Lines from something else that sound like they’re from Red Dwarf

Well it’s the natural follow on isn’t it?

That said, if I took a shot every time a Guardian columnist said “tech bro” I’d be clincally dead…

This guy arrogantly eulogising himself (in not-so-secret possession of Data’s body) is like when Rimmer did it in extracurricular canon.

I mean, yeah. Why would the Ferengi have warships?

Supposedly brought about for a few decades by the Grand Nagus Zek out of fear of the “insane” anti-capitalistic Federation.

Someone on Reddit quoted Steven Colbert’s comments about Chevy Chase at his 2002 comedy roast. It reminded me of Kryten’s closing argument in defence of Rimmer:

[Dave]

Not a line but a general vibe: I just watched Mickey 17 for the first time and a lot of it had a very Dwarfy feel to it. They have a giant spaceship with a small crew who live in grey, submarine-like sleeping quarters and eat in grey cafeterias. The tone is a mix between character-oriented stuff revolving around the lowest-status members of the crew and absurd sci-fi concepts. The interactions between two duplicates of the same character feel quite Me² at times, and even the spacesuits remind me of the Series I-era suits, especially when one of the characters has to clamber along the outside of the ship in one. The technology to backup people’s minds feels very like hologram tech. And the bio-printer is straight out of Officer Rimmer.

I didn’t actually love the film, but I thought the parallels were interesting.

It might actually be a direct reference but –

“You still with us Holly?” Farscape, referring to an alien with a penchant for holograms. Later in the same season there’s a direct reference to the Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy, ad libbed by Ben Browder so… possible?

I think it’s a reference and maybe even an ad lib, Ben Browder brings up Craig Ferguson’s Red Dwarf role in this high-quality video (from around 3:20).

Yay! I got one! I remember Hattie told me she went to a recording of that show and he recognised her and got her down out of the audience lol.

I love that he has seen Red Dwarf enough to know that. 

[Technopeasant]

Yeah, if its FarScape its probally a reference more likely than not.
