* In ''[[Rugrats in Paris]]'', Coco LaBouche's boss tells her that the person he wants running his theme parks must have the mind of a child. Coco mutters (too quietly for him to hear - but Angelica hears it) that she thinks she has one in a jar somewhere...

** Actually, [[It Makes Sense in Context]].

* A futuristic reality-TV fashion show in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' features a face-off section. No, it's not a section comparing how well two different people carry off the same outfit, it's when they move from clothes into plastic surgery.
