Go To

Police Chief Wiggum: Well, that settles it. There is no silver tongue... is there, bonesy?
(Wiggum takes Jebediah's skull and uses it as a dummy.)
Skull: Oh, I wish chief. With that kind of dough, I could buy me some eyeballs!
Wiggum: That's the spirit, bonesy. Why don't you sing a song for the nice people?
Skull: Okay! Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah doo-dah, Camptown races five miles long...

"Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him... In America!"

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that."

Ben: She was holding his head in her hands.
Emily: (Thinking) Well, that's a romantic image. Two lovers. He's lying in her lap. She's cradling him as he dies...
Ben: Not him... not the whole of him. She was holding his head. Just his head. ...A bomb... can do terrible things to a human body... You've no idea...

Yakko: "Alas, Poor Yorick".
Dot: "Whoa, check out Skullhead."
Yakko: "I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy"
Dot: "He was funny".
— "Alas Poor Skullhead" Animaniacs

Emer took the head of Cu Chulainn in her hands, washed it clean, and put a silk cloth about it. Then she held it to her breast, and she began to cry heavily over it.

Alas, poor Nupraptor! I knew him well... well, not really.

Alas, poor Cubot. I knew him well.
Orbot, Sonic Lost World

Alas, Poor Chalice, I knew her well. [apathetically drops her head onto her remains and nonchalantly revives her]
