{{quote|'''Brian:''' '' Okay, [[IKEA Erotica|insert rod support A into slot B]].''
Line 11:
Learned gentlemen of [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist|numerous disciplines]] have pondered as to whether or not said "she" is, in fact, [[Your Mom]].
Whoever "she" is, the use of the phrase as a [[Stock Phrase|stock expression]] is [[Newer Than They Think]]. Any use at all before 1992 and most uses before about 2005 can be considered instances of [[Have a Gay Old Time]]. Not to say that a similar sentiments weren't expressed with different wording, of course; the phrase "[[as the actress said to the bishop]]", the [[Orphaned Punchline|punchline to a joke lost to the mists of time]], is a notable older version.
On a related note, [[H. Rider Haggard]] wrote a book called ''[[She]]'', in which "She" refers to sorceress/queen Ayesha, who also goes by "She-who-must-be-obeyed". She does not, however, enjoy making sex jokes.
Line 30:
'''Supergirl:''' "I try." }}
* ''[[Starman]]'' used the older "as the actress said to the bishop" version, pulling it on ''himself'' after noting that "my rod feels good in my hand".

Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* ''[[The Draco Trilogy]]'' has this in a [[Have a Gay Old Time]] sort of way—back when it was written, the sentence hadn't quite acquired this meaning...
* In ''[[Fullmetal Lol]]'', The Situation <ref>aka, Greed</ref> has this as his [[Catch Phrase]].

Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6SMOSXa7A This 1929 sound test] for [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''Blackmail'' has an amusing variant, courtesy Hitch himself.

* In a book called ''A Play of Knaves,'' one character is getting grief from all the others about sleeping around, to the point where he's fed up with everything they say, even if it's to mock someone else, and we get this:
{{quote|'''Ellis snapped, "Leave off with the Hewwwgo, too, will you?" "That was probably the other thing Titha said," Joliffe grinned, and added in a shrill girl's voice, "'Leave off, Ellis.'"}}

▲== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[The Office]]'': Michael Scott is almost incapable of resisting an opportunity to use this joke. Even in the midst of a legal deposition.
** In an episode when Michael is being forced by his boss to not tell inappropriate jokes around the office, Jim deliberately starts saying things that could have double meanings until he finally gives in.
Line 118 ⟶ 109:
* On ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' Sookie say this when they look up at a gigantic house that Luke and Lorelai were contemplating buying. Lorelai repeats it not even ten seconds later.
* On ''[[Morecambe and Wise]]'', Eric Morecambe's version of this was, after anyone said anything that could be misconstrued as an [[Unusual Euphemism]], to give an [[Aside Glance]] to the audience and say "There's no answer to that!"
== Professional Wrestling ==
* Easily missed on the DVD, but during the commentary of a match featuring [[CHIKARA|Los Ice Creams]], Ultramantis Black says this to Chris Hero, after a fan calls out "Watch the cherry!" to the Ice Creams' opponent.
== Radio ==
Line 130 ⟶ 119:
'''John:''' ...Your private life's your own concern. }}

* In a Jára Cimrman play ''Hospoda na mýtince'':
{{quote|'''Prisoner''': ... she told me, a stranger: "Drink!"<ref>In Czech, "drink!" ("pij!") is a homophone of "penis" ("pyj").</ref>
