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:
“Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all.”
—Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
