"Sappy Anniversary" was the second episode of the fifth season of the Daria TV series (episode number 502). It first aired on MTV on February 26, 2001.

"Sappy Anniversary" was written by Anne D. Bernstein.

Summary

This episode concerns Daria's concern that Tom Sloane has forgotten an anniversary of theirs. Though Daria was "reminded" of the occasion by Quinn, rather than remembering it on her own, it never-the-less triggers a concern in her that Tom is taking her for granted.

In the meanwhile, Jake gets involved in a questionable company called Buzzdome.com.

Notes

This episode satired the dot-com bubble of 1995-2000, though by the time the episode would have been written the bubble was starting to end - unfortunately, by the time it aired the bubble was rapidly deflating and the companies Buzzdome.com parodies were going under. (In fanfiction, this is part of the reason why some fans assume Daria graduated in the year 2000, placing this story in 1999)

At the beginning of the episode, Quinn is holding the wall calendar open at May 12 when she says that it is Daria and Tom's six-month anniversary. That would mean that this episode takes place sometime in November.
