That is AWESOME!!!!! I have Clerks II on my Netflix queue, just haven't seen it it. Clerks was a classic and I never knew the tearm "Snowballing" until then.....

HAHAHAHA! Yea i actually saw clerks II first and loved it so much i had to watch the first one.

Seinfeld-The Bubble Boy's room has posters of Ugly Kid Joe and House of Lords in it
Simpsons-Rock you like a Hurricane plays at an air show
Dan Vs-The main character Dan has a ramones poster in his apartment
Wonder Years-Karen (the hippie daughter) is a fan of Hendrix and Iron Butterfly
Men in Black 2-One of the aliens is sorting letters in the post office to the tune of keel's "speed demon"
Regular Show- Nothin But a Good Time by Poison plays in one episode, and mordecai and rigby's room also have a poster of what looks to be a generic hair metal band.
King of the Hill- A running gag has John Redcorn always blasting classic rock songs from his car radio whenever he shows up (great white, foreigner, ratt, billy idol, etc). Also, he mentioned being a winger roadie in one episode (wow, mike judge got to stick it to winger on THIS show too!)

Testament is seen very, very briefly in the movie Strange Days.

Skunk Anansie's in there too. They get about two seconds more screen time than Testament (which isn't saying much)

what about Zombie Nightmare?

Buffy staked a vampire through his white Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance t-shirt on an episode I watched the other night.

I was watching some Disney XD show called "Im with the band", and some kid (who i think was the band manager) was wearing a def leppard shirt.

Armored Saint is in Hellraiser III. A couple of Morbid Angel songs can be heard in the movie Night of the Demons 3(I think that's the one).

...at the 1:26 mark. Hey, I've got that poster!

It's part II, but either way it's cool to hear them.

Even better is that it's Anthony Kaedis rockin' out on the bed! Funny as hell when he shoots his foot!

Nuclear Assault's "Something Wicked" is used in the movie Warlock 2.

From what I have read, Jim was actually a big CC fan back in the day. Maybe still is.

LOL!!! Forgot about those!!!!!!

On a recent episode of Parks & Recreations, there was a town hall meeting to discuss what items should be put into the town's time capsule for future generations. One lady stood up and demanded that her copy of David Lee Roth's book 'Crazy from the Heat' be included.

Hell ya!!!!!!!! Speaking of DLR in 'Weird Science' wasn't a photograph of his thrown into the mix for the 'coolness' and making the hottie.

My kids were watching "SpongeBob" over the weekend and Dee Snider appeared as a guest voice in one episode. He played "Angry Jack," the proprietor of a "Replacement Shell Emporium" where Spongebob takes his pet snail Gary after his shell gets broken.

Ha-ha!! I saw that episode this weekend too. I didn't know that was Dee! Funny. I'm glad the twins are finally getting into Spongebob. It's something we all can enjoy!

There's been quite a few "Metal Moments" on SpongeBob. Someone on the staff must be a fan. Sebastian Bach was a guest voice a while back, so was Gene Simmons (along with Shannon Tweed).
In the SpongeBob Movie you can even hear a snippet of a Motorhead song ("You Better Run," re-worked as "You Better Swim") during one scene when SpongeBob and Patrick stumble into a tough-guy, biker bar.

I haven't seen it myself, but yea, I heard about the Motorhead song being used for the movie. The Gene Simmons one sounds familiar too. Didn't know about Bach. Cool.

I'm thinking the same thing about the show Parks & Recreations. Someone there behind the scenes is a fan of 80's metal.

Gene & Shannon are in the episode where SpongeBob & Patrick are driving a submarine around Bikini Bottom that Mr. Krabs has turned into a "mobile" Krusty Krab restaurant. Gene plays a giant sea monster that they meet at the bottom of an abyss.

Shannon is a fish lady who beats the crap out of Plankton after he talks smack to her and her kid
