History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E10TheGiantSpiderInvasion

-->I'd like to say a few words. Uh, this guy's dead, the end.

-->'''Dan:''' You wouldn't know the difference between rabbit turds and Rice Krispies!\\
'''Crow:''' Snap, crackle, poop.

'''Mike:''' I think it's appropriate for this guy.

** "Look, [[RCrumb]] is leading them!"

** "Look, [[Art/RCrumb]] is leading them!"

During the crowd scenes in the ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' version, Mike and the bots cheer "Packers won the Super Bowl! WHOOOO!!" This led to a resurgence of interest in the episode among fans in 2011 when the Green Bay Packers beat The Pittsburgh Steelers in SuperBowl XLV.

** Servo's underwear collection was first seen in [[MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie The Movie]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Servo.

* IncrediblyLamePun: While Dan's berating his wife we get this gem:
-->'''Dan:''' You wouldn't know the difference between rabbit turds and Rice Krispies!\\
'''Crow:''' Snap, crackle, poop.

-->'''Crow:''' I-I-I-I'm fine, Mike. I'm fine. I've got French roast, V-V-V-Vivarin, Mountain Dew, Water Joe, Jolt, S-S-S-S-Surge, chocolate-covered espresso beans, M&Ms and I'm listening to [[Main/{{EBM}} Nitzer Ebb]] and [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment I'm FINE MIKE. Really, I'm fine. I'm fine]].
** Also Servo's [[MomentofAwesome CMOA]] as he lists the exact contents of his underwear collection.

--> '''Servo''': The film maker gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of the Gobbler, the G. Heileman Brewing Company, the Doughboy Corporation, Fort Howard toilet paper, Hofmann's Mustard Company, Music/TheBodeans, the American Dairy Association, and the [[RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy Wisconsin chapter of Wisconsin Dairy Farmers]]. [[AndZoidberg And the]] Music/ViolentFemmes.

* SpecialEffectsFailure[[invoked]]: As Crow puts it, "Giant Puppet Invasion!"

* WholePlotReference: To ''InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers''. While camping, Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo discover a bunch of pod-like creatures, get duplicated, and send a few up to the Satellite of Love to assimilate Mike and the 'bots. Throughout the host segments the rest of the cast try to resist being assimilated, until only Mike and Bobo are left. Mike talks the ape into saving the day, but since Pearl didn't get to watch the others watching the movie, she sends it to them again.

-->'''Bobo:''' (breaking free from ropes) Yes! And heir to the lineage of [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Godo! Mogo! and Chim-Chim!!]]

* With the Bots effected, Mike and Bobo remain the only unassimilated on their sides. He urges and inspires Bobo to find the Mother Pod, whom he defeats without any difficulty. Because the original Pearl was absent for most of the experiment, she tells Brain Guy to send the movie again, much to Mike and the Bots' horror.

* Servo freaks out over a clone of himself made by the zucchini. He defeats Clone Servo with the contents of his underwear drawer.

* Mike, Crow and Servo find Gypsy hypnotized from the zucchini throw pillows, who try to assimilate the three through warm milk.

* CelebrityResemblance: Dan's cousin Eddie looks like UsefulNotes/CharlesManson, which leads to [[Music/TheWhiteAlbum "Helter Skelter" and "Piggies"]] sung.

* Cheerleader Servo tries to show some team spirit but Mike and Crow suggest [=MRxL=].

--->'''Crow:''' Soon Hitler’s giant mechanical spiders had pushed past the Maginot Line.

* PlankGag: The "portage" scene in the first skit, featuring Servo balancing a canoe on his head and [[{{Slapstick}} smacking Crow and Mike with it whenever he looks in either direction]]. It would be his revenge for Mike smacking him around with the same gag back in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S06E14SanFranciscoInternational San Francisco International]]''.
