Got Me Doing It: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Jeeves and Wooster]]'', Bertie notes that spending time with Jeeves may result in [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]. His various [[Verbal Tic]]s are equally catching:

{{quote|'''Bertie:''' Jeeves, you're talking rot.

'''Bertie:''' Very good, sir--I mean very good Jeeves, that will be all. }}

 

** In an earlier episode, the main characters meet Elaine's macho, controlling father. George has the "Keeper of the Tavern" song from ''Les Miserables'' in his head, and periodically starts singing it. At the end of the episode, Elaine's father starts singing it to himself.

* In an episode of [[The Big Bang Theory]], Sheldon finds new friends when he wants to be the center of the group. Barry Kripke is one of them.

'''Sheldon''': Patience, patience, Barry. The whaffle- *ahem* The raffle is the grand finale to an evening-long festival of fun and folly. }}

* In earlier episodes of ''[[The Nanny]]'', Fran would regularly [[Yiddish as a Second Language|pepper her speech with Yiddish]], while the rest of the cast didn't know a word of Yiddish and would have to ask for an explanation. Several seasons later, the entire Sheffield family had caught the habit.

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Shadow Dragon'', Athena's recruitment conversation goes something like [[Hilarity Ensues|this]]:

{{quote|'''Athena:''' Vell, vell... You must be the help.

I, uh, I am Marth, prince of Altea. }}

I heard pirates took the village children, so I brought my army straightaway.

{{quote|'''Athena:''' ...If you say so. Ve are called Athena.

Ve have a fair bit of skill vith a sword; hopefully the same can be said of you, Marth of Altea. }}

* It's literally a curse the natives can cast in [[Fossil Fighters]], where their verbal tic can be imposed on anybody Diga-dumb enough to trespass on their lands.
