Era of References

A period of time between 1987 to 2000 where most Television media, specifically comedies, used references as a sense of humor, notably comedies on NBC had this in mind. The shows have a huge audience for people without internet access and have never had an interest in newer comedies.

Guy 1: Seinfeld is an Era of References show, for example, the episode "The Scofflaw" has Kramer in an eyepatch, referencing Nick Fury from the Avengers.

Guy 2: Oh, and is Friends an Era of References show?

Guy 1: Yes, in the episode "The One With The Breast Milk", Joey is in a Cowboy outfit, referencing The Lone Ranger.

refereence

A guidance or similarity provided by a sports-monitor with a whistle.

Ducky Wheeze wasn't much of a refereence regarding how a boxing match should be carried out, in dat he was totally prejudiced against Elmer Fudd, and so he totally rigged said match to ensure dat Daffy Duck would be da winner.

Making reference to

You're doing what you're doing bitch

Hym "Talking about? Undoubtedly. Making reference to? Also yes. It's this or this other thing. Let's get a peak at your wife's bank account. How much did it take to buy her off? You're a guy pretending to be another guy. You're not in a position to be calling anyone a liar. Where's you rape-wife? Where's she at? Are we going to get another 'me too' here when the money runs out?"

reference bouncing

When writing a literature review and the pile of journal articles to read never gets smaller due to finding a new relevant reference in the journal that now also needs reading

If I don't stop reference bouncing, I'm never going to finish this lit review!
