Seeing pinball references everywhere

Gary Neville mentioned pinball during the Manchester derby today, does that count as a reference?

Driving to the Northern League meet yesterday & realised how much like a pinball display the motorway matrix signs are...even the same colour

Yup dot matrix displays have a lot of practical uses outside Pinball, they use them on the station where I live. Funnily enough you often hear Pinball noises as well, the trope I always recognize is in cartoons where a character is bouncing around repeatedly off things (often in stuff like Looney Tunes) and you get the old 'ding ding ding!' of a chime coil. I was actually watching something that was recent (like maybe 2 years old) where they did that and was wondering where the hell anybody nowadays apart from people like us would understand the reference, let alone kids.

Freddy v Jason has such a scene but there must be lots of others
