They’re more than just brightly-colored office supplies, Post-Its are an important prop for some of your favorite TV shows and movies. They have joined characters together, broken them apart, and even been bathed in. Why, you haven’t had your entire body covered in them before? You don’t know what you’re missing. You might think of them as tiny, adhesive pieces of paper, but they do so much more.
Ok, not really. They are just a place to jot a quick note and fasten it in a location where you’ll see it. And these characters have seen a lot of them. From Bruce Almighty to Sex and the City, Post-Its can be used as a fun prop or an integral plot point. They’ve contained words of encouragement, ominous technological plans, and important clues.
Let’s take a closer look at the importance of those sticky squares in comedies, dramas and even one very silly sketch. They have enough space on them to pour out all your feelings, in as few as 7 words — not that we recommend that! We would also like to take this time to remind you not to steal Post-Its from your office. It could be a fireable offense, even if it is a lie.
