13 | |
14 | [[AC:Segment 1]] |
15 | * For this week's Invention Exchange, Joel and the Bots dress up in last minute Halloween costumes: Crow as a movie theater floor, Servo as a FaceOnAMilkCarton, and Joel as a pan of Jiffy Pop. The Mads also get in on the action, with Dr. Forrester as a foosball goalie and Frank as [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Geordi La Forge]]. |
16 | |

29 | ---- |
30 | !!The [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] version of ''Film/GodzillaVsMegalon'' provides examples of: |
31 | * ActorIsTheTitleCharacter: "Rex Dart ''is'' Eskimo Spy!" |
32 | * BigShutUp: When the kid tells Godzilla "bye-bye!" at the end, all three shout out "SHUT UP!" with Tom mumbling "Little twerp" |
33 | * CallBack: During the first kidnap attempt, Crow tosses out a [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E04WomenOfThePrehistoricPlanet "HI-KEEBA!"]] |
34 | * CallForward: TheStinger, a replay of the scene where Godzilla jumps into the water, is StockFootage from ''[[Film/EbirahHorrorOfTheDeep Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster]]'', which would be featured in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E13GodzillaVsTheSeaMonster the very next episode]].[[note]]Joel waving Godzilla on makes the scene even funnier.[[/note]] |
35 | * CombatCommentator: Joel and the Bots play this role when Godzilla and Jet Jaguar take on Megalon and Gigan. |
36 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: Orville Popcorn is a dark parody of Orville Redenbacher. Here portrayed as megalomaniac and abusive to his grandson who insults him and relishes in cutting him off like he did his son. |
37 | * FaceOnAMilkCarton: Tom Servo's makeshift Halloween costume during the invention exchange. |
38 | -->'''Servo:''' Have you seen me? |
39 | * GagSub: The Jet Jaguar Fight Song, written in IntentionalEngrishForFunny and [[TranslationYes not matching the meter of the song at all]]. |
40 | -->''HE JOCK IT MADE OF STEEL\ |
41 | EATS SUSHI FROM A PAIL\ |
42 | JET JAGUAR? JET JAGUAR!\ |
43 | HE MOTHER NEVER REALLY LOVE HIM'' |
44 | * AGodAmI: In the Orville Redenbacher commercial sketch, the grandfather (Crow) yells "I'M THE GOD! I'M THE GOD!" as part of his rant at his grandson (Servo). |
45 | * HatesTheirParent: During the "Orville Popcorn" skit, Orville's grandson (played by Servo) tells his grandfather (played by Crow) that he hates him after being belittled by him. |
46 | * HeelRealization: After Godzilla is scolded for fighting dirty with a tree as if he was making a FaceHeelTurn in a wrestling match, Joel and the Bots voice him apologizing for his outburst before tossing it aside. |
47 | * IHaveNoSon: During the Orville Redenbacher (as [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Orville Popcorn]]) commercial sketch, Crow (playing Orville) expresses a desire to disown his grandson (played by Servo) when the latter insults him. He later says that he "replaced" his son when he ended up in the poorhouse. |
48 | * InTheStyleOf: The "Orville Popcorn" host segment is a heated dramatic duologue that wouldn't be out of place in a Creator/EugeneONeill play. |
49 | * RunningGag: The constant cracks about Hiroshi wearing Wayne Newton's jacket. |
50 | ** Everyone's hatred of the laboratory stairs. |
51 | ** The horrible, screeching dub on younger brother. |
52 | ** The Seatopian Priest-King guy & his ridiculous outfit (complete with goofy CampGay Broadway/fashion-type references) and his resemblance to Tim Conway's ''Dorf''. |
53 | ** The Seatopian henchman being Creator/OscarWilde & Luciano Pavarotti. Especially heavy on the former. |
54 | ** Crow speaking as Megalon in the manner of a Broadway/Vegas showman. |
55 | --->'''Crow:'''(as Megalon during his big entrance) All right, [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters forget everything you've seen until now.]] That's right, [[JustHereForGodzilla it's time for the headliner]]![[invoked]] For my first trick, I will use an ordinary metropolitan city... |
56 | ** The climactic fight being called by J&TB as if it's a ProfessionalWrestling match. |
57 | --->'''Crow:''' He's got a tree! ''He's got a tree!'' This is ''not'' the Godzilla we know, he's fighting dirty! |
58 | ** Combined with ShoutOut, but whenever the characters say Roku-san's name, one of Joel or the bots would say "[[Music/ThePolice You don't have to put your red dress on.]]" |
59 | * ShoutOut: |
60 | ** Joel and the Bots sing the ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' theme during the first chase sequence, they soon change the words to ''Mach Go Go Go''! Doubles as ShownTheirWork since the Japanese name of ''Speed Racer'' wasn't so well-known in 1990. |
61 | ** "Hey! [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL]] is reading your lips!" |
62 | ** "Look out, [[Film/TheLoveBug Herbie]]!" |
63 | ** Jokes about Goro's resemblance to Music/ElvisPresley are a minor RunningGag. |
64 | ** The Jet Jaguar Fight Song says the robot's head looks like Creator/JackNicholson. |
65 | * StylisticSuck: The ''Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy'' intro in the third/fourth host segment. |
66 | * TranslationYes: The GagSub of the Jet Jaguar Fight Song gets a whole extra verse out of the last two lines of the original song. Inverted by translating "DON'T TOUCH MY BAGS IF YOU PLEASE, MR. CUSTOMS MAN" [[HongKongDub after the singing stops]]. |
67 | * WhatTheHellHero: Joel and the Bots admonish Godzilla for fighting with a tree, and they voice Jet Jaguar as being stunned at how he would fight so dirty. |
68 | -->'''Servo:''' ''(as Jet Jaguar)'' Godzilla? A tree? That's not like you. Why? |
69 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Apart from the [[OverusedRunningGag awe-inspiring tail-slide dropkick]], parodied during the final fight, with Joel and the Bots serving as a commentary team and treating the fight like a professional wrestling tag match, complete with admonishments for Godzilla using a foreign object (a tree). |
70 | --> '''Crow:''' He's got a tree! He's got a tree! That's not the Godzilla we know, [[FaceHeelTurn he's fighting dirty]]! |
71 | ---- |
72 | ->'''Godzilla''': ''([[TheStinger leaps from a cliff to the sea]])'' |
