    Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming. It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.

      I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: “Under Pressure goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.’ But Ice Ice baby goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.’” That’s a whole new work of art, guys! Like if I copied the Mona Lisa, but gave her like a strand of hair hanging down over her eyes. Artistically and legally distinct!

    I know that Shrek is all about parody of fairy tales and princesses. But I don’t know what story that character came from. It’s much appreciated if someone can give me an explanation. Thank you.

      I don’t recall totally how they’re used in Shrek, but I’m pretty sure it’s from the “transphobic trap” story. When Shrek was made it was perfectly acceptable (maybe even encouraged) to make fun of trans people and to call them traps.

      Sorry for the slur if it offends anyone, but I’m pretty sure that’s what this trope is.
