* When people talk about ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', Kramer's first name will ''never'' be mentioned, not even to state his full name. Even if the other three leads are mentioned by their full names, Kramer will always be called just Kramer. In fairness Kramer didn't ''have a first name'' for the first 5 seasons and it was a bit of a RunningGag. Newman is the only side character that is likely to warrant a mention.

** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in one episode. Vamps are preying on college freshmen, killing them and stealing everything from their dorms. They have a running contest to see which artist has the most posters: Monet or Klimt. Monet is winning, if only because the only Klimt people have posters of is ''The Kiss''.

* Favorite feminist show? ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' or ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}''. Older viewers will tend to mention ''Series/CharliesAngels'' or ''Series/WonderWoman''. It also depends what your definition of ''feminist'' is. If you just mean ''show with some women with important roles in it'', well, then you can add a lot of programs.

He's [[WeirdAlEffect that guy that makes colouring pencils]], right?

To be fair, it was made for a German audience, and Germans surely heard of Dürer.
