Having a Heart: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* From ''[[The Addams Family|Addams Family Values]]'':

'''Morticia:''' Gomez, take those out of his mouth. }}

* The first ''[[Hot Shots]]'' movie: "I have my father's eyes."

== Humor ==

* A (less squicky) variant in this joke:

"Yes," the mother answers. "What about it?"<br />

"Well, now she has Granddad's teeth!" }}

* [[Attention Scum]]: "I have the eyes of a hawk, the legs of a cheetah, and the cock of a hippopotamus! All I need now is some glue."

* In ''[[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight]]'', Kamen Rider Strike uses this as an insult towards Sting, a wannabe Marine with asthma:

* In a ''[[Myth Busters]]'' test involving human skulls, the team has difficulty locating one. Eventually Adam brings in his father's skull... meaning, the narrator quickly states, a skull his father owns.

 

== [[Music]] ==

* [[Tom Lehrer]]'s "I Hold Your Hand In Mine":

As a precious souvenir. }}

** As well as his "Masochism Tango":

It's here that I must be. }}

* [[Jimmy Buffett]]'s "Schoolboy Heart." It starts out with puns ("I've got a schoolboy heart, a novelist's eye ...") but ends with Buffett speculating on how such diverse parts must have been {{spoiler|assembled by demented aliens from the dismembered corpses of shipwrecked sailors}}.

== Toys ==

* Variation in ''[[Bionicle]]'':

'''Strakk''': Yes. And I think we're about to see them. }}

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Used in ''[[Grim Fandango]]'':

'''Membrillo:''' Sorry, old coroner joke. }}

* Parodied in ''[[Psychonauts]]'':

'''Kochamara:''' Grrr... [[Actually Pretty Funny|Good one.]] }}

* Apparently, [[Tim Schafer]] (the designer of both ''Grim Fandango'' and ''Psychonauts'' above) likes this joke as much as Terry Pratchett. His Emperor Doviculus from ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' literally keeps enemies' body parts within his own body, e.g. {{spoiler|Drowned Ophelia's heart, however briefly}}. Also, if you lose the final battle against him, the game gives us a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] where he quips "You have your mother's eyes. And soon, so shall I... On a necklace, I think." before [[Eye Scream|shoving his fingers into Eddie's eye sockets]].

** [[World of Warcraft]] has the [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|Wizard of Oz]] event in Karazhan. The Tin-Man's starting line is "I could really use a heart. Say, can I have yours?"

* A conversation in ''[[X Men Legends]] 2'' goes something like this:

''"That's only because he ripped it out of someone else."'' }}

* There is one mission in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' called "Have a Heart", in which Niko, under Elizabeta's orders, has to take the shot-dead bodies of {{spoiler|Manny and his cameraman}} to a doctor-slash-organ dealer, falling more under this trope than what one could expect.

* ''[[Robots]]'': Mr. Copperbottom mentions that the newborn Rodney "got your mom's eyes and my dad's nose. I knew we were smart to save those parts."

** Dr. Doofensmirtz from [[Phineas and Ferb]] is somewhat distressed to discover that his alternate-dimensional self wears an eye-patch. They then do this trope ''in song''!

'''Doof''': ...ouch! }}
