YMMV / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S07 E02: The Brute Man

• One-Scene Wonder: The curmudgeon running the store.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: The episode is perhaps the most controversial of the whole show. It is only remembered today for the jabs made at Rondo Hatton, who suffered from a serious disfiguring disease that killed him shortly after the film was made. Many who worked on this episode have apologized for the insensitivity since.
• So Bad, It's Good: Mike completely cracks up during the scene with the old shopkeeper and his verbally-abused employee.
