His version makes it sound like they're just trying to cook dinner (with Wakko throwing in assorted odd ingredients as they name them), and at the end he hops into the scene to ask what they're actually cooking up. Even the "witches" aren't sure, until their brew summons forth Mr. Director, to their great horror. After trapping him back in the cauldron and sending it blasting off, Yakko suggests that they just send out for pizza.

* ''Series/GeneralHospital''. A disastrous Thanksgiving at the Quartermaines has become so standard that everyone knows it expects that they'll be ordering pizza before the night over. The worst example had to be estranged son Jason showing up with a turkey to replace the one that had been destroyed--looking like for once they'll have a traditional dinner--only to have that one get ruined as well when a pair of burglars runs out of the house.
