btw i am convinced that the horrible histories segment "awful egyptians" is brooklyn house folklore at this point
i'm certain it started with somebody mentioning something about differences in schooling in the different places they all come from, and asking sadie (and possibly sean) if they had to learn all the kings who ruled england in school, and activating this sleeper agent response of the monarch song (imagine this gianmarco soresi short)
and i'm sure cleo, whose special interest are ancient civilizations, has either already heard of horrible histories (and probably read the books as a kid), or immediately binges all of it and absolutely loves it
and like. they all quote things from the awful egyptians sketches on like a daily basis. like it's ingrained in their speech. they quote it at each other
whenever someone misremembers something / does the "one more thing!" / "i forgot that-", there's a joke (based on the baldness cure bit 0:00-1:35) where they say "oh and snake fat" / "i'll get the crocodile fat". sometimes the first person will be like "do you sell wigs?" as an acknowledgement that they got the reference
as a reference to the cat worshipping bit (1:35-2:52), "purr-fect" became a shorthand for death/someone dying. when waltnubis and bast both live in the brooklyn house post-tss and butt heads (cats and dogs :P), waltnubis says at one point something like "this'll be purr-fect for you bast" and alyssa almost chokes on her water. he hands bast a t-shirt that has a mummy cat with the speech bubble "i can haz mummification"
also relating to that same sketch, when they need any random amount of money/ask for the price of something, everybody's go-to response is "3 cloves of garlic. or 1 clove of garlic if you're good at bartering"
when zia transitions, sadie's like "hm i guess your kohl really was. only for men" and expects to be physically assaulted. he only laughs at this. (6:31-7:36)
while the house itself is partially magical, it doesn't cook or clean for them, and so in the early days, the kids still have to learn to cook and often struggle with it. when carter fucks up a meal real bad, felix scrapes it off his tongue all "what did you put in this, cedar oil? i feel like my intestines are dissolving!" (the funeral planner sketch 7:36-10:43) kids have the sickest burns
whenever someone compliments marien's look, there was a period where she exclusively responded with "those pesky flies can't get enough of that sweet sticky stuff, and I AIN'T TALKING HONEY" (10:44-11:45). it annoyed everyone
"noβοΈi am a pharaohβοΈβοΈ" is said at least four times a day (11:45-13:45)
"i love my new wax cone! it's so stylish π
π i'm never taking it off" is also such a meme. usually when putting on a jersey to distinguish between teams in a game of frisbee/basketball / trying on new clothes / receiving a gift (15:09-16:20)
whenever someone comes into a room that's full of people all "eugh it stinks in here" and goes to open the window, there's a chorus of "must be the gazelle dong" "or it could be the walls, they're made of manure" (17:47-21:25)
when the kanes/waltnubis/zia/bast are like "i have something to say to you" to the trainees, there's usually sean who's all "you're killing us all? after everything we've done for you?" (23:00-24:22)
the egyptian abcs song (27:42-30:05) is also such a thing for them. most of them know it by heart. when actually learning how to write in hieroglyphics, they were barely holding back laughter and calling back to it every five seconds
