The Hugh Hefner of hammock hangers

"Give me a plaid smoking jacket and some fuzzy slippers, ...THIS IS THE GOOD LIFE. I feel like the Hugh Hefner of hammock hangers. This is the cadillac, of hammock shelters. In all the photos of this review I am using a large model all titanium collapsible woodstove made by Titanium Goat."

The Mariah Carey of the red panda world

"The zoo hopes Mae Lin becomes pregnant, but the pair haven't always been cozy: Zoo animal supervisor Dominick Dorsa said, 'Mae Lin's the boss. She let him know that she's going to run the situation... She's a diva. She's the Mariah Carey of the red panda world. She knows she's got it, and she knows everybody wants it.'"

The Bruce Campbell of B-level porn

"STEVE ROBLES: How about Evan Stone? Can we just narrow it down to Evan Stone?
VB: Thank you very much.
SR: I called him the Bruce Campbell of B-level porn.
VB: He's not even that good. I would do Bruce Campbell. Evan Stone is like the Chippendales dancer that got lost. Overly waxed. Lantern jaw. He's the kind of guy where girls like me look and say, "Where are all the hot guys in porn?"
SR: They're in gay porn."

The Tony Soprano of the mutant world

"I have never seen Professor X look so small and insignificant as he did in that short scene. It was such a bizarre scene for a character that I have always found to be the patriarch for the X-Men family who calls all of the shots. Professor X was the Tony Soprano of the mutant world. Professor X has played the role of the puppet master for so long that it is strange to see him stripped of his control over the X-Men."

The Elmer Fudd of chocolate rabbit look-alikes

"Mr. Lange is the Elmer Fudd of chocolate rabbit look-alikes. He has represented Lindt for some two decades. He learned the trade from a senior partner who brought intellectual-property cases for Lindt back in the early 1980s."

The Kermit the Frog of Memphis wrestling

"Just a really weird thing that works so well. Lance Russell makes the match for me. He really does. Some guy said on the DVDR boards that Lance was always sort of the Kermit the Frog of Memphis wrestling. Things would be going fine if it weren't for all those crazy muppets around him. And really, I couldn't think of anything better that would describe Memphis TV and wrestling in general."

The George Costanza of Lost theorizers

"J, you mentioned above that Annie might still be around, so I wanted to remind you that Annie was one of Kate's aliases. Some viewers have suggested that they are the same person based on the name, freckles, and both being left-handed. I think it's hilarious myself, but then I'm like the George Costanza of Lost theorizers."

The Ted Bundy of the evil doll kingdom

"If that charmer Chucky could be called the Ted Bundy of the evil doll kingdom, then this painted villain has to be John Wayne Gacy. The setup for the possession of the hideous clown doll is a brilliant piece of contextual horror constructed around the classic fears so many children have in the middle of the night. Flashes of lightning through a night time window, things bumping around in the darkness, things disappearing where they shouldn’t, fears of what might be lurking underneath the bed; it’s all great scary stuff that most of us with a pulse can readily identify with."

The Jack Tripper of the frog world

"And finally, the Jack Tripper of the frog world becomes part of Three's Company-style mistaken identity the hard way. As one veternarian put it, 'You shouldn't be kicking toads to death anyway, it's far better to catch them up and pop them in the freezer.' Good advice Doc."

The Thelma and Louise of shagging men on the Internet and driving backwards up a motorway blasted on drugs

"There was a time when Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were inseparable. On their TV show The Simple Life Paris and Nicole would bimble about America failing to do tasks that even a lobotomised stoat would find a little on the easy side. It's not an overstatement to say that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were the Thelma And Louise of shagging men on the internet and driving backwards up a motorway blasted on drugs respectively."

The Strawberry Shortcake of demons

"'... how on earth... relatively speaking of course, do you manage to seduce enough people to be in the top ten incubi? You're like... the Strawberry Shortcake of demons,' Shige grouses. Still, he has to admit that he's a little intrigued by the idea of a bet, his natural competitive nature aroused."

The Rosa Parks of the inanimate world

"So can we stop blaming this poor descending prop wall? Hasn't it suffered enough being first linked to the Tony Awards, and now to Bret Michaels? As far as we're concerned, that wall was just minding its own business and simply refused to make way for a prancing faded hair metal star. That wall, in so many words, is the Rosa Parks of the inanimate world."

The Beavis and Butthead of the seventeenth century

"I would love to see this painting up close. What were these women laughing about? Wouldn't you like to ask them? I have a perfect spot in my house for these ladies. Having them there might just help me to lighten up a little. I doubt that there is anything these women couldn't laugh at. They strike me as being a little like the Beavis and Butthead of the seventeenth century...except with a bit more class."

The Tori Spelling of shoe brands

"Tori Spelling and her son are shilling for Skechers, which I find fitting. I mean, Skechers is sort of the Tori Spelling of shoe brands, and if you don't believe me I'm here to remind you the company was founded by the same guy who brought the world L.A. Gear."

The Tom Cruise of chickens

"AMI! Omword! Once I crawled out from under my rock, I realized that YOU are THE Jami that is behind these chickens! Oh my goodness! Does that talent of yours ever end? They are so adorable, and I love how you have showcased them here. This one is sooo funny, he’s like the Tom Cruise of chickens. ;)I love this and even moreso now that I know they’re made by you. Thank you for the freebies, I will be sure to use them soon…"

The Karen Carpenter of the vampire world

"That’s bad enough. The fact that Bella, with no ethical qualms whatsoever, wants to be a vampire herself is worse. Bella herself wants to be a killer. (This is fairly ridiculous, since the heroine literally faints at the sight of blood in biology class. Apparently, she’d wind up being the Karen Carpenter of the vampire world.) One fundamental difference, though, between Bella and a serial killer like Bundy or Dahmer or a fictional one like Dexter, is that serial killers are largely born that way. Bella, though, has a choice."
