==Cultural impact== In the 1970s [[Bob Rozakis]] called his fellow young fans turned [[DC Comics]] editorial employees Junior Woodchucks<ref>[http://bobrozakis.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-at-new-york-comic-con.html A Day at the New York Comic-Con] "Back in the very early days of our careers at DC Comics, then VP/Production Manager [[Sol Harrison]] decided that we 'kids' should put together a company-backed fanzine called ''[[Amazing World of DC Comics]]''. He came to my desk and said, 'Go get the rest of your pals and bring them to my office.' So I went to my compatriots and said, 'Sol wants to have a Junior Woodchucks meeting.' I was making a joke, using the name of the faux-Boy Scouts that Huey, Dewey and Louie of Donald Duck fame belonged to. But the name stuck...and we became DC's Junior Woodchucks."</ref> and they referred to themselves as such in the pages of the pro-zine ''[[The Amazing World of DC Comics]]'' which they co-edited.<ref>[http://metropolisplus.com/awodcc/awodcc01.htm AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS #1]{{Dead link|date=January 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} "Meet the Woodchucks", p.29</ref> Comedian [[Jeff Foxworthy]] once claimed, in his TV show, to have been a member of the Junior Woodchucks in his childhood. In Season 9, Episode 12 of original Night Court, titled, "A Shave and a Haircut" (at timestamp 8:40-8:50), Mel Torme accepts a "Junior Woodchuck of the Year Award" from two young boys in scouting gear. When he says goodbye to them he refers to them as "Two, with it, chuck-a-duck ducks." Which might be a further hint at the Woodchuck's Donald Duck origin. In some episodes of the comic strip ''[[Big Nate]]'', Nate Wright and his middle-school friends are members of the Junior Woodchucks.<ref>''Big Nate and Friends'' (2011), {{ISBN|9781449420437}}, page 72</ref> In the 2012 Former Fat Boys song "Snakes on a Plane 2: Sharks on a Rollercoaster", the lyric "Junior Woodchuck for life" is present and can be heard at the 1:54 second mark (3:00 mark if listening to the version with the intro included).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://genius.com/The-former-fat-boys-snakes-on-a-plane-2-sharks-on-a-rollercoaster-the-official-theme-song-to-snakes-on-a-plane-2-sharks-on-a-rollercoaster-lyrics | title=The Former Fat Boys β Snakes on a Plane 2: Sharks on a Rollercoaster (The Official Theme Song to Snakes on a Plane 2: Sharks on a Rollercoaster) }}</ref>
