In Media
References to the word "dibs" are seen near the end of "The Nerdvana Annihilation", in the beginning of the "The Rothman Disintegration" and in "The Staircase Implementation" - three episodes of The Big Bang Theory. In The Nerdvana Annihilation, the character Rajesh Koothrapali, after calling dibs on a much-desired movie prop, responds to Howard Wolowitz's claim that he can't call dibs by telling him that he can and if he doesn't believe him he should "look it up on Wikipedia".

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
