Starship (theatre): Difference between revisions

 

 

''[[The Federation|I wanna have the things they've got]]''<br />

''[[Humanity Is Superior|But there's just one little thing they are]]''<br />

''[[Big Creepy Crawlies|That I'm not...]]'' }}

* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: Referenced by February.

* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Bug and February.}}

** During the end credits, the Special Thanks ends with "...and those mysterious Poopy Bottom Boys"

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Resident [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] Jim Povelo gets much more lines in this play as the Overqueen.

* [[The Cameo]]: Many of the [[Team Starkid]] regulars show up in bit roles during the pre-recorded segments. Tyler Brunsman, Brian Rosenthal, Britney Coleman, Arielle Goldman, Nicholas Joseph Strauss-Matathia, Devin Lytle <ref>[[Creator in Joke|As a]] [[Southern Belle]]!</ref> and Lily Marks all cameo as Starship Rangers in the opening ad, Richard Campbell is a blue-headed alien, and A.J. Holmes is the captain of the crashed starship.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Up for [[Metal Gear|Snake]].

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "My name's Junior, maybe ya heard of me."

** And of course "We're here to get the job done!"

* [[The Family That Slays Together]]: {{spoiler|Junior is at least the third generation of villain in his family.}}

** The Mosquito Brothers certainly count as well.

** Lauren Lopez in a tank top counts too.

** Joey Richter in a deep V-neck.

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Up.

* [[The Federation]]: [[Fun With Acronyms|The Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration]] is this, with shades of [[The Empire]].

** [[The Hero]]: Up

** [[The Lancer]]: Taz

** [[The Chick]]: Tootsie Noodles and February

** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Megagirl, Bug

* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: [[Glee|The Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration.]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: February seems very assertive in her claim she has ''no gag reflex''.

* [[God Is Dead]]: Yeah, that happened a while ago.

{{quote| '''Junior''': Thank Dead God I caught you!}}

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Taz says a lot of Spanish words. [[Bilingual Bonus|Many of which make no sense in context.]]

** Kinda going out on a limb here, but considering [[Team Starkid]]'s love of [[Marvel Comics]], "Feliz Navidad!" could be a [[Shout Out]] to Luke Cage's famous "Sweet Christmas!"

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Up''': Bug was right! I just needed to learn to kill with my heart!}}}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Up (has his blood sucked out by the Mosquito Brothers), Krayonder, Bug (has himself and Pincer [[Thrown Out the Airlock]] by February to stop Pincer from killing the other Starship Rangers-sacrificing his human body in the process), Bugette (takes a bullet for Bug after Junior tries to shoot him). The first three get better (for example, Bug's mind goes back to his real body, similar to what happens in James Cameron's Avatar when Spellman's Avatar is killed in the final battle of the movie) [[Tear Jerker|but poor Bugette doesn't.]]}}

** Most of the rest of the cast as well, considering this is a Starkid show and most of them were in [[A Very Potter Musical]]/[[A Very Potter Sequel|Sequel]] and [[Me and My Dick]]

* [[Hugh Mann]]: While Bug actually is in a human body, he frequently forgets it in casual conversation, leading to lines like "you humans." No one notices.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: "No, that probably wouldn't work. It sounds stupid, and if I say it you'll think I'm stupid and then I'll be embarrassed."

** The reply to above statement as well: "You don't have to be embarrassed in front of me, we're friends."

* [[Just Friends]]: Hinted at, Commander Up says that he likes {{spoiler|Taz}}, but aside from almost {{spoiler|losing his life to save hers}}, which it's probable he would do for any of the crew, there isn't any actual evidence. Her reaction to this could be construed as evidence that the feeling's mutual.

* [[Large Ham]]: Damn near ''everyone''.

* [[Magic Countdown]]: The dropdown countdown takes ten real minutes to get from three story minutes to one second... then it backs up a bit to twenty seconds, before going down to ''negative numbers''.

* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|Commander Up}}, especially when {{spoiler|saving Taz from the Mosquito Brothers.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Every person born on Farm World, including Tootsie, names themselves after what they do and what they love. {{spoiler|If either of those change, they even change their name.}}

* [[Memetic Badass]]: Up in-universe, before his injury.

{{spoiler|'''Junior'''}}:...Lucky for me, God is ''dead''.<br />

'''Bug/Joey''': [[Oh Crap]]. }}

* [[Popular Saying But]]:

{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Junior}}''': We have a saying where I come from too... God save the Queen.<br />

''' {{spoiler|Junior}}''': Lucky for me, [[God Is Dead]]. }}

* [[Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|It stops Megagirl from killing all the Rangers.}}

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Joey Richter has them.

** Up thinks Tootsie Noodles has these when asking him to save Mega Girl.

** [[Starcraft II|6 Pool Zergling Rush]]

** Jr calls Megagirl a [[Battlestar Galactica|toaster]].

** "You better un-fudge yourself, or Up will unscrew your head and drop the wishing pennies down your throat" is a family-friendly paraphrase of dialogue from [[Full Metal Jacket]].

** Dr. Spaceclaw is [[Inspector Gadget|Dr. Claw]] [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]]

** Junior is trying to get [[Spaceballs (Film)|one million spacebucks]].

** "[[Star Trek|Boldly go where no man ]] -Hey!- woman -Bark woof!- or [[Cowboy Bebop|data-dog]] has gone before. Sorry [[Doctor Who (TV)|K-90x! ]]” is similar to the "[...] every man -gasp!- woman -gasp!- or child -gasp!- [...]" Voldemort quote in [[A Very Potter Musical|AVPM]]

** "The needs of the many bugs outweigh the needs of the few bugs. Or the one bug." comes from ''[[Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan]]'', except the line didn't include the word "bugs" when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa6c3OTr6yA Spock said it].

** One mammal says "Pika Pika" and guess what it looks like... {{spoiler|a Pikachu, duh!}}

* [[Triumphant Reprise]]: of {{spoiler|"I Wanna Be", after Bug becomes human.}}

* [[Villain Song]]: "Kick It Up A Notch" and its reprise.

* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: Played with.

{{quote| '''Junior''': Yeah, he's about to have an accident with his head and my zapper. Heheheheheh....AND THEN I'LL SHOOT HIM!!}}
