** The end CreditsGag features [[Creator/TerryJones "Spam" Terry Jones]], [[Creator/MichaelPalin Michael "Spam" Palin]], [[Creator/JohnCleese John "Spam John Spam John Spam" Cleese]], [[Creator/GrahamChapman Graham "Spam Spam Spam" Chapman]], [[Creator/EricIdle Eric "Spam, Egg and Chips" Idle]], and [[Creator/TerryGilliam Terry "Spam, sausage, spam, egg, spam" Gilliam]], and a list of other names with "sausage", "egg", "spam", "tomato", and other food ingredients in their name.

** Actually parodied quite a bit; in a sketch that parodies Smurfs [[JustForFun/XMeetsY filtered through]] Avatar, Gargamel as a Smurf is learning their language and apparently failing proper grammar and inflection. In vignette of women characters discussing sex, Smurfette gets a sext about how someone wants to "smurf her smurf" and she responds how that could literally mean anything.

* Again, ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', although the animation was toned down compared to the comics. Primarily they used the word Smurf as a positive adjective.

** Utilized amusingly in the original Japanese of ''{{LightNovel/Bakemonogatari}}''. The protagonist orders a catgirl to repeat a tongue twister he recites, and her version is hopelessly-but-cutely mangled by about twenty "nya"s. The fansubs offer an interesting solution to this: The tongue twister is given as "Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie?", and her reply is "Can mew imeowgine an imeowginary meownagerie meownager imeowgining meownaging an imeowginary meownagerie?"
