In Popular Culture
- In the science fiction movie The Terminator (1984, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), the audience at one point is treated to a view through the T-800 Model-101 robot character's eye/camera of a display of a 6502 assembly language program fragment.
- Bender, a fictional "industrial robot" manufactured in 2998, and a main character in the animated TV series Futurama created by Matt Groening, was revealed to have a 6502 as his "brain" in the episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory". David X. Cohen (the head writer and executive producer of Futurama) has claimed in an interview with IEEE Spectrum that he and friends David Borden and David Schiminovich wrote a compiler (for a custom language they created named "FLEET") for the Apple II Plus, which uses the 6502, while at high school, and confirmed that this led him to include the reference in the show.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind’s wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
