetrack says it's "pathetic". Later at the rally, each of the boroughs is holding up a sign for their respective neighborhood. | |

The signs indicate everyone's there to protest different things, including the teachers (and Weiss) who are campaigning for more homework for students, and the students who are campaigning for less homework. Neo herself holds up a megaphone as if she's going to announce something to the crowd before simply putting it away and also holding a sign: "THIS IS JUST HOW I TALK!" | |
