The main reason I'm bringing this up is because someone on another website I'm regularly on recently criticized me for my overuse of pop culture references. I'm a member of the squad who tracks down trolls and vandals and attempts to ban them on that particular site (it's a forum about The Muppets in case you wondering btw). There were two times that I outright embarrassed myself by needlessly mentioning a pop culture icon. They were:

-I was discussing one of the trolls I encountered and said "He's a bully like Biff from Back To the Future. Couldn't I have JUST as easily simply said "He's a bully," without adding that reference at the end to "spice things up". That one embarrasses the crap out of me looking back on it.

-The other one was when I was discussing some guy who was on online predator and directly showed an image of the Predator alien from the movie Predator at the end. Again, did I REALLY need to include a reference in that post? Especially considering online predators are NOT a laughing matter. I facepalm hard at the mere thought of that one.
