Your experiment today is to Describe Mystery Science Theater 3000 here.Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is a weekly television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson, and showcasing some of the most mockable films ever made. While the cast of MST3K changed quite a bit throughout its history, the basic premise remained consistent: A human test subject (the host of the show) has been imprisoned aboard the spaceship called the "Satellite of Love" by mad scientists ("The Mads") where they are forced to watch a series of bad B-Movies. The Mads hope to eventually discover a film that will drive their test subject insane, probably intending to find a way to weaponize it. In an attempt to keep their sanity, the test subject has recruited two Robot Buddies to sit with them throughout the entire film (although usually edited), commenting and cracking wise at the film's expense (a process known as "riffing"), as silhouettes on the bottom right-hand side of the screen, occasionally breaking for skits, analysis, and assorted nuttery.Originally running from 1988 to 1999, the series was seemingly ended for good after a year on Minneapolis local television, seven years on Comedy Central, and three years on the Sci-Fi Channel. A Kickstarter and Shout! Factory-backed revival began on Netflix in 2017 and continued in 2018. Netflix declined to renew the show in 2019. In response, on April 7, 2021, Joel launched a second Kickstarter campaign with the intent on starting his own streaming platform to host new episodes of MST3K and other exciting projects in a post-COVID-19 world, known as "Gizmoplex", which would play a role in the new season. The campaign was successful, ensuring that a thirteenth season would be made. The new season premiered on the Gizmoplex app on May 6, 2022. A feature film was made in 1996, and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Comic was published by Dark Horse Comics starting in 2018. A crowdsourcing effort for a fourteenth season was attempted in October/November 2023, but failed to reach the minimum fundraising threshold.From 1988 to 1993, the series "host" was Joel Robinson,(series creator Joel Hodgson) an eccentric, mellow inventor. Shot into space by his superiors at the Gizmonic Institute and forced to reside in the bone-shaped Satellite of Love, the goal was to use the bad movies to drive Joel insane, a fate he averted by building robotic companions Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, help him make fun of the films. When Joel escaped in 1993, he was replaced by a temp named Mike Nelson,(Mike Nelson) a more active, alert, but perhaps thicker man. For the 2017 relaunch, the host is Jonah Heston,(Jonah Ray) another Gizmonic employee (which is to say, another Cloudcuckoolander genius) who got suckered into the experiment by means of a fake distress call. In 2022, he's joined by Emily Connor(Emily Marsh), a Gizmonic technician who was on site to install the Simulator of Love and became trapped inside when the Mads sent her ride back without her.As the victims of the movies came and went, so did the people inflicting that torture. At the show's start, the mad scientists (or “madsâ€�) were the bombastic, sadistic Dr. Clayton Forrester(Trace Beaulieu) and his dorky sidekick Dr. Larry Erhardt (J. Elvis Weinstein) After the first Comedy Central season, Erhardt was replaced by “TV'sâ€� Frank,(Frank Conniff) an eccentric space cadet. Frank, and Clayton a season later, were replaced by Clayton's mother Dr. Pearl Forrester,(Mary Jo Pehl) whose reign as the show's lead villain in the three seasons on Sci-Fi Channel brought with it a thick-witted ape sidekick named Professor Bobo(Kevin Murphy) and a wannabe-enigmatic alien called Observer (Bill Corbett). For the relaunch, Pearl passes the torch to her granddaughter Kinga,(Felicia Day) as well as a TV's Son of TV's Frank, aka Max.(Patton Oswalt)Though it became a cult classic and middling success, the show is notable for staying close to its low-budget roots—all of its effects are practical, the sets tend to be assembled out of random nonsense, and the 'bots themselves are puppets. The actors were almost universally cast out of the writing pool, spent a lot of time Acting for Two, and tended to be The Danza when possible—see the character sheet for details.The series' philosophy of "Keep Circulating the Tapes" (a phrase found in the end credits for several years) led to much of the show being easily found online; the show's creators encourage tape trading and file sharing, as the nature of film licensing would make many episodes otherwise unavailable.During the show's time off the air, its alumni debuted similar projects. RiffTrax is the big one, a downloadable commentary service that has been around since 2006 and since expanded into live shows. Also notable are The Film Crew, Cinematic Titanic and live touring show The Mads.The series has also inspired a lot of loving imitators, such as Theater Mode and Incognito Cinema Warriors XP (which turn the focus to schlock and exploitation), Unskippable and Retsupurae (for video games), and a subgenre of fanfiction called MSTing — all of which heroically attempt to remain faithful to the original show's guiding principle of turning bad art into good comedy.The films shown on MST3K embody nearly every trope, cliché and hackneyed plot device ever invented — which the crew of the Satellite of Love mercilessly call out. (For details of the episodes themselves, check out the Episode Recaps.)Episodes can be found on various streaming services, including YouTube, Vimeo, Shout! Factory TV, Twitch, Tubi, Pluto TV and (as of 2022) the Gizmoplexnote created for the series' thirteenth season and on, with original run episodes on deck. A few episodes were broadcast on select PBS stations through American Public Television.

