->[[Film/{{Magnolia}} Respect the cock and tame the cunt]]. And of course, by cock, I mean our hallowed justice system. That great blind cock that towers over us all and comes down hard on those who do bad! Like those who killed Mr. Husband! And by cunts, I of course mean CUNTS! Cunts like these two fallen angels who ruthlessly snatched away the life from our poor victim! These cunts who must be tamed before they try to destroy all of the joys of manhood! Our cock of justice will make these cunts wet with the moist tears of regret from what they've done!

->The villain is the young and hustling Senator [[PunnyName Vane]] with 'a big appeal to the young and disadvantaged' (i.e. Commies)--just like [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy Jack-Bobby-Teddy]]. The description of Mrs. Vane makes one think irresistibly (and intentionally) of Madame Onassis--not to mention Harold Robbins, Jacqueline Susann, and the horde of other writers who take such people and put them in books thinly-revealed rather than disguised.

->'''[[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee:]]''' So [[HeroProtagonist this is our guy]] on the left, Ryan...\\
'''Gabriel:''' Creator/NeilGaiman.\\
'''Yahtzee:''' --Yes, Neil Gaiman.\\
'''Gabriel''': Staring at Ryan, I can't help but imagine that's exactly what Neil Gaiman wore for, like, the six weeks after he saw the original ''[[Film/TheTerminator Terminator]]'' movie.

->It seems impossible to begin anywhere other than the ending. As I have noted before, this is a script that blatantly advocates for the extra-judicial murder of UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch. Sure, yes, Magnussen is only a transparent metaphor for Murdoch and not Murdoch himself, but all the same, and especially given how willing [[Creator/StevenMoffat Moffat]] has been in interviews to double down and say that he thinks killing Magnusson was the right thing to do, it's hard to overemphasize the moment, especially given the glorious bluntness with which Mary puts it: ''"People like Magnussen should be killed. [[GoodIsNotNice That’s why there are people like me.]]"''

->The last I heard from Deee-lite was back when Miss Kier sued this playstation game called ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'' because they allegedly ripped her off for the lead character. I've played it, it's basically [[SimonSaysMiniGame Simon]] with a dance beat, it's okay. (And yeah, the lead character is totally her, but she didn't win the lawsuit.)

->Daffney's UsefulNotes/SarahPalin ripoff gimmick, "The Governor", debuted after the 2008 American presidential election and lasted for nearly four months before {{Wrestling/TNA}} figured out Daffney didn't need it. At one point, TNA actually invited Sarah Palin to one of their [=PPVs=], offering to donate to a charity if she showed up. She didn't. (Smart...[[BrainlessBeauty ish gal.]])

->Probably the most famous pro wrestling figure ever, Wrestling/BrucePrichard played the role of Brother Love to the absolute hilt, wearing an all-white suit and sporting bizarre red makeup that we believe was to signify his southern heritage. While he never actually preached the word of God (he preached the word of 'Love'), his piped in music, complete with choir, made it pretty clear that he was a parody of televangilists such as Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart who had come under attack during this time....While such a gimmick should have had a very short shelf life, Prichard was so good in the role that he was able to parlay what should have been a two-month stay, tops, to a character that was a regular on WWF shows for years. In fact, at one point he even became a manager...\\\
...of wrestling nuns, no less.

->Noted butt plug Creator/PiersMorgan got a lot of shit thrown at him for saying that Shia is 'insulting real victims' by making up rape claims for attention. Piers has gone on and on about how he thinks Shia is lying. Piers is really trying to get to the bottom of it (read: get as much attention as possible)...I still have a million questions, but I’m sure a few will be answered when ''[[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Law & Order: SVU]]'' airs an episode about this and you know they will. They probably cut short their Thanksgiving break to shoot it right away. If you’re a butt plug with a SAG card, call your agent now before they cast the Piers Morgan role. It’s a role you were born to play.

->Captain Cook is an interesting character. On the one hand, he seems like he could just as easily be a parody of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration another iconic science-fiction franchise]]... The very British Creator/PatrickStewart -- who rather infamously used to make fun of the ''Doctor Who'' actors at the Royal Shakespearean Society, according to Creator/LallaWard -- played the lead role in the series. Despite the fact that Jean-Luc Picard was clearly meant to be French, Patrick Stewart’s Britishness shone through, right down to the character’s fondness for tea. Much like Cook, the show would often feature Picard [[ArmchairMilitary sipping tea on the ship]] while his officers engaged on risky missions planet-side.\\\
Like Picard, Cook is constructed with a decidedly British stiff upper lip. He repeatedly defines himself as an 'explorer', a description that implies a far more academic and distanced style than the Doctor is used to. He’s rather detached and cold, maintaining emotional distance...he makes it clear that his relationship with his traveling companion is rather more rigidly defined than that between the Doctor and Ace.
