Being literally one of the greatest and most successful video games franchises ever, Halo's impact was and still is destined to be reflected in popular culture. This article names but a few instances were ''Halo'' is spoofed, mentioned, honored or otherwise the subject of any song, video, etc. (Feel free to add any more places where ''Halo'' is mentioned.)


== Robot Chicken ==


Robot Chicken, an "Adult Swim" Cartoon Network show, made a short skit concerning Donkey Kong and ''Halo''.


=== Story ===


It begins as a regular game of Donkey Kong, with Mario attempting to climb several floors as he attempts to rescue Peach, while Donkey Kong drops barrels in an attempt to stop him.


However, a few seconds in, several SPARTANs arrive, they quickly scale the levels, neutralize Mario, plant a satchel charge on the floor below Donkey Kong and rescue Peach. The satchel charge detonates, killing Donkey Kong, one SPARTAN shoots Kong's dead body, then the skit ends.

== The Longest Yard ==


A movie remake starring Adam Sandler, the reference is small. 


Several people are watching the video that was on the Halo Combat Evolved game. It shows the Master Chief eliminating a Covenant anti-aircraft gun with an early build of the battle rifle. One guy remarks, " You guys have Halo 2! I didn't think it was out yet!!"

== The Prince & Me ==

A movie starring Julia Stiles.

The Crown Prince of Denmark comes to Wisconsin to go to a college there and take a detour from his destiny as king. With him is his companion and assistant. They get an apartment which they share with a roommate that owns an Xbox and ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. While the Prince, at one point, goes off to another state for a short vacation, the Assistant starts playing ''Halo''. The Prince comes back to find his companion sleep deprived and his eyes glued to the TV screen, playing ''Halo''. When the owner of the Xbox tries to take the controller, the assistant viciously yells "GET AWAY" and scares him back, all while staring at the screen and playing the game.

==The Grim Adventure's of Billy and Mandy==

On the Billy and Mandy Christmas Special there's a shelf in a store with video game boxes entitled, "Hello #2" as a spoofed version of ''"Halo 2"''. The boxes also had crude doodles of [[Master Chief]] on them with a grin on his face as he waves. It's pretty hard to notice, but fairly notable.

== Jumper ==

In the movie the second jumper in his desert based can be heard playing Halo 3 on the mission The Ark. If you listen carefully you can hear the in game characters say "all armor pull up let the chief do the rest."

== Other Halo Mentions ==

SarcasticGamer.com has a Halo hoedown, viewable on Youtube.

There are also many flash animations and web comics based off of ''Halo'' on sites such as Newgrounds.com, VGcats.com, Youtube, etc.
