History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E11PartsTheClonusHorror

* As the 'Bots predicted, Pearl and Brain Guy are stuck slurping juice boxes and playing Candy Land with Darlene and Buddy while Bobo plays catch Scooter. Playtime doesn't go well for the Mads at all, as their patience and tolerance for pain is constantly tested by the tykes' omnipotent temper tantrums.

He was also very thankful when he was alerted by [=MSTies=] that ''Film/TheIsland2005'' was a ripoff of his film, which resulted in a very generous out-of-court settlement.

* For the first time in his life, Mike has decided to grow a mustache. The 'Bots are initially supportive of him, but it soon turns to mockery.

* Mike shaves his mustache, which prompts the 'Bots to give him more flack. On the Camping Planet, Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy are woken from their slumber by Buddy, Darlene, and Scooter, a trio of omnipotent Space Children who've run away from home. Lost and starving, they deem Pearl their new "grandma" and her lackeys their new "uncles". Pearl refuses to humor their delusions, prompting the kids to demonstrate that they're more omnipotent than Brain Guy by making the Mads punch themselves in the face. On the SOL, Mike decides that the kids could be his and the 'Bots ticket to freedom, so he tries to persuade the kids not to send them whatever film Pearl has cued up for them today. Unfortunately, Crow and Servo's conflicting advice about child-rearing results in his attempt pitifully failing.

* Having reached the end of her rope as the Space Children enjoy snacktime, Pearl begs Mike and the 'Bots to provide some entertainment for them. After relishing the feeling of being in control, the SOL puts on a public TV children's show. At first, it's a nice and soothing affair which entrances the omnipotent kids, but it soon turns into a wacky and incomprehensible ''Mexican'' TV children's show with dancing and glittery spandex, making the tykes cry.

* Crow shows off the new nose job he got to impersonate Lena's appearance, which Mike just can't look away from. On the Camping Planet, the Mads have finally gotten the Space Children tucked into their sleeping bags for a nap. Servo recites a beautiful poem to soothe the omnipotent tykes, but it unfortunately comes with a raucous oompah accompaniment, making the children cry again.

* Mike has decided to grow out a mustache. The 'Bots try to support him, but it soon turns to mockery.

* Mike debates shaving his mustache, while Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy find their camping site intruded upon by Space Children. They're lost, hungry, and incredibly omnipotent, and they've named Pearl their new grandmother... and they will not take "No" for her answer.

* The Mads are stuck playing Candy Land and Catch with the Space Children, and it's not going very well for any of them as their patience and pain tolerance is constantly tested by their omnipotent temper tantrums.

* Pearl begs the crew to provide some kind of entertainment for the Space Children. Mike and the 'Bots put on a public TV children's show, which goes over well enough with the audience until they start getting bilingual.

* The Mads give "The Talk" to the Space Children.

* Crow shows off his new nose job. The Mads have finally gotten the Space Children down for the night, and Servo offers a beautiful poem to soothe them to sleep. The marching music he accompanies it to has the opposite effect.

* GroinAttack: Bobo is on the receiving end of this (repeatedly). "Tante Bobo needs to go see Uncle Reconstructive Urologist."

--->'''Mike:''' "Just going to change my nutritional chart to include more pop!"

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Pearl tries to give Space Child Darlene TheTalk: "If he wants to dance, he's gonna have to pay the band. If he wants to paint the house, he's gonna have to buy the enamel. And the primer. And you still might want to consider aluminum siding."

** Scooter the Space Child constantly [[GroinAttack hitting Bobo in the groin]] in the skits.

---> '''Servo:''' (robotic voice) [[ATankardOfMooseUrine IT SPELLS TWO-NINETY-NINE A CASE]].
