| 9 | !!The Segments: |
| 10 | [[AC:Prologue]] |
| 11 | * Dr. Forrester provides an introduction to this movie, and the one which will be riffed momentarily. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | [[AC:Segment 1]] |
| 14 | * Mike's morning workout is interrupted when Crow attempts to tunnel his way out of the Satellite of Love and into space. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | [[AC:Segment 2]] |
| 17 | * Claiming he can be a better pilot than Cal, Mike tries his hand at piloting the SOL. He ends up crashing into the Hubble telescope, and only makes things worse trying to fix it. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[AC:Segment 3]] |
| 20 | * As it turns out, Tom has an interocitor in his bedroom, so Mike and the Bots use it to contact a Metalunan ask it for help in escaping. The one they get is not really much help. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[AC:Segment 4]] |
| 23 | * Mike and the 'Bots unwind from the experiment with a little "Metaluna mixer". When Dr. Forrester attempts to crash the party with his own interocitor, he himself gets zapped to Metaluna. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | [[AC:Credits]] |
| 26 | * Mike and the Bots riff on the credits to their own movie. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | !!The ''[=MST3K=]'' movie provides examples of: |
| 31 | * ArtisticLicensePhysics: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] -- when the Hubble Telescope suddenly falls and burns up (and presumably [[MadeOfExplodium blows up in an incredible]] [[TakeOurWordForIt offscreen fireball]]), Mike points out that it shouldn't even be possible for it to suddenly drop out of orbit like that. |
| 32 | * AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Well, probably ''PG'' in this case, but Gramercy insisted on having a handful of foul words used during the film so the MPAA would bump the rating up to PG-13 and help the film attract a wider audience.[[note]]Ironically, the film got said rating for 'Some Sexual Humor', not language.[[/note]] |
| 33 | * BigBudgetBeefUp: Of particular note is the famous theater hallway, which is now a real ''full-size'' hallway[[note]]thanks to the AMAZING RANDO![[/note]]. Mike and the Bots even stroll through it in one scene. The theater also has a few additional seats, thanks to the widescreen format. |
| 34 | ** The bots have been upgraded, too. Crow's arms actually move when he uses the pickaxe, and he can tilt his entire head up to look at Mike and Servo. In one of the deleted scenes, he even convincingly plays the harmonica. Servo is actually seen hovering as Mike climbs down a ladder (rather than being an InformedAttribute like in the show) and Gypsy... well, she has a fresh coat of paint. |
| 35 | * BigDamnMovie: Dr. F. is being a real jerk ths time around, so the threats to Mike and company are much more pressing than usual, and their ultimate victory against him is a lot more pronounced and satisfying. |
| 36 | * BrainBleach: Mike's reaction to Servo's underwear collection. |
| 37 | * BrickJoke: The original ending has Crow returning to trying to tunnel out of the satellite, this time with the chainsaw he found in Servo's room. This had to be cut because the focus groups found the original ending too long.[[note]]"And scary", joked Jim Mallon at the Convent-O-Con II.[[/note]] |
| 38 | * CallBack: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E04WomenOfThePrehistoricPlanet This isn't the first time the Satellite's Manipulator Arms were used.]] |
| 39 | ** Among the junk in Servo's room is a collection of [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell hamdingers]] and [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E07IAccuseMyParents his ideal family drawing]]. |
| 40 | * CanonDiscontinuity: The 213 official episodes of ''[=MST3K=]'' (through 2017) include the KTMA "Season 0" episodes, but not this movie. It's a telling legacy of how much discord it caused among the production staff, including creating rifts that have never truly healed. |
