Inspector 1: So Lena is Lex Luthor's sister, eh? I'm afraid that makes three strikes against her, Supergirl!

Superman: You're more like Darkseid than ever, Orion.

Films — Live-Action

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy.
Dr. Evil, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!
— Saburo Naotora Ichimonji, Ran

"It's not your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood... the blood of a pirate."

Chuck Barris: Hey, I got an idea. If you aren't so bad... why don't you do it? Why don't you kill The Mole? You got a problem with killing, Jim?
Jim Byrd: I just don't fit the profile.
Chuck Barris: What fucking profile? There is no fucking 'profile'.
Jim Byrd: Okay, there's no profile.
Chuck Barris: There's no profile.
Jim Byrd: Okay. Let's see. Well, you had a twin sister, stillborn, strangled by your umbilical cord. Your first hit, Chuck. Your mother always wanted a daughter. She blamed you for your sister's death. And, so, until your sister Phoebe was born, she raised you as a girl. Oh, and your father the dentist? Not really your father. Your biological father was a man named Edmund James Windsor. A serial killer. A fact your mother didn't know when she had an affair with him in 1930. If you want to look him up, he was also known as the Tarrytown Troll, because he had been described by witnesses as short and ugly. Windsor died in the electrical chair at Ossining in 1939. We believed your self-loathing tendencies coupled with that extra Y chromosome and whatever else you inherited from your father would serve us well. I'm trying to think what more I can tell you, but you have me at a disadvantage here, Barris. I don't have your files in front of me.

Literature

She could hear Fillory calling to her, or if not Fillory then something - somewhere beautiful and distant and sirenlike where she had never been but that was also somehow home. And she knew what side of the family her depressive streak came from. That was her Chatwin inheritance, right there.

Music

"Starfucker just like my Daddy, yes
Sellin' his baby just like my daddy, yes
Gonna strike a deal made him feel
Like a congressman
Runnin' in the family, oh it runs in the family"
Tori Amos, "Professional Widow"

Real Life

H.H.'s memoir is chatty. He tells us how in 1926 his father traced an absconding partner to Havana and with an Army Colt .45 got back his money. "Father's intervention was direct, illegal, and effective." Years later his son's Cuban work proved to be indirect and ineffective; but at least it was every bit as illegal as dad's.
Gore Vidal, "The Art and Arts of E. Howard Hunt"

Yes, they gave their dog a stripper name. Would you expect anything less from these two dildos? Anyways, I guess Justin is still too little to take care of a puppy, so "Karma" went to live with Bieber Sr. in Canada. Because Justin is living proof that Jeremy is really good at raising things...Throwing a dog off a balcony? Even Michael Vick is like '''Errr..."
Michael K., "Justin Bieber Gave One Of His Dogs To His Father, Who Then Threw It Off A Balcony"

Did Paul Bearer ever rape Lita? Did Paul Bearer ever hook up a car battery to Shane Mcmahon's testicles? Did Paul Bearer ever bury The Undertaker alive? No, it wasn’t Paul Bearer who did all those things, but Kane.

Paul only did one of those three things. (twice)

Tucker: Okay little dude, I gotta go now. Tex needs me and Church to back her up.
Junior: Blaarg Chicka Honk-Honk!
Doc: Huh. I guess you have been teaching him some stuff.
Tucker: Teach? You don't teach that. That's just genetic.
