Line 46:
* Count Rugen's assistant [[Evil Albino|the Albino]] in ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''.
* The 2008 movie ''[[Igor]]'' not only has every [[Mad Scientist]] have their own Igor...but one Igor (played by John Cusack) decides to become a [[Mad Scientist]] himself and win the Evil Science Fair.
* Also parodied in ''[[Return of the Killer Tomatoes]]'', sequel to ''[[Attack of the Killer Tomatoes]]''. Dr. Putrid T. Gangrene the [[Mad Scientist]] (portrayed most lovingly by John Astin) is annoyed by the mere presence of his assistant Igor, who is a blond, buff, and tanned surfer-dude who wants to be a TV News Anchor.
{{quote|'''Dr. Gangrene''': It's insulting for a misanthrope of my stature to have an assistant as good-looking as you!
'''Igor''': Sorry, Doc. Maybe if I walked with a hunch? }}
Line 90:
* ''[[Gilligan's Island|Gilligans Island]]'' did two episodes with mad scientist Boris Balinkoff; Both times he had an assistant named Igor, the first time played by a human, the second by a monkey. (Considering the things Balinkoff got up to, it's even possible they were the same character..)
* Both Jesse and Gale act as Igors to "Heisenberg" on ''[[Breaking Bad]]''.
* Condo to [[Mad Scientist]] Dr Solon in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S13
Line 117:
== Videogames ==
* In the game ''[[Psychonauts]]'', Sheegor is a [[Distaff Counterpart|female Igor]] [[Reluctant Mad Scientist|forced to work]] for [[Depraved Dentist|Dr. Loboto]] to save her captured pet turtle Mr. Pokeylope. She switches over to your side when you retrieve him; she's scary at first, but actually sort of a [[The Woobie|Woobie]].
* The game ''[[Brain Dead 13]]'' has Fritz (most likely named as a [[Shout-Out]] to Universal's ''Frankenstein''), an imp with hooks for both hands who pursues the protagonist throughout the game.
* Dr. N. Gin in the newer ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' games. Actually, he was an Igor in the earlier games too. But one with a [[Humongous Mecha]]. In the first game, N. Brio was ''almost'' this, but eventually became a self-reliant [[Mad Scientist]] himself.
Line 130:
* Another webcomic treatment: In the current ''[[Girl Genius]]'' storyline, Agatha finally makes it to her ancestral keep, only to find {{spoiler|the entire TOWN surrounding it is populated with [[The Igor|Igors]] subconsciously pining for their masters the Heterodynes... and woe betide pretenders that hang around instead of getting eaten by the Castle}}.
** This is a thing with Sparks in general. When in the madness place, they tend to drag others along in their fervor, with those who are exposed long enough becoming highly conditioned to serve Sparks (not exclusive to their original master).
*** One charachter suggest this is an evolved survival trait.
** And von Zinzer, Agatha's follower whose reluctance to fall into "minion" routine, while useful in itself, [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080324 produces] hilarious [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101203 scenes].
* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' has [[Significant Anagram|Giro]] as assistant to a [[Mad Scientist]] type wizard who makes [[Frankenstein's Monster]]-style flesh golems [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0575.html here]. Giro isn't even a real hunchback; he wore a fake hump to get the job.
