Old References

[Yoshisaur]

Well, here's a (not so) good insult I just came up with that, uh, makes a reference to something very old.

"Yo mama so fat she's bigger than the Venus of Willendorf!"

The Venus of Wllendorf is actually like a few inches tall I'm sorry

I like this. I laughed out loud.
If you said fatter than the Venus then it wouldn't matter that it's 2 inches tall.

you remind me of the babe

I guess I'll go with a few movie quotes. See if anyone knows where they come from.

"You know I love you more than my luggage!"

"What did you get me? I hope I don't like it." "You'll have to keep it; the man at the zoo told me he won't take it back."

"You remind me of a man." "What man?" "The man with the power." "What power?" "The power of voodoo." "Who do?" "You do." "Do what?" "Remind me of a man." "What man?"

The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer!



And I still don't understand this thread. Haha.

I have a tendency to reference obscure movies and cartoons. The most common reference for me to say is the term shpadoinkle from Cannibal! the Musical. (If you've not seen it here's the opening song.)

Two points for you!

The quote, "And the walls will ooze green slime!" from SpongeBob is apparently a reference to Amityville Horror. I wasn't aware of this until yesterday, when I was reading a Wikipedia article about it.

I wish I knew the other two... the one about the zoo is stumping me. It seems really familiar but I probably don't know it. Based on the one I immediately got I thought it might be from another movie from that time period. Bringing Up Baby? But that doesn't seem right...

I don't know. I'm give up.

That one is from The Thin Man. Nora is trying to get Nick to tell her what he got her for Christmas.

Oh shoot! I totally should've gotten that. Do I notice a trend? Is the third reference also from a Myna Loy film?

Oy, does anyone remember the "I'm Just A Bill" song from School House Rock? It used to air on ABC's One Saturday Morning in the 90s, but I'm pretty sure it's older than I am.

Yes, and conjunction junction, what's your function...lol. That also reminds me of the film Reality Bites, a lot of cultural references there from Gen X 90s.

I love old film quote trivia, am a classic film freak. There should be a game thread for that, but may not be a lot of people into it, seeing that original post with the film quotes made my day, though I think I'm wrong on the Marx brothers one...it's something else.

So do I, so am I to assume then that your also a It Happened One Night fan? Love that film, Gable was great there.
