Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E18 High School Big Shot
Film watched: High School Big Shot with the short Out Of This World
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:
- Call Back: Servo references the short at the beginning when he ponders where the bread display in a general store is.
- Ear Worm / With Lyrics: "He's a high school... big shot! He's a big shot... in high school..."
- Orchestral Bombing: "Big Shot! Big Shot! BIG SHOT! BIG SHOT!!"
- Gentleman Thief: T. Hewett Edward Crow. He still can't get past the lock on Gypsy's diary.
- Overly Long Gag: Tom Servo repeatedly singing "Don't Pay the Ferryman", which he pays for dearly.
- Which is a Crowning Moment of Funny as well.
- Sophisticated As Hell: The "Vince analyzes Othello" riff.
- Spoof Aesop: As "The End" shows on screen:
Crow: This is the P.T.A. reminding you to always do your homework! |
