Did you ever see that Twilight Zone where the guy signed a contract and they cut out his tongue and put it in a jar and it wouldn't die, it just grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues? (Wayne's World; writing credit: Mike Myers, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner. Based on the sketch from Saturday Night Live.)

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone! And all the people are pigs! (Will & Grace; writing credit: Evan Weinstein)
