Conspiracy

Didn’t know where else to post this just want answers. I was just watching American dad season 4 episode 5 ‘escape from pearl Bailey’ and there was a scene where Steve got revenge on three popular girls and it reminded me of an episode of Malcolm in the middle where Lois gets revenge on three popular girls in the exact same way almost. The same girl in both episodes had her stuffed animals fucked with. Like is this shit based on a movie I don’t know about or what like I feel like I’m going crazy cause I can’t find anything but there’s no way it’s just a coincidence I need to know.
