Everyone loves Dune refernces, right?

(1/4) > >>

KID:
Ever been watching TV when a Dune reference pops out of nowhere? And you're all like, Hot damn, I can't believe they just said that? Isn't that feeling awesome?

Examples: Earthworm Jim, The animated series: Peter Puppy recites the Litany Against Fear. In two separate episodes.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: Billy is subjected to various tests, one of which is the Gom Jabbar. "It burns!"

I wish I could think of more, but I can't. Anyone else got some?

Scytale:
My User names a nod to Dune...

Fiddler:
So it is!  I never linked the two until now.  I had completely forgotten about that character haha.

I saw that one! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. Technically, they got it wrong (the Gom Jabbar is the poison needle, not the box) but I gave them props for it anyway.

In the movie Beetlejuice, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis' ghosts can't leave their house because it's in the middle of a desert full of sandworms. They don't look quite like you'd expect, but they're definitely Dune-inspired.

Han Solo was a spice smuggler. Also, Obi-Wan Kenobi is clearing using Voice against those guards outside the cantina in Episode IV. Anakin uses Voice on the dope dealer in the bar in Episode II. Lucas was a huge Dune fan.

Liz:
They asked questions about Dune so much in Knowledge Bowl (and it was always the same questions too) that I, having never read it, could answer them. That is all kinds of sad.
