DaFunky1 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I just finished watching National Lampoon's European Vacation and at the end during the credits they show the Redskins celebrating in the endzone. It looks like the "Fun Bunch" during the Miami/Washington Superbowl. I know Eddie Griffin wore some Skins stuff in one of his movies and the Replacements was about the Redskins winning the Superbowl with Replacement players. Can you guys and gals think of any other movies where the Skins have been represented? Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 The TV Show "Yes Dear" the star wears Skin's Jersey's andstuff. (executive producer or someone like that is a HUGE Skins fan) I wouldn't be surprised if the new CBS show based on Tony Kornheiser willmention the Skins regualrly. Dr.Pepper commercialwith LL Cool Jay & Run DMC a guy is wearing a Rod Gardner Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsarethebest Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 if i remember correctly, the skins-broncos superbowl figured prominently in a simpsons episode -- they even won on the show, just like in real life! -- anyone recall what i'm talking about?

Mr. S Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Originally posted by skinsarethebest if i remember correctly, the skins-broncos superbowl figured prominently in a simpsons episode -- they even won on the show, just like in real life! -- anyone recall what i'm talking about? for some reason, i thought it was the Skins-Bills super bowl, would make more sense also with the timing. Lisa was mad at her father betting and not really wanting to spend time with her, and said if the skins win, she'll like him again and if the other team(Bills) win, he'll lose her as a daughter or something. And yes, the skins won. Is that the episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 yeah, the one hobo mentioned is the only skins in simpson s i ever saw. homer used lisa to bet, and she kinda got ticked off, but she still let her dad know that the bills would get their ass kicked! GO SKINS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 There was an episode of "Quantum Leap" dealing with Native Americans and at the end of the show,the eldest chief was dying of a heart attack and told Sam " Just remember that the Washington Redskins are the best damn team in football". << Sure it's an obscure reference. Also, who could forget Joe Theismann in "The Cannonball Run" ?:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Well, this isn't quite the same, but Stubblefield was in Reindeer Games, and Jamal Duff is in "DodgeBall: An Underdog Story". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglist350z Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 in Donnie Darko they show the Redskins playing a game, the movie was taking place in October 1988, so the footage is from then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinFaninOKC Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I don't know if anyone saw it, but about 5 months back I was flipping through TV and came across LaVar on TLC. I believe he was doing something for his brother. Don't know the name of the show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNut73 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 There was a movie with Denzel Washington and in one scene he wears a Redskins cap. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of the movie...but he played a character involved in a friendly fire incident in the Gulf War.
