What do you get when you cross SCTV with Heavy Metal?

  • This exchange from the segment "Den":
    Ard: This is Norl, my bravest warrior. You will go with him to the Queen's castle and steal the Loc-Nar. Then I will give you the girl.
    Den: And if I refuse?
    Ard: If you refuse, you die, she dies, everybody dies.
    Den, narrating: Sounded reasonable to me!
    • Also, after he rescues the same gal from being sacrificed:
      (loving Fanservice shot of her bare breasts)
      Den: (voiceover) She had beautiful eyes!
    • And:
      Den: There was no way I was gonna walk around this place with my dork hanging out!
    • As the Queen's guards capture Den, one, sounding as excited as a kid on Christmas, asks for permission to slit his throat, and gushes "thank you, Your Majesty!" when she agrees. Seconds later, she has a "better idea", and orders Den to come with her, to which many of the guards roll their eyes.
      Guard with Knife: Jeez, not again.
      Guard #2: This always happens.
      Guard #3: Look, she's the Queen, she can do whatever she wants.
      Guard with Knife: [sheathing his blade] Yeah, sure.
      Guard #2: Sure.
  • Who could forget So Beautiful, So Dangerous. Here we have a normal civil (if not creepy) looking Doctor/ Corrupt Corporate Executive, trying to cover up an alien conspiracy. He loses control after trying to rape the secretary Gloria after seeing the glowing thing in between her breasts. They both get abducted and the Doctor turns out to be a robot programed by aliens. To make matters even more messed up, she ends up sleeping with another robot and decides to marry it.
    "Earth women who experience sexual ecstasy with mechanical assistance always tend to feel guilty!"
    • PROTIP: If the segment just seems sleazy and gross rather than funny, Watch It Stoned.
  • The entire Captain Sternn scene, especially when Hanover Fiste starts blurting out Sternn's transgressions under the influence of the Loc-Nar.
    "... I have never known him to do anything immoral... unless maybe the preschooler's prostitute ring!
    "... unless you count all the times he sold dope disguised as a nun!"
    • The prosecutor's reading of the charges becomes even funnier when you recognize the voice as John Vernon and think of him reading off the charges against the members of Delta House.
  • Space stoners.
    NOSE DIVE!
    • The space stoner aliens are voiced by Harold Ramis and Eugene Levy. There's something hilarious about the way Ramis casually delivers the line "[When you drive stoned] you know your perspective is fucked so you just gotta let your hands work the controls as if you're straight!" and then promptly crashes the shuttle (while Levy proclaims "Good landing, man!").
  • Although "Taarna" is otherwise one of the more serious segments, there's a certain amusing-cum-WTF element to how, in a movie named for metal music, the Bad Guy Bar has freaking Devo for its background tune.
