The episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land" of the animated series The Simpsons in which a horde of Itchy and Scratchy robots go on a murderous rampage is largely inspired by the plotof Westworld. Another episode of The Simpsons, "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" also features a parody of Westworld with Principal Skinner chasing Bart endlessly as in the film
In the film, "Iron Man 3", Tony Stark refers to the Mandarin's main henchman, Eric Savin as "Westworld" due to his shaven head and his relentless pursuit due to bio-engineering which rendered him nearly invincible.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
