From the Cracked parody of the Incredible Hulk TV series:
(Banner is in a car in a blizzard, being driven by Girl of the Week):
Girl: "Oh no! We're skidding out of control!"
Banner: "Women drivers make me so ANGRY! ARGH!"
Hulk: "ARRRRRRGH!" (bursts out of top of car, unclothed
Wonder Woman (observing from the side of the road as the car careens
by): "Big deal. If the bluenoses at the network would let ME bust out
of my DRESS, I'd get the biggest ratings in HISTORY!"
