What is this White Horse a reference to
In episode 9 of unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt at the end the step father who seems to to be coming down after doing Heroin sees a White Horse in the restaurant, what is this a reference too?
There is a thread on reddit that reckons this is a reference to Twin Peaks:
So the question is this a direct homage to Twin Peaks or is it a reference to another famous scene?
Best Answer
This is actually a homage to the song WHITE HORSE by Laid back. I don't know if that song was played in Twin Peaks, but I do know that the word WHITE HORSE was in reference to Heroine, to which Kimmy's dad was high on, and the song also says White Pony in reference to Cocaine. I remember this song in the 80's and Kimmy was stuck in that time slot which makes sense with the horse and her dad.
