  1. Once upon a time, a reference to 42 and HGttG would've been considered niche and 'cult', but nerds have overused it so much, something that was barely funny in the first place (if you honestly get a serious laugh out of it, you probably also think Will Ferrel is funny too) is now not funny whatsoever. I doubt most people who derp on and on about 42 like they just invented it even know the 'story' behind it.

     

    Honestly, any references to it actually make whatever it's in worse and more stupid.

    I agree. Unless you have a good reason for using it, like it actually makes sense in the context, other than just as a "hah, I'm so nerdy for referencing HGttG" thing, I think it should be avoided. Otherwise you'd go into a Family Guy trap.
