Plot[edit]

I added the plot section, it seemed needed. Spazm 22:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

This is so ridiculously biased. I might rewrite it once I feel like doing the research to actually find what people besides the author of that segment thought of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.234.39.153 (talk) 04:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Popular culture references[edit]

These references are unsourced and not in proper prose form so I'm moving them here until they can be properly cited.--J.D. (talk) 18:52, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In The Simpsons episode "Bart on the Road", Bart, Milhouse and Nelson use a false identity card to sneak into a cinema showing Naked Lunch; emerging afterwards looking very confused, Nelson remarks: "I can think of at least two things wrong with that title".
The first track on Showbread's Age of Reptiles is titled "Naked Lunch", the themes of which are the ideas of the film and the novel.
Naked Lunch was heavily referred to in the 1994 hit single "Bug Powder Dust" by UK dance music act Bomb the Bass.
