History Main / LadiesandGerms

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'': In "Squidina's Little Helper", Patrick addresses his viewers with "babies and gentlemen..." We then see that his audience consists of babies and fancy-looking fish, one of whom marvels, "That's us!"

* The referee in the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoon ''To Duck Or Not To Duck'' opens the boxing match between Daffy and Elmer with "Ladies and gentleducks..."

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy'': Eddy normally started out scams like this.

** Jimmy later uses a flattering version during his magic show for Betty Quinlan: "Lady and gentleman ... and Betty!"

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' [[http://www.garfield.com/comics/vault.html?yr=1981&addr=810420 once]] greeted his audience as "Ladies and Germs" while on the fence for a show.

** Although, it's worth noting that Morn has been addressed with masculine pronouns at any other given point in the series. Since he was the only Lurian we saw in ''DS9'' and the only named one to date in the entire ''Star Trek'' franchise, it could just be how his species prefers to be addressed.

* "Drip Fed Fred" by Music/{{Madness}} begins with "Gentlemen, assassins, and ladies of the night..."

* In ''Animation/BreadBarbershop'', all the characters are bakery foods like bread and pastries. In "Lonely Tart", the host of ShowWithinAShow ''Master Patissier'' refers to everyone as "Ladies and gentlebreads!"

* LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}: Wilford Warfstache uses 'Ladies, Gentlemen and other configurations of being' ([[spoiler:like Dark]]).

* ''WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier'', as well as other projects made by LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, feature the character Wilford M. Warfstache, a deranged, murderous talk show host who opens all his shows with "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and all other configurations of being!" This could simply be a randomly chosen catchphrase, or it could be a nod to Darkiplier, another character in the same universe who's technically [[SharingABody neither male nor female,]] or even [[HumanoidAbomination entirely human]].

* ''WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier'', as well as other projects made by LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, feature the character Wilford M. Warfstache, a deranged, murderous talk show host who opens all his shows with "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and all other configurations of being!" This could simply be a randomly chosen {{catchphrase}}, or it could be a nod to Darkiplier, another character in the same universe who's technically [[SharingABody neither male nor female,]] or even [[HumanoidAbomination entirely human]].

* There is some discussion about how "Ladies and Gentlemen" excludes those who consider themselves neither or both. Some suggest hosts say variations of those listed on this page.

* ''Film/TheDirtyDozen'' InSpace movie ''Legion'' has the "ladies and gentlemen" line being delivered straight (as in TheFuture there are {{Action Girl}}s) by the commanding officer, only for a BoxedCrook to find this ActuallyPrettyFunny as "No-one's ever called me a gentleman before." The commander then addresses them as "scum", which is clearly his real opinion.

* ''WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier'', as well as other projects made by Markiplier, feature the character Wilford M. Warfstache, a deranged, murderous talk show host who opens all his shows with "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and all other configurations of being!" This could simply be a randomly chosen [[CatchPhrase catch phrase]], or it could be a nod to Darkiplier, another character in the same universe who's technically [[SharingABody neither male nor female,]] or even [[EldritchAbomination entirely human.]]
