I saw this on a box of Frosted Flakes a loooong time ago and saved it, determined to one day share some new wording with the world. It may be childish, but it made me laugh. Who are the ad wizards who came up with this box? It’s just BEGGING for it.
That last one is a veeeeery obscure movie reference - Now the twilight zone reference - that was easy compared to this - I want movie and year. Bonus points for the next line.
Anyone have any other lines for Tony™ and his NAMBLA buddy?

Rob Liebman (”Say it agiiin!”) in ‘Up the Academy’, early ’80s-ish.
I wanna say it was followed up by “Particularly nasty weather”, but that part may be from something else.
Whoa. I hadn’t thought of that movie in ages. You’ve blown my mind. And what’s with the early ’80s being 20+ years ago? How did that happen??

Wow, Tony, how can I score like you?
Try sniffing a smurf’s ass until your nose turns baby blue. That’s what *I* do!

man you guys kick ass - I thought for sure no one would get that reference, but two people nailed it right off the bat. I might need to get a copy of that DVD for old time’s sake - and yes, he says, “particularly nasty weather.” when the lady says, “what?”
good work!

Great stuff, Jon!
I was thinkin maybe a line from Airplane would be good? “Ever see a grown man naked?” or of course the priceless “Ever been to a Turkish prison?” line.

In the original joke, it was either “typical country weather?,” “What did you say?” or “Looks like rain,” depending on where you were in the joke.

That is so wrong, it’s right.
Saluti dall’Italia! These lines translated into Italian would be the bomb. Just say the word…
My humble Canuck contribution, and probably neither subtle nor sophisticated for the likes of you hipsters:
“You need a big stick, and a couple of lucky pucks. I think I have ‘em in my pants here somewhere…”
