One word media

[Firox]

The main one that comes to mind is the various games in the 'Grand Theft Auto' series, every time your character gets arrested, it says 'Busted' 

word - Staircase

[Wuff-Wuff]

Jacobs Ladder (the film, not the plant, though theyre really pretty) not to spoil anything, but at the end he goes up a pair of staircases and is reunited with his child.

Word: Toaster

[Ves]

The game I Am Bread - a silly game where you, as a piece of bread, have to find your way to a toaster

Word: shout

[Firox]

Hopefully it counts, the video game series called "Guitar Hero' where you use a button controller that looks like a guitar and play rock songs.
Shout since many times while playing can't resist and actually sing out loud the song lyrics.
Many times a family member had to come and tell me to quiet down. 


word - Mirror

[Wuff-Wuff]

Oh! Shrek, where the Mirror introduces the single princesses 

Word: Bird

[Firox]

Instantly the first thing that comes to mind is that song from the 60s, called "Surfing Bird" by the Trashmen.
You know "Bird, bird, bird, bird is the word, don't you know about the word? everybody knows that the bird is the word."

word - Nachos

[Ves]

Looney Tunes cartoons! I think nachos show up a few times 

Word: sewer

[Firox]

The episode called "Beaverly Buttbillies" from my favorite cartoon, 'Beavis and Butthead', after the two stupid boys break their sewer  pipe, two professionals have to go and repair the pipes by going into the sewer to see where the damage is at.

word - Newspaper

[Ves]

Tom and Jerry - I’m sure there’s a scene of Tom leaking his eyes out of 2 holes cut into a newspaper hehe

Word: cube

[Firox]

The movie "Pixels' where the enemy aliens are made of many cubes.

word - Light

[Wuff-Wuff]

Hmmh most likely Dark Souls, where in some cases you walk and fight through  long stretches of darkness, making the moment you see light again much more potent and hopeful.

Word: sleep

[Firox]

First thing that comes to mind is the Horror series of Nightmare On Elm Street where if  you fall asleep, Freddy Kruger will take your live away. 
will have to say some scenes are scary.

word - Dolls

[Ves]

Following the horror theme: that one horror movie Annabelle!

Word: porridge (/oatmeal)

First thing is the children's story of 'Goldilocks and the Three bears'
