Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E02 Hercules
Film watched: Hercules
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of:
- Call Back: "Where is the Sampo?"
- What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: At one point Servo creates new constellations to reflect modern ideals. Crow, in a deliberate invocation of this trope, pitches in with a constellation consisting of two stars: "It's a pencil; the eraser's almost gone!"
Servo: Crow, don't mock me, you're playing with fire! |
- Servo's one to complain; his "ham sammach" constellation (with a single star forming a "perfect pickle") wasn't much better.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: parodied when Servo, during the closing credits, spins an elaborate account of Hercules and Iole's Not So Glamorous Ever After.
