Line 54:
* In ''[[Animal Crackers]]'', [[Marx Brothers|Groucho]] asks Chico to play a song about Montreal: "I'm a dreamer, Montreal." This is a mangled reference to the De Sylva, Brown & Henderson song "Aren't We All?"
* In ''[[The Flight of Dragons]]'', the closed captioning for the official VHS releases frequently substitute the word "horn" for the actual word "hoard".
* In the movie ''[[The Long Kiss Goodnight]]'', Samuel L. Jackson misquotes England Dan and John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" when he sings, "I'm not talking 'bout the linen," and Geena Davis corrects him that the song is actually saying, "I'm not talking about moving in." Then again, the line was famous for being incomprehensible, especially on 70s-vintage AM rock radio when it was originally a hit. (To the point that the duo would deliberately mumble it in liver performances to "preserve the mystery".)
* ''[[Role Models]]'' referenced "I want to Rock and Roll" with, "I like to rock and roll part of every day. I can only rock and roll from three to five."
* When Scott was reading ''Twas the Night Before Christmas'' to his son in ''[[The Santa Clause]]'', his son mistakes "arose such a clatter" for "a Rose Suchak ladder". This turns out to be justified.
Line 61:
* ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'': "Frollo's nose is long, and he wears a truss." <ref> A truss is a tricorn-like headdress worn by judges in the Middle Ages</ref>
* In ''[[Flushed Away]]'', Roddy protests to the thugs looking for Rita that he's just an innocent bystander. They now think that Roddy's name is Millicent Bystander.
* The Christmas short ''[[Olive the Other Reindeer (Film)|Olive the Other Reindeer]]'' has this set off the plot. Upon hearing on the radio that one of Santa's reindeer is injured and that they'll be counting on "all of the other reindeer," Olive decides that Santa did not say this, but the title, and that she is not a dog at all, and that she is in fact, a reindeer. So she goes to the northNorth polePole to prove it. A bus driver later tells Olive that he used to think the pledge of AllegenceAllegiance was about him, Richard Stands. As in, "And to the Republic, for Richard Stands."
* Near the end of [[Cars|''Cars 2'']], Mater, Finn [[Mc Missile]]McMissile, and Holly Shiftwell are all captured by the Lemons and are trapped inside a giant clock tower in London, England. As the Lemons proceed to drop Mater into the clock's gears to shed him alive, the tow truck immediately yells, "Dad gum!", and as a result he accidentally deploys his weapons Finn and Holly gave him and blasting away the ropes suspending them over the clock gears, therefore freeing himself and allowing them.
