obscure reference
a stupid reference that nobody gets and makes everyone roll their eyes
'Why did you bring up the 2004 Matrix sequel?' 'I thought it was a cool reference.' 'You're an idiot.'
During a serious conversation about the best pizza, someone says, 'That’s like the time I tried to explain the 2007 Spider-Man movie.'
In a group chat, someone posts a meme about a video game nobody plays and says, 'This is the best reference ever.'
