Not all of them were rip-offs, but these are direct rip-offs from Drew Carey's "My dick's so big that...." series of jokes from his book:

... it has it's own DVD collection. And my DVD's DVD collection is still bigger than yours.
... there's still snow on it in the summertime.
... it has an elevator and a lobby.
... it lives next door.
... a homeless family lives underneath it.
... King Kong is going to crawl up it in the next remake.
... it has a retractable dome.
... it has stairs up the center like the Statue of Liberty.
... Stephen Hawking has a theory about it.
... it has a basement.
... it violates seventeen zoning laws.
... its got its own walk-in closet.
... its so huge its got its own zip code.

Probably a few others as well.

And I can't believe that he couldn't spell "Highlander" correctly.

Hylander? Sheesh.
