* ''Film/{{Burnt}}'': David uses a ''Franchise/StarWars'' analogy to try to explain the importance of Michelin stars to his girlfriend. He says that to get one star, a chef needs to be Luke Skywalker, but when he gets to two stars, he forgets who Obi-Wan Kenobi is and just refers to him as "whoever Creator/AlecGuinness was".

Tom is not impressed, saying that he's "running a kindergarten here."

* In ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'': Back in the [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 first game]], the Squid Sisters were all the rage. In the time between the first and second games, the two have gotten even bigger solo careers, yet Agent 4 has never heard of them. Marie doing her iconic "Stay Fresh!" pose only elicits a blank stare. This ends up being because Agent 4 themselves just doesn't pay attention to pop culture whatsoever, which is brought up in the game's official relationship chart.

* Music/VladimirVysotsky's "Song about Franchise/JamesBond, Agent 007" tells the story of titular agent (described as an actor, and a ridiculously popular one, but referred to as "07" throughout the song) arriving to the Soviet Union to take part in an international coproduction, where he finds himself completely unrecognized by anyone, to the point of being mistaken for a homeless man. According to Vysotsky, this was inspired by Creator/SeanConnery's experiences in the Soviet Union during the production of ''Film/TheRedTent1969''.
