For instance:

I love my parents, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

OR

''I love my parents, Superman and Wonder Woman. ''

The first sentence says that I love my parents /as well as/ Superman /as well as/ Wonder Woman. The second sentence says that I love my parents, who happen to be Superman and Wonder Woman. People omit this comma far too often and it can lead to disatrously ambiguous blunders such as in the second sentence. The Oxford comma should be mandatory in all but the most informal writing, which even then does not necessitate its exclusion. You don't even want to know the example / humor comic my teacher showed.
