• Source: See You Next Wednesday

See You Next Wednesday is a recurring gag in most of the films directed by John Landis, usually referring to a fictional film that is rarely seen and never in its entirety. Each instance of See You Next Wednesday in Landis's films seems to be a completely different film.
Landis got the title See You Next Wednesday from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the last line spoken by Frank Poole's father during Poole's video letter from his parents.

In Landis's first film, Schlock (1973), See You Next Wednesday is mentioned twice and is also shown as a poster. Brief casting and plot descriptions are given each time that it is mentioned, making it clear that this is in fact two different films, both titled See You Next Wednesday.
In the sketch comedy film The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), the film is a melodrama presented in "Feel-Around," a technique where an usher stands behind each movie patron and does things to them as they occur in the film, enhancing the movie-going experience, at least until the scene where the woman puts a knife to the man's throat.
In The Blues Brothers (1980), See You Next Wednesday is glimpsed on a billboard which also features a huge gorilla. It also appears on the cinema sign behind where the Nazi Pinto crashes through the road. It also says under the title on the marquee "Starring Donald Sutherland". Since Sutherland took $50,000 cash for his role in the Landis film Animal House instead of the offered 15%, he missed out on millions when the film became a huge hit. The film is directed by the fictional Carl La Fong, a reference to the W. C. Fields comedy It's a Gift (1934) and a character name that Landis has used as an anonymous credit on some of his other films.
In An American Werewolf in London (1981), See You Next Wednesday is a porn film being shown in a seedy London pornographic theater.

In Trading Places (1983), a poster for See You Next Wednesday is glimpsed in Ophelia's (Jamie Lee Curtis) apartment.

The poster features the quote L'un des 10 meilleurs Films du Monde ("One of the 10 Best Movies in the World").
At the end of Coming Soon (1982) there is a series of clips from recent Universal Studios film trailers with the final being watercolor poster art for See You Next Wednesday, followed by Jamie Lee Curtis giggling at the inside joke.

In Into the Night (1985), posters for the movie are shown.
In Coming to America (1988), a poster for See You Next Wednesday is shown on a New York City Subway station. It stars Dan Aykroyd, Sybil Danning, Jamie Lee Curtis, Moe Howard, James Brown, and Kara Young.
In the first episode of the 1990 TV series Dream On (which Landis directed), Martin (Brian Benben) says to his maid (Marianne Muellerleile), "See you next Thursday". She corrects him saying, "Wednesday".
In the music video Black or White (1991), Michael Jackson throws a garbage can through the window of "See You Next Wednesday Storage Co."
In Innocent Blood (1992), See You Next Wednesday is shown on a marquee.
In The Stupids (1996), the phrase is seen on the back of the bus to which the kids chain their bikes.
In the Masters of Horror episode "Family" (2006), the phrase is spoken by a cartoon character on TV.
