A Reference 11 Years in the Making

So my friend Nick and I have been having Sci-Fi movie nights lately, because he's my only friend who is into sci-fi. We recently watched Tron and it made me aware of a cultural reference that I have been exposed to for 11 years and have only now understood. I speak, of course, of South Park's modeling of their Moses character after the Master Control Program in the motion picture Tron. (comparative below)

Tron - Master Control Program


South Park - Moses


Not all that important. Just found it interesting that this cultural reference eluded me for so many years. I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't seen Tron.
