* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]/[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' crossover, Billy's dad Harold says his lucky pants are immune to lasers, supernatural energy, and mustard.
Line 22:
:* From the ending of "The Farnsworth Parabox":
{{quote|'''Farnsworth:''' Everything that was, is, and ever will be is contained within this box, and the actual box is probably worth something as well.}}
:* In "The Silence of the Clamps", when Bender and the Donbot's daughter Bella witness Clamps maul Calculon after being intimate:
{{quote|'''Bella''': Yeah, Daddy hates welchers. The only thing he hates more is witnesses.
'''[Bender looks horrified.]'''
Line 43:
:* In "Once Bitten", a concerned Squidward, after having just been bitten by Gary, asks SpongeBob whether Gary had all of his shots in order. The shots he lists are "rabies, snailpox, soft shell dance, bagitis, lumpy bump trump, and teen angst".
:* In ''Sandy, Spongebob, and the Worm'', SpongeBob describes the Alaskan Bull Worm as "Big, Scary, and Pink."
:* In "Life of Crime", after Spongebob and Patrick pop a balloon they [[Insistent Terminology|"borrowed"]]:
{{quote|'''Patrick:''' Confess!? Are you out of your mind!? Do you have any idea what they do to people like us? We’re not talking about some dumb mail fraud scheme or a hijacking here! WE STOLE A BALLOON! And they're gonna lock us up forever!}}
* Coop of ''[[Megas XLR]]'' was fond of this method. [[Once an Episode]], he'd confront the [[Monster of the Week]], and deliver a long monologue with the following format: of the quote given below. Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, which were usually also things Coop himself had done.
{{quote|'''Coop:''' All right you intergalactic snots! You busted up my car show!
'''Jamie:''' Yeah!
Line 53:
'''Jamie:''' Ye... half a block?
'''Coop:''' Now, it's payback time! }}
*:* A favorite:
{{quote|'''Coop:''' Alright you freaking robotic conqueror wannabe. You scratched my paint job, broke my mirrors, and snapped my favorite key.
'''Space Bigfoot:''' Ahem.
'''Coop:''' Oh, right, and you also tried to carve up the planet of the Space Bigfoots. }}
:**In Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, usually things Coop himself had caused.one Once,instance all of them were Coop's fault, and none of them were even slightly related to the villain at all, (e.g. the time Megas got towed and he had to wait hours at the DMV to renew his driver's license to get it back).
*:* Coop [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this in an episode where he's yelling this at the Glorft leader who is actually [[Enemy Mine|on his side]]:.<ref>This may or may not be based on an example that [[Truth in Television|actually happened]] during the Crimean War, where the elderly Lord Raglan would repeatedly call the enemies "the French", despite the fact that the French were now on his side and they were fighting the Russians.</ref>
{{quote|'''Coop:''' Sorry, force of habit.}}
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]''
*** Interesting note: that latter [[Truth in Television|actually happened]] during the Crimean War, where the elderly Lord Raglan would repeatedly call the enemies "the French", despite the fact that the French were now on his side and they were fighting the Russians.
** The election episode of ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron BoyElection GeniusEpisode]]'' [[Double Subversion|double-subverts]] it. Ms. Fowl [[List of Transgressions|lists off the candidates' transgressions]] as "Bribery, blackmail, and murder", then corrects herself that the last wasn't actually murder, but operating a zeppelin on school property without a permit.
** In the episode "Grumpy Old Men," the boys want to buy a violent video game that has a [[Media Classifications]] describing it as "for mature players only due to violence, exaggerated mayhem, and old lady kicking."
* Many Western-themed ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts hadhave wanted posters with the outlaw's offenses listed as "bank robbery, cattle rustling, and square-dance calling.". Adding to that, another such poster listed the third crime as [[Pun|square dancing in a roundhouse]].
** ''Drip-Along Daffy'': Nasty Canasta's wanted poster said(the page image) says "Rustler, bandit, square-dance caller".
** Possibly inspired by this, the 'Wanted Poster With Your Face On It' souvenir available at Legoland's 'Western' section features a long list of crimes ending with "...bank robbery, cattle rustling, horse theft, and kicking little old ladies in the knee."
** Also used in the ''Looney Tunes'' classic "[[What's Opera, Doc?]]", when Elmer uses his Magic Helmet to attack Bugs Bunny with "Typhoons! Hurricanes! Earthquakes! SMOG!!" To be fair, smog is quite toxic.
** To be fair, smog is quite toxic.
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book 2/18 The Earth King|The Earth King]] in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' when the Gaang break into the palace, and then are caught by the guards, says "You invade my palace, lay waste to all my guards, ''break down my fancy door'', and you expect me to trust you?"
** According to the [[Word of God|DVD commentary]] he really loved the fancy door.
