Line 91:
* ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to the future]]'': Biff's pals threaten Reginald, with a racial slur no less; Reginald's tough-looking friend Martin shows up with ''his'' three tough-looking friends. [[Oh Crap]]...
* ''[[Police Academy]]'': trying to intimidate a police officer would usually fall into [[Bullying a Dragon]] territory, but in the 6th movie, the officer in question is sweet, shy, and meek-looking Officer Hook. At the beginning of the movie, she's writing a citation for a car parked in a red zone, when the owner — a bigwig in an overstuffed suit — tries to scare her out of ticketing him (claiming his brother-in-law is on the city council), threatening to have her demoted, and then tearing up the citation. He regrets it; she comes back quickly with additional citations (for parking too far from the curb, blocking a hydrant, having no license plate, having an expired tag, [[Laser-Guided Karma| littering]], attempting to extort an officer, and destroying the first citation, along with the original one for parking in a red zone) and then ''tells'' a tow truck to impound the car. She breaks her sweet attitude to punctuate what she tells him so he won't forget it.
* ''[[Willy's Wonderland]]'' asks the question, "What would ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' be like if it were an [[Action Adventure]] game with an [[Action Hero]] protagonist, rather than a [[Strategy Game]] with a [[Guile Hero]]." Like the game, the protagonist ("The Janitor") hired by a [[Suck E. Cheese's]] where the animatronics are monsters, and like the game, he is the latest in a long line of employees who all met gruesome, untimely deaths. But to answer the question, no contest, the killer animatronics get their asses handed to them. They ''really'' should have thought twice about messing with [[Nicholas Cage|''this'' Janitor]].
