In Popular Culture
- In The Simpsons episode "Bart on the Road", Bart, Nelson, and Milhouse use Bart's fake driver's license to get into the theatre to see an adult film. The film they choose, based on its rating, is Naked Lunch. When they exit, Nelson looks up to the marquee and says, "I can think of at least two things wrong with that title."
- In 1994, Bomb the Bass released the single "Bug Powder Dust" which opens with the quote "I think its time to discuss your, uh, philosophy of drug use as it relates to artistic endeavour" and closes with the quote "I think its time for you boys to share my last taste of the true black meat: the flesh of the giant aquatic Brazilian centipede." The song also includes various other quotes, items and themes from the film woven into the lyrics. Additionally, the album as a whole, "Clear" is stylised to be reminiscent of the film's advertising material.
