{{quote|''"Smell that? You smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. [[Trope Codifier|I love the smell of napalm in the morning.]] You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... Victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."''
|'''Colonel Kilgore''', ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''}}
This is a [[Stock Phrase]] in which a character expresses a preference for something by commenting on how great it smells on a morning or afternoon. Originating with the above [[Apocalypse Now]] quote, it has become a common [[Stock Parody]], where whatever the character likes is substituted for the original "napalm." Often, the new noun is as distasteful as napalm.
