History Recap / MischiefMovieNightInS03E02WildFeast

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: 'Scotland' is consistently pronounced as Scod-o-LAYND. Vaguely justified by them all being [[FakeAmerican Fake Americans]].

* ArcWords: “(Always) have fun in life”, which winds up being the philosophy Tommy and Mr Pickles use to cure the zombies.

* {{Corpsing}}: Marie laughing while telling her family to shoot her in the head. See below.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The pretty serious sequence following Marie and Mr Pickles’ infection, in which the heros are forced to MercyKill them both. In front of their young son. If the cast didn’t laugh at Nancy’s delivery, they laughed at Stitch Junior’s tearful reaction.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: The last time Tommy and Stitch saw each other was a dark occasion, but it is never said what specifically it was that led to them being split up on bad terms. Tommy’s past in general is this too; he was apparently a “dark man indeed” when last Stitch saw him, and has changed a lot since getting a wife and kids. This does not come up again after the first scene.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to most MMNI episodes. Oscar, despite accepting ZombieApocalypse as a genre, complains about this multiple times - the cast consistently turn his attempts to fix it into BlackComedy.
* DawsonCasting: Inevitable when kids appear in MMNI, but parodied in Stitch Junior’s case.
-->'''Tommy:''' You're a small boy right now.
-->'''Stitch Jr:''' [[BlatantLies I'm so little!]]
* DeathIsCheap: After the typical MMNI bloodbath, practically everyone ends up okay because of the Stitch family’s immunity and Tommy’s zombie cure, including non-zombies who were eaten or ''shot''. The hereditary zombie immunity apparently lets Tommy come back from [[ExaggeratedTrope having had all his organs ripped out]].

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Tommy’s grand entrance.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Given Rambo’s reaction, Mr Tickles is this to the zombies.
* FreudianExcuse: For Rambo and Six (and potentially the zombies at large) who believe themselves abandoned by society and their families, in regards to both their general violence and specifically kidnapping Stitch Junior.
-->'''Rambo:''' [''to Stitch''] You didn’t protect me! You didn’t look after me!
-->'''Six:''' That's right. Everybody abandoned us, so you know what? We’re gonna take him and look after him the way that ''we'' should have been looked after!

--> '''Stitch:''' I didn’t mean to upset the boy.
--> '''Tommy:''' Well, you just shot his mother.

* MeaningfulEcho: “Don’t let him get in your head” is said by both Rambo and Stitch about one another to their respective [[MoralityPet Morality Pets]], showing how similar they still are.
* MemeticMolester: In-universe, how Stitch first views Mr Pickles and his tickles. Oscar quickly demands that this be averted.
--> '''Stitch:''' What makes me think Fergus has just got out of prison?

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to eleven]]. These zombies are [[RevenantZombie sentient, vengeful]], musical, nocturnal, curable, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and have seen Hamilton]]. At least one of them has WolverineClaws.
* ParentalAbandonment: Rambo’s backstory and StartOfDarkness from his ParentalSubstitute Stitch.

--> '''Stitch:''' I know the meaning of the word "kill" so deeply that it haunts my dreams.

* PlayingAgainstType: Dave as a serious, mean villain.
* PsychopathicManchild: Downplayed with Rambo, who is impulsive and violent, and can only describe Stitch as a “bad, bad man” and gets [[TraumaButton surprisingly emotional]] ''[[TraumaButton very]]'' [[TraumaButton quickly]] when confronted with him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] given that he was turned undead young and it's implied that he returns to his original age once cured.
--> '''Stitch:''' I still see the eyes of a frightened young man who doesn’t know where his mommy and daddy are.

--> '''Stitch:''' I’ve been on the run now for near on [[CatchPhrase ten years]].
--> '''Tommy:''' How long you been on the run now? [[RepeatToConfirm Ten years]]?
--> '''Stitch:''' [[RepeatedForEmphasis Ten years]], that's right.
--> '''Barkeep:''' Stitch! Have you been on the run for… [[PhraseCatcher Ten years]]?
--> '''Stitch:''' I've been on the run for [[OverlyLongGag ten years]]…

* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Dave as the moon. '''“[[UnsoundEffect SHINE!]]”'''
* ShoutOut: It's a [[TheWestern Western]], so Nancy adds a few obligatory [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]] whistles pretty early on. The rap number contains Theatre/{{Hamilton}} references, and [[Theatre/TickTickBoom tick, tick... BOOM!]] is name-dropped. The zombies herald their arrival with [[Film/TheGrudge Grudge noises]].

