Today, in honor of Star Wars Day (“May the 4th be with you.”), we’ve gathered together 12 funny references to Star Wars from your favorite television shows. Read on to relive your favorite moments from the sci-fi franchise in parody form.
12. Scrubs
J.D.’s daydreams often takes his audience to strange worlds and weird fantasies. But this time we’re treated to a Scrubs version of Star Wars where the Janitor is a Wookie and battles are fought with laser pens. And, gasp, it’s a world where Turk has hair.
11. Robot Chicken
This stop-motion, sketch comedy show from Adult Swim, does a wonderful job depicting its take on Star Wars. In this scene, Emperor Palpatine is a particularly mean boss to Darth Vader. This sketch allows viewers to peek into a particularly funny business meeting with the emperor, and paints Darth Vader as just another pathetic bumbling employee.
10. Pinky and the Brain “Star Warners”
The entire episode takes Pinky and the Brain’s traditional quest for world-domination and expands it to the universe in this Star Wars parody. The best part? Almost every character from Animaniacs is involved. You can watch the whole episode below.
9. Coupling
“Never! You killed my erection!”
“No, Patrick. I am your erection.”
The popular Brit-com takes a fairly well-known male sexual issue and compares it to battling Darth Vader.
8. The Simpsons:
There’s a intense, allergen-ridden fight scene between Principal Skinner and Bart. The reference comes in when the entire scene is scored with music from Star Wars and the their stick/sword-fight resembles the use of light sabers.
