The cleverest use of the 2001 quote was in "Moon Over Uranus: the Sequel" episode of "Hill Street Blues" where a police officer was assualting a food vending machine for not dispensing his purchase. The desk sargent tells the officer to stop and goes on to explain that the machine was the epitomy of food technology and incapable of cheating him.

Sgt Phil Esterhaus: "...I'm sure the problem is attributable to human error."
Henry (walking past the two": "Open the pod door, Hal."

The scene fades to black and the opening credits roll.
