Shave and a Haircut: Difference between revisions

 

While the rhythm is flexible, and the words change, it's always the same tune.

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* ''[[Ace Ventura]]'' used this in the [[Animated Adaptation]]: He suspects he's being followed and does the "Shave and Haircut" on his car, since the other car responded with the two bits, he knows he's being followed.

* Del Griffith clears his throat to this tune in ''Planes, Trains and Automobiles''.

* This tune shows up in [[You've Got Mail]] at the end of the scene where Joe and Kathleen meet (physically) for the first time.

* In the scene in ''[[Forrest Gump]]'' where Forrest goes on ''Captain Kangaroo'', Forrest has recently played ping-pong in China. As Forrest enters the studio, the (in-movie) band plays a jingle starting with an asian-sounding tune and ending with Shave and a haircut.

* [[Cute Bruiser|To]][[Little Miss Badass|ph]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' knocked on a door this way in the [[Grand Finale]], but instead of ''knocking'' the "bits" part she {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|knocked said steel door down. She then turned it into armor, and used it to defeat multiple superpowered firebenders in a couple seconds]]}}.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had it at the end of the Presidents Day assembly's song for "lesser" President.

* Played by Owen in the ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' episode "I Triple Dog Dare You" on his freebie bottles.