| 41 | * CaptainOblivious: When Crow pickaxes his way through the hull and ContinuousDecompression threatens to suck them all into space, he asks for the blueprints to his plan -- meaning he actually ''[[SubvertedTrope did]]'' [[SubvertedTrope think this through]], just... [[DoubleSubverted not well enough]]. Once the paper flies into his face: |
| 42 | -->'''Crow:''' Well, this is confusing! Mike, could you hand me my calculations? ''(a wad of paper smacks Crow in the face)'' Thank you! Huh, would you look at that: "Breach Hull - All Die!" Even had it ''underlined''! |
| 43 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Crow is considerably loopier than usual here. |
| 44 | -->'''Crow:''' Come come, boys, [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI we must confound Jerry at every turn]]! |
| 45 | * ContinuityNod: Servo would later detail the exact contents of his underwear collection [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E10TheGiantSpiderInvasion in a later episode]]. |
| 46 | * CouldSayItBut: It takes Tom several minutes to outright tell Mike that Crow [[TooDumbToLive is trying to tunnel out of the Satellite of Love]], even ''after'' [[HintDropping repeatedly commenting on how nothing seems life-threatening at the moment, and how there's a rhythmic thumping echoing throughout the ship]]. |
| 47 | -->'''Tom Servo''': Something's ''causing'' this, Mike. ''[[SarcasmMode Hmmm,]]'' [[SarcasmMode now let's think: I'm here, you're here, Gypsy's here-]] |
| 48 | -->'''Mike''': [[LampshadeHanging Okay, Tom, where's Crow?]] |
| 49 | -->'''Tom Servo''': "''Where's Crow''," huh. I'm not supposed to say anything, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck but I did see that little moron heading towards the basement with a pickaxe in his hand!]] |
| 50 | * EpicFail: Mike busts up the Hubble so bad that it somehow ''drops through space''. Mike (and the viewer) has no idea how that even works. |
| 51 | * EverybodyLaughsEnding: "Hey, look at that, Dr. Forrester's gone!" "Alright! Now we'll never get back to Earth!" ''(Everybody laughs, FadeToBlack.)'' |
| 52 | -->''({{Beat}})''\ |
| 53 | '''Mike:''' [[DelayedReaction Hey, wait a minute]]... |
| 54 | * FanEdit: A fan went through the effort to make [[https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Mystery-Science-Theater-3000-The-Movie-Extended-Cut/id/54739 an extended cut of the film]] that restores and reinserts the deleted scenes and obscure riffs that were cut from the final film. |
| 55 | * {{Flanderization}}: Mike, as TheHero, is extra {{nice|Guy}} and [[TheGenericGuy bland]]; Crow is much more of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than usual and hefts the IdiotBall more readily, rather than the nerdy prankster he usually is; and if anything, Tom is probably less of a SmallNameBigEgo and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than normal thanks to CastSpeciation, although he does take on the lion's share of VulgarHumor for the riffs rather than having everyone pass it around. |
| 56 | * AGodAmI: Forrester when he overrides the interocitor signal and fires beams at the crew to get them back to the theater room. |
| 57 | -->'''Forrester:''' [[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S3E28TheLittlePeople I'M THE GOD! I'M THE GOD!!!]] |
| 58 | * GratuitousLaboratoryFlasks: The film opens with a close-up shot of flasks filled with steaming, bubbling liquid--then the camera pulls back to show the rest of Dr. Forrester's lab. No explanation for the flasks is ever given. |
| 59 | * {{Homage}}: The movie's opening credits play over Mike jogging along the inside of a circular track, similar to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''...but Mike's in a human-sized hamster wheel. Complete with hanging water bottle. |
| 60 | * IronicEcho: When Tom reveals he has an Interocitor, Mike's skeptical about it, with Tom replying "Doesn't everybody?" When their attempt to use it to escape fails and Forrester's ugly mug shows up, he replies "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Auntie Em! Auntie Em!]] Surprise! Like who ''doesn't'' have an Interocitor?!" |
