    I’m pretty sure that scene has been parodied or referenced in almost every American comedic show with more than 4-5 seasons.

        Absolutely. It’s like people watching Psycho for the first time and recognizing it before the scene happens.

        Although I have to say that my favorite missed reference, is the Akira ending. Something similar happens in a bunch of animated shows(South Park as an entire episode about it, which most fans don’t realize is a direct reference). And so many people have a huge “Oh shit” moment when they see the movie and realize.

          Are you talking about the trapper keeper episode? I never made that correlation until you just mentioned it! And I’ve seen Akira many more times before and after that episode originally aired many years ago.
