Pop culture references lower the quality of discourse. You'll notice the general lack of them on the site. They're not value neutral - they make my life worse. Enough other people here agree that it's a social norm, enforced with words and downvotes. Don't be mad! Just don't make pop culture references.
Most people forget that a huge percentage of English speakers are not brought up and are not living in USA (or other countries where those pop culture reference are relevant).
So we don't get those, it just confuses us. Thanks for clarifying it, @roflcOptic
Lecturing people on the quality of discourse, however...
Titles != comments
I thought this was the one day I could have a sense of juvenile humor... let the downvote onslaught continue!
You can have a juvenile sense of humor! Just... It's not that welcome here. The downvotes aren't a judgement on your character, just a judgement on a joke that's not appropriate in this context. It's cool. You're cool. Everyone's cool. Just don't make jeopardy jokes.
Actually, I expected this to happen and it's not a big deal. I'll save the jokes for Reddit. The interesting thing is I don't think I've ever seen my karma bounce up and down so much every few minutes.
The jeopardy part of the joke is hardly juvenile compared to the penis part of the joke.
