They absorb fictive universes (essentially, the race is a sponge for tropes), and become them. Cowboys, spacemen, Sherlock Holmes, The Jungle Book — they cover a lot of ground.

Unfortunately, they end up being too heavy and the vine snaps, causing them to fall to the ground, prompting Kit to ask if that's what happened in the movie. Baloo tries to pass it off by saying it went exactly that way. In the episode "Citizen Khan", Clementine Clevenger attempts to escape a locked room with a Bedsheet Ladder while saying "This always works in the movies." Unfortunately, the knots get undone and she falls with her noting, "So much for the movies!" Luckily, she has a soft landing in a horse trough. Baloo uses this line almost verbatim in "The Road to Macadamia".

His description makes clear heâ€™s talking about â€œThe Masque of Red Deathâ€�, a story by Edgar Allan Poe about The Beautiful Elite trying to distract themselves from a spreading plague by throwing a party, and it ends with the characters all dying horribly at the hands of a monster.

Saw It in a Movie Once / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: "Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"" features Homer trying to stop an animal stampede by yelling "Jumanji". After it fails, Homer wonders if there is anything from movies worth learning. "Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore" has Homer trying the camera trick mentioned in the NCIS example, "citing" the film The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down. And in "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)", he sees someone get what he wants by slapping people in the face with a glove. He instantly adopts this and succeeds — until a "Southern gentleman" accepts his challenge to a duel. He also tries it with Jimmy Carter and has to flee the ex-president. In "The Trouble with Trillions", Homer is being questioned by the tax department about his falsified tax return. When they threaten him with a prison term, he says "No sir, please - I can't go to prison! They pee in a cup and throw it on you! I saw it in a movie!" to which the interrogating agent responds "You won't be seeing any prison movies where you're going - prison!" At the beginning of "The President Wore Pearls", the school has a charity casino night, with Martin Prince saying he got the idea from an episode of Saved by the Bell. When the adults ransack the place after learning they haven't been winning real money, Martin moans he should've seen it coming, as the same outcome occurred on Saved By the Bell.

Saw It in a Movie Once / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: In one of Friz Freleng's cartoons featuring two Mexican cats, the smart cat uses a trick to catch Speedy Gonzales, saying he'd seen it in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. In Frank Tashlin's "The Major Lied at Dawn" (1937), the Major — after suffering a beatdown against an army of jungle animals — pulls out a can of spinach, saying "By jove, if it's good enough for that sailor man, then it's good enough for me."' "The Iceman Ducketh" sees Bugs Bunny trying to evade Daffy Duck, who is chasing him on skis. Bugs comments to the audience, "I saw this in a toothpaste commercial once," before tossing a bucket of water in front of Daffy, which instantly freezes into a wall of ice. Bugs gives himself away to a WW2 Japanese soldier in "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" by eating a carrot. The soldier says he saw Bugs in a "Walner Blothers-Reon Schresinger-Mellie Merodies cartoon picture." "Porky Pig's Feat" climaxes with Porky and Daffy locked in their hotel room for not paying their bill. Porky comments "Boy, if only Bugs Bunny were here," as he and Daffy recount what they saw Bugs do in one of his cartoons.

He grabs a hanger to jimmy the lock, telling Julius, "I saw this in a movie once." When it works on the first try, he says, "Whadda ya know, beginner's luck."

Saw It in a Movie Once / int_bc848d30	comment	SpongeBob SquarePants: After being stranded in the middle of nowhere in "Pizza Delivery", SpongeBob tries to get himself and Squidward back home by using tactics from old pioneers which he says he "saw in a movie once." Most of them worked albeit their progress was constantly hindered by Squidward. When SpongeBob and Patrick believe that they are cornered by a monster at the edge of a cliff in "A SquarePants Family Vacation", Patrick remembers a solution he saw in a movie: jump off the cliff. Mid-falling, Patrick admits to SpongeBob that he doesn't remember the rest of said movie, so they just keep falling until they land on a conveniently bouncy sea anemone. In "Greasy Buffoons", when a hose is backed up, SpongeBob shows Mr. Krabs something he "saw in a movie once". He then sucks on the hose, which causes it to start working. In "Food PBFFT! Truck", SpongeBob sets a trap by covering a hole with leaves. He tells Squidward he saw it in a Junglefish comic.
