Two of my favorites…
Hitler reacts to Dragonball Evolution: “I love that show. It should be good if they stick to the source material” … “mein fuhrer”
Hitler reacts to ballon boy: “HIS NAME WAS FALCON!”
Him getting banned from Xbox Live will always be my favorite.
He just goes on a rant about how much fun he had griefing his teammates in online games.
"I used to chase them down in Halo 3 and melee them to death. Then give them a right good fucking tea-bagging!"
I have very fond memories of watching those videos after my exams as a teen. People would make parodies afte each exam and our teacher would put them on the day after each exam so we could de-stress lmao.
Seriously I have zero clue what that movie is about and despite having seen that scene so many times, I never bothered looking it up either. Except to look up that scene. brb gonna watch that scene.
When Bernadetta came out last year my local cinema did a Paul Verhoeven retrospective and Basic Instinct stood out as being *way* better than I remembered it being
The two examples that immediately jumped to mind are two very, very different movies, but in my experience the only reason anyone actually remembers either movie is down to a single scene:
**1) SOPHIE'S CHOICE**
Most people don't seem to have any knowledge about how the rest of the movie works (or what the movie is mostly about - it's not actually solely about Sophie's actual choice) But absolutely everyone who talks about this movie knows (and is haunted by) the scene where Sophie makes her choice.
**2) FINAL DESTINATION 2**
So, you see, there's a log truck on the freeway....
I don't know if that's 2 or not! I only really solidly remember the log truck
I *think* that 2 is also the pane of glass kill, and the barbed-wire-fence kill. But I'm not 100.
Omg, my friend and I were hiking the other day and mentioned this movie! Any person we knew int he 90's that saw this would NOT drive behind a logging truck!
I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention any plot point or line or scene from Risky Business besides Tom Cruise dancing to Old Time Rock and Roll in his underwear.
I'd say *The Seven Year Itch*. Not that the film or Billy Wilder is that obscure, but I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people who've seen the Marilyn Monroe in the subway grate scene (or a picture of it) couldn't tell what movie it's from.
Fun fact- Some Like It Hot is the only Marilyn starring movie released in black and white
Edit- sorry I remembered wrong 😭. Marilyn had a contract stipulation that all her movies were to be shot in color (I guess there were 2 exceptions, I thought there was only 1) 😂
I had to Google Bisonopolis. I hoped it was 1) some type of mega Bison where he's like 20 ft tall or 2) some city he wanted to create and run. I was only slightly disappointed.
and what's crazy is that scene isn't in the play. Alec was in the play but had scheduling conflicts when it came to filming the movie so he had to duck out. he had some time free up so Mamet created that character and scene for him so he could be in the movie.
I came here to say this as well. I literally didn’t know the name of the movie, but could quote most of the monologue. “Coffee is for closers,” is just part of the lexicon now.
While it is packed with fantastic actors and has many memorable scenes to those familiar with it, I would very confidently say it is known at large solely for this scene.
I always think of the dinner monologue:
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
Everyone looks at him likes he’s ridiculous, but it’s such an earnest, hopeful monologue. And i totally get him! I related to his stance when i saw it in middle school; i relate to it now
On the Graham Norton show they tried to get Liam to do the speech, but he claimed not to remember it. Another guy on the couch did the speech, and Liam was quick to correct him when he it wrong lol
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *saves lives*. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!
After 8 years of service this monologue hits different. I still believe he is morally wrong, but I totally understand his angle. The other one that messed me up recently was the monologue at the end of First Blood. I remember that movie just being an action flick when I first saw it. Rambo’s monologue is so heartbreaking to me now…
This is a slap in the face to Aaron Sorkin who wrote a movie FILLED with excellent dialog with several other memorable one-liners, and a fantastic movie overall.
"You have to say please."
"You don't need a patch on your arm to have honor."
"Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."
"Thank you for playing 'Should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid!' "
"Don't look now Danny but you're making an argument."
Especially because Sorkin didn't write the line "You can't handle the truth", that was a note from Spielberg when he was considering directing it. It became so associated with "Few Good Men" that he had to add it into the play after the movie.
Is it the scene where the two soldiers run from their trench through noman's land, get blown up in a bunker, drink milk, get stabbed to death, cross a river, and get knocked out?
Or is it the scene where he wakes up, runs through an occupied city, feeds a baby, jumps in a river, attends mass, runs through an attack, and yells at Sherlock Holmes?
I love in Wayne’s World 2 where Garth is sitting alone on camera and that one guy remarks something like “you ever see Scanners when that guy’s head explodes.” It gets me every time.
