  • Spoof Aesop: In Crow and Servo's bizarre alternate ending to the movie

 Servo: And the moral is "Never love a pygmy!"

Crow: Because...they're immortal!

Servo: Yeah!

Crow: And they can fly!

Servo: Mm-hm!

Crow: And you can't fly!

 Joel: (singing) The Girl In Lovers' Lane...

Crow: With Jack Elam, not Jack La-Lanne. (Servo: Not La-La-a-ane...)

Joel: And lots of actors, there's no time to name...

Crow: A screenplay by Joe Heims that's pretty lame. (Servo: Pretty lame...)

Servo: The entire crew, feels a sense of shame. (Crow: Shame.) If only they'd had / half a brain / they could attain / a measure of fame / from a film like Shane! / But no. To their disdain, / The Girl In Lov-ers Lane!

Joel: (Makes Rawhide whip crack noise.)
