On December 5, 2010, "The Fight Before Christmas", the eighth episode of The Simpsons' twenty-second season, featured an Inglourious Basterds sequence during a World War II flashback.
When the Jewish, 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m), 314-pound American football player Gabe Carimi was drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, he was nicknamed "The Bear Jew", a reference to the character in Inglourious Basterds.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
