In a [[2005]] episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', as [[Peter Griffin|Peter]] and his friends attend an '80s TV Convention, a sign at the front door reads, "In Loving Memory of Ubu." The show also makes an oblique reference in the [[2000]] episode [[Running Mates|"Running Mates"]], where Peter closes a speech with the phrase "Sit Ubu, sit. Good dog." The ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' episode "Easter Basket" has a similar logo at the end where an image shows a toy dog similar to Ubu and the frisbee but no text, while a man says "Sit Ubu, sit." The screen then cuts to black while he says "Bad dog," followed by an audible gunshot. |
