Line 2: Film watched: ''[[Soultaker]]'' {{quote\| '''Servo:''' So your soul is subject to gravity? I have so many questions! Can souls get toe fungus? Can I still have butter if I'm a soul? Okay, can souls pit out their T-shirts? Does Retsyn work on souls? Help me!}} === The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' presentation has examples of: === Line 8: * [[Actor Allusion]]: The riffers recognize Joe Estevez from ''[[Werewolf (film)\|Werewolf]]'', but it only gets referenced in a few jokes. "Yetiglanchi!" * [[Badass Beard]]: Joel has grown a snazzy little goatee since returning to Earth. * [[Darker and Edgier]]: The bots' "alternate ending." * [[Fandom Nod]]: After hearing about how well Joel's life has gone since he escaped, Mike gets upset and starts asking questions like "What's he have that I don't?" The 'Bots advise Mike not to compare the two, saying it isn't healthy, in a nod to the massive Joel vs. Mike [[Fan Dumb]] that dominated online discussions of the series in the Internet's infancy. * [[Happily Ever After]]: Deconstructed to a ludicrous extent by Servo and Crow during the credits. {{quote\| '''Mike:''' So, there’s no middle ground with you? It’s either straining grain alcohol through toast in back alleys or a happy little world of rodents in feety pajamas?}} * [[Jerkass]]: Joel actually kind of comes off as one in his cameo. Perhaps it's just his laid-back personality contrasting with both Mike and the bots' more extroverted nature, but he really acts like he couldn't care less about what used to be his two best friends, and when asked if he'd take them back to Earth in the ship he used to get up there, he basically just says "No, I don't want to." * [[Johnny Cash]]: Referenced quite a bit, due to the Soultaker's outfit. * [[Missing the Good Stuff]]: Crow gets something in his eye and misses the footage of the heroine taking off her clothes. Mike and Tom intentionally invoke this trope by claiming that what happened was a lot hotter than what was actually depicted on-screen. Line 17 ⟶ 18: * [[Mythology Gag]] * [[Nuns Are Funny]] * [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] when Joel reacts to Crow's new voice, then approves, stating that proper maintenance means "changing your bowling pin" every so often. * [[Running Gag]]: Rocking, as it relates to Zach's friend Brad. Mike and the 'bots get a lot of mileage out of Vivian Schilling's resemblance to Tonya Harding. Line 23 ⟶ 24: As Joe Estevez tries to convince Natalie to come with him, Crow asks, "Aren't you due on the set of ''[[Werewolf (film)\|Werewolf]]''?" * [[Special Guest]]/[[The Bus Came Back]]: Joel Robinson and TV's Frank make guest appearances; TV's Frank is stuck with being a Soultaker, while Joel returns to fix various problems aboard the Satellite of Love. * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Joel - once a humble janitor, now [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?\|manager of his own Hot Fish Shop! In]] '''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?\|Osseo!]]''' ** Made funnier if one knew that the Hot Fish Shop franchise had closed long before the episode aired. * [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: Gypsy, being hooked up to the malfunctioning satellite, rapidly develops something of an attitude problem. * [[What Could Have Been]]: As great as it is to see Joel back on the SOL, not having him join Mike and the 'Bots in the theater for some riffing is a major blown opportunity. Joel explained that he wasn't able to help write any of the riffing, and didn't want to do any scenes that were completely scripted for him. * [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]: Mike claims to have fixed the ship, and asks the question. "How about '''everything??'''" Line 32 ⟶ 33: {{reflist}} [[Category:Recap]] ~~[[Category:Mystery Science Theater 3000]]~~ [[Category:Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap]] [[Category:{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
