"That happened to you too?"

[Tolen Mar]

Ok, so the Twilight Zone movie was on last night, and the bit with John Lithgow on the airplane comes on.

My wife and I each look at the other (as we do everytime we see it), and quote Third Rock From The Sun.

Shatner "..It was horrible, there was some sort of creature on the wing!"
Lithgow "That happened to you too!?"*

How many other people can't help but remember that particular line when they see either the old Twilight Zone episode (with William Shatner), the movie (with John Lithgow) or Third Rock (with both)?

Or are my wife and I just that wierd?


(*This may not be the actual quote, as it has been some time since I've seen the show, but its close enough.)

 

[Viking Bastard]

Huh.

You see, I remember that quote from the show, but as I've never seen the TZ movie,
I thought it was merely a humourus stab at Shatner's episode.

But double injoke? Huh.

 

[Tolen Mar]

Nope, in the movie, Lithgow plays the same part Shatner did.

My wife and I were practically rolling on the floor when we heard that line.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Nope, in the movie, Lithgow plays the same part Shatner did.

Don't you mean yes?

Double injoke that is.

 

[Crothian]

I never think of it since I never watched third rock

 

[Dagger75]

I can't believe you posted on a public forum that you watch 3rd Rock from the Sun.

 

[Tolen Mar]

Ok, yes, I did mean "Yep, thats a double in-joke"

And I watched past tense Third Rock.

Besides, whats wrong with that?

 

[Crothian]

Well, the series is over so its all pretty much past tense isn't it?

 

[BrooklynKnight]

speaking of In-jokes involving William Shatner, did anyone see Boston Legal last week? They got Shatner to mention Klingons......

 

[BrooklynKnight]

I think specifically they got him to say he hated klingons
