Line 192:
=== Music ===
* [[Fountains of Wayne]]'s "I'll Do the Driving" includes an example, although the subject of the song makes the mangled reference without any prompting:
{{quote|''We're out, the jukebox plays "Jumping Jack Flash"''
''She says "I love Johnny Cash, the man in red"''
''I turn my head and pretend not to hear what she said'' }}
Line 229:
(previously called "Type 4")
=== Comic Books ===
* An example from [[Older Than They Think]] fits here, as a clash of [[Pop Cultural Osmosis]]: An in-universe example has [[Superboy]] saying to [[Superman]] "Second star to the right and straight on till morning." When Superman says "''[[Peter Pan]]''. How appropriate." Superboy replies "What are you talking about? [[Star Trek|Captain Kirk]] said that," in reference to Kirk's closing line at the end of ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'' where he was clearly quoting ''Peter Pan''.
* In a ''[[Robin]]'' annual, Huntress tells Robin it was a clever idea of his to wear mirrors under their ponchos (to blind their enemies in a gunfight). He says he got the idea from an old movie. She says "''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]'', huh?" and he replies "No. ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]] III''.
* In ''[[Fanhunter]]'', it goes something like this:
{{quote|'''John Konstantin:''' I'm still touched by listening to "Fly Me to the Moon".
'''Other guy:''' The classic song by [[Frank Sinatra]]?
'''John Konstantin:''' No, the ending of ''[[Evangelion]]''.
:: The trope is actually used twice here, since the song was written by Bart Howard, first recorded by Kaye Ballard in 1954 and [[Covered Up|only recorded by Frank Sinatra 10 years later]].
* In one issue of ''[[The Sandman]]'', Matthew the Raven [[The Raven (poem)|perches on a bust and says "Nevermore!"]], then says he got it from the [[Roger Corman]] movie.
Line 246:
=== Real Life ===
* Pop Cultural Osmosis Failure marches on: the question "[[Paul McCartney]] was in [[The Beatles (band)|a band]] before [[Wings (band)|Wings]]?" has been replaced almost everywhere with "Paul McCartney was in a band?" ... except where it's been re-replaced with "[[Small Reference Pools|Who's Paul McCartney?]]" Any of these are often heard as jokes, and occasionally heard as serious questions.
