I think my favorite was the part about the Outer Burial Chamber, the
temple of worship at the glass-faced altar, where the celebrant reclines
on a cushioned dais, gazing into the crystal, occasionally getting up to
summon the gods by slamming his hand on the side of the altar:
apparently there were handprints on the side of the TV, where irate
motel guests had slammed it, hoping to improve reception.

That, and the early scene where the head of the expedition looks though
the little peephole in the motel-room door, which is a spoof of Howard
Carter's opening of the tomb of Tutankhamen. "Yes! Things...wonderful
things!"  

Adamantius
