Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E13 Jack Frost
Film watched: Morozko aka Jack Frost
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of:
- Alan Smithee: Mike posits that every name in the credits is Russian for this.
- Grateful Dead: "I thought Jerry Garcia was 'Father Mushroom'."
- Incredibly Lame Pun
Bear Ivan: Nastenka! What's the matter?
Crow: (as Ivan) Am I un-bear-able?
- You Fail Logic Forever: Crow's reasoning for getting a butcher named Earl Torgeson to talk about Russian folklore.
- Lolicon:
Ivan: Nastenka, darling, will you marry me?
Servo: (as Nastenka) Um, I'm nine.
- Mind Screw: Since they didn't have any knowledge of the original Russian stories blended together to form the plot, this was what Mike and the Bots' considered the film to be. Not the the scripters of the dub seemed to have any greater clue. (Calling Baba Yaga "The Hunchback Fairy"? Really?)
- No Pronunciation Guide
Crow: [during the credits] Oh, N-hykhnekh!
- Right Behind Me: Except Pearl is so evil she isn't even put off by it.
- Russian Reversal: Well, naturally, since Yakov Smirnoff (okay, a Smirnoff look-alike, but whatever) makes an appearance in one of the host segments.
- This Is Gonna Suck
Mike: ...So the first plot point involves knitting socks. I think we're in for quite a ride, guys!
- Viewers Are Geniuses: (When a rooster crows several times) Tom: "Boy, Peter must be going around denying everybody today!"
- ~What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made On Drugs?~: The crew has quite a lot of fun with these jokes when Father Mushroom shows up.
