<< SAMAS <snake>: A man... wassssss once... a mannnnnn... >>
Cobra Commander's Mantrium after he gets turned into a giant snake in "G.I. Joe: The Movie". The only riff being addressed in this post that wasn't one of mine.
<< SAMAS: Deep in the heart... of darkest America, home of the brave,
Sharkey says "Ha ha, you've already paid for this!" >>
From the Laurie Anderson song "Sharkey's Day" (seen on experimental video programs in the 80s).
<< TBS <Sephiroth>: Il Parazzo-sama ... once again I have failed you... >>
Ladies and gentlemen, due to illness, the part of Sephiroth will be played by Excel Excel. (Which is to say, it's an "Excel Saga" reference.)
<< EON: At NERV, Ritsuko discovers lobster sticks to magnet. >>
Courtesy of Elmer Studios' "Random DELTA Episode Generator", inspired by the relentlessly overwrought "Evangelion II: DELTA Invasion". She also discovers that pain hurts and that Tankor has the spark of Rhinox. In this case, the thing she's discovering was revealed in the lyrics of 512 Productions' "Lobster Magnet", which dovetails neatly into...
<< TBS <singing>: You got a Yuffie and you got a magnet, Yuffie has
materia but don't you grab it... >>
...that. Now you know, and I think we all know by now what knowing is.
