History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S06E14SanFranciscoInternational

* KickTheDog: As if it wasn't bad enough that he got beaten to near-death by the plank, but once Movie Sign goes off, Mike ''hucks" Crow to the side.

* BlackComedy: The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' crew's riffs as Pernell Roberts tries to teach Davey how to land the plane he accidentally takes to the sky get ''dark.''
-->'''Servo:''' ''[as Davey]'' I'm gonna splatter myself all over the tarmac to impress Dad!

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

* The Mads become manly construction workers, blaring hard rock as they spruce up Deep 13. This inspires Mike to pull the old “turning board in the face” gag with the 'Bots.

* Tom and Crow hold a debate about politics, with Mike acting as moderator.

* The Mads spruce up Deep 13 as manly construction workers, inspiring Mike to pull the old “turning board” gag with the Bots.

* Mike dresses up as and impersonates [[Series/FamilyMatters Steve Urkel]], sending the Bots and the Mads into hysterics.

* Mike continues his Urkel impression as characters from past episodes join in the laughter.

* Mike is STILL continuing his Urkel impression, and everyone is STILL laughing non-stop. [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] shambles in and admits that he’s never been a big Urkel fan, effectively killing the bit.

* Mike and the Bots read letters, including one containing a picture of an ancient cave drawing that resembles Crow. Dr. Forrester’s ears seem to be growing at an accelerated rate.

* KickTheDog: As if it wasn't bad enough that he got beaten to near-death by the plank, but once Movie Sign goes off, Mike ''hucks Crow'' to the side.
* MrFanservice: Dr. F. as a shirtless construction worker. Complete with Deep 13 tattoo on his chest. Mmmmmm...

* FanDisservice: Shirtless, sunburned Forrester and Frank as they do construction work (although Forrester is surprisingly buff).

-->'''Crow:''' I'm... I'm [[GoIntoTheLight seeing a light]], Mike. I'm going down a long hallway and I see a light. Is that you with me, Jesus?
-->'''Servo:''' ''[dazed, SimpletonVoice]'' No more with the board. Please, mister, don't hit me with the board again.

* TakeThat: The RunningGag of Mike impersonating ''Series/FamilyMatters''' {{breakout|Character}} DropInCharacter Steve Urkel during the host segments are basically one big jab at the immense popularity of the nerdy 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.[[note]]And as a double layer of subtext, Mike wanted to call it quits early on, but only continued at Crow and Tom's prompting, not unlike how Urkel was originally meant to be a one-off character.]][[/note]]

** The host segments feature return appearances from characters including [[Film/TheBrainThatWouldntDie Jan in the Pan]], [[Film/SantaClaus1959 Santa Claus and Pitch]], [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E24TwelveToTheMoon Nuveena]], and of course [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] (who brings the room down as usual).

* HarsherInHindsight: Following the 2000s Boston Globe series of stories on how priests with reports of inappropriate conduct towards children were handled by the Catholic Church, the line [[PedophilePriest "You know, all the Church will do is move this guy to another parish,"]] hits a little different.

->''The focal point of this failed TV pilot is the astounding pomposity and self-absorption of Pernell Roberts. He plays an airport administrator. You'd think that's a pretty mundane job and you'd be right, but Pernell struts and preens like balding cock-of-the-walk."

* Mike dresses up as and impersonates Steve Urkel, sending the Bots and the Mads into hysterics.

* Mike is STILL continuing his Urkel impression, and everyone is STILL laughing non-stop. Torgo shambles in and admits that he’s never been a big Urkel fan, effectively killing the bit.

* TheSeventies: "I'm gonna check out what's going on over on the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_O Harry O]]'' set."

* Tom and Crow hold a political debate about politics, with Mike acting as moderator.

* TheSeventies: "I'm gonna check out what's going on over on the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_O Harry-O]]'' set."

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: 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.
** 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?
** This line:
--->'''Mike:''' ''[as made-for-TV hippie William]'' [[Music/BobDylan The answer, my friend]], is, "Blow it out your ass!"
** When Tab leaves the men's room Tom says "That was a ''très bien merde''", the italicized words meaning "very good shit" in French.
** And this, when Jim is directing Davey:
--->'''Jim:''' Now pull it out halfway.\\
'''Crow:''' The THROTTLE, Davey!

* ActorAllusion: The crew gets a lot of mileage over the casting of Pernell Roberts of ''Series/{{Bonanza}}'' fame. [[invoked]] And ''Series/{{Gunsmoke}}''. And ''Trapper John, MD''.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: William Sturtevant as Mr. Woodruff's supposed hippie assailant is just a regular guy with stubble and slightly messy hair. His hair isn't even much longer than Clu's. "Oh, it's a made-for-TV hippie!"

-->'''Mike:''' ''(as VIP, to Conrad)'' I've never spanked a member of the Ponderosa...

-->'''Servo:''' ''(as Davey)'' I'm gonna splatter myself all over the tarmac to impress Dad!

-->'''Crow:''' ''(as Davey, sobbing)'' Nobody in the airport loves me!!

'''Servo:''' ''(as Conrad)'' ...I wouldn't have done ''Trapper John''.

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

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

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

-->'''Mr. Woodruff:''' ''(Dana Elcar ChewingTheScenery as an outraged, hippie-hating businessman)'' You haven't heard the last of me.\\
'''Mike:''' ''(as Woodruff)'' Just wait til we go to series!

---> '''Tina Scott:''' ''(to Davey)'' It's just that sometimes married people--\\
'''Mike:''' ''(as Tina)'': --[[FinishingEachOthersSentences break up because of their kids.]]\\

'''Servo:''' ''(as Tina)'' Apart from their kids, I mean.\\

'''Mike:''' ''(as Tina)'' Yes, and ''I'' don't want custody.\\

'''Crow:''' ''(as Tina)'' Although because of you, it's very likely.\\

'''Servo:''' ''(as Tina) You'' have to go now.

----> '''Crow:''' ''(as Jim)'' Davey, all those people down there are getting divorced because of you.

---->'''Servo:''' ''(as Jim)'' You know, people are gonna hate you for quite a while after this, Davey.

'''Davey:''' [pulls out throttle knob]\\

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

--->'''Crow:''' ''(as the flight attendant)'' Here's your script. You'll be playing Black Woman On Plane.

* TheNothingAfterDeath: Invoked. Similar to how the crew single out Davey as being singlehandedly responsible for his parents' divorce, it's implied to only await ButtMonkey ''Davey'' in particular.

* CompilationMovie: Another canceled '70s series repackaged as a TV movie, in the vein of the ''Master Ninja''s or ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E05StrandedInSpace Stranded in Space]]''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:

** Somehow they got ''this'' line past the censors:[[note]]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.[[/note]]
--->'''Mike:''' ''(as made-for-TV hippie William)'' The answer, my friend, is, "Blow it out your ass!"

* TheNothingAfterDeath: Invoked. Implied, based on Davey being singlehandedly responsible for his parents' divorce, to only await ButtMonkey Davey in particular.

** Mike throws in Creator/GaryColeman's "[[Series/DiffrentStrokes What'choo talkin' about, Willis?]]" {{Catchphrase}} in between "[[Series/FamilyMatters Did I do that?]]"s.

-->'''Servo:''' Davey, when you die, a great nothingness awaits you.

* 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.''

* 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, [[TheNothingAfterDeath a great nothingness awaits you.]]"
