Accidental psych reference

Post image

Don’t really follow football at all so no idea why this came up on my instagram feed this morning but immediately thought of Psych and Gus’ secret! No one in the comment section of that post seemed to catch it 🤣

The Psych joke was a parody of a Seinfeld joke which was a parody of the movie JFK about the magic bullet theory and whether or not there was a second shooter. The Warren Sharp tweet was probably a Seinfeld reference

I genuinely had no idea about the Seinfeld parody! Moved to the US in 2008 so grew up with Psych but missed Seinfeld.

No worries, Seinfeld would’ve been before your(and most peoples) time. Unfortunately Psych didn’t reach the highs that Seinfeld did

Ouch. It was the 90s. 

I didn’t watch Seinfeld so I didn’t pick up on that. But it was more than the JFK movie that thought there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll. It was a common conspiracy theory. That’s what I thought psych was referring to originally.
