* In Disney's ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', while trying to avoid the C word which causes the Dormouse to go berserk.
{{quote| '''Alice''': I was sitting on the riverbank with uh..you know who.<br />
'''[[The Mad Hatter]]''': I do? ''(chuckles)''<br />
Line 22:
{{quote| '''Gurgle''': Whatever you do, don't mention D-A-R...<br />
'''Nemo''': It's okay, I know who you're talking about. }}
* In ''[[101 Dalmatians (Disney)|101 Dalmatians]]'', Pongo suggests getting the puppies to bed so he and Perdita can go out on a W-A-L-K. While not explicitly stated whether the puppies do know how to spell, a couple of them do beg to stay up and join their parents on the walk.
* [[Dumbo (Disney)|"Wow, just take a look at those E-A-R-S..."]]
** "Ears!"
** And then, a little bit later...
Line 50:
'''Earl''': I can't live like this Joy, he needs to know we....H-A-D sex together.<br />
'''Joy''': That is B-U-double-L honkey! }}
* [[Played for Drama]] in ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'' episode "100". Hotch is on the phone with his wife Haley after learning that she and their son Jack are held in hostage by {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster|George Foyet aka The Reaper]]}}.
{{quote| '''Hotch''': He's just trying to make you angry.<br />
{{spoiler|'''Foyet'''}}: Well she should be! She's gonna (''covers Jack's ears and lowers his voice'') D-I-E because of your inflated ego! }}
Line 70:
{{quote| '''Castle:''' She can spell, Detective.<br />
'''Ryan:''' Probably better than you! }}
* Played with in the ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Parallel Universe", where it turns out that the Cat's alternate-universe counterpart is a Dog:
{{quote| '''Cat''': When's the last time you took a bath?<br />
'''Dog''': Oh, please, don't say that word!<br />
Line 82:
'''The Doctor''': Wuh-Ah-Ll-K!<br />
'''K-9''': Walk, mistress. }}
* Played with on ''[[3rd Rock Fromfrom the Sun]]'':
{{quote| '''Dick''': Dr. Albright has already RSVP'd.<br />
'''Harry''': You said you'd stop spelling in front of me. }}
Line 115:
{{quote| '''Jon:''' I know a place with a great B-U-F-F-E-T.<br />
'''Garfield:''' Make it a table for T-H-R-E-E. }}
* In one ''[[Pogo (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Pogo]]'' strip, Pogo tries to use it to talk to Albert without the puppy they're taking care of understanding. Unfortunately, Albert doesn't quite get it...
{{quote| '''Pogo''': I'm gone make the lil' pup dog some P-U-D-D-I-N-G for his S-U-P-P-E-R.<br />
'''Albert''': Uh-huh... Well... Hmm... Yes... Um... P-D-Q-R-S-V-P? Um... Well... Indeed... }}
Line 161:
''(Beethoven hears this and runs out of the house)''<br />
''Okay, who's been teaching the dog to spell?'' }}
* A mild example from ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'', when Arthur casually tells a friend that someone "lost her P-E-N" while D.W. is in earshot. D.W. then complains about Arthur doing this, since she can't spell yet.
* Occurs in ''[[Recess: SchoolsSchool's Out]]''. The scene starts at breakfast, where T.J. is brokenhearted about being alone that summer without his friends, who were all at camp. His sister comes down, and this is when it occurs:
{{quote| '''Becky:''' Bye Mom, bye Dad...bye T-''jerk''<br />
'''Mrs. Detweiler:''' Now Becky, I want you to be nice to your brother; he's feeling S-A-D right now.<br />
