Line 36:
* In 2006 [[The Remake]] of [[The Pink Panther]], at one point, Chief Inspector Dreyfus unintentionally mimics Inspector Clouseau's French accent. He quickly catches himself, and starts his sentence over, visibly frustrated and annoyed.
* In the live action film version of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (film)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'', the Grinch quotes a couple of lines from the book; after realizing what he'd done, he laments "Oh no. I'm speaking in rhyme!" in Jim Carrey's dramatic fashion. Note that the Whos down in Whoville often spoke in rhyme.
* In [[The Three Stooges]] short "Hoi Polloi", a rich guy subscribes to the theory that environment and not heredity dictates social behavior, and bets another rich guy $10,000 that he can train three common folk into acting like refined gentlemen. Unfortunately, his test subjects are the Stooges, and at the formal gathering where he is to present the results of his experiment, it backfires completely. Not only do the Stooges act as they always do, but at the end of the short, all the ''other'' guests are acting like ''them''. Moe says it best when he says it serves them right for "associating with [[Title Drop| the hoi polloi]]".
