History Pinball / RedAndTedsRoadShow

* ShoutOut: The "Rubber Nose" souvenir is a caricature of Creator/RogerSharpe, the pinball player who overturned New York City's ban on pinball machines.

** The instrumental bridge of [[DoItYourselfThemeTune Carlene Carter's "Every Little Thing"]] plays during multiball; hitting a jackpot (or entering Super Payday) plays the song's final chorus.

* RealSongThemeTune: Carlene Carter's "Every Little Thing", which plays during Payday, any of the West Coast City Events and Super Payday.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Pinball/FunHouse1990''.

* RealSongThemeTune: Carlene Carter's "Every Little Thing".

* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: If no multiball jackpots are scored, intensified music plays as the player is prompted to shoot the main lock.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Subverted; when Multiball is started, it sounds like Ted is choking on the ball similar to Rudy, but he ends up swallowing it.

* WizardMode: Super Payday, available at any of the West Coast cities. Lock two balls before time runs out and Ted will slam the bulldozer's blade down, which [[EarthShatteringKaboom shatters the Earth(!)]] This is followed by a multiball frenzy with everything lit for maximum points.

It was designed by Creator/PatLawlor, Dwight Sullivan, and Ted Estes, with artwork by Creator/JohnYoussi. Country singer Carlene Carter provides the voice of "Red"; Tim Kitzrow (of NBA Jam fame) voices "Ted".

Players have mixed feelings about ''Road Show''. On the one hand, it's a solid pinball game, with lots of depth and humor to keep players entertained. On the other hand, it feels like an evolutionary amalgamation of Creator/PatLawlor's earlier games, especially ''Pinball/FunHouse1990'' -- but following blockbusters like ''Pinball/TheAddamsFamily'' and ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'' is [[ToughActToFollow a challenge for anyone]]. Regardless, ''Red & Ted's'' blue-collar humor resonated with a lot of players, and the table remains highly popular in truck stops and rural establishments.

** Fittingly, the alien fleet invading Seattle--as well as the robots that show up in New Orleans--are the Invaders from ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'', right down to the same sound effects.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: ''[-Pinball/FunHouse1990-] + [-Pinball/TheAddamsFamily-] + [-Pinball/TheTwilightZone-] = [-Road Show-]''

* ArtEvolution: Compared to Rudy from ''Pinball/FunHouse'', Red and Ted's "[=PinMation=]" heads feature more detail, including eyelashes and hair.

** Given the game's status as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Pinball/FunHouse'', it should come as no surprise that there are several references to that game:

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Pinball/FunHouse''.

-->'''Red:''' [[Pinball/FunHouse You big cheeseburger!]]

** An instrumental version of Carlene Carter's "Every Little Thing" plays during multiball; hitting a jackpot adds the vocals for the chorus.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: One of the souvenirs is [[{{Zonk}} a picture plate with a cow on it]].

* IAteWhat: Invoked whenever you shoot a pinball into either Red or Ted's mouths.
-->'''Red:''' Bleah! How can you eat those things?

* CelebrityVoiceActor: Carlene Carter.

* GoodOlBoy[=/=]HeroicComedicSociopath: Red and Ted.

** VendorTrash[=/=]WeBuyAnything: Going to the Trading Post in Albuquerque lets you sell (some of) the souvenirs for more points than you paid for them.

* [[TakeThatAudience Take That Player]]:

** Alternately, plunge the ball into Bob´s Bunker before hitting anything else to get the Secret Skill Shot, "Bob's Lotto".

* ScoreMultiplier: Earned by shooting either the left ramp or the right orbit after passing through the opposite inlane. Doing this while the bonus multiplier is maxed at 6X will light Extra Ball (though this can only be done once per game).

* {{Determinator}}: The taxicab driver, who's out to get revenge on Ted for smashing his cab in New York.

** VendorTrash[=/=]WeBuyAnything: Going to the Trading Post in Albuquerque lets you sell (some of) the souvenirs for more points than you paid for them. A few can be sold to light/award extra balls or specials.

* WeWillMeetAgain: The cabbie makes this threat at the end of the New York City mode. He makes good on it in Houston and Salt Lake City.

