"Respect the cruller. And tame the donut!"

Xander was making the reference to the line in Magnolia, and was making the joke, as a cruller, because of it's shape, can look phallic, and the donut was the other half of that reference (to the female)
 
Oh.. Oh. I always figured that it was just a quote from some movie, but I never really bothered to try and figure out what it meant. (sw) And wow, that is actually pretty offensive. Hm.
 
A cruller is a stick shaped donut. So it fits the homage being semi-phallic in nature.

A picture of a cruller and some donuts:

Thanks for that, CHz. It was all very image-lacky in my mind until you posted that pic. 'preciate ya fleshing that one out for me. D:

...Aaaand, that thing about all the songs being parodies... IS IT TRUE?
 
I'm reminded of a Spander icon with a spike inside a dount (boy).

MinwaraYana agrees: Aww, I'd love to see it. 😀
Joan the Vampire Slayer agrees: Post it here!


Oops! Sorry I didn't post it sooner 🙁

Here it is 🙂

I have never seen Magnolia & I had never heard that quote before, but the first time I heard the Xander version in OWMF, I knew exactly what he meant (metaphorically, I never found it that funny, I thought it was just Xander being a numpty). On a (sort of) interesting side note, Crullers are called Yum-Yums here in Scotland, I had one this morning 🙂

lol, what would Freud say? ;P
Can someone explain to me about OMWF being a parody that other people were talking about earlier in this thread?
