Film watched: The Final Sacrifice
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:
- The Alcoholic: Referenced:
Crow: "Hm, I wonder if there's beer on the sun." |
Mike (as Rowsdower): D'oh, I shot in between them. I got confused! |
"He's gonna turn into a warwilf!" |
- Canada Eh: The movie itself was set in Canada, but doesn't use any of the stereotypes. The MST3K episode makes numerous jokes that fit this trope exactly, however, culminating in a song about Canada that is nothing but mocking the country using every stereotype imaginable...eh?
- Catch Phrase: "Rowsdower!"
- Celebrity Resemblance: Many of the riffs remark on that Troy's father looks like NFL player Larry Csonka. Also, Rowsdower does look a bit like Randy Bachman of Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
"Oooooh, I hates that rabbit!" |
- Credits Gag: A rather lengthy one as Crow attempts to discuss pitching the movie as a television series and Mike gets deep in character and actually acts like a real live executive...complete with meddling.
- Curse of the Ancients: After Mike catches "Grizzled Old Prospector Syndrome."
- Eighties Hair: Turns out "Hockey Hair" is caused by an airborne virus. Who knew?
- Executive Meddling: Parodied in Crow's pitch for Zap And Troy: The Legendary Journeys.
- Follow the Leader: Servo's Canada song predates "Blame Canada". Take That, Parker and Stone!
- Heroic BSOD: Mike suffers this when he learns Crow and Servo have entered a Muffin-y, Calista Flockhart, Swoosie Kurtz kind of cult, instead of the usual animal sacrifice sort.
- Ho Yay: In Universe, between Troy and Rowsdower.
Rowsdower: *to his car* "Come on baby, don't let me down!" |
- During the skit where Mike gets Grizzled Old Prospector Syndrome, Tom asks Mike if he's been kissing any prospectors. After pondering briefly, Mike denies it, though he apparently did kiss a surly truck farmer.
- ~I'm A Humanitarian~
Troy: Did you know him (Troy's father)? |
- Incredibly Lame Pun: Mike gets cut off preemptively when he tries to make one about people "just dying to get into" a cemetery.
- Memetic Badass: In-universe; Mike and the bots mix open disdain for Rowsdower with turning him into one of these.
- Noodle Incident: How Mike got Grizzled Prospector Syndrome.
- Running Gag: Rowsdower!
- The various geeky extracurricular hobbies attributed to the kid.
"And so it is with a heavy heart that I must resign from Chess Club..." |
- "Seven years later..."
- As mentioned in Celebrity Resemblance, they bring up Larry Csonka too many times to count.
- Pipper's similarities to Yosemite Sam
- Shot in The Ass: As it's very unclear where Troy shoots Satoris in the film's climax, the bots assumed he was shot in the butt. Later extended when Satoris catches fire seemingly because of it, and the bots suggest shooting Mike in the butt to find out if this is a reliable method for setting humans on fire.
- Shout Out to Shakespeare: "A horse! My six-pack for a horse!"
- Spin Off: Zap and Troy: The Legendary Journeys.
- Stealth Pun
Mike (upon learning a character's surname): Oh! He's a Pipper! (beat) Wouldn't you like to be a-- |
Tom: (singing) Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island / And going on to bomb Ontario! / The destruction of Canada and all of its culture, / Is by far my fav-o-rite scenario! |
- That Was Not a Dream: "Wow, I dreamt I was stuck with this chunky backwoods loser named Rowsdower..."
- Thememobile: "Rowsdowermobile, awaaaaay!"
- Title Drop
Servo: "Oh, please just one more sacrifice!" |
- Tom Waits - When Mike Pipper shows up, Servo quips "I'd like to sing something from Bone Machine."
- Unfortunate Names: Referenced in the film.
Crow: He comes from a long line of "Great Anuses". |
- The Virus: Bobo eats a bad can of Canadian bacon and causes hockey hair in everyone. Mike turns out to be immune since he already had it...but this makes him vulnerable to Grizzled Old Prospector Syndrome.
- You Look Familiar: Pearl can't quite identify Servo when he's beamed down by Observer.
