History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S06E14SanFranciscoInternational

* {{Bowdlerize}}: "Oh, it's a made-for-TV hippie!"

-->'''Servo:''' ''(dazed)'' No more with the board. Please, Mister, don't hit me with the board again.

* TakeThat: The RunningGag of Mike impersonating ''Series/FamilyMatters'''s {{breakout|Character}} DropInCharacter Steve Urkel during the host segments are basically one big jab at the immense popularity of the {{Nerd}}y Urkel at the time and how (in the show's eyes)[[invoked]] [[HypeBacklash undeserved the acclaim was]]. Mike's Urkel impression is [[StylisticSuck deliberately one-note and repetitive]] yet still leaves everyone gasping for more.

** When Creator/CluGulager appeared in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E24MasterNinjaII Master Ninja II]]'', the cast mistakenly called him "Clu ''Gallagher''", and were astonished to realize his name was actually Gulager later on, the reason Crow exclaims, "Clu ''Gulager''? [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude What kind of last name]] is ''Gulager''?!"

** Crow and Tom suggest various sexy things to do with Tab Hunter ("I'd like to run a tab... all over my body!"), but one crack got past the censors:

-->'''Mike:''' Uh, sir? I should let you know Creator/LloydBridges is replacing you when we go to series.

* PlankGag: Mike {{Lampshades}} and {{Invoke|dTrope}}s the trope, demonstrating it to the 'bots. Unfortunately, he does far more damage to them than he planned.

-->'''Mr. Woodruff:''' (Dana Elcar ChewingTheScenery as an outraged, hippie-hating businessman) You haven't heard the last of me.\\

** And then, later, as Jim and Davey fly over the city:
---> '''Crow:''' ''(as Jim)'' Davey, all those people down there are getting divorced because of you.
** They get downright ''abusive'' with Davey just for being Davey.
--->'''Servo:''' ''(as Jim)'' Davey, when you die, a great nothingness awaits you.
** The [[{{Gonk}} ugliness]] of Robert Sorrells and his ears.

*** It achieves BrickJoke status when Forrester's [[UnusualEars ears keep growing larger and hairier]] from shot to shot during the final host segment, until they're each bigger than his whole head.

* TheStoner: The crew assume Hatten is interested in the "Made for TV" hippie because he desperately needs to score some marijuana.

** Later:
--->'''Crow:''' Here's your script. You'll be playing Black Woman On Plane.

* TakeThat: The RunningGag of Mike impersonating ''Series/FamilyMatters'''s BreakoutCharacter Steve Urkel host segments are basically one big jab at the immense popularity of the {{Nerd}}y Urkel at the time and how (in the show's eyes)[[invoked]] [[HypeBacklash undeserved the acclaim was]]. Mike's Urkel impression is [[StylisticSuck deliberately one-note and repetitive]] yet still leaves everyone gasping for more.

---->'''Mike:''' ''(as made-for-TV hippie William)'' The answer, my friend, is, "Blow it out your ass!"

* ActorAllusion: The crew gets a lot of mileage over the casting of Pernell Roberts. [[invoked]]
-->'''Conrad:''' Had it been real...
-->'''Servo:''' ''(as Conrad)'' ... I wouldn't have done ''Trapper John''.

-->'''Mike:''' ''(as VIP, to Conrad)'' I've never spanked a [[Series/{{Gunsmoke}} member of the Ponderosa]]...
* BlackComedy: The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' crew's riffs as Pernell Roberts tries to teach Davey how to land the plane he accidentally took into the sky get ''dark.'' Perhaps none are darker than Servo's, "Davey, when you die, a great nothingness awaits you."

* CallBack: "[[Film/WarriorOfTheLostWorld MEGAWEAPON!]]"

* DullSurprise: The general reaction to the plane in trouble [[spoiler: (or not)]] during the opening credits.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Crow and Tom suggest various sexy things to do with Tab Hunter ("I'd like to run a tab... all over my body!"), but one crack got past the censors:
-->'''Crow:''' Hey, what do you say we ''split'' that Tab?
** When Tab Hunter leaves the men's room Tom says "That was a ''très bien merde''", the italicized words meaning "very good shit" in French.
** Somehow they got ''this'' line past the censors:
--->'''Mike:''' ''(as made-for-TV hippie William)'' The answer, my friend, is, "Blow it out your ass!"
*** It should be noted that while ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' didn't exist yet, Creator/ComedyCentral at the time had already become an increasingly ribald network. By the standards of other shows they had at the time, these quips were positively tame.

-->'''Jim:''' Now pull it out halfway.
-->'''Crow:''' The THROTTLE!

--> "Davey, no!"\\
"Daaaaaaaaveeeeeeey!"

* LargeHam: Dana Elcar as the outraged, hippie-hating Mr. Woodruff.
* MythologyGag: When Clu Gulager appeared in ''Master Ninja II'', the cast mistakenly called him "Clu ''Gallagher''", and were astonished to realize his name was actually Gulager later on, the reason Crow exclaims, "Clu ''Gulager''? [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude What kind of last name]] is ''Gulager''?!"

-->'''Mike:''' Uh, sir? I should let you know Lloyd Bridges is replacing you when we go to series.

