Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E19 Invasion of the Neptune Men: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Suffice it to say that the reprehensible nature of ''Invasion of the Neptune Men'' is embodied in the filmmaker's choice to use actual WWII file footage in what is ostensibly a children's film. To glibly summon the darkest shadows of our century because one has run out of models to blow up is to stoop to [[Joel Schumacher|Schumacherian]] levels of banality. Though we as a rule cut only for time, we also cut for violent content, and we very clearly considered aerial bombardment footage of Japan to be of a violent nature. Nuff said. ...can you tell I hated this film?"''|'''Kevin Murphy, voice and puppeteer of Tom Servo'''}}

 

 

=== The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of: ===

 

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Bobo's statue.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Mike and the bots' reaction to the film.

* [[Hypocritical Humour]]: ''"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA--Your costume is ridiculous!"''

* [[Mondegreen]]: The "Roji Panty Complex", although whatever they're trying to say doesn't seem to make much more sence.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: A lot of riffs make references to ''[[Prince of Space]]''.

* [[Running Gag]]: "Where's my record?"

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: You bet.

* [[Soap Opera Disease]]: Servo catches Roji Panty Complex from the movie and is bedridden for one host segment, while Mike has to administer four-packs of female undergarments. Crow then decides he has it too.

* [[Special Guest]]: The Phantom of Krankor from ''[[Prince of Space]]'' shows up in one host segment. The movie is so soul-crushingly bad that Mike and the bots are glad to see him, and indeed, he [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|saves them from finally going insane.]]

* [[Take That]]: Done for laughs with the "Suggestions for Japan" segment:

** Mike reads one of Crow's suggestions:

** Also:

'''Crow''': Good. }}

'''Crow''': "Why not?!" }}

** Later, of all people --
