Golden balls!
Lallies eleven!!!!!!!!!!
Corrie is officially the gayest thing on TV. Love it.
Oh, and Norris's bird phobia is hilarious - especially the bit straight out of The Birds from the other day.

...and Ian McKellen - so it can get gayer.

Just when I thought this thread was going to die:
"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, not around the eyes, look into my eyes."
"Three-two-one, you're back in the room."
Okay, so Charlie's a tool, but it was funny at first.

A tool with a nice bod.
It's the second gratuitous, pointless flash of his torso we've had in the last few episodes - keep it coming, Corrie.
Blanche and her tarty mate using "that search thing" on Ken's laptop was quite funny.

Shelley's impersonation of the House Doctor was nice.
(Mancunian American accent): "Your couch smells of dawg!"

I think this sort of counts, but it was an Eastenders one:
Kat (delivering the line in that same, vicious way she's been delivering all of her lines to Chrissie) : Oh, that's right. It was Mrs. Watts, with the doorstop, in the pub!
Well, it's a Cluedo reference! It made me happy. I'm sure I've completely misquoted it so that it loses all comic value, sorry. Anyway, I think I love Neighbours the most for the pop-culture references, though. It is awesome. I miss it.

I only caught the last five minutes of today's Corrie, and a rabbit was compared to Rik Waller.

And let's not forget Fiz telling Sean he had "Munchausen's by Bunny". Not exactly a pop-culture reference, but still very funny.

Ah yes, I noticed that!
I was going to write "Munchausen's by Rabbit" though, so I'm glad I didn't say anything, as that would be wrong.
Corrie just gets better ALL the time.

Hello. Tim. The Vet. Not pop-culture, but I'm sure most of us would.

Hello. Tim. The Vet. Not pop-culture, but I'm sure most of us would. Yep. Twice and sideways. He wouldn't even see it coming! Yum yum! Anyway, yesterday David sang "Plenty more fish in the sea!" to Scooter in regard to his Koi Carpe trouble. A Streets reference in the street!

Pop culture misfire tonight, I thought:
SARAH: "You never see goldfish on Animal Hospital, do you?"
I'm not sure you see anything on Animal Hospital any more - it hasn't been on for years. And it just seemed unnatural coming from Sarah. It just doesn't strike me as the sort of thing she'd drop into conversation, even if she does remember it.

I love Dierdre's singing. And it's not quite pop-culture, but Cilla on the mobility scooter thing is the funniest thing I've seen in the last 24 hours, and that includes Extras and Catherine Tate.
And I love that the website announcement at the end is sponsored by DialALoan.com

Yes indeed, Deirdre singing 'It's Raining Men' will stay with me until the day I die. And there I was thinking that Vonda Shepherd's version would be the most terrifying one I ever encountered on TV.
And in the non pop-culture front:
How fabulous is Yana? Seriously, I love her. More Yana, please.
And this exchange will go down in the history of all-time great dialogue:
JOANNE: I once knew someone who got a contact lens stuck in her eye. It got stuck in the part of the brain that deals with language, and now she speaks nothing but Urdu. KELLY: There's a language called hairdo?
It's all in the pronunciation, but trust me, I laughed until I was almost sick.

I know it was Neighbours, but Stingray said the other day
'He was after it like a soap star after a record contract', which made me smile especially since it was in the Scully house.

Another good, if sly, one tonight: Nathan calling a blue bobble hat-wearing Fred "Cartman".

Danny Baldwin's mother is from El Dorado! She was the mother of Blair, the ugliest soap character ever, and Nessa, the only crippled soap star ever. And she was married to a man with a beard. Her name has yet to come to me.... I'm thinking Gwen?

Gwen Lockhart Lockhead.

I knew I recognised her from somewhere! I even purposely watched the credits to try to catch the actress's name, but I missed it.
Another mystery solved.

Not a pop culture reference as such, but I loved the judge recognising Gail on Friday and suggesting that she might not be the best judge of character having married Richard Hillman. Most soaps would have forgotten a detail like that.

The Desperate Housewives pop-culture reference was the best of them all. So far.

I loved Liz's encounter with an amateur Helmut Newton - when presented with a saddle she enquired if he wanted her to sit on it, he replied that he'd rather she wore it! This was really too much for me, I couldn't stop laughing, I even looked out a Helmut Newton photo so I could share the joke more fully with my mother.

Now Emmerdale's getting in on the game, with Diana singing along to 'Is This The Way To Amarillo' at the wheel of her car, and Donna in the back rolling her eyes and asking Paul The Drag Queen if he's got any Girls Aloud.

Last night's episode was a work of genius. Not only numerous, multiple pop cultural references, but comedy storylines and scenes-that-really-have-no-apparent-meaning. Perfect for a bank holiday.
Add to that: Janice's no-hair cut (why have they done this?) and that new gardener who can trim my bush any day fnar fnar, etc.
