Long List: Difference between revisions

'''Fletcher Reed:''' Depends on how long you were following me! * winces*

'''Cop:''' Why don't we take it from the top?

'''Fletcher:''' * growls* No. * gestures at his glove compartment* I have unpaid parking tickets. }}

* The standard ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' job interview includes asking if the candidate believes in "U.F.O.s, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis."

{{quote|We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.}}

* From ''[[Blazing Saddles]]'':

'''Taggart:''' Could you repeat that, sir? }}

* The famous firework stand scene from [[Joe Dirt]].

** After Ernie complains, the vendor tells him to eat the stack-o-flavors "standing on his head".

* "The Menu Song" from ''[[The Electric Company]]" (written by [[Tom Lehrer]]) [[List Song|consists entirely of this]].

* ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' was very fond of these.

** F'rinstance, from episode 817 (''[[Horror of Party Beach]]''):

{{quote|'''Oswald:''' Why dost thou use me thus? I know thee not.

'''Kent:''' Fellow, I know thee.

'''Kent:''' A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-liver'd, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch.|As a bonus, the nearly-fifty-year-old Kent proceeds to beat the crap out of the much younger Oswald, without ever telling the poor sap who he really is or why he's beating him up.}}

* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]: Act I Scene IV: Cyrano improvises twenty better [[Gag Nose|insults than “Your nose is very big”]]… about his own nose.

** Obscure quote alert. It's just an indirect Monty Python reference and ''really'' comes from a parody weapons table in the magazine ''Space Gamer #74'', which was also reprinted in one of the ''Murphy's Rules'' collections. This table specifically includes the "glaive-glaive-glaive-guisarme-glaive".

*** Which makes it references to not one, but ''two'' Python sketches, ''each'' of which is a Long List gag - {{spoiler|the Cheese Shop and "Spam, spam, spam, eggs, bacon and spam"}} for those who didn't get it - for a double subversion, but not a [[Double Subversion]]. (Actually it references three since the cat drags in a dead parrot ''as well as'' a general nod to the references, in the form of a snake - presumably a python.)

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Movie]]'' gives us Grandpa Moto's [[Overly Long Gag|overly long rant]]:

"...your Blu-Ray Discs, and your [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|pierced scrotums]], and your bull frogs, and your telekinesis, and your [[Marvel Comics]], and your [[YouTube]] Dot Com, and your nuclear physics, and your ingrowing toenails, and your [[Gears of War]], and your [[Quentin Tarantino]], and your power steering, and your elevators, and your illegitimate offspring, and your - hey, why did it fade to black?" }}

** [http://sharkrobot.com/t-shirts/you-kids-today It actually covers most of the shirt, on both sides.]

** Another ''Animaniacs'' short involves a rodent from the country trying to become a big name Hollywood actor. Anyone he didn't like was added to his "list of people I'd snub when I become rich and famous." By the end, it was quite a list.

* In the [[Looney Tunes]] short ''Bedeviled Rabbit'', [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] - after witnessing a mass exodus of panicky forest animals and being told that "the Tasmanian Devil's on the loose" - is handed a pamphlet that offers information about the creature, including a Long List of the other animals that it eats:

'''Bugs:''' [[Catch Phrase|Eh, what's up doc?]] }}

** Additional animals can be read via [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|Freeze Frame Bonuses]]. The first time we see the page, it is largely the same as the list Bugs lists off with the following additions: "...Lions, Jackals, Muscrats, Minks, Dingoes, Zebras, Foxes, Boxes..." When we cut back to the page after Taz's introduction, it is now a largely different list, this time featuring: "Moose, Mice, Moles, Snipes, Elk, Wapati, Tortoise, Road Runner, Elands, [[Department of Redundancy Department|Foxes]], Wolves, Guinea Hen, Vultures, Eagles, Humming Birds, Squids, Salamanders, Water Buffalo, Bison, Kangaroos, Pigeons, Daws, Unicorns, Vixens..." The end of the page is almost the same as what Bugs reads off after Taz appears, but people is missing, and bookending penguins are two new ones, "Ox" and "Widgeons".
