The Julekalender (The Christmas Calendar) was a "julekalender" that ran at Christmas 1991 (a Norwegian version was made in 1994, and a Finnish version appeared in 1997).
 It was written and performed almost entirely by a trio of Danish comedy musicians called De Nattergale with financial and technical assistance from TV2, a Danish television company.
 It was hugely successful at the time, causing many invented phrases from the series to enter popular culture and was later released on VHS, and recently, DVD.
Viggo Sommer Kristensen (b. 28 January 1957 in Viby at Aarhus) is a Danish musician and comedian.
 He is primarily known for his work with the comedy trio De Nattergale, which made the popular TV-show "The Julekalender" in 1991.

Jayne Mansfield was an actress, singer, playmate and stage show performer who had an enormous impact on popular culture of the late 1950s despite her limited success in Hollywood.
 She has remained a well-known subject in popular culture ever since.
 During a period between 1956 and 1957, there were about 122,000 lines of copy and 2,500 photographs that appeared in newspapers.
 In an article on her in the "St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture" (1999), Dennis Russel said that "Although many people have never seen her movies, Jayne Mansfield remains, long after her death, one of the most recognizable icons of 1950s celebrity culture."
 In the 2004 novel "Child of My Heart" by Alice McDermott, a National Book Award winning writer, the 1950s is referred to as "in those Marilyn Monroe/Jayne Mansfield days".
 R. L. Rutsky and Bill Osgerby has claimed that it was Mansfield along with Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot who made the bikini popular.
George Lucas' science fiction multi-film "Star Wars" saga has had a significant impact on modern popular culture.
 "Star Wars" references are deeply embedded in popular culture; references to the main characters and themes of "Star Wars" are casually made in many English-speaking countries with the assumption that others will understand the reference.
 Darth Vader has become an iconic villain, while characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO have all become widely recognised characters around the world.
 Phrases like "evil empire", "May the Force be with you", and most famously "I am your father" have become part of the popular lexicon.
 The first "Star Wars" film in 1977 was a cultural unifier, enjoyed by a wide spectrum of people.
Marshall William Fishwick (July 5, 1923 – May 22, 2006) was an American multidisciplinary scholar, professor, writer, and editor who started the academic movement known as popular culture studies and established the journal "International Popular Culture".
 In 1970 he cofounded the Popular Culture Association with Ray B. Browne and Russel B. Nye, and the three worked to shape a new academic discipline that blurred the traditional distinctions between high and low culture, focusing on mass culture mediums like television and the Internet and cultural archetypes like comic book heroes.
 In an academic career of more than fifty years, Fishwick wrote or edited more than forty books, including works on popular culture, Virginia history, and American studies.
