ITT: episodes that were dated the moment they aired

We all know certain episodes/jokes that become more dated the years go by, but what about stuff that was instantly dated?

Here's one: Cleveland Show had an episode where Cleveland befriends a rat and it becomes a Ratatouile parody. The episode aired 6 years after the movie.

Literally all of close enough

Literally all the Animaniacs reboot.

didn't american did it too?

examples?

I never realize it was a Ratatouile reference until now

Anything Everywhere All At Once has a fairly major Ratatouille bit in it and that came out in 2022.

All the zombie Simpsons episodes.

How can a reference be dated? You may as well have posted every 80s movie parody they made

Ratatouille is a timeless classic you fucking moron

Ratatouille is a fucking moron you timeless classic

Cleveland show is a timeless classic you fucking Ratatouille

Is a timeless classic, show you, Cleveland, fucking Ratatouille?

Cleveland fucking Ratatouille? What a timeless classic.

That movie was not nearly as funny as it thought it was

Yeah. Just an incredibly amazing action superhero movie

It was cool as fuck tho with good character writing and visuals

Literally almost a decade late

MY NAME IS CELEVELAND BROWN
AND I AM PROUD TO SAY
I FUCKED RATATOUILLE
AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY

Real life

American Dad's episode came out three years after Cleveland Show's episode

Animaniacs period

Like what?

Most of Comedy Central era episodes of Futurama

disagree here, nothing in close enough was really 'dated', unless you count when they reference growing into an awkward 'cool' parent or trying to 'stay young' as they move into the next chapter of their lives.

are you done projecting?

rewatching season back a few months ago, it feels fresh.

those tiktok egirls and eboy are so 2018

eh, that's alright. just paying homage to a nice movie.

you know, it could of been a scrap script as the cleveland show came out in 2009 and later rework later on the show's progress.
