From an earlier thread, “[Bag of Weed](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZusZOSgt3M)” is from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ([Me Ole Bamboo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQgXccbxHbM))

And one that I don’t think was broadcast: [I’ve Got A Little List](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PEV2-Ac0dk&feature=related) was taken from [The Mikado](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_m6EZ1SUk&feature=related).

And from Road To Europe, [So Awfully Different](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvGAxChH6tw) is inspired by the Crosby / Hope road films ([Road To Morocco](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_w3UG6C_Mo) for example) but doesn’t seem to be identical. [Road To Rhode Island](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebBYiVQU4pM&feature=related) is much closer to Road To Morocco.

So many of the others sound familiar but I can never put a finger on what they’re parodizing.
