Regular Show was a pleasant little surprise in Cartoon Network’s slate of new shows last year. Featuring the kind of off the wall storylines and strange character designs not often seen in animation today, it is something I tune into every now and again. Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, was an easter egg even some SEGA fans would miss.
In the 3rd series (5th episode) of the Inbetweeners, Will gets a Wii. What Tennis game does he try out on it? Hint: Not Grand Slam Tennis or Wii Sports whatever. Its Virtua Tennis 2009.
In the show Simon is too scared to stay home alone, since his mom is going away for the weekend with an old college buddy she re-kindled with via Facebook. So he decides to ask Neil, the dim-witted friend, to stay over.
“As long as I bring my PS3 so we don’t have to play those shit Wii games” – Neil
Oh, great they had to bash the game. You can’t have a SEGA game on a show without being called shit afterwords. Curse you! E4 airs the show in Europe, America gets it on BBC America. As for the rest of the world, check here!
Something I like to do is look for SEGA related things in shows. Its like my fetish, my sick pathetic fetish.
In the newest episode of Weeds (Season 6, Episode 2), the Botwins are on the run and need to get new identities. So what do they do? Get fake IDs from a nerd. No seriously, look at him, he is a real mouth breather.
Oh, he also goes by the “Chinaman” in the show. I guess its some weird nerdy kung fu white kid stereotype thing?
