• [Parody] Potato-ised movie titles

    From Your Name@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 6 19:51:25 2022
    Over the last few weeks the potato chip company Proper Crisps have been
    running adverts with potato-ised parody movie titles on the movie guide
    pages of the New Zealand TV Guide. So far we've had ...

    - Spud Wars
    (Star Wars)

    - The Lord of the Spuds: Return of the Fries
    (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)

    - Hunt for the Taterpeople
    (Hunt for teh Wilderpeople)

    - The Spudshank Redemption
    (The Shawshank Redemption)

    - Jurassic Spud
    (Jurassic Park)

    - The Spudfather
    (The Godfather)

    - Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Spud
    (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)

    - Silence of the Mashed Potatoes
    (Silence of the Lambs)


    There wasn't one in the latest issue, but I'm not sure if that was
    because they've stopped or that there wasn't enough room this week
    (being a holiday long weekend, there were perhaps more movies than
    usual).

    We did the same with "snorker" in the eggy group, British slang for
    sausage, perhaps archaic, circa year 2000.

    Original question was, "Snorkers.......Good O" is a line said by whom
    (actor) from which film?" This opened the flood gates.

    "Snow White and the Seven Snorkers."
    "Gone With the Snorker"
    "The Good, the Bad, and the Snorker"
    "The Snorker Of the Baskerviles."
    (Many others)

    "Snorkers.......Good O"?
