This is a good question (and it's nice to see so many responses). For me, as far as canonical stuff goes, I'd vote for Caravaggio's 'The Crucifixion of Saint Peter' (1601) -

"He's taking a trip to Sausalito" is their code for when they whack somebody.

Ah, zero sugar

Ah, zero honey

You are not candy, girl
You've not got me wanting you…

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 29A (in the more-efficient hexadecimal system).

All the dumb, unenlightened people: 'We're slipping into an Orwellian dystopia, and we can't do anything to stop it!'

But the thing is, as best as I can tell, us adults really are the target audience for this, because the main point is to present a steady stream of references to geeky pop culture of the 80s and 90s.

The one actually-true Snopes story I keep coming back to is the Dolores Aguilar obituary:

It's sad, but there are a lot of lessons there. Just imagine, living your entire life in such a way so that all that your family has to say about you when you pass is basically 'they were a bad person…

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but it's worth noting that Monopoly was originally 'The Landlord's Game' and was conceived as a critique of runaway capitalism: a sort of object lesson in how monopolistic capitalism benefits few at the expense of many. Over time, the game mutated into its current form of 'capitalism…

That little fucking brat playing in the rain then has to sit in agony with his feet in pails of hot water to stave off a deathly cold, just like he fucking deserves. And that little prick reading comics instead of doing his homework? DUNCE CAP, MOTHERFUCKER.

I don't mind the cat myself, but I did enjoy this little article for how disdainful it is towards the idea: http://theweek.com/articles…

If you don't correct copy errors, your article is literally a piece of trash.

Yeah that's what I'm expecting, too - which seems kinda silly; does Bran not realize that that might be, you know, kind of an issue?

(not sure if this has already been mentioned, but) I read something somewhere by a blogger who went to college with Coulter and had a couple classes with her (I think it may have been the guy who runs We Hunted the Mammoth, though I'm not 100% sure). He said that even back then, she already had a pretty well-defined…

Arbitrary personal point: it's been interesting for me to see the recent pop-cultural influence exerted by one of my favorite artists, James Turrell. Like, check out that orange room at around 00:19 to 00:21 in the trailer, and then check out some of Turrell's installations:

Yeah, at this point it's hard for me to get too excited over CGI-heavy adventure-spectacle type stuff, but the talent involved here makes me hope that this could be something special.

You've gotta hand it to the Eurythmics - 34 years on and 'Sweet Dreams' keeps getting covered, remixed, sampled, placed in movie trailers and utilized in weird Brazilian memes.

Almost like a trust fund baby who imagines his dad’s power and money will shield him from even his worst and most inescapable transgressions

I kind of want to believe that's not a real subreddit but in my heart I know it probably is.

This is basically how I feel, as well - his movies are like eating a delightful, perfectly-cut little lemon square but the waiter forgot to bring you your actual dinner.
