In Popular Culture
Saturday Night Live spoofed "War Horse" on an episode aired December 17, 2011. The sketch features a British couple (played by Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig) attending a regional production of "War Horse." Instead of a life-size horse puppet, the role of Joey is played by host Jimmy Fallon, who cavorts around the stage, slapping his legs in an imitation of hoofbeats, neighing, and eventually robot dancing. In Act 2, the role of Albert is played by a hand puppet operated by Kenan Thompson, who eventually declares, "You're not just a War Horse, Joey! You're a Friend Horse!"

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“What’s wrong, a little pavement sickness?”
—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
