'''Harry:''' Appealing to my Gryffindor sense of honor and duty or what have you.\\
'''Mafalda:''' Duty is a funny word. It sounds like doody.

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': When Walter is provided a remote cabin to hide out in while on the run, he's only given ''two'' [=DVDs=] of ''Film/MrMagoriumsWonderEmporium'' for entertainment. In an interview, Vince Gilligan stated he'd never seen the movie and chose it simply because it has a goofy-sounding title (and thought it would be even funnier if there were inexplicably two copies).