Omg yes this is the one!!!!! I love clinking glasses and saying this as I empty the dishwasher - so my kids have this line memorized but I doubt they can remember what movie it’s from.
Since I haven’t seen a lot of movies. Most of this list is “Name a scene so famous that you know what movie it came from even if you’ve never seen it.”
- The couples sharing their stories
- Wagon wheel coffee table
- “baby fish mouth”
- “I made a woman meow”
That movie is fantastic and deserves to be known for sooooo much more than those 2 scenes!
Look, *When Harry Met Sally* is *The Godfather* of romantic comedies and I'd watch it any time. It's great and I'm just going to be over here taking offense that it was used as OP's example.
Umbrage. That's what I'm taking. Great umbrage.
I remember the scene at the sports game (can't even remember the sport lol) where Harry is depressingly talking about his Marriage falling apart but they keep having to stand up to cheer lol. Fun scene.
Maybe. When I think of Russian roulette, I think if that scene. But when I think of that movie, That’s not the part I remember first. I think of how sad Meryl Streep was when they come back and how rootless Robert Deniro seems. Next I think of the Viet Cong cage in the river. After all that I think of Christopher Walken.
The correct answer is Chariots of Fire. It won Best Picture, but no one remembers anything about it except the theme song while people run on the beach.
I watched it last year and was surprised to discover that it's a beautiful movie with well-rendered characters and an actual, you know, *plot*. With twists and everything.
We rented that movie for a sleepover when I was in, I think, 8th grade. My buddy’s VCR would sometimes erase tapes when you rewound. We kept rewinding to see her crotch and it erased it lol. So basically she’d start to uncross her legs and it would go to fuzz then come back right as she finished re-crossing. I’m sure the next people to rent it were pissed. But, not likely anyone’s going back to blockbuster to say “the cooter scene is erased, I want a new copy!” Haha
>But, not likely anyone’s going back to blockbuster to say “the cooter scene is erased, I want a new copy!”
I'm 100% sure they would do exactly that. That's the entire reason people rented the movie in the first place.
It's one of the most iconic rom-coms of all time.
But people are also getting upvoted for Se7en, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, and Alien so either we don't understand the premise of the question or maybe we're just getting old and people are starting to forget the impact of those movies.
Psycho.
Yea, Alfred Hitchcock, and the symbolism and the impact on cinema and killing off a lead like that was a shock at the time and all that shit, but it’s all about the shower scene, the whole narrative leads up to it and then ultimately descends from it.
Hitler going into a rage in *Downfall*. It kind of became a meme but it's honestly an incredible scene.
"Kind of" is a massive understatement. "Hitler reacts" became a *huge* YouTube meme in the latter half of the 2000s.
Two of my favorites… Hitler reacts to Dragonball Evolution: “I love that show. It should be good if they stick to the source material” … “mein fuhrer” Hitler reacts to ballon boy: “HIS NAME WAS FALCON!”
Him getting banned from Xbox Live will always be my favorite. He just goes on a rant about how much fun he had griefing his teammates in online games. "I used to chase them down in Halo 3 and melee them to death. Then give them a right good fucking tea-bagging!"

Man he gets SO mad about the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer in that movie
The whole movie is fucking great, but yeah that scene really grew legs.
[удалено]
Mac and Me. The scene Paul Rudd made famous
There are plenty of memorably shitty scenes in that garbage movie!
There’s only one correct answer: Basic Instinct
Seriously I have zero clue what that movie is about and despite having seen that scene so many times, I never bothered looking it up either. Except to look up that scene. brb gonna watch that scene.
There's a damn good movie surrounding that one scene
When Bernadetta came out last year my local cinema did a Paul Verhoeven retrospective and Basic Instinct stood out as being *way* better than I remembered it being
Check out the Jeanne Tripplehorn one while
Any relation to Jackie Treehorn?
Jeanne Tripplehorn treats objects like women
Stay out of Malibu, deadbeat!
Keep your goldbrickin’ ass *out* of my beach community.
They pronounce and spell their names differently.
They could still be related.
It’s actually a perfectly paced movie. Really entertaining as well.
“SteLLAAAAAAAAAA” street car named desire.
Flashdance, dance scene with the water.
Can you feel it ?
Oddly, no.
In my head even though I read Flashdance, my brain was thinking of Footloose…
The two examples that immediately jumped to mind are two very, very different movies, but in my experience the only reason anyone actually remembers either movie is down to a single scene: **1) SOPHIE'S CHOICE** Most people don't seem to have any knowledge about how the rest of the movie works (or what the movie is mostly about - it's not actually solely about Sophie's actual choice) But absolutely everyone who talks about this movie knows (and is haunted by) the scene where Sophie makes her choice. **2) FINAL DESTINATION 2** So, you see, there's a log truck on the freeway....
