"We’ll do it doggy style so we can both watch X Files" ( Genius) Glad to see I got Scully." ( Youtube: Er Para Los Amigos) Leonard from "Big Bang Theory" says in season 4's episode "The Apology Insufficiency": "So, when Howard said the FBI would be contacting me, I was expecting Mulder. I hope the smoking man's in this one" ( Genius) Jack Colquitt is also the name of someone mentioned in the "X-Files" episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man." ( TOR) In season 6's episode "Nellis," Archer uses "X-Files'" running tagline on Pam: "The truth is out there," he says. In season 2's episode "The Single Girl and Dick," Tommy and Harry try writing an episode of "The X-Files" but never finish. We've collected a bunch of these moments for you below to prove that the spirit of the show never really left us:
You may be surprised to learn just how many times the long-retired show has been alluded to outside of these few examples. (Who, you better believe, was very thrilled about the show's return.) His intention with the podcast was simple - to explore favorite "X-Files" cases week by week with guests and perpetually rediscover how well the episodes have aged. Why is the show mentioned? Well, it's just kinda metal.Īnd if you needed further proof of the show's ubiquity: Look no further than the podcast called " The X-Files Files" launched last year by Comedian Kumail Nanjiana on Feral Audio. Take for example, Sheryl Crow's chart-topping hit from 1996, "A Change Would Do You Good," which is stacked with moody imagery alluding to"Scully and angel." The black-and-white video accompanying the song features a rage-filled Crow throwing all of her belongings out of an apartment window, before finally jumping out of that window herself. But also, in the way screenwriters and songwriters alike have chased that very particular attitude of the show - that " New Age mysticism" and wry wit. The show has had a tremendous influence on other working creatives, and we can see proof of this not just in Gilligans' obvious nods to the show in "Breaking Bad" with fictional-brand cigarettes and rent-a-car companies popping up all over the place.

With Tuesday's news that Fox will be reviving the beloved FBI series as a six-episode event, it seems as good of a time as any to take a look at how "X-Files" has embedded itself into contemporary pop culture. In 2013, Gilligan told Huffington Post: "It was a great learning experience, and one that I always liken to film school, except it was a film school that paid me to attend."
Gilligan has spoken often about how working in the "X-Files" writer's room informed much of his work. The Fox franchise acted as a “Mickey Mouse Club” of sorts for aspiring television writers back in the ’90s, providing both “Hunted” creator Frank Spotnitz and “Breaking Bad’s” Vince Gilligan their first big writing gigs. It’s no secret that “X-Files” has produced some of today’s top writing talents.
