Dune finding it's way into cartoons?

[number6]

I have 3 kids and I watch a variety of cartoons with them. Recently I have seen references to Dune in these shows. Specifically in "Sponge Bob Square Pants" and "Grim and Evil". On Spong Bob they were trying to capture a giant worm and there is a scene while they are searchjing for the worm where one of the characters says "Worm Sign" and points to a sign (like a traffic sign) with a "Worm" on it. I doubt any kids got that reference. In Grim and Evil they have a way to look into the future and see that one of the characters has transoformed into a worm and rules the world. She also has a monopoly on cinnamon. It was actually a pretty funny take off of Dune. Anyone else seen these episodes?

I watched them while my sister babysat for some toddler, lol. But yeah, I noticed these two things and almost died laughing :) They're obviously references to Dune IMO.

Yeah, lol ;D One of the more classic rip offs ;)

And "Earth Worm Jim" where Jim's sidekick would quote the BG litany against Fear.

lol That was a weird programme. And Dune is also in the Simpsons and another Warner Bros cartoon (can't remember its name)

Tiny toons.

Thats the one. There is another thread about this but its about 2 years old.
