That first one reminds me of a part of HHGTTG where I think Ford starts counting in front of a computer to intimidate it because its like walking up to a human and chanting "blood, blood, blood".
For those as confused as I: HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

How I Hit your Grandma Today, Thank God
To be pedantic, Ford's threat is to "rearrange [the computer's] memory banks with an axe"
