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.

Get the Era of References mug.

Illiterary Reference

When you quote with confidence from a work of literature but get it horribly wrong.

I said to my wife, you know like in Moby Dick, “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.” To which she responded, that’s from Little Women. Nice illiterary reference.
