History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E12CarnivalMagic

!!The [=MST3K=] treatment provides examples of:

->'''[[Creator/MarkHamill P.T. Mindslap]]''': Now here's a great act, it's the greatest in fact/A fabulous quartet of a-ca-ro-bats/They're called Cirque du Lune, they swing and they swoon/It happens in the darkness [[NonIndicativeName when there isn't a moon]]\\
'''Tom''': I guess you just take it on faith that they're there\\
'''Crow''': As they glide invisibly through the dark air\\
'''Mindslap''': Well, who they are really, you'll never quite know/It's the Great Space Circus Sho-ooo-ow!\\
'''Jonah''': That would be something to see\\
'''Tom''': My good man, I agree\\
'''Mindslap''': Nah, better to hear my great descriptions aurally/Now in Ring 2, you'll hear me tell/Of strong men possessing an [[HumansAreSmelly even stronger smell]]/Sniff as they lift with impossible ease/You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll possibly sneeze!\\
'''Crow''': And that's in the dark, too?\\
'''Tom''': He narrates it to you?\\
'''Jonah''': So really, the audience won't have a clue

* HerrDoktor: Every film needs an antagonist, so here's Dr. Poole, vaguely European accent and all, determined to get his hands on Alex by any means necessary.

* SharedUniverse: InUniverse the bots claim there is an entire ''Carnival Magic'' universe comprised of prequels, sequels, spinoffs and a reboot. Hilariously, [[SuperGullible Jonah actually believes them]].
* SuperGullible: Jonah completely buys the bots' yarn about ''Carnival Magic'''s multiple sequels and longevity, not questioning them at all until they stretch it even further to include "Trailer Park Productions" a film studio built around filming in trailer parks. He also refers to himself as an "easy mark" for PT Mindslap's scam during the carnival song.
-->'''Jonah:''' Guys, are any of these movies actually real?\\

'''Crow:''' Yeah, I don't even think ''Carnival Magic'' was real and we just got done watching it.

* AlanSmithee: "Al Adamson is the name Alan Smithee uses when he doesn't want ''his'' name on a film."

* DesignatedHero:

* OneSceneWonder: Creator/MarkHamill as [[TheBarnum Phineas]] [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Tiberius]] Mindslap.

* NotableOriginalMusic: It's the Great Space Circus Sho-ooooo-ow!
-->'''Jonah:''' I'm an easy mark!\\
'''Crow:''' Let's go sit in the dark!\\
'''Tom:''' Though our problems with your show are increasingly stark!\\
'''P.T. Mindslap:''' No doubt when it's over, you'll feel like a schmoe,\\
It's the Great Space Circus Shooooooooooooooooooooow!

* PoliceCodeForEverything: In the movie, the rural police make up goofy codes like "Ghost Car" (for an out-of-control vehicle with no driver) and "King Kong" ("An ape kidnapping a beautiful girl"). Crow and Servo latch onto this and crank it up to eleven: they call in that there's "a Carnival Magic" in progress, then explain that it stands for [[OverlyLongGag the entire production history]] of ''Carnival Magic''. Then they spend the next host segment making up police codes for increasingly bizarre scenes from the movie.

* {{Dissimile}}: "He's like Series/MacGyver, if [=MacGyver=] just had to pick up some keys."

* OneSceneWonder: Creator/MarkHamill as [[TheBarnum Phineas]] [[Series/StarTrek Tiberius]] Mindslap.

* P.T. Mindslap, proprietor of the Great Space Circus Show, drops by the SOL, attempting to recruit Jonah and the bots to the most dubious show in space.

* OneSceneWonder: Creator/MarkHamill as [[Creator/PTBarnum Phineas]] [[Franchise/StarTrek Tiberius]] Mindslap.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Jonah and the bots spend much of the movie making fun of Bud's baseball cap. Then Bud stops wearing the cap and lets her hair down--and the riffers suddenly wish she would put the hat back on.

-->'''Jonah:''' Guys, are any of these movies actually real?\
'''Servo:''' Of COURSE not, Jonah.\

--> '''Crow:''' It sits in a vault for years until it's discovered by mad scientist for their TV show where they force poor jerks to watch it, thus giving it a second life its creators never intended.
--> '''Tom:''' Exactly Carnival Magic.

* Tom Servo is in the middle of delivering his TOM Talk--a TED Talk, but with even more gibberish than usual.

** So obscure that before ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' it didn't have a page on TV Tropes.
