The Wings Episode Title Game - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 02-23-2004, 12:05 PM

For this game, list up to 10 episodes and name the phrase that the title is a spoof of. Let's try to get all 172!

1. My Brother's Back- and There's Gonna be Trouble!- My boyfriend's back and there's gonna be trouble! (song)

2. The Faygitive- The Fugitive (TV show and movie)

3. Murder, She Roast- Murder, She Wrote (TV show)

4. The Customer is Usually Right- The customer is always right. (Popular saying, although it's not one that I agree with 100%, although I won't get into that now.)

5. A Decent Proposal- Indecent Proposal (movie)

Krista2882 · 02-23-2004, 01:00 PM

1. Around The World In 80 Years = Around The World In 80 Days (not sure where it came from, but I've heard it before)
2. There Once Was A Girl From Nanucket = There once was a man from Nantucket... (a dirty rhyme. lol)
3. All For One and Two For Helen = All for one, and one for all (The 3 Musketeers slogan)
4. The Puppetmaster = "The Puppetmaster"

(Stephen King movie, right?)
5. It's Not the Thought, It's the Gift = It's not the gift, it's the thought. (saying)
6. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Policewoman Scorned = Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (saying)
7. There's Always Room For Cello = There's always room for Jell-o (slogan on the old Jell-o commercials)

and that's enough for me for now. hehe.

Airport 90 - Airport 77 (a movie)

Plane Nine from Nantucket - Plan 9 from Outer Space (a movie)

Love Means Never Having to Say Geronimo - Love means never having to say you're sorry (saying)

I Ain't Got No Bunny - I Ain't Got No Body (song)

Crate Expectations - Great Expectations (literature)

Take My Life, Please - Take my wife, please (lame stand-up comic joke)

Four Dates That Will Live in Infamy - "A date that will live in infamy," (famous Presidential quote re: the bombing of Pearl Harbor)

I could do more, but I'll give somebody else a chance.

What about double-meaning titles - like "All in the Family" ??

Love,

Wing<><

Black Eye affair...... Black Tie Affair

If It's not one thing it's your mother..... If It's not one thing it's another

Oh Give me a Home where the Mather's dont roam.... Oh give me a home where the Buffalo roam

Gone, but not Faygotten.... Gone but not forgotten

A Decent Proposal...... Indecent Proposal

that's five for me, next?

txplates · 02-23-2004, 04:26 PM

B.S. I Love You......... P.S. I love you

phoebe7165 · 02-23-2004, 04:35 PM

A Little Nightmare Music--A Little Night Music, a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(I believe)

I Ain't Got No Bunny--I Ain't Got Nobody, a line from the song "Just a Gigilo

The Bogey Men--the boogie man

Divorce, American Style--Love, American Style, a TV show from the 70's

If Elected, I will Not Live--I think it's "If Elected, I Will Not Serve". I think a politician actually said that.

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places--not a play on words but it's a song from Mickey Gilley(again, I think!!), and I think it's on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack

Planes, Trains & Visiting Cranes--I guess it's from the very funny John Hughes movie,"Planes, Trains & Automobiles"

Das Plane--there's a German movie called Das Boot

Roy Crazy--boy crazy

Try to remember the night he dismembered--there's a song that goes "Try to remember the time of December(or September) something like that.

Boy, I'm doing really bad here!

phoebe7165 · 02-23-2004, 04:36 PM

Sorry, Wingshock, didn't realize you already put "I Ain't Got No Bunny"!

Adamantium · 02-23-2004, 05:15 PM

Stop in the Name of Love - Name of a Song

When a Man Loves a Donut - When a Man Loves a Woman (Song)

Honey, We Broke the Kid - From the series of movies "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid", "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves".

'Twas the Heist Before Christmas - 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Something famous, I'm sure)

One Flew over the Cooper's Nest - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Movie)

Fay There Georgy Girl - Song "Hey There, Georgie Girl"

phoebe7165 · 02-23-2004, 09:08 PM

I always did like the way the writers came up with the titles for the episodes, some are a play on words, some just have to do with pop culture:

examples:

House of Blues
Raging Bull(movie)
Escape from New York(movie)
Heartache Tonight(song)
Porno for Pyros(musical group)
Lifeboat(movie)
Come Fly with Me(song)
Hey, Nineteen(song)

and 2 references to Charles Dickens--A Tale of Two Sister Cities & Olive or Twist

I could come up with so much more, but like Wingshock said, I'll give someone else a chance, too.

ha! I didn't know that! That title makes so much more sense for that episode now!

Krista2882 · 02-24-2004, 12:08 AM

Mathers Of The Heart = Matters of the heart
Boys Will Be Girls = "Boys will be boys" (a saying)
Twisted Sister = Twisted Sister (a rock band)
Fools Russian = "fools rush in"
Burnin' Down the House = "Burnin' Down The House" (song by the Talking Heads)
Death Becomes Him = "Death Becomes Her" (i think it was a movie?)

txplates · 03-01-2004, 05:20 PM

I was flipping stations this weekend when I came across an old movie title "Divorce, Italian Style" so this could be the spoof for both the "Marriage, Italian Style" and "Divorce, American Style" episodes
