Artemis Panthar's rating:
I've been a long-time fan on The Smiths and Morrissey's music and I've noticed references tend to crop up in tv shows and movies. So here I'm collecting all the ones I can find. When possible, I'll include a video clip although I have to make these myself so they likely won't all have videos right away. Screenshots will be made if it can be displayed in a still picture.
These can range from brief mentions, to parodies, to the inclusion of music from The Smiths or Morrissey. In general, I'm pointing out good-spirited references, even if they're making fun The Smiths/Morrissey, but I don't really intend on including anything I think is being mean-spirited.
