11	->''"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."''
12	-->-- '''Nada''', ''Film/TheyLive'', the {{Trope Namer\|s}}
13
14	This oft-parodied line originated in the 1988 film ''Film/TheyLive'' (The line was actually ad-libbed by hero and pro wrestler "Rowdy" Wrestling/RoddyPiper.)
15
16	The [[BeamMeUpScotty "kick ass and chew bubblegum"]] quote is referenced quite often for laughs (word for word except for the one part where it's mangled, the reversal is common as many people find it flows more naturally); it's assumed all viewers should know it by name. This is some of the most obvious LampshadeHanging you will likely find anywhere.
17
18	Although it was originally used as a PreAsskickingOneLiner, ''Film/TheyLive'' was a deconstruction of the '80s in general and '80s action heroes in particular, so even there it likely wasn't meant to be entirely serious. In later references it generally indicates an IncomingHam. Related to this is IHitYouYouHitTheGround. Not related to an inability to [[TheKlutz walk and chew gum at the same time]].

25	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
26	* One volume of ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'' has the three male protagonists saying "We're here to kick ass and chew mochi balls... and we're all out of mochi." Seeing as gum hadn't been introduced to Japan yet, the chewy, doughy stuff makes an acceptable substitute.
27	* Kuwabara pulls this once in the dub of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', in the dark Tournament Arc. [[CoolBigSis Shizuru]] is not impressed.
28	* Why Koga feels he should have been at the final fight in ''Manga/InuYasha''... until his friends tell him otherwise.
29	* While the line itself is not uttered, ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'''s Naomi does in fact chew gum before kicking ass.
30	[[/folder]]

32	[[folder: Audio Drama]]
33	* In the ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' story "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTDAS2E1InfamyOfTheZaross Infamy of the Zaross]]", the Doctor asks the Zaross if they ordered an alien nemesis with a side of rice. Because the bad news is, they were out of rice.

50	[[folder:Fan Works]]

56	* From the ''Merlin'' fanfiction ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6899487/90/One-Hundred One Hundred]]'':
57	-->Now, Arthur finished his We're-The-Knights-of-Camelot-and-We're-Here-To-Kick-Ass-and-Drink-Ale-And-We're-All-Out-Of-Ale speech, and the knights hoo-rah'd back at him, running off to strike down their foes.

60	* There used to be a website hosting things like Spider-Man: Shush, and Avengers: Misassembled spoofing Marvel and DC crossover stories, using action figures.
61	--> '''Ultron:''' "I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. ... And even though I still have plenty of gum, I'ma still gonna kick all yo asses."
62	* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
63	** Kaiba declares "I'm here to kick ass and play card games, and I'm all out of cards." This is later parodied by Yami in "The Other Abridged Movie" with "I'm here to kick ass and play card games, and I'm all out of ass."
64	** In one episode, Bakura says, "I've come to kick ass and drink cups of tea, and I'm all out of tea!"
65	* A pre-Creator/TeamFourStar ''WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged'' take on the "Dead Zone" movie had a botched take on it:

68	* [=GanXingba=], the creator of ''WebVideo/AvatarTheAbridgedSeries'' produced this gem: "I'm hear to eat fire flakes and kick ass, and I'm all out of fire flakes."
69	* Humorously inverted in [[http://chzmemebase.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/memes-professor-layton.jpg this]] ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' meme.
70	* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' TheAbridgedSeries by [[WebAnimation/MadokaAbridged Pony Not Ready]]:
71	-->'''Kyoko:''' I'm here to kick ass and eat food. And I'm all out of food.\
72	'''Kyubey:''' [[PokemonSpeak Kyubey Kyubey Kyubey?]] [[note]](Subtitled:) You're out of food?[[/note]]\

