->''"You smell that? YOU SMELL THAT? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinking dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like [{{Beat}}] victory... Someday this war's gonna end..."''

This is a StockPhrase in which a character expresses a preference for something by commenting on how great it smells on a morning or afternoon. Originating with the above Film/ApocalypseNow quote, it has become a common StockParody, where whatever the character likes is substituted for the original "napalm." Often, the new noun is as distasteful as napalm.

Frequently followed straight up by "Smells like... Victory". Sometimes played slightly more redundantly as "I love the smell of X in the morning. [[ShapedLikeItself Smells like... X"]].
