Simpsons quoting applies as well. And I know plenty of people who still quote Monty Python at every conceivable opportunity.
I don't really consider Monty Python worse than any of the other examples of this and find it equally annoying when someone is a random movie quote generator or everything has a corrolary in Star Trek.
Of course there are circles where this more appropriate. If you're hanging out with a bunch of Monty Python geeks or Star Trek geeks or Simpsons geeks then it is fine. It is that fine line of controlling your geekness to appropriate places and groups of people.
