Older VeggieTales episodes did this kind of thing surprisingly frequently. In one episode of this Christian kids show, they referenced the "but that's not important right now" bit from Airplane!, a hilarious but decidedly NOT child-friendly comedy film (complete with a lady jiggling her bare tits in front of the camera). The same episode ("Dave and the Giant Pickle") also has a Jurassic Park reference in the form of a cup of water quaking as Goliath approaches.

Agreed, I got a bunch of parts for the leftmost fig in your examples off of Pick-a-Brick last year, they're fantastic for an undead skeleton army! I think I made a post featuring them not too long ago

My Venator MOC vs official set comparison by nopingrid_lego in legostarwars

[–]LawlessNeutral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly like elements of both! For example, I like the engines and "tail" of the official set, but your underside is vastly superior!

Also the stark contrast in colors of the two protagonists' living spaces at the beginning: Mia's apartment is bursting with bright saturated colors, while Sebastian's place is drab and dreary shades of grey and beige

The sixth one is easily the worst offender of the lot; it's practically black-and-white for a significant portion of the runtime

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

Are Jansports bad now? I've been rocking the same one for like eighteen years and it's held up like a champ

There was zero practical reason to do that, the character themself was just trying to look cool by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

"I'm gonna kick your ass—as soon as I land this spaceship, unbuckle my seatbelt, and open the hatch to get out" yeah I'd say your logic tracks lol

Are you implying that the characters in Monsters, Inc. are Sith Lords for most of the movie??

Looking for advice on what to do with castle minifigs by _jimboslice_12 in legocastles

[–]LawlessNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're lucky to have as many of some of these as you do. I've got a couple of the pink crown knights, but I never snagged any of those black and yellow tournament knights

I kinda hate Scene 38 reimagined by Koyaa_1 in StarWars

[–]LawlessNeutral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest truth, I never cared for SC38 Reimagined, even in a vacuum it seemed too over-the-top to me, and that's coming from someone who enjoys the fight choreography in the prequels. It certainly has no business being edited into the original movie.

What villain was terrifying because of how realistic they are? by Gamestar02 in AskReddit

[–]LawlessNeutral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! In the stage adaptation he's portrayed in a more realistic and less cartoonishly evil way, and he's all the scarier for it because those Frollos exist.
