Line 7:

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Anyone remember The Hampster Dance? Guess what the original sample was from.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: While Prince John is mostly [[Laughably Evil]], when {{spoiler|he decides to hang Friar Tuck to lure Robin out}}, even Sir Hiss is shocked. And he also refused to spare Robin Hood's life even when Maid Marian begged him not to when he could have just as easily sent him to the dungeons.
** Given that the Church was an independent political entity that ''would'' object to this simply for the affront of a noble executing a priest on his own authority rather than attempting to have him punished via church law, there are reasons other than morality to be shocked by such an order.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Interesting historical context]]: John and Richard's father, Henry II, ordered the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas à Becket, assassinated. Certainly not an excuse, but can possibly be reason why Prince John would even consider it.
