Self Defence Against Fresh Fruit - in Popular Culture

In Popular Culture

This sketch was referenced briefly in Lemony Snicket's The Slippery Slope, in which three characters are searching for something important in a refrigerator, and Snicket says that a fridge would hold a bunch of strawberries, which would be important if a man said "If you don't give me a bunch of strawberries right now, I'm going to attack you with this large pointed stick".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
