12 | !!The Segments: |
13 | [[AC:Prologue]] |
14 | * Trying to stop a worn-out running gag, Joel shocks Tom and Crow every time they see a flashlight and say "[[Series/TheNBCMysteryMovie NBC Mystery Movie]]". He does it to himself, but just once, to show he's not a total hypocrite. |
15 | |
16 | [[AC:Segment 1/Invention Exchange]] |
17 | * Crow and Tom have invented the scratch-and-sniff report card, hoping to let kids take the edge off of telling their parents about bad grades by reminding them about how horrible their own school days were; private academies get their own variety. The Mads predict a ventriloquism boom in TheNineties, so Dr. Forrester performs with a retrofitted "Resusci-Annie" CPR demonstration dummy for the SOL crew, which turns deadly when "Annie" flatlines. |
18 | |
19 | [[AC:Segment 2]] |
20 | * The old grandpa in the movie is far too nice to be a real landlord, so Joel and the 'Bots present ''Reel to Real'', showing how renting property in the movies compares to reality. Both versions involve a big, fat, drunk guy sleeping on your couch. |
21 | |
22 | [[AC:Segment 3]] |
23 | * Joel and the Bots reenact the General Cinema "space candy" policy trailer by jettisoning snacks into space. |
24 | |
25 | [[AC:Segment 4]] |
26 | * Crow watches the snack food float by as he ponders his place in the universe while Joel and Tom play cards. A Skull Cruiser flies by the SOL a few times, but its pilot, a living skeleton, turns out to be really lame after making a fantastic first impression. |
27 | |
28 | [[AC:Segment 5]] |
29 | * Joel and the 'Bots present a fall line of slimming interstellar fashion, largely made from duct tape. Crow is particularly embarrassed by his stint on a fur rug. The first letter writer's mother isn't a fan of the show, while the second writer's pediatrics team named themselves after "Gamera" thanks to the show. Dr. Forrester is entertaining Resusci-Annie with a candelit dinner, being served fine wine served by a ''very'' disturbed Frank. |

31 | ---- |
32 | !!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation of ''Film/TeenagersFromOuterSpace'' has examples of: |
33 | * AccidentalMisnaming: One of the fan letters was written by a child who apparently thinks Joel's name is "Joe". |
34 | * BehavioralConditioning: Joel uses [[HarmlessElectrocution electric shocks]] on the robots to get them to stop saying "NBC Mystery Movie!" whenever they see a flashlight. |
35 | * CargoShip: In-universe, Dr. Forrester is seen trying to charm Resusci-Annie, the CPR doll he was using as a ventriloquist's dummy, with a dinner date. |
36 | * ContinuityNod: After the skeleton's attempt to contact them ends with him collapsing anticlimactically, Tom calls him the dumbest visitor they ever had. Crow says that [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E13EarthVsTheSpider the janitor]] was pretty dumb, and Tom also remembers [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E07DaddyO "the guy with the thick glasses"]]. |
37 | * GargleBlaster: At one point, the grandfather is shown asleep on the couch. Tom decides to spin this as him finding the [=NyQuil=]: |
38 | -->'''Crow''': Huh, Gramps started early today. |
39 | -->'''Tom Servo''': (as Betty) Oh, grandpa, I bought that [=NyQuil=] for colds, not for you to make [=NyQuiladas=]. |
40 | * ImStandingRightHere: Crow starts ragging on Derek's "stupid jumpsuit". Joel doesn't take it too well. Cue VerbalBackspace from Crow. |
41 | -->'''Crow''': Oh, but yours is nice. |
42 | * RunningGag: |
43 | ** "TOR-CHA!" |
44 | ** People being trapped in those huge '50s car trunks. |
45 | ** Characters singing certain songs to themselves (in particular, Gramps Morgan singing the theme to ''Series/NewZooRevue''). |
46 | * ShoutOut: |
47 | ** Joel and the bots start singing the "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime Amok Time]]" fight music during a ([[FightSceneFailure terrible]]) fight scene. |
48 | ** "[[Series/TheNBCMysteryMovie NBC Mystery Movie!]]" anytime Tom and Crow see a guy with a flashlight. Joel has to resort to electroshock therapy to get them to stop. |
49 | * SpeedSex: When Derek stands up from kissing Betty on the grass, Joel yells "Done!" |
50 | * TakeThat: |
51 | -->'''Leader:''' ''(voiceover in car)'' We are the supreme race! We have the supreme weapon!\ |
52 | '''Crow:''' Ah, turn Creator/RushLimbaugh off. |
53 | ---- |
54 | ->'''Captain:''' [[TheStinger When we return to our planet, the high court may well sentence you to]] '''[[TheStinger TORTURE!]]''' |
