Film watched: Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:

Annoying Patient: Pearl.
As Himself: Or rather, the Warriors from Hell as themselves.
Author Appeal: MST3k's ripping on RenFests.
Callbacks:
- "Sampo! Sampo!"
- "Lodac, did you back up the toilet again?"
Call Forward: When Deathstalker somehow blows his cover by showing the princess' sister a stick:

Mike (using Vadinho's voice): "Get him men, he kicked Tony!"

Credits Gag: Features singing some of the Safety Dance song.
Getting Crap Past the Radar

Troxartas: RISE!

Servo: Oh, not that kind of rise.

I Heard That As: Troxartas, not "Trucks Artist".

Servo: Can you paint my van?

Mike: It's Troxartas, SUNDAY at the Metrodome!

Mills and Boon Prose: Crow treats Pearl to a meandering, disjointed reading of a trashy romance novel.
Overly Long Gag: Claaaaaaaaaaayyyyytooooonnnnn!!!
Running Gags: Many of them are about how Nicias the wizard looks like he stepped out of The Lord of the Rings book.
Shout-Out: The poisoned milk scene at the end is lifted from Alfred Hitchcock's film. Suspicion
- There are numerous shout-outs to The Lord of the Rings, including the closing sketch where Servo attempts to forge a Ring of Power for Mike. Keep in mind this was several years before the movies came out.
Sick Episode: Pearl is suffering from ailment and making Clayton suffer along with her.
Spell My Name with an "S":

(The opening credits show "John Allen Nelson" in a faux-Old English font)

Mike: John Allen Relson?

Servo: "Nelson", it's "Nelson".

Mike: That's one of the most clearly written "R"s I've ever seen!

(And Deathstalker gets called "Relson" through the rest of the experiment.)

Take That: The host segments really take apart RenFests.

"Potatoes are what we eat!"
