Hassan Chop!

[Tanj]

So I was watching S2E2 of Billions last night, and in the middle of a monologue one of the characters used the phrase "Hassan Chop!". It made me laugh, which drew a puzzled stare from the wife which lead to an explanation of the origin of "Hassan Chop".

So I was wondering if there were any other Billions fans out there that either did or did not get this pop culture reference.

I grew up on Looney Tunes, but didn't know that was called the Hassan Chop. Before cable TV became extremely corporatized, they used to air Looney Tunes on weekday evenings on TNT. Eventually everything started to merge and then they started banning more of the offensive shorts, then sticking shorts on a seldom cable package, and finally gone altogether. Oh, how I miss those days.

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

My grandfather would rent a video of Looney Tunes whenever he came over to babysit and we would watch them. To me, Looney Tunes has strong nostalgia value. I even read the thread title as it is said in the cartoon. Thanks for the reminder.

I knew right away from the title. Oddly I thought about it just yesterday.

 

[Belk]

Not a fan of the show but knew what you were talking about immediately.

The video clip doesnt have him say "Hassan chop!"

Worthless.

I blew it. I thought of the Samurai Delicatessen.
