In Popular Culture
Sitcom episodes with a plot involving tickets to the Ice Capades were still being written years after the demise of the company, including episodes of The Drew Carey Show, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show has also been widely parodied, for example by cartoonist Gary Larson with good-natured comics captioned "Ice Crusades" and "Dirt Capades". The popular Warner Bros. cartoon Animaniacs also makes a joke as part of its "Wheel of Morality" segment: "And the moral of today's story is... If you can't say something nice, you're probably at the Ice Capades."

—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“And all the popular statesmen say
That purity built up the State
And after kept it from decay;
Admonish us to cling to that
And let all base ambition be,
For intellect would make us proud....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.”
—Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
