Wonder Showzen is an American sketch comedy television series that aired between 2005 and 2006 on MTV2. It was created by John Lee and Vernon Chatman of PFFR. The show is rated TV-MA. The show's format is that of educational PBS children's television shows such as Sesame Street and The Electric Company, parodying the format with adult-oriented content. In addition to general controversial comedy, it satirizes politics, religion, war, sex, and culture with black comedy. Every episode begins with a disclaimer, accompanied by the sound of someone screaming "Don't eat my baby!", which reads: "Wonder Showzen contains offensive, despicable content that is too controversial and too awesome for actual children. The stark, ugly and profound truths Wonder Showzen exposes may be soul-crushing to the weak of spirit. If you allow a child to watch this show, you are a bad parent or guardian."

The Angry Video Game Nerd is an adult web television series of comedic retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe. The show's format revolves around his commentary and review of older, but unsuccessful video games which are deemed to be of particularly low-quality, unfair difficulty or poor design. The series began as a feature on YouTube and later became a program on ScrewAttack Entertainment before moving to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was renamed The Angry Video Game Nerd to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo and due to the fact he started reviewing games from non-Nintendo consoles such as those made by Atari and Sega. Rolfe's character, "The Nerd" is a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of anger, profanity, and habitual consumption of alcohol while reviewing video games.

Der Film spielt um 1850 im viktorianischen England vor dem Hintergrund der Industriellen Revolution. Während dieser Zeit verlor der vorwiegend südenglische Landadel, der von den Einkünften seiner Güter und Grundstücke lebte, an gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung, während der „Industrieadel“, die reich gewordenen Fabrikbesitzer aus Nordengland, zunehmend zahlreicher und politisch einflussreicher wurde. Der Film schildert das Aufkommen der ersten Gewerkschaften mit einiger Sympathie, folgt aber Gaskells konservativer bzw. reformistischer Perspektive und predigt die Versöhnung der Klassengegensätze. Kooperativen, nicht Gewerkschaften, Kooperation, nicht Konfrontation werden als die Lösung der brennenden sozialen Probleme präsentiert.
