Jokes you didn't get the context of?

[Yukaphile]

Since we're sharing examples, I'll give one for me. How the Daleks were pretending to be friends of the humans in "Power of the Daleks," they'd give "abortions for some, tiny American flags for others." I really didn't understand the context of that. It was a bit confusing.

But that's enough about me. How about you guys?

Took me a while to realise that was a Simpsons joke.

specifically, Treehouse of Horror VII, segment 3: Citizen Kang.

I'm sure there's a few layers in the 1980s cartoon gags that I am missing beyond "Haha, Rainbow Bright is a thing that exists" xD

He's mentioned several times how the cook would one day lock out the bridge or something. I couldn't remember when that was from. Now with the Mortal Coil review I finally remember what that was from.

Probably a reference to the Steven Seagal character from Under Siege.

[Sir Will]

No, Neelix does it in Mortal Coil.

Not sure if this is related, but I wasn't sure where else to put it:

I had an epiphany last night. I re-watched the Star Trek 5 review. Chuck comments on how the toilet has a sign on it saying to not use in space dock, but that the joke dosn't make any sense. I think I finally got it: the joke is that the toilet just flushes all the poo into space, and they don't want it getting all over spacedock.

Railway Trains (USA railroad) used to have that notice because the used to empty directly onto the track, And you don't want that in a station.

Actually that makes sense only in a railway station and NOT in space dock. A train is only at the station for a few minutes and then moves on.
