It's from the Simpsons. The motto under the statue of the town founder is A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.

"I never heard the word embiggen until I moved to Springfield."
"I don’t know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent word."

Later:
"He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance."

I'm glad Ushas got there before me, because I wouldn't have actually known. I got the "click to embiggen" usage, like so many other dodgy expressions, from b3ta.com:D.

I bet that at some point, he must've whacked the War Lord in the face with a handbag by accident.
Heeheeheehee. I want to see that now.

I also love how Two seems to be pointedly ignoring/refusing to make eye contact with the War Chief throughout the picspam.

That scene is great because Two is just so avoidant all the time. Actually, I love how he's pretty avoidant *every* time he's close to the War Chief, and the War Chief is constantly breaching his personal space, looming close behind him or putting his arm around him and purring at him. That and the "OH SHIT, IT'S HIM!" when Two recognises him... yeah, it'd be weirder if he *wasn't* The Evil Ex:P.

War Chief: *looooms over shoulder* :D?
Doctor: *evades* >/

..Oh, lord, I'd forgotten about the War Chief's scary haircut those scenes. Long past time to watch it again, then. *grins* Thanks for sharing!
