  [the scene opens on Club Obi-Wan where Willie dances and sings with a group of other female performers] 

  Nostalgia Critic : ...dancing Broadway singer, the line chorus, the tap-dancing number? Did I just pop in a copy of "That's Entertainment" by mistake? What the hell is this? Would you ever guess this is an Indiana Jones movie just by the opening?

  80s Dan : That's why it's so great! It plays with your expectations, and it catches you off-guard.

  Nostalgia Critic : But it has nothing to do with anything. I keep expecting the cast of "Blazing Saddles" to bust in!
