Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E17 The Horror of Party Beach

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Servo becomes a Ghitu monk and attempts to achieve transcendence through an Ethereal Choir, at least until Mike disconnects the speakers.
Brain Bleach: Crow's reaction after the "manly beach dance" host segment, in which Mike's trunks are so small as to be invisible. "Part of me will never be back. Part of me is gone forever."
Cast Full of Gay. The beach dancers are a little... well, a lot effeminate.

Crow (as dancer, lisping): I am tho Twila Tharp!

Mr. Fanservice: Mike's "Manly Beach Dance" can be this to certain MS Ties.
Extra! Extra! Read All About It!: Servo goes newsboy for one host segment, selling incredibly up-to-date papers with headlines like "Mike Buys Another Paper From Servo," and "Mike Getting Fed Up With Newspaper Gag."
Flashback Cut: Brain Guy has one queued up to explain why they're in Rome. Turns out the flashback was to a few seconds ago, and Flavia's still wondering why the guards haven't seized them yet.
Look Behind You!: "Look, a huge distracting thing!" Partly subverted since Mike doesn't fall for it, but Servo runs away anyway.
- Servo tries again later ("Mike, look behind you! It's a giraffe with the head of Larry Hagman!") and succeeds this time.
Notable Original Music: Sodium!
The Roman Empire: Pearl and her cronies are stuck in Italy during the Classical Era as a result of the trip through a wormhole in the Prince of Space episode.
Sufficiently Advanced Alien: Brain Guy's nigh-omnipotence allows him to try to pass himself and Pearl off as gods. "Behold! From nothing, I produce this... spoon." And then "this... bigger spoon." The locals are only sold when they spot "Apearllo" talking to the "Average-Looking Man God, Golden Spider-Duck, and Squat Crimson Pig."

Servo: (to Mike, chuckling) She called you a crimson pig!... (Beat) ...HEY!

- Mike's more than pleased to be called average-looking, grinning and generally acting like it means he's a Chick Magnet. Hilariously enough, Flavia was played by Mike's real-life wife Bridget Jones.
- Crow, on the other hand, is enraged at being called a "Golden Spider-Duck", even assaulting Cambot and screaming alternative names at Flavia.
Viewer Gender Confusion: During the beach dance. "Hey, why is that girl tople... oh no, that's a... well, is it?"
