King's Quest V: Difference between revisions

** Similarly, Slowbeef and Diabetus of [[Retsupurae]] [[MST|riffed on a longplay of the game]]<ref>which was made specifically for them to comment over</ref>, mocking the puzzles in the game, the voice acting, and (of course) [[The Scrappy|Cedric]].

* [[The Load]]: Cedric does absolutely nothing of any worth throughout the game (other than warning you about the [[Memetic Mutation|POOOOOOOOOOISONOUS snake]] and other hazards you can clearly see on your own, sometimes when it's too late to do anything about them,) and at a few points even has to be rescued.

* [[The Maze]]: There are two.

** The desert: If you walk more than five screens without drinking water, you die. There are three oases, and three screens you have to visit, and the only way to find them is by wandering. The desert is possible to navigate, but only if you make up your own map.

** Lampshaded by Paw in his "Let's Play", when he hears a cartoony sound effect made when {{spoiler|the blue alien slips and falls on the peas on the floor}}.

{{quote| '''Paw:''' "Oh, it had to play [[The Flintstones]] sound. Like it wasn't stupid enough!"}}

* [[Only Idiots May Pass]]: You'd think that getting caught in Mordack's castle and taken to prison would be something you'd want to avoid... You'd be gravely mistaken! Earlier, Graham had to get locked up by an uncouth innkeeper, too.

* [[Open Sesame]]: It's even the password.

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: The Genie, and presumably {{spoiler|the witch}} after being defeated.

* [[Shapeshifter Showdown]]: The finale.

* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: If you click the "Talk" icon on the (''pOI''sonous) snake, it tells you to "Sssssstay back!" Also, Mordack's snake form in the final battle.

* [[Solve the Soup Cans]]: The entire first half of the game. What is Graham's incentive for exploring the desert or the dark forest considering that he needs to travel through the mountains?

* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: At the start of the game, Crispin has Graham eat a piece of white snake (no, not [[Whitesnake (Music)|Whitesnake]]) that allows him to speak with animals.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Unlike in the earlier games in the series, Graham can no longer swim.

* [[Taken for Granite]]: Cedric, {{spoiler|via Mordack's weakened wand magic,}} near the end of the PC version and any other adaptation ''except'' the PC CD-ROM adaptation ({{spoiler|where he just gets killed}}). Of course, if you didn't save Cedric from the harpies, you'll end up in this example too. In either game console version either way, he is the only reason for...

{{quote| '''Crispin''': [[Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue|Skies are blue, Roses are red / Make Cedric alive, not dead!]]}}

* [[Running Gag]]: See also [[Verbal Tic]]. Also, "Crispin's spells suck!"

* [[The Stinger]]: Revealing {{spoiler|Manannan's whereabouts}}.

{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Manannan}}''': "I'll have my revenge, Graham! You'll see! One day, I'll pee in your shoes!!"}}

* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: The Ice Queen speaks with an emotionless, manly voice. Cassima too has a male-sounding voice. Justified by the tiny cast.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: "[[Blatant Lies|Everyone know that flying beings hate tigers!]]"

{{quote| '''Graham''': "Cedric! Fetch me the snake-repealling {{spoiler|tambourine}}!"}}