77	'''Ash:''' What -- no, wait...''(rewind)'' I'm here to kick ass and play Pokémon, and I'm all out of ass!\
78	'''Brock:''' Still isn't that funny.
79	* A [[MemeticMutation popular meme]] quotes [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank Hill]] as saying "I'm here to kick ass and sell propane, and I'm all out of propane." Made doubly hilarious by the fact that this is something completely in character for Hank to say (although he never actually said it on the show).
80	* In the ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' fic ''FanFic/VowOfTheKing'', Bambietta attempts to introduce herself and Candice this way, only for Candice to ruin the line by handing Bambietta a pack of bubblegum.
81	[[/folder]]
82
83	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
84	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines'' parodies the line in one of Katie's ''Dog Cop'' movies, where she voices [[DogsAreDumb Monchi]] saying "I'm here to bust criminals and lick my own butt...and I'm all out of criminals".
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
88	* John Nada from ''Film/TheyLive'' is the {{Trope Namer\|s}}. He utters this line while entering a Bank infested with aliens disguised as tellers and security... in which he utters the quote from the top of this page.

90	-->'''Clint:''' I only came here to do two things, kick some ass and drink some beer. [glances over his shoulder] Looks like we're almost outta beer.
91	* Used as a StealthPun in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseofCobra'': at one point, it's established that Duke ''really'' likes [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Dubble Bubble]]. Right before the Paris chase, he gives his last piece to Breaker.
92	* Invoked during Roddy Piper's appearance at a wrestling match featured in the Juggalo documentary ''A Family Underground''.
93	* ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'' has this great quote by Veronica Corningstone (Creator/ChristinaApplegate).
94	-->'''Corningstone:''' Because I am good at three things: Fighting, screwing, and reading the news. I've already done one of those today, so what's the other one gonna be? Huh?
95	-->'''Ed Harken:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Screwing?]]
96	* In ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'':
97	-->'''Ash:''' You ain't leading but two things now: Jack and shit. And Jack left town.

When she encounters [[spoiler:Levix the undead knight]], she informs him that, "I don't see any fish… and I left my drink upstairs. So that leaves me my last vice."
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
114	* Although it's never explicitly referenced, an episode of ''Series/StargateSG1'' included a one-episode character shooting the hell out of a zombie while blowing bubbles with his gum.
115	* ''Series/MythBusters''. Invoked by Adam while Jamie is busy setting up their latest rig:
116	-->'''Adam:''' Mr Hyneman says it's time to bash some heads in, and chew some gum. And he's fresh out of gum.
117	* In 'The Final Countdown' episode of ''Series/TheITCrowd'', this line is uttered deadpan by mild-mannered nerd Moss:

129
130	[[folder:Music]]
131	* "The Meddler" by the Subway Thugs, a street punk band, has the line during the intro.
132	* "Duke, You Used To Be Cool" by Music/MiracleOfSound features the line, "Shit, I guess you found more gum" as an insult towards Duke's BadassDecay in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''.
133	* "Never fight a man with a perm" by Idles features lyrics "I said I’ve got a penchant for smokes and kicking douches in the mouth. Sadly for you, my last cigarette’s gone out".

136
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Roleplay]]

