'Fight Club' Referenced In Two Major TV Shows Last Night
This is becoming more and more a part of our pop culture. So I tend to not always report about it. But then again, every now and then, it's just fun to mention:
I was watching CBS tonight and there were Fight Club references in both CSI and Criminal Minds. In CSI a joke was made referencing the first rule of Fight Club. Three girls are in a diet club and a joke is made saying "the first rule of diet club is you don't talk about diet club". I thought this was pretty funny. In Criminal Minds there was a fight club that the killer belonged to. The FBI goes to this fight club while a fight is going on and breaks it up and interviews one member. This member goes on to say that at Fight Club there are no names only nick names. I thought it was really cool that 2 separates shows both had Fight Club references in them on the same night of television..Feel free to pass this info on
Props to Andy Ponti for the scoop.

THERE WAS ALSO A FIGHT CLUB REFERENCE.....
On 30 Rock [nbc] last week!
Liz was on leave from work, and was looking for something to do while not working. She met a woman in her building, who introduced her to a group of about 10 women. They went and got facials, had drinks, went for sushi, etc, and Liz had gotten used to it. But the women said "No, that wasn't enough." And then they proceed to say "hit me as hard as you can". And all of the women start beating the crap out of each other. Liz even asks "what is this, some kind of fight club? ughhh"
Ha, I forgot abot the 30 Rock reference. That show is just amazing...
Can't say I ever watch CBS.
haha i just watched that 30 rock episode and laughed so much
They reference it in Grey's Anatomy too. Saying that things they can't talk about are "Fight Club" and that they can't talk about it.
One of my favorite references is from the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost series 'Spaced'. In the episode, there's a club where guys build remote-control robots that fight each other, like Battlebots.
Announcer: The first rule of robot club is... you do not talk about robot club. The second rule of robot club is... you do not talk about... wait I've got that wrong... [Pulls out piece of paper] The second rule is, no smoking.
Tim: Why aren't you allowed to smoke?
Mike: Shhh! You're not supposed to talk about it!
There are several fight club references in episodes of NCIS. The Whitest Kids U' Know have also done a sketch parodying it.
