| Igor | comment |
A 2008 CGI animated film that spoofs and references various horror movies, most obviously Frankenstein. Set in Malaria, a country that thrives on Mad Science, and where all hunchbacks have no choice but to become Igors. The title character (voiced by John Cusack), however, has plans to break free from his station and become a Mad Scientist himself, with the help of his friends Scamper (Steve Buscemi), an immortal and suicidal rabbit, and Brain (Sean Hayes), a robot brain in a jar. Igor's attempt at creating an evil monster backfires, and he ends up creating an Ugly Cute Monster Girl named Eva (Molly Shannon), who isn't evil in the slightest and would rather be an actress.Igor's quest for glory is hampered by Dr. Schadenfreude (Eddie Izzard), who has won the Evil Science Fair every year by stealing the winning invention from an actual Mad Scientist, and who sees Eva as his ticket not just to winning, but to taking control of the kingdom from King Malbert (Jay Leno), who has a secret or two of his own. On top of that, Igor starts to develop feelings for Eva and begins to question the way the kingdom is run. Is being evil really their only option? And can a giant actress in a red dress really win the Evil Science Fair with showtunes?The film also features the voices of John Cleese, Arsenio Hall, Jennifer Coolidge, Christian Slater, among others. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| Igor / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Malaria is a population full of them, openly referring to themselves as "evil" all the time. Finding out that Malara being a dystopia thanks to "bad weather" was a lie made up by King Malbert ends up reverting everyone to normal lifestyles again, and no longer proudly refer to themselves as such. | |

Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks | |
| Igor / int_16d14f03 | comment |
Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: It shows chemistry glassware in Dr. Glickenstein's castle, though this Mad Scientist tends to use motors, metallurgy and electricity for creating monsters. Given that the nation of Malaria runs on a Mad Scientist-based economy, the chemistry setup is likely a standard-issue feature of their castles, along with a Torture Cellar and Shark Pool. One early unused poster for the movie even had the letters of the title formed out of spiraling chemical glassware. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Igor / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: King Malbert is Malaria's ruthless ruler who blackmails the world into providing the city with money when the storm from before destroyed the city's crops using the deadly inventions the city's Mad Scientists come up with as a means of threatening the world popualtion, and he is perfectly willing to kill off any Igor henchman who disappoint him by acting on their own. He's also egotistical, apathetic, impulsive, and has zero depth to his personality. To add to this, he's responsible for the rain in the first place, and made the rain happen solely so he could benefit from it. When he's exposed of his deception, he displays no remorse and vilifies Igor for exposing him. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| Igor / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: During the scene where Eva is brought to life, Scamper throws the switch before he and Brain were to do it at the count of three, much to Brain's chagrin. Later on, when they're going down the recycling chute to save Igor, Brain says they'd jump on the count of three, then shoves Scamper in before he says '3'. | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: After discovering Schadenfreude's true intentions, Igor rushes back home, intending to tell Eva the truth about the Evil Science Fair. Not seeing her when he comes in, he calls for her...and she appears at the top of the staircase, decked out in a fancy gown and practically sparkling. Igor is understandably floored. | |

Flat Character: Besides being a complete Jerkass, more than any other character in the whole film, King Malbert doesn't have much to him besides embiggening himself regarding "saving Malaria after the storm killed the town's crops". This is because he actually doesn't, as he's purely driven by greed and lied about the storm clouds in order to profit from evil inventions created by Mad Scientists. | |

Cut to Igor and Eva averting their eyes while a crash is heard and dust gathers near them. | |

Blaming the Tools: Brain has a habit of calling things stupid when actually he's to blame for the thing not satisfying him — he misspells his own name on his jar and then says, "Stupid permanent marker!" when trying to rub it off. Then, when he can't get a remote control to work, he says, "Stupid remote!", even though the whole reason it didn't work was because he dropped it in water. | |

Near-Death Experience | |
| Igor / int_5b4573b1 | comment |
Near-Death Experience: Igor, Scamper, and Brain receive one near the climax of the film in the Igor recycling chamber. The former one being the initial victim of the recycle and the lattermost being his attempting saviours (Brain reconciles Igor when Igor begins to deprecate himself, then attempts to extend his arm enough to reach the switch to disable the conveyor; Scamper then immediately does exactly what Brain wanted to do by releasing himself from the conveyor by gnawing his own feet off while Brain convinces Igor to gain the confidence to save Eva from potentially wide danger). | |

Faux Affably Evil Dr. Schadenfreude "invites" Igor to his lair, which he turns into a spa to get him to hand over Eva to him in exchange from making Igor Malaria's new evil scientist like he wants. What keeps this from being genuinely affable is how he tried to shrink Igor (even if said method is non-lethal) earlier when he could've just tried to talk him into it from the start. King Malbert, even more so. On the surface, he's a firm believer of Necessarily Evil with a charismatic showman-like personality (Hey, he is voiced by Jay Leno after all.).

Homage: The first appearance of Eva is from behind, like in the original Frankenstein movie. The blind orphans merge two characters that the monster met. The Brain Wash has a reference to the movie The Fly (1986), with the manager (Buzz Offman) and attendant (Jeff). In the scene in the sauna, Schadenfreude's igor has a Hawaiian shirt and a mustache, which is the animator's nod to Magnum, P.I. Eva standing at the top of the stairs, all dressed up, evokes Sunset Boulevard, complete with "I'm ready for my cloesup." Going back to Frankenstein, Mary Shelley referred to the monster being named "Adam". This one is named Eva. | |

Cutting the Knot: Scamper and Brain are trying to disable the king's weather device, but it's taking too long. Brain makes a comment that they'd all die except for Scamper, giving Scamper the idea to just bite into the machine, since he can't die even while being massively electrocuted to disable it. | |

Hate Sink: King Malbert destroyed all the crops in Malaria and created a system where those born with hunchbacks would become a Slave Race and the people of Malaria would create doomsday devices to blackmail the world for money. His actions lead to suffering for everyone in Malaria, and he did this all so he could boost his public image. Once everyone finds this out, he quickly becomes the most hated person in Malaria. Likewise, he serves as the person the audience can hate since he is responsible for all the evil in Malaria. | |
