[quote="AladdinsGenie"]Sorry for bringing this topic back from the dead (I actually had to go dig for it!), but something just occured to me today while watching an episode of Family Guy. It was the New Years episode where the city is destroyed in the year 2000. Anyway, Stewie, who was turned into a mutant octopus, said the line "That's it! Game over, man! Game over!" and I immediately thought of Genie at the end of the credits on KOT. So I did a little research and found the following:

[quote]The phrase "game over" also has taken on relevance outside of gaming. It is sometimes used to signify an abrupt end, similar to the one a player might meet in a video game. In the 1986 movie Aliens, Bill Paxton's character Hudson uses the phrase to indicate what he thinks is a hopeless situation: "... Game over, man! Game over!" This phrase, shortened to "Game over, man!", was later used as part of the game over screen of the SNES video game Alien 3, based on the film of the same name.[/quote]

So, I'm guessing that's a reference to the movie Aliens. Forgive me if this is known and I am a few papers short of a paycheck.[/quote]
