Quoting anything is pretentious...if a.) You don't grasp the meaning of what you're quoting b.) You know that your audience is unlikely to be familiar with the quote, or c.) Your quote is only relevant to immediate circumstances in your own self-aggrandising imagination.
In this case twatty ad agency creative is guilty of b and c, although I suppose c is up for (incredibly boring) debate.
