* [[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Sayoko]] has made a deal with a demon and turned the university into a fairy-tale castle. The reaction from those whose minds she didn't take over? "* sigh* Probably just the engineering students goofing around again. Last year they put a bus on the roof."

* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rainbow Dash]] asks "Is this some kind of cruel joke?" when she finally gets some cider, only to have it spilled on the ground.
