Feels like it was quickly plucked from near the end of the movie without much thought. The stinger in this one is rather unsatisfying.The ending sketch is one of those sketches about not doing a sketch.In segment 3, Mike crawls up in front of the “hatch.” First (and last) time for that, I think.What is with the HUGE front door on the house in this movie? Very weird.Firesign Theatre reference: Crow refers to “Arnie’s Whole Beef Halves.”.Mike and Servo take another brief swing around the dance floor, something they haven’t done since 612- Starfighters.Obscure reference: Tom invokes Earl Camenbert, a character from “SCTV.”.(And there were some in previous seasons! For a complete list, visit Ward E.) From this point forward, they will be referred to as “Daleisms.” There were a total of 12 “Dale” riffs this season, and there were Dale riffs in 11 consecutive episodes beginning in episode 805- THE THING THAT COULDN’T DIE.But the writers thought they were making a reference to the Ivory Liquid commercials. There were apparently never any Ivory Liquid commercials in which a character said “I thought you were Dale!” And the Grape Nuts commercial in which that line was spoken had nothing to do with hands. At around the same time, there was also a commercial for Grape Nuts, in which a teenage boy mistakes teenage girl Dale’s mother for Dale and utters the deathless line: “I thought you were Dale!” Best Brains only vaguely remembered these two completely unrelated commercials, and apparently mixed them up in their minds.
Leech woman series#
Back in the 1970s, there was a series of commercials for Ivory dishwashing liquid, in which mothers were mistaken for their daughters, because the mom used Ivory and so her hands were young-looking. This ep contains the first of what would be a running gag for most of the season: As Mala looks at her hands after becoming young, Tom says “I thought I was Dale!” What does this mean? Well, It’s actually a complicated goof, and thereby hangs a tale.In segment two, we once again get hints at how Tom spent his time at the edge of the universe.Kevin sings a little Zappa, when the soundtrack sounds like “Moving to Montana.”.The voices are Kevin and Paul as Ned and Wade again, along with Mary Jo as Jody. Segment one is more clever than funny, but it’s such a change from the sort of host segment we used to get in the CC days that it’s kind of mesmerizing.Trivia: The African wildlife scenes were reused footage from Universal’s 1954 movie “Tanganyika.”.The “original Ray Kroc” was a popular piece of Universal set decoration - it was also on Exeter’s office wall in “This Island Earth.”.His mannerisms and his delivery are great. Kevin is particularly funny in the intro.Bill’s version of Crow’s voice is still all over the map in this one, but for the first time we begin to hear little snippets of the voice we would soon get to know.This episode is included in “Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection: The 25th Anniversary Edition, (aka Vol.Read Kevin’s take on this episode here.Maybe it’s because you can really see them settling in and really feel them enjoying themselves. The last time through, I put this one in the good-not-great category, but, again, I guess I was in the right frame of mind for this - I laughed a LOT this time.Leech Woman lives on Goji Island in the Goji Island Timeline.These leeches seem to be either more powerful than normal leeches, they're simply magic or poisonous, as they can kill humans fairly quickly. Leech Woman can vomit poisonous leeches from her mouth.

As a puppet, Leech Woman is usually calm and only attacks targets that are already helpless, many times not fighting at all. After reanimating Elsa in her doll and seeing what pain and shock she was in, Toulon pushed a leech into her mouth, transforming her into the seductive hag-like puppet she is usually seen as ( Whether this is the fault of the leech, or whether this is what Elsa truly was like on the inside is unknown ).