| 61 | * IKnowMortalKombat: Mike's revelation that he's fully instrument-rated as a pilot in ''Microsoft Flight Simulator'' prompts Crow and Servo to dare him to take the controls of the ''Satellite of Love''. Lampshaded when he even complains when they first make the dare that piloting a satellite is nothing like piloting a plane, but one round of NobodyCallsMeChicken and he's cockily pushing Gypsy out of the bridge. Five seconds later, [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds the Hubble space telescope is destroyed]]. |
| 62 | * IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Crow plans to escape the ''Satellite of Love'' by [[PrisonEscapeArtist tunneling out of it]]. You know, ''into space''. "Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds that I was doing something incredibly stupid, and... [[IdiotBall I went ahead anyway]]." |
| 63 | * KneelBeforeZod: Dr. Forrester forces Mike and the Bots to bow down to him, the former through oxygen deprivation. |
| 64 | * MediumAwareness: |
| 65 | ** Zigzagged for all it's worth. Crow doesn't know why their credits would involve puppeteers, but of course they're still ''watching'' the credits to their own movie. He also comments he always ''stays'' during the end credits -- but from his perspective, which end credits is he referring to? |
| 66 | ** There's an odd reversal from the show, which had the SOL crew talk to the audience regularly while the Mads mostly ignored them. Here, Dr. Forrester talks directly to us to set up the premise, while the crew ignore us, save for a brief moment after the Hubble is destroyed. When Mike and the 'Bots head back to the theater, Gypsy looks at the camera, sighs "[[TeamMom Boys!]]" and shakes her head ruefully. |
| 67 | * MemeticBadass: In-universe; during the credits, we get the AMAZING RANDO! |
| 68 | ** Out-of-universe, the AMAZING RANDO! is art director Rando Schmook. Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Schmook took to the rails and explored the entire lower 48 states via freight train before pursuing a degree in architecture, which he used to design sets for Hollywood movies, including ''Film/MyCousinVinny''. Rando really was amazing to the rest of BBI, who credit him with fully achieving the look they were going after, as well as being amused by his eccentricities, which included showing up to work in ratty sneakers and changing into freshly shined black patent leather tuxedo shoes before starting his work (he claimed the soles allowed him to run around sets faster), and changing back into said sneakers before leaving for the day. He also apparently only ate a pound of Oscar Mayer bologna slices (no bread or condiments) for lunch every day, with no other food or drink consumed the rest of the time. |
| 69 | * TheMovie: Of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. Right there in the title. |
| 70 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: The "hallway to the theater" transitions are accompanied by a ridiculously majestic score (especially the first one). It's probably safe to assume that this was a parody of the trope. |
| 71 | * MundaneUtility: Servo has been using his Interocitor to make hot chocolate. |
| 72 | * MythologyGag: |
| 73 | ** One of the theater doors has a cast of TV's Frank's face on it, surrounded by bananas (naturally, it's door number 2). |
| 74 | ** The "hard copy of the wire service reports" that Gypsy gives Mike is actually an old ''Satellite News'' from the ''[=MST3K=]'' Info Club. |
| 75 | ** The "Manipulator Arms" Mike uses to delicately pry the Hubble off the ''[=SOL=]'''s hull is labeled "[[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos]]" and is accompanied by a brief snippet of Torgo's {{leitmotif}}. |
| 76 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: A fairly literal case. Mike has yet to embark on his [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds world-destroying career]], but he manages to steer the ship straight into the Hubble space telescope within seconds of taking the controls, then manages to damage it even further while trying to ''manually'' put it back in orbit with the Satellite's manipulator-arms, then botches things completely when, [[GravityIsAHarshMistress a few seconds after he lets go]], it plummets straight to Earth. |
| 77 | -->'''Tom and Crow:''' ''(chanting)'' ''Mike broke the Hubble! Mike broke the Hubble!'' |