142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
145	* In the ''TabletopGame/{{Scion}}'' sourcebook ''Hero'', players are advised to make Physical Attributes their character's primary category "if you're building a Scion who kicks ass and chews gum, but happens to be all out of gum."
146	* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140225092746/http://wso.williams.edu/~msulliva/campaigns/bubblegum/ This]] simple tabletop system literally contains rules for being [[TitleDrop All Outta]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Bubblegum]].
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Video Games]]
150	* ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife'' have the local Pissco's loudspeaker saying a variant:
151	--> "I've come here to kick ass and Chew Bubblegum, and I don't have them now!"
152	* Two examples from ''VideoGame/RuneScape'':
153	** The description of the troll (named by the first thing they ate) [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Cliff]] is "He came down from the mountain to drink milk and kick butt... and he is all outta milk."
154	** Sir Owen: "I am here to kick ass and take names... and I am a [[KnightTemplar Temple Knight]], so I already know your names."
155	* The bubblegum line was quoted almost word-for-word by the main character in ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''. Thanks to ParodyDisplacement, many people actually attribute this line to Duke, rather than the film it actually originated from.
156	-->'''Duke:''' It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum.
157	** In ''VideoGame/DukeNukemManhattanProject'', the BigBad has built a giant robot in Duke's image. During the final level, you can hear the robot mangle this line into "I came to kick bubblegum and chew ass, and I am all out of ass."
158	** Also used in the 2011 ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' trailer. Near the end of the trailer as words are superimposed on the screen, two screens make mention to this. The first screen shows "...And He's Really...", the second screen (after a lengthy piss-off scene) says "Really", and the third screen shows "...All out of gum."
159	** Both the original and a subverted version are used in Jon St. John's promo for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZnQxEhnsBc Magfest 2010.]]
160	--->'''Duke:''' I'm here to kick ass and go to Magfest...''and I'm all outta ass.'' ''[[[Series/CSIMiami Sunglasses darken as a "YEEEEEEEEAH" fills the air]]]''
161	** The Twitter account [[https://twitter.com/QUOTESOFDUKE @QUOTESOFDUKE]] posts a combination of mangled actual Duke quotes, direct quotes from other characters/works, and random things that would just sound funny if they came out of Duke's mouth (which multiple voice actors including Jon St. John himself have taken it upon themselves to prove by voicing them). The account has mangled the bubblegum line more than once.
162	--->'''@QUOTESOFDUKE:''' I Have the Proper Amount of Gum for this Situation\
163	'''@QUOTESOFDUKE:''' I'm Here to Duke Nukes and Nuke Dukes. And I'm All Outta Nukes\
164	'''@QUOTESOFDUKE:''' I am replenishing my supply of gum so I don't run out before the next time I need to kick ass and chew gum
165	* ''VideoGame/MacarenaOfTheMissing'' has [[ShoutOut Dick Fallout]] speak only in catchphrases, where one was that "it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of ass".
166	* There is a Gunslinger boss from the Malta Group in ''VideoGame/CityOfVillains'' who greets your character with the line "Guess what? I'm all outta bubblegum!"