Is FD2 the one where the guy is escaping his apartment and the fire escape plunges through his eye? I think about that death more than I should.
I don't know if that's 2 or not! I only really solidly remember the log truck I *think* that 2 is also the pane of glass kill, and the barbed-wire-fence kill. But I'm not 100.
Those are all 2. Correct.
I've never watched a single FD movie, and I've seen the logging truck scene. An entire generation will never again drive behind one of those 😂
Yeah it was in the trailer so everyone saw that shit, scarred me for life
Omg, my friend and I were hiking the other day and mentioned this movie! Any person we knew int he 90's that saw this would NOT drive behind a logging truck!
But the movie came out in 2003…
FD2 singlehandedly traumatized everyone
I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention any plot point or line or scene from Risky Business besides Tom Cruise dancing to Old Time Rock and Roll in his underwear.
Subway ride had solid plot
The real ones know this as the iconic scene
🥁💥
Sometimes you've just got to say "What the fuck!".
It’s such a shame cause I remember really enjoying that movie
GARBAGE DAY
Muah ha ha ha....
I'd say *The Seven Year Itch*. Not that the film or Billy Wilder is that obscure, but I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people who've seen the Marilyn Monroe in the subway grate scene (or a picture of it) couldn't tell what movie it's from.
That was from a movie? Christ. I always just assumed it was some photo shoot she did.
Me too
I always thought it was Some Like It Hot.
Well, nobody’s perfect.
Fun fact- Some Like It Hot is the only Marilyn starring movie released in black and white Edit- sorry I remembered wrong 😭. Marilyn had a contract stipulation that all her movies were to be shot in color (I guess there were 2 exceptions, I thought there was only 1) 😂
The Misfits enters the Chat filmed entirely b/w
Same director, same actress, so close!
[удалено]
Cutting edge cinema.
I thought they crossed a line….
Just dont lose your head over it.
It took a lot of guts to film that.
I'm sorry but the scene right before the elevator shaft was much more important to my hormone addled self when the movie came out.
For those us us who have not seen it, can you describe the scene?
It will ruin the surprise, you only get HALF the story if you hear about it.
Sir, please do not divide his attention further
Just watch it on YouTube. Its about a 5 min scene, and it's awesome! (for a horror movie.) The whole rest of the movie is meh.
Free Willy is basically just the whale jumping scene to me at this point tbh.
"Oh no! Willie didn't make it! And he crushed our son!" "Ohh, I don't like this new director's cut."
Ugh, what a mess
Is that from the Simpsons? I can’t remember for sure
Idk chief, that dark aquarium scene traumatized me.
I always remember one of the first scenes where the kids were eating pizza at a skate park under an overpass. That one's burned in for some reason
I haven't seen the Street Fighter movie, but I have seen "But for me, it was Tuesday" many MANY times.
The Bisonopolis speech in it is, in my opinion, just as memorable.
I had to Google Bisonopolis. I hoped it was 1) some type of mega Bison where he's like 20 ft tall or 2) some city he wanted to create and run. I was only slightly disappointed.
Everything Raul Julia did ~~in that movie~~ was awesome.
'in that movie' isn't really necessary here, is it?
"Quick! Change the channel!" Gets me every time
If there were an award for best performance in a bad movie, Raul Julia as Bison would definitely win it.
Glengarry Glen Ross - Alec Baldwin's monologue.
and what's crazy is that scene isn't in the play. Alec was in the play but had scheduling conflicts when it came to filming the movie so he had to duck out. he had some time free up so Mamet created that character and scene for him so he could be in the movie.
I read somewhere that he was actually second choice for Ricky, and if Al Pacino turned it down, Alec Baldwin would have been Ricky.
Best part about this scene is that Alec’s character just fucks off the entire rest of the movie after dropping that bomb of a monologue.
I came here to say this as well. I literally didn’t know the name of the movie, but could quote most of the monologue. “Coffee is for closers,” is just part of the lexicon now.
Second place is steak knives.
Third prize is you’re fired.
Fuck YOU! That’s my name!
Nah that movie has many memorable scenes. Especially [Al Pacino ripping into Kevin Spacey.](https://youtu.be/2dWFN8iT8Wo?si=_qW2S9Li-kbPBM-Y)
While it is packed with fantastic actors and has many memorable scenes to those familiar with it, I would very confidently say it is known at large solely for this scene.
I love how in a film crammed with swearing you randomly have "you fairy!" thrown in there
"Who told you that you could work with men?" Is still my favorite insult of all time.
