The Fox Jacket is a talking piece of trendy apparel in the Dinosaurs episode "Slave to Fashion." Purchased by Charlene Sinclair (with financial assistance from Mindy), the jacket is part of a clothing line which literally says "I'm better than you." The newly acquired status symbol, which speaks with a snooty British accent, begins encouraging Charlene to reject her old friends, steal Earl's credit card, and in general, inveigles Charlene into a near Faustian bargain in exchange for temporary popularity. The fickle jacket eventually wearies of Charlene and attaches itself to the more likeminded Heather Worthington.