-->'''Stitch''': What are you? Seven?
-->'''Stitch Jr''': [[LampshadeHanging Something like that.]]
* TheWeirdWest: The genre. Technically TheWestern was what was suggested, but with the all zombies and talking horses, the show definitely developed more into Weird West territory.

* YouSeeImDying: In the first scene Tommy tells Stitch that he’s unwell and hasn’t got long to live, which is why he's sought Stitch out to reconcile. Nothing ever comes of this.

* TheExpyWithNoName: By nature of being a parody of Westerns, the film includes a few references to the Film/DollarsTrilogy, so naturally Stitch is a mysterious, self-serious, morally grey, gun-toting badass on the run with the obligitory cowboy voice.

* TheExpyWithNoName: By nature of being a parody of Westerns, the film includes a few references to the Film/DollarsTrilogy, and so, fittingly enough, Stitch is a mysterious, self-serious, morally grey, gun-toting badass on the run with the obligitory cowboy voice.

* TheWestern: The genre, kind of. Technically its TheWeirdWest, what with the zombies and talking horses everywhere.

* MyGreatestFailure: Stitch is still haunted by letting Rambo be taken by the zombies, and even tried to kill himself immediately afterwards.

* KnightInSourArmour: [[TheExpyWithNoName Stitch]] towards his family, the town, and [[MyGreatestFailure Rambo]].

* UndeadChild: Rambo, [[YMMV potentially]]. No one treats him this way except Stitch, but he was turned undead young and it's implied that he returns to his original age once cured, and he may well have been physically and emotionally that age the whole time.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: Six is nowhere near as angsty as Rambo, and much more excitable and energetic. She's also quick to give up evil once the prospect of a cure comes up.

* PsychopathicManchild: Downplayed with Rambo, who is impulsive and violent, and can only describe Stitch as a “bad, bad man” and gets [[TraumaButton surprisingly emotional]] ''[[TraumaButton very]]'' [[TraumaButton quickly]] when confronted with him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] given that he was turned undead young and seems to return to roughly that age once cured.

* RunningGag: Stitch will tell anyone and everyone that he has been on the run for [[CatchPhrase ten years]]. He gets a few StopSayingThat moments from Tommy, but that doesn’t stop him (or the rest of the cast, who never hesitate to mention that he has been gone for… [[SelfDemonstratingArticle ten years]]).
--> '''Stitch:''' I’ve been on the run now for near on [[BrokenRecord ten years]].

* UndeadChild: Rambo, potentially. No one treats him this way except Stitch, but he was turned young and it's implied he returns to his original age once cured, and he may well have been physically and emotionally that age the whole time.

* YouSeeImDying: In the first scene Tommy tells Stitch that he’s unwell and hasn’t got long to live, which is why he's sought Stitch out to reconcile.

-->'''Stitch Jr''': Something like that.

* YouSeeImDying: In the first scene, Tommy tells Stitch that he’s unwell and hasn’t got long to live, which is why he's sought Stitch out now to reconcile.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: The last time Tommy and Stitch saw each other was a dark occasion, but it is never said what specifically it was that led to them being split up on bad terms. Tommy’s past in general is this too; he was apparently a “dark man indeed” when last Stitch saw him, and has changed a lot since getting a wife and kids. He also says [[YouSeeImDying he’s unwell and hasn’t got long to live]]. None of this comes up again after the first scene.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: Nancy sings the iconic hook of the [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]] theme multiple times, but only ever the first half.

* PsychopathicManchild: Downplayed with Rambo, who is impulsive and violent, and can only describe Stitch as a “bad, bad man” and gets [[TraumaButton surprisingly emotional ''very'' quickly]] when confronted with him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] given that he was turned undead young and seems to return to roughly that age once cured.

* EliteZombie: Rambo, who rips people’s hearts out with his bare hands and [[NoSell No-Sells]] everything in Stitch Jrs zombie pack.

* ButtMonkey: As usual, Harry Kershaw is this both in and out of universe. During social media corner, Dave declares that the "most difficult entrance" award will be done by just throwing Harry on stage and seeing what happens. Oddly enough, [[JokeAndReceive that ''is'' exactly how it happens. Twice]].

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The cut to a talking animal bridge game during a zombie apocalypse film.

* BreakThemByTalking: Rambo and Six try to coax Stitch Junior into letting them turn him by giving a long spiel about his strength and potential and the prospect of eternal life. Presumably they wanted him to come willingly to hurt Stitch, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation unless they were being completely genuine in their]] FreudianExcuse [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation of wanting to protect the young and abandoned]]. They later lampshade that [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim they probably should have just turned him when they could]].