comment
When the show returned for the 11th season on Netflix, it featured a new host in Jonah, three new voices for the bots, and two new main villains. However, former villains do comeback in reoccurring roles (including the villains played by Murphy and Corbett, who formerly voiced the bots), and Joel comes back as a new reoccurring character in a Creator Cameo of sorts. In season 13, he even comes back as his original character as host of several episodes.

All Men Are Perverts: Mostly Crow, who will start complimenting the film when a female is undressing, like in Terror from the Year 5000. Averted with Mike, who instead notices random things when a nude female is on-screen, like in Village of the Giants where he points out the stairs and curtains in the background when the women start growing out of their clothes. And then there's this almost identical exchange from Diabolik, as a woman in an incredibly short miniskirt goes up a flight of steps.

comment
Urban Legends: The show's rivalry with Sandy Frank; for years, it was widely rumored that Frank (angry at the mockery of his films and how the show went so far as to make a song mocking him) personally refused to re-licence the many films he owned that the show featured as revenge for the way they mocked him. The truth was more subdued: seeing the show's popularity (and the fact that many of his episodes were among the most popular that the show featured in the early years) he simply tried to extort more money from Best Brains by raising his asking price to renew the license for usage of his films. Similarly, their "feud" with Joe Don Baker over Mitchell. For years it was said that Baker was really mad at their poking fun at him in Mitchell and had threatened to kick their asses. Truthfully, it was said in jest, and the MST crew went with it as a more serious threat to fuel the rumor mill. Averted with Peter Graves. In an interview shortly before his death, he was asked about the show, and referred as to the cast as "the idiots sitting in the front row." He also said he wasn't "too pleased with those."

comment
Cannot Tell a Joke: Gypsy's attempts to comment on a film inevitably fall flat. She did manage one that Joel and the 'Bots commended — "They're steam-cleaning the horses!" — but the movie's dullness basically got her fed up and she left the theater. In the revival, this has been averted for unexplained reasons. She regularly pops into the theater to crack the occasional joke, but never stays very long.

The Artifact: The Invention Exchanges sorta became this once Joel left. They were originally a way for Joel to show off props from his magic show. They were eventually phased out during the Mike Nelson episodes, but the Invention Exchange returns for the revival. Of course, this is because Joel is again involved.

