X Called; They Want Their Y Back	comment	A common put-down about how someone ran headfirst into Fashion Dissonance (or something related). Often it's something that is no longer fashionable, or that famously works for someone, but almost no one else. "X" is frequently a time period, but it can be any person, place, or thing. "Y" is typically an unfashionable choice of attire, but also can be just about any object, statement, abstract concept, etc. A similar reformulation is, "Does X know you raided their wardrobe?" Runs headfirst into Totally Radical nowadays. A common variation is to replace "They want their (word) back" with "They said you can keep the (word)" or "Even they don't want (word) back". Compare If I Wanted X, I Would Y; Better by a Different Name. Not to be confused with We Want Our Jerk Back!. For other tropes that use this phrase in their name, see Mexico Called; They Want Texas Back and Russia Called; They Want Alaska Back.

X Called; They Want Their Y Back / int_7884ec15	comment	The Seinfeld episode "The Comeback" has this joke as a plot point: as George Costanza is stuffing his face with shrimp cocktail at a board meeting, a coworker tells him "Hey, George! The ocean called; they're running out of shrimp." note Even if he weren't eating all that shrimp, the insult still would've worked as a statement regarding George's height. It's not until long after the encounter that George comes up with his own response: "Yeah, well, the jerk store called; they're running out of you!" None of George's friends are impressed with the comeback ("There are no jerk stores!") and give him some other insults of the same nature he could use instead (i.e. "The zoo called; they want you back by 6.") George instead saves his comeback up all episode, flying all the way out to Akron, Ohio where the coworker had since moved, finding out where the guy works, and even going so far as to recreate the original scenario where the first putdown had been used so that he could spring it. He wasn't prepared for a comeback to his comeback. "What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller." A flummoxed George responds by saying he had sex with the other guy's wife (which was Kramer's suggested retaliation), only to find out that his wife is in a coma. After George is back in New York, he thinks of another comeback on the drive home from the airport and turns the car around again.

The whole plot of the episode "Prank Callers" was that Mordecai and Rigby, the lead characters, have cell phones from the 1980s. When they get a call that says, "The '80s called, they want their cell phones back!", since the two were holding the phone, they went back to the '80s. This was used at the end of the episode, where the two call their boss and (since they now know it's possible,) send the recliner he's sitting in back to the 1970s.
