- The Simpsons character Ned Flanders is an alumnus of Oral Roberts University. In one episode, Ned mentions his membership in a fraternity, although Oral Roberts University does not have formal fraternities. In another episode, Flanders' degree can be seen hanging on the wall of the Simpsons' home, as Homer scratches out the name "Ned Flanders" and scribbles in his own.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.”
—Anonymous. Popular saying.
Dating from World War I—when it was used by U.S. soldiers—or before, the saying was associated with nightclub hostess Texas Quinan in the 1920s. It was the title of a song recorded by Sophie Tucker in 1927, and of a Cole Porter musical in 1929.
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