Heroic BSoD
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_1439161f
comment
Heroic BSoD: Several films nearly succeeded in the Mads' goal of breaking the SOL crew's collective will: Manos: The Hands of Fate did it almost before the opening sequence ended, and is so bad that the Mads actually come out and apologize separately to the SOL for inflicting it on them. Before Manos, the absolute nadir was The Castle of Fu Manchu, which reduced Joel and the Bots to tears of hysteria on the bridge every time they tried to discuss the maddeningly confusing plot. Frank and Dr. Forrester actually thought they'd won, until Joel challenged them to watch the film themselves — after thirty seconds, even they were sick of it. Monster a-Go Go and Red Zone Cuba have Joel/Mike and the Bots try to enforce happiness on each other, with little success. Invasion of the Neptune Men nearly broke Mike and the Bots (and the audience). It took an intervention by annoying fourth wall-breaking villain Krankor to pull them out of their tailspin with, of all things, an Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other moment. Red Scare propaganda vehicle Rocket Attack U.S.A. has a Downer Ending with no apparent moral other than "move to the suburbs so that at least you don't die instantly when nuclear war inevitably comes." The pointlessly cruel Downer Ending of The Girl in Lover's Lane does it to the bots, though Joel snaps them out of it by pointing out that the whole story is fictional, and they're perfectly free to come up with whatever ending they want to imagine instead. Hobgoblins was so bad, Mike, Tom, Crow and Cambot go so far as to try and escape the satellite halfway through the movie. The Bots breakdown crying in the film's opening credits. After seeing Final Justice, Mike hits his breaking point and pretends to be escaping the Satellite of Love just like Joel did. His logic is that because Joel got to escape after watching a bad Joe Don Baker movie (back in Mitchell), he deserves the same reward for watching one of his own. Crow and Servo have to break it to Mike that he's only sitting in the water heater and not in an escape pod. The Day Time Ended, a movie already wearing on Jonah and the 'Bots due to Kinga's Gauntlet, puts Crow and Servo so close to breaking with its incoherence. By the end of the film, they're hallucinating dreamily of the alien city from the ending, calling it a place where no bad movies can harm them. Jonah only barely manages to get them out of it in time for the next movie. In Munchie, Jonah and the 'Bots completely lose it when the titular Munchie note a horrendously-designed puppet of an imp-like creature voiced by Dom DeLuise as he sings "Hello My Baby" makes his debut on-screen and run out of the theater screaming for dear life. It's so traumatic that they refuse to return to the theater, so Kinga cuts the SOL's oxygen to make Jonah reconsider his attempt at bravery. Even for lesser versions of this, the crew has their own Unusual Euphemism: vapor locking, as in "Jeez, Joel, don't vapor-lock on us!" Used when a character, in-movie or out, is stunned into silence, gets trapped in a flashback, or is sent off on a nonsensical rant they can't get out of. For those not familiar with the term: when it gets cold enough (like Minnesota in winter), if any condensation gets inside a lock, it can freeze the mechanism solid, vapor locking — which can keep the key from being pushed into the lock, much less turned. The worst, of course, is when this happens when you've just walked to the edge of the parking lot at the end of an already-long day's work, something with which the writing room was obviously familiar.

comment
Heroic RRoD: Fugitive Alien II is famous for (temporarily) killing Servo, leading to Joel desperately trying to resuscitate him. Another Japanese superhero(?) experiment, Invasion of the Neptune Men had him contract a mystery disease (Roji-Panty Complex, based on a nigh-incomprehensible term from the film) that put in down for the count for the better part of a host segment.

Darker and Edgier
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The web series Incognito Cinema Warriors XP is essentially a dark and edgy version of MST3K, since it mainly riffs adult-rated horror films featuring tons of sex and nudity, something MST3K couldn't get away with on basic cable. Many fans feel the tone of the show got a bit edgier and angrier as it went on, particularly after the move to the Sci-Fi Channel and the addition of native Brooklynite Bill Corbett to the main cast. At the "Crow vs. Crow" panel at Dragon*Con '09, Corbett said that the Sci-Fi Channel sent them notes, telling them to make the show "edgier", which apparently the crew didn't really understand. "What do you want, more fart jokes?" Even back in the Comedy Central seasons, the various shorts shown tended to have more mature jokes than the main features. Johnny at the Fair and Catching Trouble in particular stand out. The lost short Assignment: Venezuela has some very adult jokes, due to being made for a CD-ROM game that was never finished.

When mother, son, and grand-daughter are all evil mad scientists out to rule world and engage in a sadistic mind control experiments, that's one thing. But when it takes a really special family to resurrect a dead son, then kill him again because he turns out exactly the same way, and then blame your experiment's victims for it...

Misplaced a Decimal Point: In one episode, Servo misses a single question on the tests given to the cast by the Brain Guys (which everyone else fails horrendously but Gypsy, and it's suggested via Overly Narrow Superlative that she'd have failed if they'd been able to decide on a control set) for this reason.

