Made From Real Girl Scouts: Difference between revisions

 

 

'''Girl Scout:''' [[Granola Girl|I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives.]] Are you ''sure'' they're real lemons?<br />

'''Pugsley:''' Yes.<br />

== Comics ==

* Linkara's review of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' #1 in ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]''. His comment on Nightwing's monologue, specifically.

'''Linkara:''' Admittedly, it's hard to get the Cubans to go into the meat grinder, but.... }}

* There's a ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' cartoon where Calvin asks him mom if hamburgers are made out of people from Hamburg.

'''Calvin:''' [[Irony|I don't think I can finish this.]] }}

* superdickery.com presents: [http://www.superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=805:make-this-squirrel-lamp Squirrel Lamp] ads. Yes, sir, out of a real squirrel! Not from squirrel fur, just a stuffed one.

* In ''[[Sky High]]'', the students' gym class involves a game called "Save the Citizen", which involves saving a mannequin that's being dropped into a shredder. Mr. Boy offers this reminiscence to Mr. Medulla: "Remember when we used to use real citizens?"

* Part of a [[Fridge Brilliance]] moment in ''[[Trick 'r Treat|Trick R Treat]]''.

** The exact same joke occurs in ''[[Vampire in Brooklyn]]''.

** A non-cannibalistic version appeared in ''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'', after Riggs went up against a Chinese mobster(played by Jet Li):

* Playfully mentioned in ''[[In the Loop]]'':

'''Jamie MacDonald:''' Oh, you know me, Malc. Kid gloves... but made from real kids. }}

** An example (no doubt unintentional) of [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], since kid gloves ARE, or historically were, made from real kid: the leather from young goats, which is very soft.

* Starbucks used to sell [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/monster-cookies-recipe/index.html monster cookies] -- a type of oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, M&Ms (or Smarties), raisins, and occasionally other things.

* [[Bill Hicks]] had a bit about eating at a Vietnamese restaurant:

'''Bill''': ''[[[Beat]]]'' What the fuck did I just eat? }}

* Should you eat your pizza with your fingers?

* Another old chestnut involves a judge questioning three people in a disturbance at the zoo. The first two said, "We were just throwing peanuts at the elephants." When the judge questioned the third person(who had a cast on his arm and was on crutches), he answered, "I'm Peanuts!"

* An old Yakov Smirnoff line:

 

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' has the famous "Crunchy Frog" sketch.

'''Milton:''' If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it? }}

** A better example from the same sketch is the Spring Surprise, which is a chocolate containing a coiled spring which gives the person eating it free facial piercings. It fits this example perfectly, since the ingredients are clearly printed on the box. If you don't read them, that's your own fault.

* The ''Dooper'' chain of concession stands in ''[[The Amanda Show]]'' serves snacks that are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what they say on the tin]] -- including Electric Zaps and Oatmeal [[Fire-Breathing Diner|Del Fuego]].

* In the short-lived series ''Cafe Americain'', one of the regulars is the widow of a deposed third-world dictator, constantly scheming for money with which to raise an army and retake her country. One of her plots involves getting into the ice cream business. She tries a number of disgusting flavor combinations before hitting on one everyone likes: Mint Chocolate Chip. Offhandedly, she mentions that it's made from all natural ingredients: mint, chocolate, and Chip.

* Joked about in an episode of ''[[Home Improvement]]'' when Jill was trying to cheer up Mark: "Would you like a piece of angel food cake? I made it myself... It was real hard to find fresh angels this time of year."

* A wardrobe variant in an episode of ''[[Angel]]''. Artode, a demon guest at Wolfram & Hart's Halloween party is wearing what appears to be a green leather jacket.

'''Artode:''' Not made in, made from. I skinned it myself. ''(pause)'' Anybody you know? }}

 

* ''[[Discworld]]''

** From the novel ''[[Discworld/The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'', a conversation between a teetotaler and a vampire:

'''Margolotta:''' No. This, I'm afraid, is the other kind. }}

** Similar to a line from ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'':

* Similarly, in ''[[Nightside]]'':

** Also in the ''[[Nightside]]'' specifically ''Hell to Pay'', John Taylor buys a particularly sleazy informant a glass of Angel's Urine (not a trade name) and an order of Pork Balls (serving size: 2).

* The ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'' has the galactic standard military ration colloquially known as the [[Indestructible Edible|rat bar]]. These were widely rumored to be made with real rats, and, given the state of agriculture on most of the planets, they probably were.

== Video Games ==

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''. Vrishika describes the nature of the "Baby Oil" she's selling:

** Vrischka also sells a chocolate mephit, which is a real mephit magically transformed into pure chocolate.

* ''[[ADOM]]'' has hurthling (halfling/hobbit equivalent) cakes - cursed ones contain real hurthling and stun non-troll characters.

* Inverted in an episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', where Elmyra thinks whale oil is made ''by'' whales rather than ''from'' whales.

* Referenced in ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Plankton]] is looking for the final ingredient to his Goo-goo Gas (which ''should'' make anyone a baby). He then finds baby powder in the shopping market. [[Hilarity Ensues|Guess what.]]

* One episode of ''[[Mission Hill]]'' has the gang trying to cut back on expenses, which includes buying discount dog food. The can's label is in a foreign language, but has a picture of a dog. Judging from their pet dog's reaction, the meat isn't so much intended for dogs as made from them.

* In a "[[Hansel and Gretel]]" episode of [[Johnny Bravo]], Carl finds a cook book for German Chocolate Cake in the Witch's house. The recipe is chocolate, cake and Germans.
