The first person to post a complete list of Alasdair's pop culture references at the end of his outros will win a prize.  I don't know what yet.


I want the following format:

Episode X:  Name of Episode.  "Alasdair's quote"  what the pop culture reference was.

Ready...
Set...
Go!

EDIT::DON'T FORGET TO USE THE PROPER WARDS!!!

Okay Z- since Al drops pop culture references throughout quite a few of his outros I'm going to need clarity. Do you mean the end quote my example being the first one I could find: "Psudopod knows about the little girl you claim to have seen but she died years ago"  or do you mean ANY pop culture quotes/references made throughout the outro? 'Cause I'm all for hours of listening to Al outros for fun. After all it's not creepy if it's for a game.  Right?

Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.

I'm referring to the closing quotes.  But, if you want to go ahead and list all of his pop culture references... well, I think you need some help!   :D  Bonus for additional info.

I don't know if I can get the prize I want to give away for this.  I'll just say that I'd like to mimic Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!

Extra note- I know I'm missing some, If noone else guesses the references I plan on putting up the quotes with a reference: ? beside it to see if anyone else knows. I've got a pretty good brain for pop culture trivia but there are some of these that have me stumped. Example: Psudopod is off down the Winchester.  I wish I were cool/smart enough to get this one but I'm totally not getting it. And Google was no help what so ever.

Wasn't that also the bar in Shaun of the Dead?

Ha!  That's the main reason I picked this for a contest.  I know a lot of them, but some of them I missed.  If it takes too long and there are some that haven't been figured out, I might lend a hand.  I'm pretty sure all the ones I know are known by others.

The title for this thread is perfect... just perfect!

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

I think you're right.  Question then, is Al referencing Shaun of  the Dead referencing Minder or is it simply coincidence?

ep 78 In a right and proper place  Quote: "Psudopod would like to know, funny lookin' how?" I believe this is from Fargo- but it's based on a google search not actual knowledge. Anyone else know?

ep 79: Ice  Quote: "Psudopod wants you to know, every species can smell it's own extenction"  Reference: Interview with a vampire

ep 80: Votary   Quote:"psudopod thinks you should get going because they mostly come out at night, mostly"  Reference: Aliens

I'm terrible at references. I don't know how Al does it :D.

But it would make me very happy if he were to do one along these lines:

"Pseudopod wants you to know that I'm not coming back"

which is a reference to Knives Out by radiohead  :P :P

yeah...

I need something relevant here.

Pseudopod wants you to know that the sky just caught fire. there's not going to be a lull.

Where's that from and what's the reference?

Not getting the reference- it makes my brain hurt because it sounds soo familiar.

Same. I just know I've heard it before.

And that single RH reference has opened up a torrent of them in my mind... i'll never be able to stop...

Pseudopod wants you to know that the appliances have gone beserk.
(Last Flowers)
Pseudopod floats down the liffey.
(How To Disappear Completely)
Pseudopod wants you to know that we've got it all here in Red Blue Green.
(Videotape)
Pseudopod wants you to know that there's nothing to fear and nothing to doubt.
(Pyramid Song)
Pseudopod is sick of its clock stopping, winding up...
(Obscure early version of No Surprises)

or al could just scream
"LIGHTEN UP! YOU TAKE THINGS TOO SERIUSLEEEEEEEEEE!"

this is trolling of the most despicable kind. I'll stop now. Feel free to hit me with sticks (eddie izzard reference)

*collapses to the floor, twitching slightly*

"Quick... must... die... in... symbolic way..."
*carves the words "I'm not here, this isn't happening" into naked torso (i'm always naked for some reason)*
"Best... final act... ever..."

Russel Nash looks on, bewildered as police sirens blare in the background.

"For crying out loud! You can't arrest me! I'm a deity, so back off!"
