"What a beautiful night...for a reference."

Lady and the Tramp has had its fair share of homages and parodies, especially since the iconic Spaghetti Kiss is one of the most famous scenes in cinema.


Comic Strips

There's also a scene where Timon and Pumbaa eat a bunch of worms together ala Lady And The Tramp and accidentally reenact the kiss scene. Both are not amused.

  • Hot Shots! Part Deux: Topper has a flashback to his and Ramada's last date, which parodies the "Bella Notte" scene in a way that manages to be both utterly sweet and utterly hilarious. (The "spaghetti kiss" is recreated beat-for-beat: the couple's lips meet while eating the same strand of spaghetti, Ramada turns away shyly...then Topper leans down and noses the last meatball towards her.)