All There in the Manual: The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, which covers the first six seasons in extensive detail and gives a basic synopsis of the KTMA season and what a viewer at the time could expect from season seven. The KTMA season and seasons 7 would later be given more detail at MST3KInfo.com, and the Sci Fi website covered seasons 8-10. (The Sci Fi pages are now defunct, but available amongst the archives of Satellite News.) Although it's never been stated onscreen, Joel has stated in interviews that the invention exchange is actually a customary greeting among members of Gizmonic Institute, who are all expected to be working on their own projects in addition to their regular duties (even janitors like Joel). This fact can be used to explain why the practice eventually ceased during Mike's tenure, since he was only temping at the Institute when the Mads kidnapped him, but came back during Jonah's, since he is a full-fledged Gizmocrat. The annotations on the official YouTube videos explain all of the cultural references.

Unreliable Narrator: In a KTMA episode Servo has 'flashbacks' of earlier events on the satellite. One involves a very out-of-character Joel yelling at the 'bots and actively smacking them around (he makes Gypsy cry!) while smoking a cigarette. He growls out "Listen, I'm not normally this way, it's just Servo's perception of me" and ends up stalking off to his trailer. "Think hard Crow, you mindless troll."

Celebrity Resemblance: This trope is routine for the show as every episode involves pointing out how people on screen look like famous individuals. A hilarious running example of this is showcased during the riffing of Red Zone Cuba which points out how Coleman Francis looks like Curly Howard. A truly epic run is in Warrior of the Lost World where Servo rattles these off for more than fifty characters in a single scene .

Of all things, there are frequent shoutouts to Alcoholics Anonymous in riffs and host segments. The movement's founder, Bill W., gets a mention in the thank you sections of many of the credit rolls. This is a Real Life Writes the Plot sort of thing — Conniff was a reformed alcoholic and former AA member. It was his idea to thank Bill W. in the credits, and a lot of the AA-related riffs drew on his knowledge of the group.

Jonah is built like a lumberjack and unafraid to ham it up in host segments with a rather seductive wink or hip shake here and there.

The Movie: The film actually subverts this trope, as it was screwed by the distributors. Each episode of the show is already feature-length (90 minutes) — but the MST3K Movie was not only twenty minutes shorter than any episode of the series (a scant 72 minutes), but fourteen minutes shorter than the riffed-upon film This Island Earth. The distributors' test audiences apparently felt the movie went on too long, even though fans of the show (those most likely to see the film) were already well-accustomed to the show being as long as a film.

The Rival: Subverted (for now, at least) with Cinematic Titanic vs. RiffTrax. Nelson claimed in an interview for the show's 20th Anniversary, that he approached Joel and the Cinematic Titanic crew, when Cinematic Titanic launched, about staging a blood feud between his camp (RiffTrax) and Joel's group (Cinematic Titanic) to drum up sales for their respective projects. Joel turned him down.note Back in the day, Joel had occasionally stoked the Joel-vs-Mike holy war following the latter becoming the host, not realising how seriously people were taking it. Mike had been carefully kept oblivious to the whole thing.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Dr. Forrester and Frank, when they weren't killing each other in funny ways. Rule of Funny in full force here. Basically, other than being extremely dysfunctional, what Frank and Clay's true relationship was seemed to shift from episode to episode. It all depended on what gave them the most opportunities for laughs. This had to end by the time Pearl, Clay's mother, became a regular...her relationship to Dr. Forrester had to be unambiguous, for obvious reasons. Except for the time he put her in a home, of course.

A case of what happens when this is put into reverse and collides with Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Mike and the bots' particularly harsh roastings of the reliability of Leonard Maltin's reviews, Pearl Forrester went out and got the man himself to recommend something. And while Pearl's name-blindness continued ("Stop bugging Mr. Siskel with questions; he's working for me.") Maltin was only too happy to recommend Gorgo even though he personally liked the film.

She can't seem to understand that Netflix doesn't use traditional ratings and so her network style ratings stunts are pointless, no matter how many times it's pointed out to her. Mike assumes that since Joel escaped after a Joe Don Baker film, that when he watches one he'll escape. It doesn't work.

