** Fans of ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' on Tumblr react to the Something Awful paywall [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUpcl_P9ZTw Part 1]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9cqtaKQLwA Part 2]]. Explanation: ''Dangan Ronpa'' wasn't just being LetsPlay[=ed=] on the forums, it was also being translated into English for the first time. When the paywall went up, lurkers lost their best/only source for up to six months at a time and were unwilling to pay $10 to view the forums.

When Jimmy's mom points out that it was a free school function, he mutters, "Darn scalpers." After hearing that Jimmy's band (who have become extremely arrogant and demanding after thinking they're awesome despite Jimmy's instruments doing everything) won't be performing, he stands up and yells, "I want my money back!" before he sits down and mutters that he didn't pay anything anyway in an embarrassed tone.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}},'' Jake Morgendorffer laments the tragedy that was the Altamont Free Concert, ending with the comment that he demanded his money back and he got it. When told that it was a free concert, he replied, "That's what THEY said, too."
