    I can't tell for sure which one's the best, but Spongebob's dune joke is both so dry and buried in a kid's show that it'll only appeal to a few number of people who've read the book. That's dedication.

      @@gabbar51ngh everything took inspiration from something else at some point, but the "inspiration" George Lukas took is just a "bit" much . . . the parallels are laughable. Like GrrM uses lots of Lovecraft terminologie and lore for background stuff, places never showen and all, but the whole original trilogy is just straight simplefied dune . . .
      There is nothing wrong with inspiration, it is impossible to actualy creat something new, but one at least can pretend it is not just a fanfiction.
      Amounts and how it is done make a world of difference.

      @@SingingSealRiana original trilogy is simplified Dune? Dune itself is Asimov's foundation meets Lawrence of Arabia. Foundation uses Roman history while Dune uses middle eastern one.
      Star Wars is closer to Flash Gordon than to Dune & rest of the SciFi Pulps. Desert & chosen one storyline isn't something Dune created. I don't remember Paul atreides fighting with a lightsaber or fighting against Darth Vader.
      Dune Fandom is getting heavily obnoxious as hell after one movie. Thinking every SciFi is derived from them while not knowing Dune itself based it off older SciFi stories.

    There was a whole episode of Billy and Mandy that was a retelling of God Emperor of Dune. It went into the future where Mandy had assumed control of earth and became immortal by becoming a half-worm hybrid and was served by an endless stream of Billy clones that fulfilled the role of Duncan Idaho’s gholas. Then she predicted an assassination attempt by a conspiracy and alerted her past self so she could stop it. And her main powers came from cinnamon.

      The base of Space Fantasy like Dune and Star Wars is actually Asimov's Foundation series.
      Herbert borrowed heavily from Asimov. Even down to space travel without complex computers/androids. Pretty interesting. The Mule is where the ideas of The Force come into play, as well as the Voice in Dune.
      While I do see your point, I would still give the hat tip to Asimov over Herbert as the base most Modern Sci-fi draws from.

Which is kind of odd because battleship Yamamoto was running in Japan from 74 to 76 and they going to hit him with copyright they are they out of thin damn mind and guess where George Lucas was in the early seven in Japan stealing their s*** and they got the nerve to sue him for buying the American license rights to use battleship Yamamoto which Gary Frank later changed to #Starblazers

    The Elder Scrolls has tons of Dune references since Morrowind, purposeful or accidental.
    While the Nerevarine and Paul are quite different as a whole, you can still cherry-pick a lot of plot points that shows the influence of Dune (minor spoilers):
    -They are outlanders shipped to a strange, unhospitable world.
    -They were sent by decree of the Emperor
    -They are both gradually forced into uncertain/fabricated prophecy and are attacked by visions.
    -They herald revelatory titles given to them by the voice of many (Hortator and Nerevarine/Kwisatz Haderach and Muad'dib)
    -They venture through the Blight storms/Coriolis storms and unite the indigenous tribes living in the Ash wastes/desert.
    -They are later persecuted and hunted by the local oppressors' elite force (Tribunal's Ordinators/Sardaukar in Harkonnen livery)
    -They both become immensely influential in the eyes of the people, to the point of spiritual adulation.
