I think I would have come to the conclusion that all parties -would- benefit positively from the interaction, and so I would have jumped in.
I think people generally like it when you share their cultural references, even if you're a stranger. Also, and this is an assumption here, you are a girl and they are boys, and so they may be inherently pleased that you are into what they're into.
Also also, having someone pipe up with "Oh, they said on their blog the other day blah blah" is usually cool. :) Of course, maybe I shouldn't talk, being extremely comfortable with the blogging world.