168	* ''Invictus'', a somewhat obscure strategy game, rendered the line as "I've come to kick butt and eat goats, and I'm all out of goats."
169	* The online game ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' has this as one of the many, ''many'' cheesy StockPhrases the Guardian Dragon uses when summoned.
170	* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'': One of Gwen's battle quotes: "...and I'm all out of mossgum!"
171	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': "I have come from the frozen heart of Naxxramas to feast on souls and deliver a vicious threshing upon our sworn enemies -- and I'm all out of souls."
172	** "Report to Vice Admiral Keller just northwest of here and let him know that you're all out of bubble gum."
173	** "It be time ta kick some arse an' drink double-rum! An' I almost be outta double-rum."
174	** "Came here to chew urchins and kick fin... and I'm all out of urchins"
175	** Blizzard ''[[http://www.wowhead.com/quest=12630/kickin-nass-and-takin-manes loves]]'' this one.
176	* ''[[VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi Warriors Orochi 2]]'', the second game in a series of crossovers between Koei's ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', has this one from Sun Wukong: "I'm ready to paint the town red! And I'm all out of paint!"
177	* Music/WeirdAlYankovic's ''Virus Alert'' game features the line, "I'm here to kick butt and chew bubblegum. And I'm all outta butt. Er, no, wait..."
178	* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'', one of the random NCR guards will occasionally say "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. Lucky for you, I still have one stick left." The player character can use the very line in Redding, if he doesn't particularly care about the impression he makes on the sheriff.
179	* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' a package of bubblegum can be found on a shelf in the Cottonwood Cove HQ Building, resting atop a box of shotgun shells. Very likely an invocation of the line, as Piper's character was brandishing a shotgun when making his announcement.
180	* ''[[TabletopGame/{{Champions}} Champions Online]]'' has a mission titled 'Chew Bubble Gum And'. To the development team's credit, the mission also contains [[ShoutOut multiple references]] to ''They Live''.
181	* A variation in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans 2'': the Blisk sometimes say, "We have come to kick ass... [[ImAHumanitarian and chew humans.]]"
182	* ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'':
183	** The marine has the line "I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta... ah forget it" if you [[StopPokingMe click on him]] enough times.
184	** Also, this is one of Tychus Findlay's {{Badass Boast}}s during his [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome little rampage]] with [[HumongousMecha The Odin]].
185	* [[AdamWesting Roddy Piper's character]] in ''[[VideoGame/{{WWE}} SmackDown! vs RAW 2008]]'' uses a version of this. "I used to chew bubblegum and kick ass! But I gave up on chewing bubblegum a long time ago, so now I kick twice as much ass!'
186	* The indie action game ''VideoGame/{{Meatgrinder}}'' opens with you quoting Roddy Piper's bubblegum line, word-for-word, as you prep yourself to launch a one-man raid on a convoy of thugs.
187	* Used straight in ''VideoGame/OneMustFall 2097'' with guest character VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit, "I'm here to kick butt and eat carrots and I'm all out of carrots!"
188	* In ''VideoGame/CargoTheQuestForGravity'', one of the evil robot gods accuses the protagonist of not being much of an engineer because "all [she does] is kick arse and chew bubblegum."
189	* This trope is taken literally in ''VideoGame/{{Ninjala}}'', where you kick butt as ninja kids and chew bubblegum, and use it for other things. Inverted because you'll never run out of gum, and no one actually says the line.
190	* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has an item that states, "You came here to make a lamp, and to beat things with a big club, and you're all out of light bulbs."
191	** The item [[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Pack_of_chewing_gum pack of chewing gum]] says that it makes you feel "like it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and you're all out of ass."
192	* Said by Cookie Masterson in the start of episode seven of the 2011 release of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' but with a different kind of gum. "I'm Cookie Masterson, and I came here to kick butt and chew gum. And I just ran out of chewing gum..."
193	* Certain guards in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' give a version of this line.
194	--> '''Covenant Guard:''' I like to crush skulls and eat sweetrolls... and I've no more sweetrolls.
195	* In ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', Wilhelm has a particularly mangled version of this trope:
196	--> '''Wilhelm''': It's time to chew ass and spit bubblegum. And I'm all outta ass.
197	* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' parodies this when Texas accidentally messes up the "take names" version of the phrase.
198	-->'''Texas''': I'm here to kick names and, er, wait hold on a sec...
199	[[/folder]]
200
201	[[folder:Web Animation]]
202	* ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/206621 Duke Nukem: Forever]]'' (no, not [[{{Vaporware}} that]] [[VideoGame/DukeNukemForever one]], the one by Creator/AndrewKepple) parodies it beautifully, with an elderly Duke Nukem finding out that his old ArchEnemy, Doctor Proton, have been placed in the same nursing home as him:
203	-->'''Elderly Duke Nukem:''' I'm here to kick ass and chew gum-- ''[dentures fall out]'' --and I'm all out of teeth!\
204	'''Elderly Doctor Proton:''' Plenty of gums, though.
205	[[/folder]]
206
207	[[folder:Web Comics]]
208	* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', Dr. Light mangles the line due to being really drunk in [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/070713 this comic]].
209	* In ''Webcomic/MacHall'', they were [[http://www.machall.com/comic/just-like-every-other-day all out of ass]].
210	* Referenced in ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': after a discussion between the Commander and Jared about how much of a nerd VideoGame/DukeNukem actually is (giving as an example his habit of quoting old movies), [[InadvertentEntranceCue Duke shows up and demonstrates said nerdiness]]:
211	-->'''Duke''': "Hey dudes! It's time to watch this special edition director's cut of ''Film/TheyLive'' and chew bubblegum."\
212	'''Duke''' ''(winking at Jared)'': "''And I'm all outta gum.''"
213	* ''Webcomic/NoNeedForBushido'' uses the line "Yori's ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and he's fresh out of bubblegum!" as a subtitle on its banner at [=TopWebComics.com=].
214	* Parodied in ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'', when the eponymous character gets pissed off at a [[GeniusLoci sentient Target store]]:
215	-->'''Wonderella:''' I'm here to buy bubblegum and eat cookies... ''and you're all out of bubblegum.''
216	* ''Felicity Flint'' of Jodie Troutman's various comics once gets distracted in the middle of it:
217	-->'''Felicity:''' I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of-- [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny OOH, Bubble Tape]]!
218	:: [[DontExplainTheJoke Isn't Bubble Tape bubblegum?]]
219	* Parodied in ''Webcomic/DragonTails'' [[http://www.dragon-tails.com/comics/archive.php?date=030704 here]].
220	-->'''Goldy:''' That's it, I'm stealing a one liner. Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of gum.\
221	'''Lemuel:''' Actually, I've got another pack of gum in my bag.\
222	'''Goldy:''' Uh... ta.
223	** Also played with, because the gum is why he then kicks ass. [[spoiler:The gum is actually a high power explosive, one of the few inventions created by the resident incompetent MadScientist (Bluey) that works as it's intended to.]]
224	* Also parodied in [[http://www.ansemretort.org/ansemretort/index.html?comic=339 this]] ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'' comic. Justified in that it's perfectly in-character for Sora.
225	* The ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' series ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' pairs a variant with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness when, in a donation-sponsored bonus comic, [[TheSmartGuy Pickle Inspector]] attempts to save the day with a desk fort.
226	-->[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000033.html "You're here for two things: to rain unspeakable devastation down on the forces of evil, and to flail your limbs about in a playful manner.\
227	"AND YOU HAVE NO ROOM IN YOUR FORT TO FLAIL ABOUT WHATSOEVER."]]
228	** Earlier, in the actual "canon" storyline, there was this one:
229	--->"You're here for two things: to fucking ruin someone's shit, and to play a friendly game of make-believe.\
230	"AND YOU'RE ALL OUT OF IMAGINATION."
231	*** Especially appropriate as it's been [[RunningGag repeatedly established]] that Ace Dick's imagination sucks.
232	* ''Webcomic/TodayNothingHappened'' had a semi-filler strip doing the usual subversion (only with dishes).
233	* In [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Pegwarmers Pegwarmers]], Deadpool parodied it [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Pegwarmers/5266896/ here]].
234	* The usual joke gets [[ExpoSpeakGag a little technical]] in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/5/8/ this statement]] by CEO Duke Nukem, as reported by ''Webcomic/PennyArcade''.
235	--> In a prepared statement, CEO Duke Nukem said that it was "time to liquidate non performing assets and chew gum, but that gum supplies were insufficient at this juncture."
236	* If you scroll enough to the top-left in [[http://xkcd.com/1110 this]] Webcomic/{{XKCD}}, you find someone saying "I came here to chew bubblegum... and I'm [[AntiHumor all out of bubblegum]]."
237	** Parodied in [[http://xkcd.com/1560/ this strip]].
238	* Parodied in ''Webcomic/AllenTheAlien''; Allen mangles it when he is drunk.
239	* ''Webcomic/{{Educomix}}'' uses it in true DadaComics style in [[http://educomix.webcomic.ws/comics/pl/303123 this strip.]]
240	-->'''Juice:''' We're here to chew gum and destroy Ecotologist equipment. And we're not really here to chew gum, we're only here to destroy Ecotologist equipment.
241	* ''Webcomic/ToothPasteForDinner'' provides the most meta possible version of this: [[http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/index.php?date=070813 Thing Doers]].
242	* Referenced in a page title in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty''. [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/02/06/and-shes-all-out-of-bubblegum/ Naturally, it's a page where much asskicking ensues]].
243	* Referenced in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' as a euphemism for activating a sleeper cell of assassins:
244	-->'''Kowalski''': I've got a wetwork sleeper cell in London. But if they 'run out of chewing gum' in Dom Atlantis it ''will'' come back on us.
245	-->'''Emm''': Take their gum.
246	-->'''Kowalski''': Understood. They'll be ready in eight hours.
247	* On ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'', Moustachio gets an AntiquatedLinguistics version of the line:
248	-->'''Hullcrusher:''' What exactly ''is'' your function?\
249	'''Moustachio:''' I breach hulls & collect pop-corn tins, and I am all out of pop-corn.
250	* In ''[[Webcomic/EdmundFinneysQuestToFindTheMeaningOfLife Edmund Finney's Quest to Find the Meaning of Life]]'', Morvac of the Understreet is here to chew bubblegum and crush occupied vehicles.