* PlankGag: Mike {{Lampshades}} and [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] the Trope, demonstrating it to the 'bots. Unfortunately, he does far more damage to them than he planned.
-->'''Crow:''' I'm... I'm seeing a light, Mike. I'm going down a long hallway and I see a light. Is that you with me, Jesus?

-->'''Mr. Woodruff:''' You haven't heard the last of me.
-->'''Mike:''' ''(as Woodruff)'' Just wait til we go to series!
* RunningGag: Mike and the 'bots are constantly implying that the divorce is all Davey's fault and that nobody loves him.
--> '''Tina Scott:''' ''(to Davey)'' It's just that sometimes married people--
--> '''Mike:''' ''(as Tina)'': --break up because of their kids.
--> '''Tina:''' --simply have to live apart for a while.
--> '''Servo:''' ''(as Tina)'' Apart from their kids, I mean.
--> '''Davey:''' You're going to get a divorce.
--> '''Mike:''' ''(as Tina)'' Yes, and ''I'' don't want custody.
--> '''Tina:''' That hasn't been decided.
--> '''Crow:''' ''(as Tina)'' Although because of you, it's very likely.
--> '''Davey:''' Do we have to go now?
--> '''Servo:''' ''(as Tina) You'' have to go now.
** And then, later, as Jim and Davey fly over the city:
---> '''Crow:''' ''(as Jim)'' Davey, all those people down there are getting divorced because of you.
** They get downright ''abusive'' with Davey just for being Davey.
--->'''Servo:''' ''(as Jim)'' Davey, when you die, a great nothingness awaits you.
** Pernell's hairpiece.
** The ugliness of Robert Sorrells and his ears.
--->'''Mike:''' He's a ''handsome'' rat.
*** It achieves BrickJoke status when Forrester's ears keep growing larger and hairier from shot to shot during the final host segment.

* TheSeventies: "I'm gonna check out what's going on over on the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_O Harry-O]]'' set."
* ShirtlessScene: Funnily enough, Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank in the first segment.
* ShoutOut: In one of the riffs, Crow asks "So, where's George Kennedy in all of this?", a reference to Kennedy's recurring role as Joe Patroni in the ''Film/{{Airport}}'' movies. This sort of serves a host of ironies, since one of the inspirations for ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' was ''Airport'', and Lloyd Bridge's character in ''Airplane!'' was a riff on the role he'd play in the series itself when he took over for Pernell Roberts.
** Also, hilariously enough, there's a shout out to ''Film/{{Mazes and Monsters}}'' of all things, with Crow (as Davey) partially reenacting the [[{{Narm}} infamous]] "blood on my knife" scene when he's flying the plane.
* StandardSnippet: Well, standard for this show, anyway; Part of Frank & Forrester's "construction worker" cliche is the blasting of loud rock music; longtime fans will quickly recognize the generic pseudo-HairMetal riff playing in the background.

* StylisticSuck / TakeThat: The Urkel host segments were basically one big jab at the immense popularity of Urkel at the time and how (in the show's eyes) [[HypeBacklash undeserved the acclaim was]]. Mike's Urkel impression is deliberately one-note and repetitive yet still leaves everyone gasping for more.

* TokenMinority:
-->'''Mike:''' ''(to Frank Davis)'' And thank you, Token!

* BlackComedy: The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' crew's riffs as Pernell Roberts tries to teach Davey how to land the plane he accidentally took into the sky get ''dark.'' Perhaps none are darker than Crow's, "Davey, I need to know where your dental records are."

* ShoutOut: In one of the riffs, Crow asks "So, where's George Kennedy in all of this?", a reference to Kennedy's recurring role as Joe Patroni in the ''Film/{{Airport}}'' movies.

* OnlySaneMan: After an increasing number of guests from previous episodes show up to laugh hysterically at Mike's Urkel impression, [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] shuffles into Deep 13 to proclaim that he's "[=nEvER BEeN a bIg URkEl FAn=]"; the moment immediately collapses as the guests find other things to do.

-->'''Conrad:''' Had there ''been'' an emergency...

* TakeThat: The Urkel host segments were basically one big jab at the immense popularity of Urkel at the time and how (in the show's eyes) [[HypeBacklash undeserved the acclaim was]].

* TheStoner: The crew assume Hatten is interested in the "Made for TV" hippie is that he desperately needs to score some marijuana.

-->--'''The Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide'''

!!The [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] treatment has examples of:

* BlackComedy: The MST3K crew's riffs as Pernell Roberts tries to teach Davey how to land the plane he accidentally took into the sky get ''dark.'' Perhaps none are darker than Crow's, "Davey, I need to know where your dental records are."

* TheVietnamWar:
--> '''Davey''' (as he packs up his things): Mom, I don't want to go. You know what I mean.
--> '''Tina:''' Yes, I know what you mean.
--> '''Crow''' (as Tina): But they need you in Vietnam.
** Before Mike interrupts with his Urkel impression, Crow argues to Servo that "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" is about this.

* OverlyLongGag: Mike Nelson does an impression of [[Series/FamilyMatters Steve Urkel]] during all three host segments.

* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] Pointed out by Crow.
-->'''Crow:''' Uh, Lloyd Bridges is replacing you when we go to series.

* BlackComedy: The MST3K crew's riffs as Pernell Roberts tries to teach Davey how to land the plane he accidentally took into the sky get ''dark.'' Perhaps none are darker than Mike's, "Davey, I need to know where your dental records are."
