<p>There’s a Woody Allen play in which a filmmaker (or something like that) meets a crazy bum who went to Brown and majored in Sanskrit. I love how Brown is the butt of so many jokes. What other Brown references in pop culture can you guys think of?</p>
<p>You sure are a very prolific new poster, aren't you? And so focused on the Brown boards, too. Did you just find out about CC?</p>
<p>Isn't Brown mentioned in that movie "The Wedding Date"?</p>
<p>Other than that, I don't know. I never hear of Brown :( lol</p>
<p>Hee hee, kinda. My mom's been reading posts on this site since the summer as a "lurker" (she used to be so embarrassed about looking at this site that she'd close the window whenever I came into the room). I started to read the posts as a lurker after I got into college; I was too stubborn to register on CC, but I finally registered today primarily because I'm bored and I want to meet other kids (especially other Brownies). It's nice to meet you :). You're quite the prolific poster yourself (1,375! :) ).</p>
<p>There are a few Brown jokes on the Simpsons. I think, in one, Lisa fails gym or something and she imagines that, in the future, the Harvard admissions officer says, "You're not suitable for our school, but I'd like you to introduce you to my good friend, the Brown admissions officer." And Lisa screams, "Nooooooo!" Something like that.</p>
<p>Also, Otto (the lazy pothead busdriver on the Simpsons) went to Brown.</p>
<p>Those Harvard-graduate Simpsons writers make me so mad lol</p>
<p>Then again, they poke fun at Yale, too.</p>
<p>I though Otto almost got tenure at Brown (that's what I found from some research).</p>
<p>there are lots</p>
<p>The Simpsons: there are several. Otto almost becomes a tenured professor, Lisa gets denied by Harvard and has her applicant passed along to Brown...</p>
<p>the Family Guy: several here as well. they all visit an animated version of the campus, stewie sings a song about RI in which he mentions "students who were rejected from harvard and forced to go to brown"</p>
<p>Waterfalls: show on Fox about a Brown University burn-out</p>
<p>The West Wing: character mentions his choate-brown-harvard pedigree</p>
<p>Gilmore Girls</p>
<p>Brown was recently a category on Jeopardy</p>
<p>a bunch of movies: as good as it gets, varsity blues, outside providence, mona lisa's smile, me myself and irene, anger management, the wedding date, my best friend's wedding, anywhere but here</p>
<p>hahaha, it's cause a lot of the writer's for the simpsons (including ex-writer Conan O Brien) went to Harvard and they like to poke fun :)</p>

<p>nice to see you again anna :)</p>
<p>No way! Conan O'Brien went to Harvard? I am in shock.</p>
<p>Not that I should be surprised. He's pretty funny.</p>
<p>Yes, starryeyedgirl, that's where I did my "research".</p>
<p>Nice to see you, too, StarryEyed/Anna #2 :). I'm so glad I finally registered with CC.</p>
<p>LOL yes I am a prolific poster. It's nice to meet you and I hope to see you at Brown in the fall! (Not all of us have been accepted yet :))</p>
<p>Well, if you don't get into Brown, you can always go to Wesleyan ;).</p>
<p>In the show Family Guy Brian Griffinn (the dog) attended Brown. The evil baby makes friends with some hot girls from Brown, and Peter tries to bribe some clerk at the admissions office with 2 bucs to get his daugther into Brown. </p>
<p>God i love family guy. If you listen to the evil baby, he's just replete with SAT vocab words... lol</p>
<p>Wesleyan? Nope, I didn't even apply. There is no substitute for Brown, in my opinion. :)</p>
<p>I'd second that, calidan.</p>
<p>Family Guy is the best show in the world (well, it's tied with The Simpsons). I missed American Dad Sunday Night. Was it anywhere near as good as Family Guy?</p>
<p>on the subject of Conan O'Brien: he even came back to H and delivered a commencement speech to the class of 2000. The link to the speech is below; it's pretty funny :)</p>
<p>Conan is so much better than Leno or Letterman.</p>
<p>I don't even like his humor that much, but he makes me laugh anyway. It is impossible to not laugh at him.</p>
<p>i love conan!!</p>
<p>to rank late night tv i would have to say:</p>
<p>super #1: conan</p>
<h1>2: letterman</h1>
<h1>67: my left foot</h1>
<h1>1,058: leno</h1>
<p>:)</p>
<p>i also love Jon Stewart, though he isn't technically late night lol</p>
<p>For some reason, I prefer to watch Leno over Letterman.</p>
