Igor: Difference between revisions

[[File:igorposter.jpg|frame]]

 

Igor's quest for glory is hampered by [[Fake Ultimate Hero|Dr. Schadenfreude]], who has won the Evil Science Fair every year by stealing the winning invention from an actual [[Mad Scientist]], and who sees Eva as his ticket not just to winning, but to taking control of the kingdom from King Malbert, who has a secret or two of his own. On top of that, Igor starts to develop feelings for Eva and begins to question the way the kingdom is run. Is being evil really their only option? And can a giant actress in a red dress really win the Evil Science Fair with showtunes?

{{tropelist}}

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]:

'''Igor''': Uh, yeah. }}

* [[Animal Motifs]]: A number of characters have this: Jaclyn - snake, Dr. Glickenstein - crocodile, King Malbert - armadillo/cockroach

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: King Malber grabs Igor on both legs.

* [[Blind Mistake]]: Used a couple of times with the blind orphans.

** [[Crosses the Line Twice|And right after that, the blind orphans perform a musical number, and one walks the wrong way.]]

* [[Bookcase Passage]]: found using [[Shaggy Search Technique]].

* [[Brainwash]]: An actual business in Malaria, the Brain Wash, where Igor takes Eva to turn her evil, and Brain gets a literal washing.

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Evil scientists compete at the science fair. Schadenfreude also wants to overthrow Malbert.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]

** {{spoiler|Dr. Schadenfreude is likely just as surprised as everyone else when he learns of King Malbert's lies.}}

* [[Evil Tastes Good]]: Subverted. Dr. Glickenstein made an evil lasagna that tasted good, but it didn't kill anyone, thus making it not truly evil.

** That's, uh...[[Truth in Television|actually a thing real animals will do when trapped]]. They figure better stumpy than dead.

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Averted. Scamper gets a cannonball shot through his head on screen. [[Refuge in Audacity|From a Mother's Day Card.]]

* [[Homage]]: The first appearance of Eva is from behind, like in the original Frankenstein movie.

** The blind orphans merge two characters that the monster met.

** The Brain Wash has a reference to the movie ''[[The Fly]]'', with the manager ([[Punny Name|Buzz Offman]]) and attendant ([[Jeff Goldblum|Jeff]]).

** Eva standing at the top of the stairs, all dressed up, evokes ''[[Sunset Boulevard]]'', complete with "I'm ready for my cloesup."

** Going back to ''Frankenstein'', Mary Shelley referred to the monster being named "Adam". This one is named [[The Bible|Eva]].

* [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]]: Malaria, Latin for [[Meaningful Name|"bad air"]]. Also, you know, a horrible, horrible disease.

* [[Incredibly Lame Fun]]:

Brain proceeds to play with the ribbon some more, laughing. }}

* [[I Would Say If I Could Say]]

* [[Slippery Skid]]

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: After discovering Schadenfreude's true intentions, Igor rushes back home, intending to tell Eva the truth about the Evil Science Fair. Not seeing her when he comes in, he calls for her...and she appears at the top of the staircase, decked out in a fancy gown and practically sparkling. Igor is understandably floored.

* [[Shout-Out]]: to ''[[Young Frankenstein]]''. Dr Schadenfreude plays a few bars of ''Putting on the Ritz'' in the piano medley in his opening scene.

* [[The Starscream]]: Dr. Schadenfreude.

** He could also be considered a [[Big Bad]].

* [[Talk Show]]: "Cristall Clear, with [[Invisibility|Carl Cristall]]."