254	* Referenced by {{Trope Namer\|s}} Wrestling/RoddyPiper on Website/{{Twitter\|X}} by sending a tweet which said "Warning, out of bubble gum"
255	* In early February 2011, when ICANN assigned the last [=IPv4=] /8s, the line mutated for a time into "I'm here to kick ass and assign [=IPv4=] addresses... and I'm all out of [=IPv4=] addresses!"
256	* This trope is used by Website/SFDebris in his review of the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "Regeneration", riffing on the concept of heavily armed scientific expeditions.
257	---> "I'm here to measure soil toxicity and kick ass, and I'm all out of samples! makes machine gun noises"
258	* In ''Literature/SuperPowereds'', [[TheAce Angela]] has a variant when she's getting ready for the Intermurals.
259	-->'''Angela:''' Have no fear, little brother. I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum.\
260	'''Shane:''' [[LampshadeHanging Let me guess, you're all out of bubblegum.]]\
261	'''Angela:''' Nope, got a whole pack in my pocket. I can do both, that's how much of a badass I am.
262	* In Website/{{Cracked}}'s list of the "[[https://www.cracked.com/blog/19-t-shirts-that-make-weird-assumptions-about-women/ 19 T-Shirts That Make Weird Assumptions About Women]]", there was a T-shirt that says, "Warning: This girl is protected by a smokin' hot millwright and I'm not afraid to use him."
263	-->This shirt expresses pretty much the same sentiment, but more directly. The best thing about it was that I mistook a "millwright," a person who builds mills or maintains mill machinery, for a "milliner," a person who makes women's hats, which improves it roughly 1,000 percent. "My husband does two things: kick ass and make beautiful headwear. And he's all out of decorative feathers."