Thing-O-Meter: The episode featuring Angels Revenge has Tom Servo invent the "Shame-O-Meter" to measure the amount of shame the actors must be feeling. note It measures things in "Lawfords" (after a very drunk and washed-up Peter Lawford, who played the Big Bad in this movie.) Forrester and Frank end up overloading and destroying the thing by dressing up as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, respectively. Back in Hercules Unchained Joel's Invention Exchange was the Steve-O-Meter. It had nothing to do with Hercules' actor Steve Reeves, but rather Steve Allen; it told you whether or not your idea had already been come up with by Steve Allen. Not only did Steve Allen already come up with Movie Sign, but he also already thought of the Steve-O-Meter.

Long-Runner Cast Turnover
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_240fd641
comment
Long-Runner Cast Turnover: The series lasted long enough to see every actor walk away for personal reasons. It began as a Mad Scientist and his assistant tormenting a janitor and his robots, but eventually ended as a megalomaniacal woman, a Doctor Zaius expy, and a brain guy tormenting an erstwhile temp worker and... well, the same robots, but with different voices. Joel, the creator and main host character, left the show to Mike in the middle of season five, neatly dividing the series (and fans) into two eras. Both hosts went on to start their own movie-mocking franchises in Cinematic Titanic and RiffTrax, and both of those enterprises feature a mutually-exclusive subset of MST3K alumni (except for Mary Jo Pehl, who has appeared in both series). When the show returned for the 11th season on Netflix, it featured a new host in Jonah, three new voices for the bots, and two new main villains. However, former villains do comeback in reoccurring roles (including the villains played by Murphy and Corbett, who formerly voiced the bots), and Joel comes back as a new reoccurring character in a Creator Cameo of sorts. In season 13, he even comes back as his original character as host of several episodes.

Sick Episode
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_25f33d8
comment
Sick Episode: Joel and the Bots fight off the common cold in The Hellcats. A side effect of their treament is experiencing flashbacks. Untamed Youth, Gypsy gets sick and cannot stop coughing up cotton. It is a downplayed example as it isn't the main focus of the episode. Invasion of the Neptune Men Servo comes down with Roji Panty Complex. Final Sacrifice Bobo catches Hockey Hair, which spreads to Pearl and Observer, then Tom and Crow; Mike is immune due to previous exposure, however it makes him susceptible to Grizzled Prospector Syndrome.

Failure Is the Only Option
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: The Mads can never succeed in driving their victims insane, and the gang on the Satellite of Love can't escape, with the famous exception of Joel in Season 5. Pearl did come achingly close to finding a film that could drive people insane with Invasion of the Neptune Men, but Mike and the Bots were saved by a visit from Krankor. Manos: The Hands of Fate came very close, too... it was so bad that Forrester and Frank both actually apologized for subjecting them to it while it was still running. Probably the closest Frank and Dr. F got to actually driving Joel insane was the season three experiment The Castle of Fu Manchu, which was so bad that the entire SOL crew had been reduced to tears by the first host segment. The crew was only saved in the end when Joel convinced the Mads to try watching it for themselves, and they had to shut it off after only a minute (and some painfully unfunny attempts at riffing). The schadenfreude was enough to pull Joel and the Bots out of their funk. Sanity Slippage saves the trio after seeing Red Zone Cuba. They're about to break when Mike has them sing "Bouncy, Upbeat Song". Crow's demented laugh during the song gives an indication to just how close they came to cracking. Joel's little breakdowns involving a model city made with junk, hollering "Howard Rourke", wearing marshmallows and an altar to Leonard Nimoy (the latter two are unseen and mentioned only in passing). A brief one, but in The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, a bizarre, surreal nightmare sequence causes poor Servo to freak out and hide under his chair, and reduces him to a trembling, whimpering, sobbing wreck. He snaps out of it surprisingly quickly, though.

