Film watched: ''Film/TheFinalSacrifice''

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

* TheAlcoholic: Referenced:
-->'''Crow''': "Hm, I wonder if there's beer on the sun."
-->'''Mike''': "[[CatapultNightmare I FORGOT THE LIQUOR STORES CLOSE AT 8!]]"
* ATeamFiring:
-->'''Mike (as Rowsdower):''' D'oh, I shot in between them. I got confused!
* {{Callback}}
-->"He's gonna turn into a [[Film/{{Werewolf}} warwilf!]]"
* 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?
* CatchPhrase: "Rowsdower!"
* CelebrityResemblance: Many of the riffs remark on that Troy's father looks like NFL player Larry Csonka. Also, Rowsdower does look a bit like Randy Bachman of Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
--> "Oooooh, I hates that rabbit!"
* CreditsGag: A rather lengthy one as Crow attempts to discuss pitching the movie as a [[RecycledTheSeries television series]] and Mike gets deep in character and actually acts like a real live executive...complete with [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling]].
* CurseOfTheAncients: After Mike catches "Grizzled Old Prospector Syndrome."
* EightiesHair: Turns out "Hockey Hair" is caused by an airborne virus. Who knew?
* ExecutiveMeddling: Parodied in Crow's pitch for ''Zap And Troy: The Legendary Journeys''.
* FollowTheLeader: Servo's Canada song predates "Blame Canada". TakeThat, [[SouthPark Parker and Stone]]!
* 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.
* HoYay: InUniverse, between Troy and Rowsdower.
-->'''Rowsdower''': *to his car* "Come on baby, don't let me down!"

* MemeticBadass: In-universe; Mike and the bots mix open disdain for Rowsdower with turning him into one of these.
* NoodleIncident: How Mike got Grizzled Prospector Syndrome.

"This is just like that time I almost missed the Teens Encounter Christ bus!"\\
"I haven't been this tense since Mock U.N.!"
** [[TimeSkip "Seven years later..."]]
** As mentioned in CelebrityResemblance, they bring up Larry Csonka too many times to count.

Later extended when Satoris catches fire seemingly because of it, and the bots suggest shooting ''Mike'' in the butt to find out if this is a reliable method for setting humans on fire.
