Atop the Fourth Wall/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance
""As with the films that they riff on, MST3K was economical. Everything, right down to the sets, props and robots are made from household items found at thrift shops.""
 * Doctor Insano is the resident Harmless Villain, doesn't have the same continuity as the other villains, and has gotten less important as the plot's progressed. However, all the major BigBads (Mechakara, Lord Vyce, The Entity, even Linksano if you wanna count him) have come to our world from alternate universes... something that only became possible due to Insano's interference with hypertime, which caused the boundaries between universes to weaken. Insano is not only a Not-So-Harmless Villain but really, indirectly responsible for every terrible thing in the plot to date.
 * "You've seen my bones before" suddenly makes a whole lot more sense
 * "Beneath the seas, beside the flame",
 * "Off the coast where the lost beast came",
 * "To bring the world misery and shame"
 * "A piece of the world is missing"
 * "The path you should never crossed"
 * "The beast exacts a heavy cost"
 * "The number of the beast is lost"
 * "You will know it by its hissing"
 * "The bones of Hell you cannot tame"
 * "Devour your life and all your fame"
 * "That is the price to play its game"
 * "And all while you're reminiscing"
 * Also relating to The Entity:

 * Also relating to The Entity:
 * At first the connection between Silent Hill and  seems tenuous at best but considering   is a glitch himself perhaps Silent Hill is represented in the Entity's universe is.
 * Not to mention that Silent Hill are video game data. It makes sense that  contacts something made of the same structure as it before contacting physical reality.
 * Way back in Linkara's review of "Adamantium Rage", he wins the fight against Insano by using cheat codes. And what can cheat codes get you?
 * Why is Mirror-Universe Pollo Tom Servo? In this universe, Rob Liefeld is legitimately talented, so perhaps their equivalent of Mystery Science Theater 3000 used cheap props. This means that Linkara would use a good puppet to distinguish himself from them.

 * In other words, the robots were ALREADY cheap props.
 * Besides, Rob Liefeld's talent wasn't brought up, just his delays. And since Mirror-Linkara is just nuts, it makes SENSE why he'd praise him.
 * Knowing that the Entity is explains why Linkara's IAAM Punch affected it when weapons didn't.
 * Plus it was a punch. This could also be
 * It also explains why the poem reminded people of something they couldn't place
 * Lord Vyce said he tried to warn other universes about the Entity, but they didn't believe him. Why? Who would believe that
 * At first, the Entity's cry,  was freaking scary, but made little sense to me, I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a threat or not, and how it'd work if it was... then it hit me...
 * Harvey knew what the poem meant. It was also shown he plays Pokemon in the Anita Blake review. He seems to have played it more recently, so of course he would remember
 * Linkara has stated his arcs and his villains are meant to seem like nerdy things he enjoys. Mechakara was Power Rangers and Lord Vyce was Dr. Who. Now, remember what comics both of these arcs ended on?
 * That mysterious "Go back to the source" line makes a lot of sense with the reveal that the entity is
 * Linkara's last tweet before the post of the Entity saga finale was a link to a William Shatner music video. This could actually be seen as a clever bit of foreshadowing to Though, this may just be a coincidence, as the in-universe inspiration for the idea was Linkara remembering the events of the previous review.
 * It might seem weird that Pyramid Head can be . But since we now know that , it makes a bit more sense.
 * The reason the Silent Hill in the comics is so not Silent Hilly, is because it isn't the real Silent Hill, it's the one in Scott Ciencin's comics.
 * The way Linkara defeats The Entity is a major one. First off,
 * It also makes a lot of sense.
 * Alternatively,
 * And the reason why
 * An earlier example:
 * Word of God says
 * A lesser bit of Fridge Brilliance: shortly before the Vyce saga ended, Lewis was chatting via Skype on Lord Kat's stream. The guys on the stream were trying to guess how the ending of the story would play out; one of them joked, "90s Kid will defeat him!" Lewis became quiet for a moment, and then said, "Well...90s Kid plays a part in it." After the video was released, people in the chat assumed that he was just talking about 90s Kid's role in defeating Lord Vyce; now, however...
 * Fridge Funny regarding the viral side of the Entity's attacks - of course the Fourth Wall couldn't protect the viewers. This is ATOP The Fourth Wall.
 * Sort of Fridge Brilliance combined with Fridge Sadness on this one. I always wondered why Lewis never involved Liz in the show more. Linkara's a character who's incredibly prone to badass, heroic speeches, so it always seemed weird to me that he never did like a "THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND, AND YOU WILL NOT HARM HER -- DO YOU HEAR ME!?" thing to any of the villains. It was always very underplayed compared to show's usual over-the-top approach to most things. But as their eventual breakup (and some fans' extremely inappropriate reactions toward her for it) went to show, it was probably a very good idea not to mix business with personal too much.
 * Technically that last part hasn't been confirmed, but it would make the whole thing even more awesome.
 * Speaking of Vyce's Bizzare Alien Biology, him makes a hell of a lot of sense during the Entity's reveal. Lord Vyce

Fridge Horror

 * Knowing what the Entity is, there's a definite possibility that
 * Not only that, but take it in fact that
 * Come to think about it, if the Entity came from Lord Vyce's home dimension, could Vyce
 * For some meta Fridge Horror,
 * If you recall, Linksano said he had fled to our dimension because he saw Lord Vyce coming. That means all of those characters from Spoony's "Party Mania" review are captured, or possibly dead.
 * Linksano hasn't tried to return home, despite the fact that (as far as we know) his brother is still there. Was he afraid of what he might find?
 * The Entity has addressed the viewers several times during the credits.
 * No, AT 4 W takes place in the Channel Awesome universe, I.E. where all of the reviewers are. We live in our universe. The Entity hasn't attacked our universe, just the Channel Awesome universe.
 * The reviewers exist in a universe parallel to ours, complete with copies of ourselves. Therefore, we haven't been taken, but our AU!selves have.
 * There's something even more horrible here that I just thought of. Think about the last time you see Red in Gold and Silver, atop a mountain, training alone, having the strongest pokemon any trainer has (before newer generations came). He's training to be the best in that universe...
 * So Linkara
 * Made worse in that.
 * Then again, when pokemon die, they become a ghost type, with those specific abilities.
 * Then again, keep in mind that since the Entity is   
 * When the Entity is defeated, everyone reappears. Obscuras Lupa mentions how odd it is that she released a video while being trapped. This could imply that everyone captured by the Entity was aware of the outside world, yet could do nothing. In the case of, a year. Or in the case of Vyce's homeworld, years.
 * Listen Closely after Linkara  And you've got some pretty heavy Fridge Horror.
 * Invoked by Linkara in his review of Superman #701 by pointing out that having a child deliver a message from him to the drug dealers he'd just pissed off would get killed.