-->'''Ted:''' ''[[WolfWhistle (wolf whistles)]]''

* WolfWhistle: Expect to hear this rather often from Ted.

* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: Going to New Orleans lands the duo in the middle of a parade, and Ted decides to clear the pedestrians in the most expedient way possible.
--> '''Ted:''' "I knew I should've brought more than one T-shirt."

* WeWillMeetAgain: The cabbie makes this threat at the end of New York City mode. He makes good on it in Houston and Salt Lake City.

* WeSellEverything: Bob's Souvenir Shack.

* KitschCollection: Ted's tacky souvenirs.

** VendorTrash[=/=]WeBuyAnything: Going to the Trading Post in Albuquerque lets you sell (some of) the souvenirs for more points than you paid for them.

* NoBodyLeftBehind: Minnesota's "Frozen People" round specifically states not to shoot the Blast Zone. If you do, whichever people who are still frozen will disintegrate.

** [[spoiler: Pressing both flipper buttons when the marquee at Bob's Bunker reads "Uranium Ore $3/chuck" activates Construction Mania.]]

* FauxHorrific: In Nashville, Red freaks out about ''talk radio''.

* TheTaxi: One of the first encounters is with an irate taxi driver in New York City. He returns several times throughout the game to get revenge.

* WeWillMeetAgain: The cabbie makes this threat at the end of New York City mode.

* WizardMode: Super Payday, available at any of the West Coast cities. Lock two balls, then Ted slams the bulldozer's blade, which [[EarthShatteringKaboom shatters the Earth(!)]] This is followed by a multiball frenzy with everything lit for maximum points.

* {{Zonk}}: A majority of souvenirs can either boots a player's end-of-ball bonus (based on visited cities) or can result in extra balls. However, souvenirs like rubber noses, a root beer mug, and salt-and-pepper shakers are joke items that are worth nothing of value (though they can be sold at a profit in Albuquerque if your bonus multiplier is high enough).

** An instrumental version of Carlene Carter's "Every Little Thing" plays during multiball; hitting a jackpot has Carlene actually singing the song.

** Having certain souvenirs after visiting certain cities will award additional bonus points at the end of each ball (for example, having the Suntan Lotion after playing through Miami). Notably, the bonuses stack, so having multiples of a souvenir can pay off huge if you've visited the right cities.

*** Starting multiball is near-identical to ''[=FunHouse=]'', with the ball entering Ted's mouth... only for him to [[ExtremOmnivore eat it]] instead of spitting it back out.** Los Angeles' mode is nicknamed "Pinball/{{Earthshaker}}", and you get to hear Red imitate the TitleScream at the end of the mode.

* CelebrityStar[=/=]CelebrityVoiceActor: Carlene Carter.

-->''***BOOM!***''

-->'''Red:''' Hey look Ted, aliens!

* MythologyGag:

---> '''Officer:''' "Okay, buddy, pull over now!"
** In Kansas City, the broadcaster warning about the tornado is from Creator/PatLawlor's ''Pinball/{{Whirlwind}}''.
---> "The storm is coming ... return to your homes."
** Fittingly, the alien fleet invading Seattle--as well as the robots that show up in New Orleans--are the Invaders from ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'', right down to the same sound effects.
** One of the signs outside of Bob's Bunker says [[Pinball/{{FunHouse}} "Frenzy? Bwa ha ha ha!"]]
*** Collecting the Lunch Time bonus shows a weinermobile on the DMD with the point bonus. Or, in other words: "It's lunch time! Get yourself a hotdog!"
*** Red is essentially Rudy's DistaffCounterpart, with many of her lines echoing his.
** The "Rubber Nose" souvenir is a caricature of Creator/RogerSharpe, the pinball player who overturned New York City's ban on pinball machines.
** Los Angeles' mode is nicknamed "Pinball/{{Earthshaker}}", and you get to hear Red imitate the TitleScream at the end of the mode.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with the start of multiball; it starts out identically to ''Pinball/FunHouse''... but then Ted [[ExtremeOmnivore swallows the ball]] instead of spitting it out.
** The Jackpot animation is the same as the Super Jackpot animation in ''Pinball/TheGetawayHighSpeed2''.
