Somehow, idk why. This one is stuck in my head:
undefined
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

tar xzvf
eXtract Ze Vucking File

I have to do this command often at work and I can never remember the letters perfectly. This is actually useful, thanks!

The bomb runs AIX. I'm sorry, you're dead
-
tar zxvf filename.tar.gz file?-
Nope,
tardoesn't handle compression on AIX. So it would be something likegzip -cd filename.tar.gz | tar xvf --
Ugh.

Same, never used a mnemonic for it or anything, just
zxvf
Like it's any other word
-
z=zip (default in most tar), x=eXtract, v=verbose (not needed in most cases), f=target
-
verbose … not needed?
If the words don’t happen how can I trust computer magic?
-
Yeah, how do I know that the PC isn't slacking?

Monitor the room temperature.
