Obscure Reference meme

Good grief, this was hard.

Ten Seven references you expect your nearest and dearest to get:

1. They've gone to plaid! jedi_of_urth
   
2. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem. jedi_of_urth
   
3. - I don't know what you brought it for. You can't shoot elephants in England, you know.
   - And why not?
   - They're out of season.
4. Anything is peaceful from one thousand, three hundred and fifty-three feet. trippypeas
   
5. My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe? jedi_of_urth
   
6. - If Mars were watching, he would not allow such a disgrace.
   - Maybe he was havin' a crap and missed it.ginamak
   
7. There, you see how all your so-called power counts for absolutely nothing? How your entire empire of destruction comes... crashing down. All because of one little... cherry. trippypeas
   

Sorry. Brain has died. Can't think of any more. Oh, and if you get #3, you are made of awesome. Or British. Most likely both.

ETA: #3 is still guessable. I know at least one of the Brits on my flist should get it. I would hope. I'll give you a hint: it's not from a book or a television show.

4. is from Ferris Beuller's day off. and the
7. is from Fifth Element..

BOOYAH!

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Ha! Good job! I was wondering if anyone would get 4. :)

i spent most of my childhood wanting to grow up to be Ferris...i failed..

I know 1 (Spaceballs)& 2 (HHGttG), and 5 sounds so familiar it's driving me crazy that I can't place it.

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

You got 'em.

Think carefully about 5. *hinthint*

[jedi_of_urth]

OhOh, I remember, Hiro of course, right?

Which would actually explain it took a bit, since it was in subtitles. And then I started looking for what you meant by a hint and I actually read the icon which is pretty cool.

Spaceballs ftw! I just watched that movie the other day too. Oh how I love it.

And I *know* I've heard #3. It sounds so familiar!

And really...Ferris Bueller....when I was younger I wanted to be him when I was a teenager. Sadly I turned out more like Cameron. Ah well..

If anyone gets #3, I'll be really surprised. It's actually pretty obscure.

I considered using a Cameron quote, but I didn't want to make it too easy. ;)

Damn, only got #7 and someone already guessed it.

IT'S OKAY GARY OLDMAN, I STILL LOVE YOU!

[ivydoor.livejournal.com]

Yes! He was so awesome in that movie. I had a hard time picking between this quote and the sales pitch he gave for the guns.

Um, hi...

I'm here because, well, in short, I commented on someone's icon and they sent me to your journal... (I'm much liking the "needlessly messianic" one with Jack. :) I was just listening to the radio show the other day.)

Anyway, while I'm here:
#3 is The Goon Show, if the attribution on my friend's sig file (back in the day) was correct. Yes? No? Permaybehaps? Doesn't even count if I haven't heard the show myself? If a tree falls in a forest and I cribbed the answer from the email zeitgeist, do I still get credit for having a stubborn brain?

I'm just happy someone got it. LOL Even if you haven't heard of it.
