  When I was a kid, so many parodies and comedies had ladies jumping out of giant cakes, I really though that was going to be a thing when I grew up. It was like the opposite of quicksand.

    Same I was in high school when Under Siege came out. I recall thinking “why dont I know anyone who has done this”?

    Pop out cakes. They were already going out of fashion in the XIXth century when it became even more misogynist with its association with showgirls and strippers. I think the 50s was the last time it was actually done unironically.
