#12 is an Oreo barcode, and the person who go it is mixed-race. According to them "It originally was a play on consumerism and whatnot that my 18 year old self thought was so insightful coupled with the joke about being biracial."

I thought it was a human-fied Gargoyles character, just going by the animation.
Also, of the 7 things in that post, I've seen 3 (Atlantis/Hercules/Kim Possible).

You've never seen any of the Pokemon animated series at all ever? Even in meme form?

Only in meme form. When I said "seen," I meant more like "watched." Of course I've seen Pokémon in pop culture, we even have a thread about it.
But no, I've never seen an episode of the television show nor the movies, didn't play the card game, etc. It wasn't even until a couple years ago that I realized the "...very best" song was the theme from the show.

I've more often experienced the opposite, where the sheet/blanket isn't even long enough to cover the bed itself, and you're in an eternal struggle all night long to have it up by your neck, and yet not pulled over your feet. Usually not as big a problem as it seems, since most hotel rooms seem to have their thermostats "locked" at no lower than 21 degrees, which is NOT COMFORTABLE to sleep under blankets. And most of the ones that DO go lower aren't actually effective at getting the room that low.

Also many cases where the blanket & sheets are not tucked in AT ALL.

The case from the photo exists, but IMO the other two are more common.

And then last (and least) is the number of beds done relatively correctly. It happens, but it's rare.

This may be a national/cultural thing, because around here (here being the PNW US, but also extensive travels throughout the remainder of the continental US), the case in the photo is the norm. It's like the housekeeping staff were trained in making hospital corners by the angriest of drill sergeants. Hell, I saw sloppier corners on my buddy's missile frigate on return-to-home-port-day than I've seen at most low- to mid-range hotel and motel chains (Motel 6, Super 8, Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn, etc.).

During my last lengthy hotel stay, my biggest problem was that the "blanket" was only big enough to come up to about my waist. Every night, I would turn it 90° so it would actually reach up to my chest since it was wide enough to cover the bed from side to side, it just wasn't long enough to come up past my waist.

I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure my parents still have both the tupperware pitcher and the hideous alarm clock.
