Line 187:
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' (not known for its continuity) has a moment in the "The Deadly Years" where [[The Kirk|Kirk]] references the Corbomite Self-Destruct Device from "The Corbomite Maneuver" in order to bluff some Romulans. Some of the Bridge Crew actually smile when he makes the broadcast. There's another one in "The Trouble with Tribbles" when the Klingon commander makes a reference to the Organian peace treaty. In "Errand of Mercy", the Organians intervened to stop the Klingons and [[The Federation]] trying to kill each other - apparently they're still watching.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''
** In the pilot episode, someone mentions "... [[Star Trek: The Original Series|an Admiral]] who [[Running Gag|hates transporters]]." The importance of this can best be summed up in a quote from [[Wil Wheaton]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20101223165357/http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/01/03/star-trek-the-next-generation-encounter-at-farpoint-part-i
** In the episode "Family", [[The Captain|Picard]] takes shore leave on the French vineyard where he grew up, and before he leaves, his brother gives him a bottle of homemade wine. Later, in the episode "First Contact", before Picard offers a toast to the new friendship between an alien species, he explicitly mentions that he got the wine back home.
* In 1976, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz was forced to resign because he made a racist joke (cleaned up here): "What blacks want is good sex, loose shoes and a warm place to go to the bathroom." ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', in the News portion of the program, led with this story, stating the joke as given above. At the end of the "news" broadcast, 10 or 15 minutes later, they announced that Muhammad Ali was considering retiring from boxing. According to reader, all Ali wanted was good sex, loose shoes and a warm place to go to the bathroom.
