Okay, we're used to films, TV programmes etc, making use of cultural references, often in obsessively children's entertainment to give the adults something to laugh at, but I've just watched a pre-school kids cartoon called Hey Duggee referencing Apocalypse Now!

It was the River Badge episode. |

The only problem with cultural references today is that there are so many inputs, it's hard to have a single culture. Ok, it's probably always been difficult, but I think it's getting harder. Example:
Beevus: "Did you catch the new show on Netflix?"
His friend: "I don't have Netflix, but there's a great sci-fi show on Hulu."
Beevus: "Oh, I don't have Hulu. But hey, Youtube's got some parkour videos."
His friend: "Par-what now?" |

Oh yeah, "Parkour Lewis Can't Lose", that was a great TV show… ;-) |

Hmmmm….Maybe you're thinking of Peter Parkour as the host of a show about an urban youth who acrobats all over a city? |