| 78 | * OhCrap: In the original ending, when Crow intends to chainsaw his way out of the [=SoL=]. |
| 79 | -->'''Crow:''' Oopsie. |
| 80 | * PottyEmergency: Defied by Dr. Forrester at the beginning, who makes sure to ask if everyone's gone so that he doesn't have to stop the movie for...you know... |
| 81 | * PublicDomainSoundtrack: Gypsy sings "Drunken Sailor" while piloting, while Crow sings "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" while tunneling back to Earth -- or trying to. |
| 82 | * RoomFullOfCrazy: We finally get a good look at Servo's room, which contains a [[{{Manchild}} race car-shaped bed]], a {{chainsaw|Good}}, a collection of lamps as well as [[CollectorOfTheStrange his massive underwear collection]], and an interocitor he's apparently just had kicking around for years (he was using it to make hot chocolate). |
| 83 | * ShoutOut: |
| 84 | ** Many, many references to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', especially during the opening credits and its mellow score. In [[{{Homage}} the intro sequence]], there's Mike running around a giant hamster wheel rather than the huge rotating CentrifugalGravity section of the space station from ''2001'', and the closeup on Gypsy's eye is both a reference to CyberCyclops HAL 9000 (the TropeCodifier) and a {{Callback}} to ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]''. |
| 85 | ** As Crow attempts to tunnel out of the Satellite, he sings "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" which is both a 1912 music hall standard which became a popular WWI marching song as well as a reference to the StockSitcomGrandFinale originated by ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow''; this is later repeated in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E13Diabolik the Season 10 series finale]] of the original run of ''[=MST3K=]'' itself. |
| 86 | *** Furthermore, Crow changes up the lyrics, singing "Goodbye to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Beery_Jr Noah Beery]]"[[note]]Or possibly his father, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Beery Noah Beery, Sr.]][[/note]] (instead of "Goodbye, Piccadilly") and "Hellooo [[Creator/HaroldLloyd Harold Lloyyyyd]]!" (in place of "Farewell, Leicester Square!") |
| 87 | ** After foiling the crew's plans to use the Interocitor to escape, Dr. Forrester taunts them: "[[Film/ISawWhatYouDid I know who you are and I saw what you did!]]". |
| 88 | * SpaceIsAnOcean: The controls of the Satellite Of Love are almost identical to a boat's helm. To the point Gypsy (whose major duty in-series is running the satellite) drives it while wearing a captain's hat and singing "What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor". |
| 89 | ** When Mike fixes the Hubble Space Telescope with the S.O.L.'s robotic arms, and then releases it into space, the Hubble ''falls'' like a waterlogged ship falling into the ocean. The look of incredulity on Mike's face is priceless to any audience members who understand orbital mechanics. |
| 90 | * StrangelyArousing: When Tom blocks the hull breach with his hoverskirt, he starts ''giggling'' as the vacuum of space sucks at him from underneath, declaring, "I'm experiencing a sensation altogether new to me -- and frankly, I '''''love''''' it!" When Mike removes him, he growls, "Aw, darn..." |
| 91 | * TooDumbToLive: Not only was Crow's plan to tunnel out of the Satellite of Love ''immensely'' stupid, but it turns out '''even''' '''''he''''' '''knew that''': |
| 92 | -->'''Crow''': [[DissonantSerenity (as the ship decompresses, and is about to suck Tom out into space; yelling) Huh, this]] ''[[DissonantSerenity is]]'' [[DissonantSerenity confusing!]] Uh, Mike, you wanna hand me my calculations?! (paper flies into his face) Thank you! [[SomethingWeForgot Wow, look at that: "Breach hull, all die". Even had it underlined!]] |
| 93 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Dr. Forrester is ''much'' more sadistic and threatening in the film than [[HarmlessVillain he is in the series proper]]. In the pre-film scenes alone, he cuts off Mike's oxygen when he and the bots give him lip. |
| 94 | * TypesetInTheFuture: The opening credits use the [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} Eurostile font]] as a parody of serious science fiction films (like ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''). |
