[[caption-width-right:350:"Oh c'mon, one more sacrifice before we go?"]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Okay, but this is ''The Final Sacrifice''!"]]

* CanadaEh: The movie itself was set in Canada, but doesn't use any of the stereotypes. The [=MST3K=] episode makes numerous jokes that fit this trope exactly, however, culminating in a song about Canada that is nothing but mocking the country using every stereotype imaginable...eh?

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation has examples of:

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Tom and Crow are ''really'' bad looters (then again there isn't much to steal on a satellite where a guy and a couple of robots live).

* HeroicBSOD: Mike suffers this when he learns Crow and Servo have entered a Muffin-y, Calista Flockhart, Swoosie Kurtz kind of cult, instead of the usual animal sacrifice sort.

* TheAlcoholic: How the crew portray Rowsdower:

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Tom and Crow are ''really'' bad looters (then again there isn't much to steal on a satellite where a guy a couple of robots live).

--->'''Servo:''' "Ow! You shot my butt! What the hell? You shot me in the ''butt''!

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

** While Rowsdower is on his knees surrounded by Satoris' gunmen, Servo quips "Look into your heart, eh!", riffing on the SignatureScene from ''Film/MillersCrossing'' where an about-to-be-executed Bernie Bernbaum pleads for his life in the titular woods.

** During the skit where Mike gets Grizzled Old Prospector Syndrome, Tom asks Mike if he's been kissing any prospectors. After pondering briefly, Mike denies it, though he apparently did kiss a surly truck farmer (in a ContinuityNod all the way back to Joel's day and the short in Episode 507).

* ShotInTheAss: As it's ''very'' unclear where Troy shoots Satoris in the film's climax, Mike and the 'bots assumed he was shot in the butt. Later extended when Satoris catches fire seemingly because of it [[note]] You kind of have to look but it's actually because Satoris is wielding a torch during the fight, and at one point Rowsdower knocks his arm back. Satoris hits himself in the back with his torch, setting him on fire [[/note]], and the 'bots suggest shooting ''Mike'' in the butt to find out if this is a reliable method for setting humans on fire.

--> '''Mike (as Pipper):''' [[Series/TheRedGreenShow And remember, if the ladies don't find you handsome, they at least should find you handy.]][[note]]While ''The Red Green Show'' was still largely a Canadian phenomenon in the late 90's, it had crossover appeal in Midwestern states that were very similar to Ontario, and Best Brains was probably familiar with it through PBS rebroadcasts.[[/note]]

"I haven't been this tense since Mock U.N.!"

* IncrediblyLamePun: Mike gets cut off preemptively when he tries to make one about people "just ''dying'' to get into" a cemetery. Note, though, that Mike did the same joke in season 5's ''The Atomic Brain'', and was able to finish the joke.
** See also the "Pipper" joke under StealthPun, which Servo also cuts off.

->“''You know what? You lose me straight away when your movie’s protagonist is named ‘Zap Rowsdower’. The second I hear him identified as ‘Zap Rowsdower’ I am squeezing past you and climbing over your legs and muttering “excuse me” and I am getting the hell out of the movie. Only this time I couldn’t because I was at work and I’m hourly and I had used up all my vacation and sick time. How about Plink Holmgren? Or Pow Flowhauer?''"
-->--'''Mary Jo Pehl''', ''The Amazing Colossal [=MST3K=] Guide''

* {{Corpsing}}: Mike and the bots can barely keep their composure when Mike Pipper and his ridiculous accent first appear in the film around the one hour mark.
** Mike also cracks up at Servo's "Oooh, I ''hates'' legends!" during the scene in the dark.

--> '''Mike (as Pipper):''' [[Series/TheRedGreenShow And remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.]]

-->"He's gonna turn into a [[Film/{{Werewolf}} warwilf!]]"

'''Tom (as Mike Pipper)''': Know him? He was ''delicious!''

* {{Mondegreen}}

* CelebrityResemblance: Many of the riffs remark on that Troy's father looks like NFL player [[Series/AmericanGladiators Larry Csonka]]. Also, Rowsdower does look a bit like Randy Bachman of Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

* While Gypsy work on the SOL's power, Crow and Servo take the blackout as a time to loot. Their spoils are underwhelming though.
