Kick it up a Notch

To make things more intense, exciting, or interesting.

(Phrase first used by Emril Lagasse while cooking.)

Now refers to a song in the Team Starkid Production Starship.

Emril: Let's kick it up a notch! *adds a bunch of spices*

Pincher: "So here’s the choice, Bug! You can go on leading your meaningless existence Or you can take everything you’ve ever wanted...Well, Bug? Whaddya say?"

Bug: "I....I... I think I’ll kick it up a notch!
I don’t care about the Queen or the hive!"

Pincher: "That’s the spirit! Kick em all straight in the crotch!"

Pumped Up Kicks

A song made by Foster The People named after the luxury footwear. It's known for it's particularly upbeat yet unsettling musical composition/instrumental, and dark lyrics regarding a troubled youth named "Robert" who has fantasies of shooting up his school.

If you hear someone humming this song... particularly if they're white, named Eugene, have a bowl haircut, wear a trench coat/fedora/tie under shirt/etc., sport a neck beard, and/or if they have known association with the brony, weaboo, or furry fandom. It's best if you vacate the premises ASAP.

Ted: "I got my pumped up kicks"

Scott: "Then I saw Eugene in his trench coat, looking at furries on DeviantArt, and humming Pumped Up Kicks reach into his backpack."
