Line 116:
** This is a pretty common joke in the old Eastern Bloc. I've most often heard it cited as an [[East Germany|East German]] "[[German Humour|Fritzchen]]" joke, although it's been told as a Russian/Soviet "Vovochka" joke, as well.
** Mike Myers parodies this on a behind-the-scenes feature on the DVD for The Cat In The Hat, combining it with a running joke. "Under capitalism, man exploits his fellow man. Under communism, it's the complete opposite. *pause* Because of the sand which is there."
* ''[[City of Thieves]]'' mentions this:
{{quote|We couldn't feed our pets, so our pets fed us.}}
* In ''[[Humanx Commonwealth|Mid-Flinx]]'', Teal warns Aimee about the flower in her hair: "You do not wear the cristif, the cristif wears you." Unfortunately for Aimee, Teal's not making a Yakov Smirnoff reference: {{spoiler|The "flower" is an invasive parasite, which sends its tendrils fatally bursting from Aimee's flesh seconds later.}}
