What's the oldest reference you can remember? I will probably know all of them cause I have no life.
 
The oldest ones I can think of are "Cowabunga!" from TMNT, the original My Little Pony theme song, and the CareBear Share attack-thingy. All of them are from the mid 80s - the early 90s.
 
I call my local Government Department of Human Services the Vogon Office, but I find myself having to explain it often.
And half of my conversations feature themes from DiscWorld, which also confuse more people than they amuse.
 
This is a pretty open question...It could mean practically anything.


That 'bible' quote from Pulp Fiction is technically pretty old, even if when I say it I'm referencing Pulp Fiction and not the actual original source material.
 
the first thing I thought of was 'theres a fire in my laser' (or w/e the saying went) and I'm honestly so ashamed thats the first thing I thought of.

I know a lot of obscure music references because I'm a loser but w/e
 
Well, here's a (not so) good insult I just came up with that, uh, makes a reference to something very old.

"Yo mama so fat she's bigger than the Venus of Willendorf!"

The Venus of Wllendorf is actually like a few inches tall I'm sorry
 
from media, I guess "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" from gone with the wind
or if you mean from the earliest age I can remember is probably "Luke I am your father" because of my brother. I'm aware the quote itself is not "Luke I am your father" but it's the popular version of the quote so whatevs

It's amazing how everyone is confused by this thread...

I thought it was supposed to be the oldest meme you can remember. Like "If I fits, I sits" or something.
 
I can list all the references i used in my high school research paper.
 
This thread seems older than the paintings of Altamira!

huehuehue I referenced something old again. Do I get a prize? Anyone?
 
The first thing I thought of was "It's not pink, it's lightish red!"
From Red vs Blue
That counts, right? It's like, over 10 years old or something. Is that what you're looking for?
I dunno.
 
Oy, does anyone remember the "I'm Just A Bill" song from School House Rock? It used to air on ABC's One Saturday Morning in the 90s, but I'm pretty sure it's older than I am.
