In Popular Culture
The ALF episode Fight Back involves Willie Tanner appearing on the show after revealing a ripoff car mechanic that kept messing with his car so that he would keep coming back. The secret videotape shows Willie monologuing at Sam (the mechanic) for his role in ruining the American spirit and economy. After the secret videotape handled by ALF and Jake is edited for broadacst and shown on the show, ALF remarks, "They left my best stuff on the cutting room floor!"

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first—rock and roll or Christianity.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