| 95 | * UnraveledEntanglement: Mike and the 'Bots get an unscheduled break from the movie when the film comes unspooled and then melts. The scene cuts to Dr. Forrester, whose tie is caught in the projector reel, and his arm is somehow on fire. He uses the film to put out the fire, and just gets his hands tangled in it. |
| 96 | * WontDoYourDirtyWork: Mike talks Gypsy--the usual pilot on the Satellite of Love--into letting him take the [[SpaceIsAnOcean helm]]. ''Seconds'' later, Mike crashes them into the Hubble Telescope. He tries to see if Gypsy can fix the problem, but she's having none of it. |
| 97 | -->'''Mike:''' Hey, Gypsy, can you...? |
| 98 | -->'''Gypsy:''' Uh uh! No way! This is '''your''' dishwashing liquid, '''you''' soak in it! |
| 99 | * YourHeadASplode: Servo's dome seems to be a magnet for interocitor beams. Poor bastard. |
| 100 | ---- |
| 101 | |
| 102 | !!The ''[=MST3K=]'' movie-within-a-movie presentation of ''Film/ThisIslandEarth'' contains examples of the following tropes: |
| 103 | * ActorAllusion: Steve Carlson is played by Russell Johnson, so a few jokes center around his role as the Professor on ''Series/GilligansIsland'' and the use of BambooTechnology. |
| 104 | * AnalProbing: The topic of two of Servo's riffs about the Metalunans. |
| 105 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The [=MutAnt's=] big, exposed brain makes for an obvious target. |
| 106 | -->'''Crow:''' ''(as [=MutAnt=] when Cal hits it repeatedly in the head)'' OW! I'm very vulnerable there -- D'oh! There go the piano lessons! AAGH! I can't remember my dad! |
| 107 | * TheCameo: Obviously unintentional, and they don't call attention to it, but the deliveryman is played by Creator/ColemanFrancis, who directed the films featured in [[Film/TheSkydivers three]] [[Film/RedZoneCuba classic]] [[Film/TheBeastOfYuccaFlats episodes]]. |
| 108 | * CaptainObvious: When Cal points out the aliens' foreheads being inhuman, Servo chuckles and exclaims, "[[SarcasmMode No!]]" |
| 109 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When the [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal International]] logo appears: |
| 110 | -->'''Mike:''' Doesn't the fact that it's universal ''make'' it international? |
| 111 | * ForScience: Nobody questions Cal and Joe spending time, money, and power assembling various ill-defined machines that don't actually seem to work. |
| 112 | -->'''Mike:''' Ah, yes. This is when science didn't have to have any specific purpose. |
| 113 | * GratuitousGerman: One of the riffs has Tom speaking in guidebook German (a ShoutOut to ''Series/FawltyTowers''). |
| 114 | -->'''Tom:''' ''Guten Tag! Zigaretten? Wir wollen ein Auto mieten!''[[note]]"Good day! Cigarettes? We would like to rent a car!"[[/note]] |
| 115 | * HoYay: InUniverse, several references are made to Cal and Joe being a couple. |
| 116 | -->'''Joe:''' You're too darn smart.\ |
| 117 | '''Servo:''' And handsome!\ |
| 118 | ''(later)''\ |
| 119 | '''Joe:''' Cal, won't you reconsider?\ |
| 120 | '''Cal:''' I did. All night.\ |
| 121 | '''Servo:''' ''(suggestively, as Cal)'' Didn't you hear me? |
| 122 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: Mike and the 'Bots singing along with a poorly-timed dramatic sting: |
| 123 | -->'''Mike & The 'Bots:''' ''(singing along)'' ''Normal View, Normal Viewwww,'' '''Normal Viewwwwww,''' ''(Servo alone, grandiosely)'' '''''NORMAL VIEWWWWWW!!!!''''' |
| 124 | * OhTheHumanity: When Cal's experiment in an early scene (which the riffers compared to Eggo Waffles) suddenly explodes. |
| 125 | -->'''Mike:''' Oh, my God, my waffle! Oh, the humanity! |
| 126 | * PottyEmergency: One of the riffs, as Joe runs up the control tower: |
| 127 | -->'''Crow:''' ''(as Joe)'' Putting the men's room in the tower; what was I thinking?! |
| 128 | * PrecisionFStrike: Three S-strikes are made during the riffing for the sake of [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating pushing the movie's rating to PG-13]].[[note]]Even if it was ExecutiveMeddling, they made good use out of it. Mary Jo Pehl was responsible for writing all three.[[/note]] All three are delivered by Tom: |
