In last night's episode (11/14), Mr. Peterman started calling out, "Laura, Laura, Laura" when Elaine showed him the Urban Sombrero. Can anyone tell me what this was a reference to????

❓ Question
Viewers discuss what Mr. Peterman was saying when he reacted to the Urban Sombrero, with most agreeing it was "The horror! The horror!" from Apocalypse Now rather than "Laura."

He was actually saying "The horror! The horror!" It's a reference to Apocalypse Now, staring Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando, which in turn was based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. I highly recommend reading the book and watching the film (in that order).

Check the batteries in your hearing aid. He was saying the "horror, the horror." Or maybe you had accidentally switched to Nick at Night and were watching the Dick Van Dyke Show. It would have been a step up from this worst of all Seinfelds.

Don't be such a prick. It was easy to miss both the expression and the reference.

Hey dickhead, first of all, this was the best epiosode in a very long time and secondly, try not to be such a cock when responding to those who ask questions in this NG.

Isn't this some reference to "Heart of Darkness"?
