If it’s referenced in the early seasons of The Simpsons, it is timeless.

I never thought of it in velvet. That adds a whole new dimension to it.

Great for a well placed reference in a show or comic.

Fallout: New Vegas also had a reference to this in the Old World Blues DLC

Serious Sam: TSE has a secret with it too, and they are like 10+ years apart.