| 129 | ** After being told what two of their fellow scientists are working on (uranium, plutonium): |
| 130 | -->'''Tom:''' Whoopty-shit. |
| 131 | ** On first seeing Metaluna: |
| 132 | -->'''Tom:''' What kind of shithole planet ''is'' this?! |
| 133 | ** And just a few minutes later as they're trying to ''escape'' from said shithole planet: |
| 134 | -->'''Tom:''' No, I could've sworn we parked on level C, right next to the -- ''(sees space monster around the corner)'' oh, ''shit''. |
| 135 | * RubberForeheadAliens: The Metalunans all have orange skin, white hair, and big, oddly-shaped foreheads. Ruth and Steve think they need a series of sketches and diagrams as proof of this. |
| 136 | -->'''Ruth:''' "Notice the strange indentation in both their foreheads."\ |
| 137 | '''Servo:''' '''[[SarcasmMode NO!!!!!?]]''' |
| 138 | * RunningGag: Many, as usual for the series. |
| 139 | ** "In the event that the first assistant production coordinator is unable to fulfill her duties..." "[[OverusedRunningGag Okay, enough!]]" |
| 140 | ** "The Amazing Rando!", Construction Coordinator and behind-the-scenes MemeticBadass[[invoked]] Rando Schmook, from the ending credits. |
| 141 | -->'''Tom:''' Watch [[StageMagician Rando the Great]] construct sets with his very MIND!!\ |
| 142 | '''Tom:''' Excuse me, Magic Film and Video, but RANDO will do all the magic on this film!\ |
| 143 | '''Tom:''' [[SomethingPerson Eastman]].[[note]]Eastman Color Film[[/note]] He came out of the east to do battle with [[SuddenlyShouting the AMAZING RANDOOO]]!!!" |
| 144 | * ShoutOut: |
| 145 | ** Over the sign saying 'Private Airfield': "Creator/KeanuReeves in ''[[Film/MyOwnPrivateIdaho My Own Private Airfield]]!''" |
| 146 | ** The first two scientists Ruth introduces Cal to are "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Myung_Moon Reverend Moon]], [[Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies Miss Hathaway]]," respectively. |
| 147 | ** "[[Creator/WaltWhitman I sing the Additional Grip/Electric]]." |
| 148 | ** As the Metalunan ship lands, Servo reminds everyone that "we're parked in the [[Franchise/StarTrek Denubrian]][[note]][[Franchise/StarTrek Denebian]][[/note]] [[Franchise/StarTrek Slime Devil]] lot!" |
| 149 | * SomethingPerson: As Joe piles into a Jeep after Cal's near-crash on the airstrip: "This is a job for Weenie Man!" |
| 150 | -->'''Crow:''' Into the [[{{Thememobile}} Weeniemobile]]! Weenie Man away! |
| 151 | * StoppedReadingTooSoon: Dr. Cal Meacham gets several crates full of the necessary parts to build an interocitor. The scene skips to after he's unpacked them, and the thousands of fragile parts are spread out on the floor. Cal reads the instructions again... |
| 152 | -->'''Tom Servo:''' ''(as Cal Meacham)'' "But before unpacking..." ''D'oh!'' |
| 153 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The riffers have a lot of fun with the fact that the main characters are fooled by the [[HughMann incredibly obvious aliens]]. |
| 154 | -->'''Cal:''' What do you think of [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart Mr. Mozart]], Exeter?\ |
| 155 | '''Exeter:''' I'm afraid I do not know the gentleman.\ |
| 156 | '''Servo :''' ''(as Exeter)'' '''I'M NOT AN ALIEN!'''\ |
| 157 | ''(as the dinner ends)''\ |
| 158 | '''Tom:''' ''(as Exeter)'' And then I'll [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong ram my ovipositor down your throat and lay my eggs in your chest]], but I'm not an alien! |
| 159 | * TakeThat: |
| 160 | ** "Okay, let's see here. [[Creator/WilliamShatner Shatner, Shatner...]] Doesn't look like he's in this one. We're safe." |
| 161 | ** "Hey, you can see the [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Cubs]] losing!" |
| 162 | * ThoseWackyNazis: Servo has a German scientist greet Cal and Ruth with an overly cheerful "Heil Hitler!" |
| 163 | * ToiletHumour: The crew wasn't above fart jokes. |
| 164 | -->'''Servo:''' ''(as Cal)'' Sorry, I farted. |
| 165 | -->''(later)'' |
| 166 | -->'''Mike:''' ''(as Ruth)'' ''I'' farted. |
| 167 | * YoureNotMyFather: One of the riffs: |
| 168 | -->'''Joe:''' "You know what the kids would say..."\ |
| 169 | '''Servo:''' ...You're not my real father! |