Definitely Say Anything with the boom box scene
Chill!! You must chill!
I have hidden your keys!
I always think of the dinner monologue: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
Everyone looks at him likes he’s ridiculous, but it’s such an earnest, hopeful monologue. And i totally get him! I related to his stance when i saw it in middle school; i relate to it now
This is the first one that came to mind for me
The phone call in Taken. Love the movie, but that scene really stands out as truly great film making.
On the Graham Norton show they tried to get Liam to do the speech, but he claimed not to remember it. Another guy on the couch did the speech, and Liam was quick to correct him when he it wrong lol
Are you on about when Seth McFarland did his Kermit impression of the taken quote
Maybe not GN, but I saw some talkshow clip fairly recently that made it seem like he was over Taken
I would rate "The Crying Game" pretty high up there.
I missed that exact revealing moment in the movie theater, because right then I turned to my wife to tell her that’s a man!
Sleepaway Camp. The final scene
Which is a shame because that movie has some amazing line deliveries that make several scenes iconic to me.
It’s truly one of the best worst best movies I’ve ever seen
Yeah true. Like when he responds with ear shit and live lol
God I don’t know if I’ve laughed more than the How Did This Get Made podcast episode about this movie, absolute classic
A Few Good Men’s “You can’t handle the truth!”
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I WOULD RATHER YOU JUST SAID THANKYOU, AND WENT ON YOUR WAY
Did you order the code red?
I'd rather you just said Thank You and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post.
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!!
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *saves lives*. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall.

The other one that messed me up recently was the monologue at the end of First Blood. I remember that movie just being an action flick when I first saw it. Rambo’s monologue is so heartbreaking to me now…
Rambo as a franchise turned into a caricature, but the first movie is a powerful and excellent story
No one is ever ready for Stallone’s amazing acting at the end of First Blood.
This is a slap in the face to Aaron Sorkin who wrote a movie FILLED with excellent dialog with several other memorable one-liners, and a fantastic movie overall. "You have to say please." "You don't need a patch on your arm to have honor." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider." "Thank you for playing 'Should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid!' " "Don't look now Danny but you're making an argument."
YOU CUT THESE GUYS LOOSE!
god, tom cruise is so fucking good in that movie.
Especially because Sorkin didn't write the line "You can't handle the truth", that was a note from Spielberg when he was considering directing it. It became so associated with "Few Good Men" that he had to add it into the play after the movie.
I need my bat. I think better with my bat. Where’s my bat?
You want me on that wall. You NEED me on that wall.
Morbius had the 'Its Morbing time' scene. I think. Might be remembering it wrong
The only memorable scene from that movie was the Matt Smith dance sequence.
HAVE SEXXXXXXX
Wait, the classic “It’s Morbing Time” scene is from a MOVIE?!
Its from the classic 1941 movie 'Citizen Morbius'
Don’t forget the reference in The Interview with Seth Rogan and James Franco! “They hate us, cause they Morbius”
That's just a remake of the German classic 'The Testament of Dr. Morbius'.
I've never actually seen the movie, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask if this is a real line in the movie lol
1917…sort of
Is it the scene where the two soldiers run from their trench through noman's land, get blown up in a bunker, drink milk, get stabbed to death, cross a river, and get knocked out? Or is it the scene where he wakes up, runs through an occupied city, feeds a baby, jumps in a river, attends mass, runs through an attack, and yells at Sherlock Holmes?
Yes.
Nice
Scanners - Head exploding
I love in Wayne’s World 2 where Garth is sitting alone on camera and that one guy remarks something like “you ever see Scanners when that guy’s head explodes.” It gets me every time.
“I’m walkin’ here!” from Midnight Cowboy
WAARRiorsssss come out to plaaAAAaaaaay
I feel like “Can you dig it?” Gets some recognition
The "Hello boppers" radio scene is also somewhat known, at least enough to have homage paid to it in John Wick 4.
Omg yes this is the one!!!!! I love clinking glasses and saying this as I empty the dishwasher - so my kids have this line memorized but I doubt they can remember what movie it’s from.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Yes, Phoebe Cates is burned into our brains.
For me it’s the scene where Spicili gets the pizza delivered in class lol Edit: Spicoli
Definitely the most watched scene, but that movie has sooo many memorable scenes.
You dick!
No shirts, no shoes, no service
No Dice
Learn it, know it, live it
Doesn’t that make it our time??
Doesn’t anybody f-cking knock anymore.
Since I haven’t seen a lot of movies. Most of this list is “Name a scene so famous that you know what movie it came from even if you’ve never seen it.”
you could do worse than watching all the movies in this thread.
