Very Random U2 References in Movies

[thankyou]

Anyone seen "Margot at the wedding" with Nicole Kidman and Jack Black? The J.Black character talks about how he is competitive with everybody, even Bono.

 

[thankyou]

Also if I remember correctly, I recall catching the end of a sex and the city episode one day on tv and they were playing "even better than the real thing".

In the TV show The Office, Steve Carell's character Michael Scott makes that horrible presentation video to With or Without You. It was pretty funny.

okay not in the movies, but anyone who saw Obama's introduction of Biden as his VP pick at the Springfield rally will know that it started AND ended with U2 songs.

Yep, they have my vote!

Speaking of The Office, I seem to recall an immortal Dwight Schrute quote: "I am not a hero. I am a mere defender of the office. You know who’s a real hero? Hiro, from 'Heroes'. That’s a hero. Also, Bono."

There was the episode of Friends where Rachel and Ross were "On a break" and With Or Without You was played.

And the line form The Commitments movie, when the father of the manager of the band says "al bet u2 are shitting themselves"

I don't know if anyone here's even heard of the Middleman (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TV SERIES), but on this week's new episode, there was this bit of dialogue:
Lacey: Look, I don't care what you say, you are going to that interview and I'm driving you there.
Tyler: Lacey, I'm a musician.
Lacey: And this is like Bono offering you a job.
Noser: Bono, Buddha and the Wizard of Oz.

Maybe someone said this already, but there's an Achtung Baby poster in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Also, a few James Patterson novels have had U2 mentions.

I was reading a Nora Roberts book...Blood Brothers (really good book) and it mentioned the three boys making camp to U2.
