For sure. I bet there's a substantial number of people who only know of it from the references and haven't seen the show.

Absolutely. It's like people watching Psycho for the first time and recognizing it before the scene happens.

Although I have to say that my favorite missed reference, is the Akira ending. Something similar happens in a bunch of animated shows(South Park as an entire episode about it, which most fans don't realize is a direct reference). And so many people have a huge "Oh shit" moment when they see the movie and realize.

Are you talking about the trapper keeper episode? I never made that correlation until you just mentioned it! And I've seen Akira many more times before and after that episode originally aired many years ago.

Ok, I'll put Akira on my list...
