Finally, it's worth noting that there's a trope for this sort of thing, referred to as the "[~~http~~:~~//tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/~~Main/WeirdAlEffect Weird Al Effect]", where parody overtakes the source in popularity.

I got only one response (my friends are status-poll averse), which said the only place he could think of hearing the phrase was Jeopardy! (and he watches/watched SNL). I'm quite confident that were you closer to TBC's ages you wouldn't be arguing for SNL.
