I don't know where this is from, and it's bothering me. A character will point accusingly at some deceiver or intruder and emit a droning moan from a wide-open mouth; the moan sounds almost like a klaxon horn or alert.<br> <br> I have seen this referenced twice recently; once in the Futurama episode <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_a_Bot_Planet">"Fear of a Bot Planet,"</a> when Leela and Fry are discovered to not be actual robots, and also in the most recent episode of The IT Crowd, when the unattractive bit character Judy, having been told Roy is dead, recognizes him on the street.<br> <br> Given the nature of these programs, it seems like this scene comes from a science fiction movie or something equally nerdy. Hope me? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.32904 Sat, 18 Feb 2006 22:19:28 -0800 homage interloper j'accuse reference television jenovus