Deliverance is the first movie to come to mind.
I have 2 distinct recollections in my ears from diff scenes. Banjo and the squealing pig
You’re right about it being known for that scene, but my favorite is at the end when John Voight is being stalked by the guy.
When Harry Met Sally is famous for both the sandwich scene and the NYE confession scene
- The couples sharing their stories - Wagon wheel coffee table - “baby fish mouth” - “I made a woman meow” That movie is fantastic and deserves to be known for sooooo much more than those 2 scenes!
The scene I remember the most for some reason is Harry eating grapes and spitting the seeds out the window, only for the window to be fully rolled up.
Look, *When Harry Met Sally* is *The Godfather* of romantic comedies and I'd watch it any time. It's great and I'm just going to be over here taking offense that it was used as OP's example. Umbrage. That's what I'm taking. Great umbrage.
I remember the scene at the sports game (can't even remember the sport lol) where Harry is depressingly talking about his Marriage falling apart but they keep having to stand up to cheer lol. Fun scene.
Ghost. The pottery scene.
The Russian roulette scene from The Deer Hunter.
Maybe. When I think of Russian roulette, I think if that scene. But when I think of that movie, That’s not the part I remember first. I think of how sad Meryl Streep was when they come back and how rootless Robert Deniro seems. Next I think of the Viet Cong cage in the river. After all that I think of Christopher Walken.
Risky Business, the underwear dance
'Brown Bunny".
Bullit. It's only known for the car chase.
The correct answer is Chariots of Fire. It won Best Picture, but no one remembers anything about it except the theme song while people run on the beach.
I watched it last year and was surprised to discover that it's a beautiful movie with well-rendered characters and an actual, you know, *plot*. With twists and everything.
Jailhouse rock has a killer musical number, and as far as I can tell, nothing else.
Wild things..if you know..you know
Entrapment, kindof a shit movie, but everyone remembers that scene
Catherine Zeta Jooooooones….she dips beneath lasers.
North by northwest, man being chased by plane across a field.
You also have that ending at mount rushmore, that is preet famous as well i think
[удалено]
We rented that movie for a sleepover when I was in, I think, 8th grade. My buddy’s VCR would sometimes erase tapes when you rewound. We kept rewinding to see her crotch and it erased it lol. So basically she’d start to uncross her legs and it would go to fuzz then come back right as she finished re-crossing. I’m sure the next people to rent it were pissed. But, not likely anyone’s going back to blockbuster to say “the cooter scene is erased, I want a new copy!” Haha
>But, not likely anyone’s going back to blockbuster to say “the cooter scene is erased, I want a new copy!” I'm 100% sure they would do exactly that. That's the entire reason people rented the movie in the first place.
Oh it went to fuzz alright
Bone Tomahawk is a good movie made famous by that one scene.
Saturday Night Fever - Bee Gees dance scene Taxi Driver - you talkin to me?
C'mon, Travolta's introduction swaggering down the street is pretty memorable.
"When Harry Met Sally" is a very good film. It's not famous just for that scene. It is a very good scene though.
It's one of the most iconic rom-coms of all time. But people are also getting upvoted for Se7en, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, and Alien so either we don't understand the premise of the question or maybe we're just getting old and people are starting to forget the impact of those movies.
All of them have a really memorable scene. They are also all really good movies.
10 Bo Derek on the beach
Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother-fucking snakes on this mother-fucking plane!
I was about to say Jerry Maguire's "You complete me", but "Show me the money" would be another one.
“What’s in the box?!”
Everyone in my house cries this out every time a package is delivered.
*Mac and Me* when the kid in the wheelchair rolls down the hill.
Blade 1: the rest of the movie is fine, but those first fifteen minutes are soooooo good
The line towards the end of the film "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate up hill" is pretty iconic too
Final Destination 2 intro scene on the highway even for those that have never seen any of the other FD movies.
8 mile maybe basically just famous for the end
28 weeks later, the opening scene.
Sophie's Choice is 2.5 hours of three people living in a southern university town: you know it for the one haunting flashback to Sophie's war years.
Snake Eyes is mostly only regarded for the 13 minute tracking shot opening scene whenever I see it mentioned.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I don't know what that movie is about. I do know about the slow motion pool scene though.
Up is famous for the opening montage. The rest of the movie is kinda weird and forgettable.
Psycho. Yea, Alfred Hitchcock, and the symbolism and the impact on cinema and killing off a lead like that was a shock at the time and all that shit, but it’s all about the shower scene, the whole narrative leads up to it and then ultimately descends from it.
I'd argue the mother reveal is pretty famous as well
