** Indy also repeats his iconic line in the second part of the pilot, ''Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal'', while fighting with villain Demetrios for an ancient piece of art that he (presumably) intended to sell in the black market.

* In the tamales episode of ''[[Good Eats]]'', the [[Speak of the Devil|Nutritional Anthropologist]] Deborah Duchon and Alton are arguing over the eventual fate of a Mayan recipe wall. Interestingly, [[The Hero|Alton]] is telling her to [[No MacGuffin, No Winner|let the wall stay where it is]] (instead of destroying part of the temple) while Deb [[Ironic Echo|says]] that [[It Belongs in a Museum]]. ''Her'' museum, specifically. Which is when the entire thing (inevitably, perhaps) collapses into a parody of ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', complete with Hovitos and "if only they knew you as I know you"/"you could tell them, if only you spoke Hovitos."
