'''Raz:''' You've got the ''brain'' of a little girl? \\

* One of the opening lines from the {{Combat Commentator}}s in ''FossilFighters: Champions'' is along the lines of "One fighter will emerge with the heart of a champion --IN HIS TEETH!"

* This ''VGCats'' strip. [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=164 LINK!]]

* Might be implied in ''RepoTheGeneticOpera''. Mag comments that Shilo has her (dead) mother's eyes and... hair. It is common for people to be compared to their parents that way... except for that Shilo, because of her treatment, wears a wig.

* An Irish comedian (think his name was Bill Murray) once said "I have the body of an eighteen-year-old. I keep it in my fridge."

-->'''Gomez:''' He has my father's eyes.\\

* Apparently, TimSchafer (the designer of both ''Grim Fandango'' and ''Psychonauts'' above) likes this joke as much as Terry Pratchett. Emperor Doviculus from ''BrutalLegend'' keeps enemies' body parts within his own body, e.g. [[spoiler:Drowned Ophelia's heart, however briefly]]. Also, if you lose the final battle against him, the game gives us a NonStandardGameOver where he quips "You have your mother's eyes. And soon, so shall I... On a necklace, I think." before [[EyeScream shoving his fingers into Eddie's eye sockets]].

* From ''RadiantHistoria'': "After he'd spilled his guts, well... he spilled his guts."

* ''DarkCloud2'' has Dr. Osmond, who, upon being asked by Monica to lend a hand, reluctantly hands one of his over.

* Variation in ''{{Bionicle}}'':

* On ''TheDrewCareyShow'', Mimi is described as having a crying little girl deep inside her...and it's giving her indigestion.

* A variation in a ''ComicStrip/FarSide'' comic: a factory worker is said to have a good head on his shoulders... it's best not to mention it. The worker does indeed have a tiny head growing out of his shoulder.

-->'''Alice''': I have the heart of a true hero!\\

* In [[Fanfic/AThinVeneer A Thin Veneer]], a conversation between Klingon general Korrd and an Andorian Federation officer used this gag.
--> "The Federation knew what it was doing when they dragged you back kicking and screaming to lead this expedition, old bug. You've the hearts of a pirate."
--> "I know." ({{Beat}}) "I keep them in a jar in my quarters."

-->Junior walks into the kitchen and asks his mother, "Mom, you know how you said that my new baby sister has your eyes and Dad's nose?"
-->"Yes," the mother answers. "What about it?"
-->"Well, now she has Granddad's teeth!"

-->''"You've got heart, kid...but no lungs!"''

** ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wizard of Oz]] event in Karazhan. The Tin-Man's starting line is "I could really use a heart. Say, can I have yours?"
*** Even worse is a joke by female Forsaken:
--> Of ''course'' they're real! They're not ''mine'', but they're real!
* A conversation in ''VideoGame/XMenLegends II'' goes something like this:
-->''"Sabretooth has a good heart!"''
-->''"That's only because he ripped it out of someone else."''

--> '''Doof''': I thought I'd have both my eyes...
--> '''Doof 2''': It's in this pouch!
--> '''Doof''': ...ouch!

* In ASongOfIceAndFire, Tyrion was having a bad day. The maester tried to cheer him up by saying "take heart", but a cranky Tyrion simply said "Whose?"

* ''{{Garfield}}'': "Inside every fat person, there's a thin person trying to get out. Mine escaped years ago."
* A variation in a ''FarSide'' comic: a factory worker is said to have a good head on his shoulders... it's best not to mention it. The worker does indeed have a tiny head growing out of his shoulder.

* Creator/RobertBloch, who wrote ''Literature/{{Psycho}}'' among other stories, liked to say he had the heart of a little boy...in a jar on his desk.

* ''SamuraiShodown IV'' has a variation of this in a post-battle-quote for Bust-Jubei: "You've got guts. Pick them up!"

* ''LookingForGroup'' has this in a parody of the "brains, heart and courage" from ''TheWizardOfOz''. YouDoNOTWantToKnow [[GroinAttack what's]] [[{{Squick}} used]] [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/177 for "courage"...]]

* Terry Bogard in ''KingOfFighters '95'' also indulges into this: "You had guts, kid. Now wipe 'em off the pavement!"

* Used in ''GrimFandango'':

* ''[[DanAndMabsFurryAdventures DMFA]]'' has one [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_VDay002.php here]], delivered via a singing telegram.

* ''TheSimpsons'' Halloween episode, they had Kodos and Kang saying they had the hearts (''splat!'') and minds (''plop!'') of the Earth people.
* In ''{{Futurama}}'', "Insane in the Mainframe", after Fry recovers from thinking he's a robot, Bender tries to compliment him by saying that even though he's human, he has the heart of a robot, adding "just like inside my cold, hard exterior is the heart of a human." Which he pulls out. Everyone else is disgusted, but Bender just asks "What?"

* A conversation in ''{{X-Men Legends}} 2'' goes something like this:

* Played with in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', [[CaptainObvious obviously]].

* On ''Series/{{Once Upon a Time}}'', a lot of people have a tendency to either rip other people's hearts out ([[spoiler:Regina, Rumplestiltskin, Cora, Captain Hook (not joking)]]), be controlled/manipulated by the person who has their heart (too many to list, [[spoiler:as Cora once went to town on an entire village]]) or be killed when their hearts are crushed (again, too many to list). Cora is notable [[spoiler:for being the only one to rip out her own heart (for safekeeping) and be killed when it is put back in.]]

* RobertBloch, who wrote ''Literature/{{Psycho}}'' among other stories, liked to say he had the heart of a little boy...in a jar on his desk.

* TomLehrer's "I Hold Your Hand In Mine":

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' has Scarlet Scarab doing this.
** He's evil alternate Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle, and the line is "I've got the heart of a real hero!" while talking to himself. Batman (skulking through the shadows) pricks his ears up. "I keep it in a jar in my closet." Batman is not amused.

* On ''Series/{{Once Upon a Time}}'', a lot of people have a tendency to either rip other people's hearts out ([[spoiler:Regina, Rumplestiltskin, Cora, Captain Hook (Not joking)]]), be controlled/manipulated by the person who has their heart (Too many to list, [[spoiler:as Cora once went to town on an entire village]]) or be killed when their hearts are crushed (again, too many to list). Cora is notable [[spoiler:for being the only one to rip out her own heart (for safekeeping) and be killed when it is put back in.]]

* Rokhan in ''{{Warcraft}} III'' offers this unit response gem: "I've lost me head! It was about, ah, yea big, I was keeping in on my spear. If you find it let me know."
** VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft has the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wizard of Oz]] event in Karazhan. The Tin-Man's starting line is "I could really use a heart. Say, can I have yours?"
