The Soup Nazi - Legacy

Legacy

• Like Jackie Chiles, the Soup Nazi has appeared in commercials after the end of the series. In an advertisement by the Center for Consumer Freedom, he denies food to people he considers to be too fat.
• Larry Thomas appeared as himself in the Scrubs episode "My Self-Examination." He denies he is the Soup Nazi when asked by J.D. (Zach Braff), who then tricks him into saying the catchphrase "No soup for you!" by asking him "What is again? It's like, 'You're out of luck in the soup department...'"
• In August 2009, Albert Gonzalez was convicted for robbery, being the most prolific hacker of credit cards (130 million). He operated on the Internet using the handle: "Soupnazi."
• Larry Thomas has used the character to promote soup kitchens for the homeless.
• Larry Thomas appeared, in character, along with Jerry Seinfeld in a television commercial for Acura that aired during the 2012 Super Bowl. In the advertisement, Seinfeld is trying to bribe an ordinary guy to get an Acura, offering him soup from The Soup Nazi, who happily offers "Soup for you!".
• Washington D.C. Rapper Wale used lines from the episode as an introduction and outro to his song "The Soup" on his More About Nothing Mix-Tape. He acts as the Soup Nazi and uses the catchphrase "No soup for you!"
• In the 2010 reboot of classic video game NBA Jam for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, when an alley-oop maneuver is blocked by an opponent, you can hear the announcer say, "No hoop for you!" In 2011's NBA Jam: On-Fire Edition, the tagline "No soup for you!" can be purchased among numerous rewards for the player's card.
• In July 2012, the Seinfeld Food Truck embarked on an eight-stop United States tour. The truck, driven by Soup Nazi actor Larry Thomas, handed out free soup, Snapple, Twix, Junior Mints, black and white cookies and muffin tops.
• In 2013, Serbu Firearms refused to sell their model BFG-50A semi-automatic .50 rifles to the New York City Police Department after the passage of the NY SAFE Act that classified their weapon as an assault rifle. Following their refusal to sell the rifles, Serbu then had tee shirts printed with an image of the The Soup Nazi character with the words "No Serbu For You". Thomas, a gun control advocate, contacted Facebook and the T-shirt printers to have the shirts removed. Serbu has since removed the image of Thomas and replaced it with one of their founder Mark Serbu.
