(Obscure) references for kids' literacy?

[Anonymous]

Please contribute to my list: cultural references kids should know for literacy, and that would be fun to learn about.

Example, today's Post refers to "setting the stage for another "perils of Pauline" episode".

Not proverbs, but rather iconic cultural references that I could share one per day with my pre-teen son at breakfast. Here's some more:

"I can't do that, Dave" (uttered in a creepy robot voice) from 2001, A Space Odyssey
"I'm shocked, shocked!" from Casablanca
"[Anything]-gate" from, well, the original. (I recommend against explaining the origin of the term Deep Throat unless you're kind of an edgy parent, in which case, go for it!)
"Accidental jedi" (from Urban Dictionary, "routinely does things that would be awesome if intentional")
"age before beauty/pearls before swine" (joke by Dorothy Parker)

Got some references every kid would like to know?

Can people list where these are from?

Gonna need a bigger boat is from Jaws.

How about "is this real life?" from David after Dentist. Wait, your kids probably told YOU about that.
