ENTER! TV & Media Avatar Contest: Tributes of Steel

[Kai "the spy"]

Hey, everyone!

Not sure about the theme. Not on an originality level, but whether there's actually enough material to work with.

So, in honour of both the 75th anniversary of Superman and the release of "Man of Steel", let's remember the tributes and references of the first superhero from TV and movies, but no SF/F. I'm also unsure whether to allow "Seinfeld" and/or "Big Bang Theory" entries, because I'm afraid there'd be dozens of those and barely anything else. Right now, I'm going to allow those, but I'd urge you to come up with something else.

Also, it must be a clear reference to Superman, not to Superheroes in general. He must be mentioned, or it must be the \S/ on a T-shirt, or a Halloween costume, or something like that.

Usual rules on size and all that, of course.

Here's my entry:

So, let's see if this is going anywhere.

 

[Winged Victory]

^ah, Krusty! That's going to be hard to beat!

From Tiny Toon Adventures. I loved that show when I was a kid.

 

[Saga]

not exactly a tribute, but would you accept this...

 

[auntiehill]

 

[Starkers]

Does this count? (I appreciate she's technically homage'ing Supergirl but thought I'd give it a go)

 

[od0_ital]

^

I think I'm gonna use Friends, too...

...from the one with the holiday armadillo.

not exactly a tribute, but would you accept this...

Yes, most definitely.

Does this count? (I appreciate she's technically homage'ing Supergirl but thought I'd give it a go)

Well, Supergirl is part of the Superman franchise, so yes, this counts.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Cool.

Read 'em and weep. Lucy Ricardo dressed up as Superman, hanging out on a ledge with Superman.

One of the funniest Lucy shows. Cool.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

I'm actually unfamiliar with that one.

 

[auntiehill]

That's from The Goonies, isn't it?

 

[Showdown]

Eric as Superman and his friends as Super Friends from That 70s show

 

[Gov Kodos]

That's from The Goonies, isn't it?

Yup!

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I'm actually unfamiliar with that one.

That's from The Goonies, isn't it?

Yup!

It's only one of the best 1980s adventure films ever.

 

[the G-man]

^ah, Krusty! That's going to be hard to beat!

From Tiny Toon Adventures. I loved that show when I was a kid.

Wouldn't TTA count as SF/F if, for no other reason, it featured talking animals and a Superman cameo?

Same question, re: the basic premise of the movie.

I ask because if we are going to allow SF/F I have an idea I want to use.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

^ You got a point. In a way, even Krusty is debatable for all the instances of SF/F on "The Simpsons".

Unless somebody has a problem with this, I'll just suspend the SF/F rule and simply exclude official appearances of Superman (i.e., DC Comics, DC-based Animation, Superman TV shows and movies).

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Any more entries?!
