Rat's "Always Double Down" - Vince Vaughn in "Swingers"

The first deer reminded me of Joey on Friends.

The two Birds ("Bird", 'Word") evoke "Surfin' Bird"?

If I am correct - something with wily raccoons, please.
Thanks.

Okay, I will continue to columbo these things.

"That's what she said" from The Office

Some of them sound familiar but I can't place it. The one that's killing me is "Don' Gon' Do it"

larsony July 10 2009, 00:40:56 UTC

Okay, that'll work for The Office.

Fire 2 - would that happen to be from the comic 8-bit Theater?

Cousins in past life... was that from the tv show Charmed?

Double Down - Swingers?

Follow your heart... hehe, I know it's wrong but I was thinking Toucan Sam with "Follow your nose! Follow your nose!" :P

EDIT:
Nine babies - was that the family that oudid Apu. The whole "We're on cloud nine!" and then Apu loses all those sponsorship deals and suddenly the weight of eight kids is crushing him.

Were characters cousins in a past life in Charmed?

Fire 2 is how they'd label magic spells in Final Fantasy games up until the 8th one. So I'll give it to you since 8-Bit is Final Fantasy 1.

Ah gotcha, I didn't think it was going to be a more specific quote that was based off Final Fantasy - so I'm glad I didn't lose by overthinking it ^.^;;;

If you're willing to do a quick sketch, I would love to see an anthro grizzly bear in a suit and tie :P
