Saw Star Wars 27 Times: Difference between revisions

** They and Elliot have also watched ''[[Red Dawn]]'' together, two at a time or all three of them, many, many times.

* Fox Mulder of ''[[The X-Files]]'' reveals in the episode "Hollywood, A.D." that he has seen ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]'' [[42|forty-two]] times. He claims that the sheer badness of the film numbs his brain, allowing him to make intuitive leaps and solve problems that have him stumped.

'''Scully:''' Doesn't that make you sad? It makes ''me'' sad. }}

** In an earlier episode, the agents ran across a woman who was convinced she'd been impregnated by Luke Skywalker. This becomes even more hilarious when it is revealed she's seen ''Star Wars'' 368 times, and was hoping to break 400 by Memorial Day.

* Teal'c of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' has seen ''[[Star Wars]]'' ten times. Not that large a number compared to some on this page, but the humor comes from the fact that he's an alien himself.

** Seconds later the joke is reversed when it's revealed that O'Neill has not seen Star Wars ''even ONE time'' and Carter considers ''him'' to be the weird one.

* In ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', when Carlton's ex-girlfriend comes back with a baby she claims is his, Will explains to Phil and Vivian that the baby belongs to "a young man who has seen ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' 8 times."

* Humorously used in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAzwTHBLGOg#t=00m15s this scene] in ''[[The Wonder Years]]'' episode "Eclipse" where Chuck, who is uncomfortable with the creepy man who picked him up while he was hitchhiking, tries to lighten the mood by sharing how he's reminded of an ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]'' story about a man with "a big butcher knife" who was picking up hitchhikers. Getting creeped out by the man again, Chuck decides to drop the discussion, leading to the following exchange:

'''Creepy Guy:''' 27 times! ''[creepy stare]'' }}

:: Chuck quickly leaps out of the moving pickup truck.

* From "Cable TV" by [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]:

Aw, but [[You're Just Jealous|they're just jealous]], 'cause I've seen ''Porky's'',<br />

[[Arc Number|Twenty-seven]] times this week. }}

* From the song "Nineteen Something" by Mark Willis:

* From a ''[[Peanuts]]'' [[Sunday Strip]] of the early 1970s:

** Charles Schulz used ''Citizen Kane'' for this a few times. The strip where Lucy [[It Was His Sled|spoils the ending]] for Linus has her say she's seen it "about 10 times", and there's another strip where Sally is in the movie theater line behind Linus talking about how she's pretending they're on a date, until Linus gets to the box office and says, "One, please!" Cut to Sally in front of the TV.

'''Sally:''' I am. I'm watching ''Citizen Kane'' for the eighth time. }}

* In a series of ''[[FoxTrot]]'' strips, Roger gets concerned over Andy watching ''[[Titanic]]'' way too many times. She even admits going all the way to the cinema and watching it ''twice in a row''.

** In another series of strips, Peter gets a job as a theater cashier on the eve of ''[[Star Wars the Phantom Menace]]''. After rattling off all the showtimes to a kid in a sith costume, the kid asks for 6 tickets.

'''''Star Wars'' Fanboy:''' One of each, obviously. }}

** Another strip has Jason camping out (on his computer server) to get tickets to see ''[[Attack of the Clones]]''.

'''Jason:''' Guess who has tickets to four consecutive showings of ''[[Star Wars]]''? }}

** An early strip has Peter renting the movie ''[[Raising Arizona]]'', which Paige says Peter has seen about four zillion times. He explains it's because Holly Hunter is in it. Paige says "Oh, '''that's''' a reason". However, it turns out the video store screwed up and gave Peter a tape of ''[[Dirty Dancing]]''. Paige wants to watch it, and Peter says she has seen it eight billion times. Paige explains it's because Patrick Swayne is in it, resulting in the [[Ironic Echo]] of Peter saying "Oh, '''that's''' a reason."

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie," Milhouse brags about seeing the ''Itchy & Scratchy'' movie 15 times and Nelson brags that he saw it 17 times. Bart (who has been grounded from seeing the movie after failing to watch Maggie) tries to joke that the two must have been sick of seeing it and ends up getting chased by Nelson and Milhouse.

** In "Co-Dependents Day", after the latest ''[[Writing Around Trademarks|Cosmic Wars]]'' movie "The Gathering Shadow" is a disappointment, Comic Book Guy makes the following comment.

* In an episode of ''[[Doug]]'', the title character mentions in his voice-over that he and Skeeter saw a Smash Adams movie 7 times.

* According to ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' episode "The DVD", Gumball is said to have seen "Alligators on a Train" 72 times.
