This parody of "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast

Those interviews had always quickly devolved into questions about Jake’s favorite foods, what Marco had been like as a baby, what it was really like being forced to attempt to murder one’s family, all that inane nonsense.
Tom's narration, Animorphs fanfic Ghost in the Shell

He closes his eyes, and even with the winds this high up, he can pick up all the familiar scents. He plants his hands on the edge of the roof, and sinks himself into the smells of the city; the sea air, fresh-cut wood, the hempen rope that was just looped over his head and expertly tightened around his neck.

Of course. She raised this child. She gave him a home, heard his first word, taught him to read, gave him baths, carried him in a baby harness, read him stories when he was hyper, cheered him on when he was banned from the local ice cream shop, cleaned up vomit in the middle of the night, and even officially adopted him when he asked.

Furthermore, I am not human, and while I have been able to observe human behavior, sometimes your culture’s mores and traditions elude me, and do so for years. Trivial things, like what foods are acceptable for breakfast, what smells are considered pleasant to your palate, or the concept of war crimes.

    Literature 
I've heard of post-California cuisine. In fact I've even eaten it. No baby vegetables? Scallops in burritos? Wasabi crackers? Am I on the right track? And by the way, did anyone ever tell you that you look exactly like Garfield but run over and skinned and then someone threw an ugly Ferragamo sweater over you before they rushed you to the vet? Fusilli? Olive oil on Brie?
Patrick Bateman, American Psycho

In his front room, Clive had a framed print of the Battle of Waterloo, a collection of imported pornographic magazines, a CD player and a VHS recorder and video tapes of all Torvill and Dean's greatest performances. In his kitchen, he had a case of expensive wine, a robot-chef and a microwave oven. In his lavatory, he had copies of The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook, The Naff Sex Guide, and How To Be A Wally. In his work-room, he had a licensed handgun, five thousand pounds in small notes, and a fax machine. In his basement, he had a dead prostitute with her arm cut off.

The Teuman Empire in the jungle valleys of central Klatch is known for its organic market gardens, its exquisite craftsmanship in obsidian, feathers and jade, and its mass human sacrifices in honor of Quezovercoatl, the Feathered Boa, god of mass human sacrifices.

''On the way back they sang a number of tuneful and reflective songs on the subjects of peace, justice, morality, culture, sport, family life and the obliteration of all other life forms."

    Live-Action TV 
Michael: I'm sorry, Chidi, all the great philosophers in history...ended up in the Bad Place.
Chidi: All of my heroes are...?
Michael: Being tortured, yes, I'm afraid so. Actually, it is kind of clever how they punish philosophers. Everyday, they make them go to school, naked. And then they take a test in a class they've never been to. [chuckles; realizes Chidi isn't laughing and quickly sobers] Then they smash them with hammers. And that part is not so clever.
The Good Place, "Everything is Great!"

Lord Refa: You walked away from the greatest power I have ever seen, and now you expect me to do the same? They are the key to my eventual rise to the throne. Why should I abandon them?
Londo Mollari: Because I have asked you. Because your loyalty to your people should be greater than your ambition.
Lord Refa: Hah!
Mollari: And because I have poisoned your drink.

Richard's father: First we toast the man of the hour, then we drink, we bring out the food, we drink, then the ceremonial eating of the first husband's brains, and charades.

I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
Nirvana, "Lithium"

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to my lavatory. On Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra. I wish I've been a girlie, just like my dear papa!
Monty Python, "The Lumberjack song"

It's found in fish, it's found in juice, and even in the urine of every tested moose.

Do you like how I walk
Do you like how I talk
Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk

And when we meet, I'll be complete
I'll shake your hand and kiss your feet
Confess my love and buy you flowers
Eat your heart and absorb your powers
Lemon Demon, "Bill Watterson"

If there's one thing I hate—well, it's two things
(Better make it five million or ten):
It's the way folks in Washington do things,
And the dopes who elect them again.
Oh, that dumb one, can't someone defeat him,
Or will I have to do it myself?
Tell me, where's Mr. Booth when you need him?
That's a shrine to him there on my shelf!
Al Duvall, "The Statue of Virtue"

Anyone for tennis? Backgammon? Hara-kiri?

For 26 years, Victor Allen ran the Corner Stop, a soda-and-porn corner store in the city's downtown. A typical independent convenience store, the Corner Stop's magazine shelves were well stocked, the coffee was fresh-brewed and there was plenty of cheap candy. After 26 years, Victor decided he'd saved up enough money to realize his life's dream. He sold the store, bought an RV and traveled the country, kidnapping and murdering young girls for his sexual gratification.

"Voodoo figurines such as this were built and animated to assist troll witch doctors in minor, everyday tasks such as washing loincloths or scrubbing blood off the hut floor. They were often powered by flasks of mojo, troll sweat, the flesh of tribal enemies, or by DEVOURING TINY PORTIONS OF THEIR OWNERS' SOULS. But don't worry. Teeny, tiny little portions. You won't even notice they're gone. And think how clean your floors will be!"

All the chores around the house are mine to do. I can't weasel my way out of doing the dishes or the laundry, and the overgrown jungle of a backyard is silently mocking me for failing to keep it under control. There's no one else around who I can get to kill the spiders for me either.
As much as I like going on vacation, let's face it, places like the Willamette Valley are much better if you sleep the whole way through them, and it's really hard to do that if you're driving. (Although, it would be a lot easier to do if it weren't for that slight curve near Eugene...) Also, there was that one cave in California where I decided that it was dangerous to go alone, so I didn't go inside, even though it's supposed to have an amazing wall of ice in it.
If I get sick, I can't lay in bed all day while someone waits on me.
If someone has to call the mortgage company or make reservations or otherwise use that terrible contraption known as a telephone, it has to be me.
If I go into a store, there's no one else who can deflect the pushy salespeople.
And if I somehow get trapped in the crawlspace when trying to rig up that air conditioner I was talking about, there's no one who'll rescue me and I'll die down there and no one will ever find my body.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Even with two spouses who love each other very, very much, know full well that they're compatible, and use protection if they don't plan on conceiving, there are perfectly valid reasons to not want to have sex on any given night. For example, "It's not a good time in my daily routine", "We're in a public space right now", "We're running out of condoms", "I don't want to get sand in my butt", "I've had a long day and I'm exhausted", or "I just fell off the roof and shattered my pelvis".note