275	* Numbuh Four of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' also referenced the quote in "Operation: U.N.C.O.O.L.", with chewy pellets instead of gum. (The episode also featured zombies, so it fits.)
276	* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' 's "Anthology of Interest I." Leela is attempting to curb her murder streak and says to herself, "Whenever you feel like killing, just chew some gum instead." Then Amy makes a crack about her boots. Her response? "Do you have any gum?"
277	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' had Peter Venkman say "I'm here to chew bubblegum and bust ghosts! And I'm all out of bubblegum!"

281	-->'''Professor Pyg:''' We've been meaning to invite you over for tea and a good old-fashioned pummeling; sadly, we're all out of tea!
282	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonsLooniversity'': In "Toons in Space," Sweetie Bird spends most of the episode playing a space-themed video game, despite winding up on a space adventure. When she puts down the game long enough to realize what is going on, she takes control of the spaceship's wepaons and declares "I came here to eat birdseed and kick butt, and I'm all out of birdseed."
283	* In the episode "The Bellicose Proxy" of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'', Rose shows St. Cloud how to do this line properly:
284	-->'''St. Cloud:''' "I am Augustus St. Cloud, arch-nemesis of the Quizboy. I'm here to bust things up and chew bubblegum. And I find bubblegum unpleasant."
285	-->'''Rose:''' "You want to hurt my Billy?! [...] I'll let you take the first swing and if you don't put me down, I'll beat the living shit out of you until my arthritis kicks in. And I just took my Humira."[[note]]Humira is typically taken once every two weeks.[[/note]]

289	* [[MemeticBadass Reggie Fils-Aime]], Former Creator/{{Nintendo}} of America head honcho, became an Internet dear when in 2004 he uttered this gem during Nintendo's E3 conference: "My name is Reggie, I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games". Of course, the imageboards had a field trip with that... and Reggie saw it was good PR as he's been a source of one-liners since then. [[MemeticMutation His body is ready.]]
