History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E11HorrorsOfSpiderIsland

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Alluded to:
--> "Hairy palms! Mother was right!"
** During the auditions:
--->'''Crow:''' He's supported by a generous donation from the Onan Organization and the Chub Group.

* HoYay: Invoked: The {{Sexophone}} music in the film causes Crow and Servo to come onto Mike, who rebuff their advances.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike season 8 when Pearl and co. were always changing locations, Castle Forrester was always in the same place until this episode, when it abruptly moved to a suburban neighborhood. The reason? The mountaintop where it used to be had the gall to charge Pearl $50 for an ape license. However, by episode's end Castle Forrester was back on the mountain, since Pearl discovered she couldn't throw her trash out the window.

--> '''Crow''': [[Wrestling/JesseVentura Their leader ]] is a huge, bald Nazi!

* BrawnHilda: At one point, Mike gives Babs a deep voice, saying, "[[{{Transgender}} Hey, try yourself a she-male, pal.]]"

* Mike imitates Gary from the movie and has the Mads audition for a spot on Broadway.

* BrawnHilda: At one point, Mike gives Babs a deep voice, saying, "[[{{Transgender}} Hey, try yourself a she-male, pal.]]" (How that [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar got past the censors is amazing]].)

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When one of the dancers takes down the "No Smoking" sign and sits on it, Servo sighs, "Lucky sign!"

* Mike claims that he's turning into a spider monster. Crow and Servo don't believe him, though they do commend Mike on his awesome spider claw. Pearl calls from a truck stop as she's in the middle of moving Castle Forrester back to the mountains. As it turns out, the suburbs won't let her throw her trash out the window and she doesn't like that.

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Pearl spent several million dollars to move the castle in order to save $50 a year on Bobo's ape license. And then had to move it back because she couldn't be bothered to leave her trash out on the curb like a normal person.

--> '''Servo''': At last, the movie reveals its ''true'' purpose.\\

** Servo and Crow listing off shrimp-based dishes (and more) a'la Bubba from ''[[Film/ForrestGump]]''.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: A series-long running gag about how ''huge'' cars were 50+ years ago. [[Invoked]]

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Pearl spent several million dollars to move the castle in order to save $40 a year on Bobo's ape license. And then had to move it back because she couldn't be bothered to leave her trash out on the curb like a normal person.

* CallBack: When Mike and the bots are joking about the scientist being caught in a web "in the midst of a cheerleading routine", Crow mentions "[[Film/TheGiantSpiderInvasion MRxL]]." [[note]] And intentional or not, that's a callback to another movie about people being antagonized by giant killer spiders. [[/note]]

--> '''Servo''': Ah yes, the hustle and bustle of city life.

* IronicEcho: Mike and the bots tend to dramatically proclaim '''"THE HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND!"'''--shifting the emphasis between ''horrors'' and ''spider'' -- whenever the movie ratchets up the {{Fanservice}}.
** This is actually a CallBack (''way'' back) to ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E24ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos: The Hands of Fate]]'', where Joel and the Bots spent the first half of the movie doing the same dramatic title drops whenever nothing was happening onscreen (which, again, was pretty much the first half of the movie... And maybe a good deal of the second half, too).

* CallBack: When Mike and the bots are joking about the scientist being caught in a web "in the midst of a cheerleading routine", Crow mentions "[[Film/TheGiantSpiderInvasion MRxL]]."

** Earlier, Babs is described as being a fullback for the Chicago Bears.

** Earlier, Babs is described as being a linebacker for the Chicago Bears.

* BrawnHilda: At one point, Mike gives Babs a deep voice, saying, "[[{{Transsexual}} Hey, try yourself a she-male, pal.]]" (How that [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar got past the censors is amazing]].)

* RagingStiffie: When one dancer is nearly nude dancing for Mike, Crow quips, "Try crossing your legs ''now'', pal!"