Cheerful Funeral
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_26ec9be2
comment
Cheerful Funeral: After watching an incredibly boring funeral in The Gunslinger, Joel and the 'bots lie in fake coffins of their own and discuss what their ideal funerals would look like. Servo can't decide between something educational that explains his embalming methods, or a circus-like extravaganza. ("I want elephants, Joel, lots of them.") Crow, on the other hand, wants a beach-themed funeral, complete with keggers and "couples sneaking off to neck—prop me up so I can surf!" In At the Earth's Core, Max invents a cannon that fires cremated ashes like confetti, intended to make funerals more interesting.

Wholesome Crossdresser
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_28f852ea
comment
Wholesome Crossdresser: Occasionally. For example, in Horrors of Spider Island, Crow asks Mike if it's true that if a woman survives a plane crash she becomes languid and helpless and sex-starved (and also murmurs a lot). Mike decides to find out by crashing the Satellite of Love, somehow leaving him, Crow, and Servo dressed as women. Servo is usually the one to be crossdressing due to his naturally feminine shape and Murphy's especially deep voice. Lampshaded in one episode in which Servo exasperatedly says that he can't wear anything like pants because his hoverskirt won't allow him to. Their reviews of Ed Wood films usually bring up that Wood was one of these, and the jokes imply that so are most of the main cast:

comment
In a couple season 2 and 3 episodes, there were contests for viewers announced. The results of those contests, such as the "What's the Deal with Kenny" from the first Gamera movie or the "Ways to Snuff Gaos" from the third one, were never revealed. The show later lampshades this where they seem to announce another contest, then simply tells the viewers to crumple up their responses and throw them away.

Awesome, but Impractical: Kinga invented a liquid medium for audio-video transmission. But the camera includes a ten-gallon tank you have to carry on your back. And some issues with the medium prevented Kinga from actually recording the show's opening theme, so the characters have to perform the theme song all over again, every single episode.

When the Love Interest in Laserblast says her crazy grandfather will shoot the protagonist if he sees him again, Tom remarks they now have someone to root for.

Vocal Evolution
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_2ef005ab
comment
Vocal Evolution: When New Yorker Bill Corbett took over as Crow, the little robot gained a soft Brooklyn accent and a slightly effeminate lisp. This hilarious combination only lasted a few episodes as Corbett gradually found his own voice for Crow with a more generalised accent. Tom Servo, twice: Josh Weinstein found Servo's "Mighty Voice!" midway through the KTMA season, and Kevin Murphy initially played Servo's voice close to Josh's portrayal, before easing into a more natural performance. The vocal changes to Tom and Crow were directly referenced and Hand Waved in-universe; the change from Josh's voice to Kevin's was explicitly laid to Joel tinkering with Tom's voice chip (which is also how they explained the different voice Josh began using in the KTMA era), while Crow's change was initially chalked up to something happening in his five centuries on the SOL while Mike and the others were noncorporeal, later suggested by Joel in his visit during Soultaker that Crow had changed his bowling pin (his beak). Trace Beaulieu also used what has been described as a "baby voice" for Crow in the early Comedy Channel episodes (KTMA-era Crow spoke with a slightly stilted delivery somewhere between C3P0 and the Lost in Space robot). Around seasons 2 and 3, his performance became more natural. Dr. Forrester started as Trace's Gregory Peck impression.

I Am Not Shazam: Invoked: At the end of Jungle Goddess, Joel and the bots hold a spoof of the film they just watched; as they take their bows, Joel introduces Crow as "Art Crow" in reference to Art Carney of The Honeymooners fame. However, one young fan who wrote in referred to Crow as "Art" in her letter, believing it to be his real name. This would eventually hang over him to the point that Pearl would refer to Crow as "Art".

Kevin Murphy once mentioned that he imagined the people who did get the obscure references would feel like the show could read their mind. A lot of their references were subject to Memetic Mutation, too, such as the "I thought you were Dale" meta-reference. Getting every single joke in an episode usually requires multiple viewings and consulting a fan website (there are entire websites dedicated to deciphering the more obscure references).

Poor Crow seems to have had it the worst in the Sci-Fi Channel episodes. He was alone on the Satellite for 500 years, doesn't remember Mike upon their first reunion, and seems to have developed Split Personality symptoms where he believes he's something else. You really feel bad for him when you think about it.

Once an Episode: In The Return, Gypsy drops by the theater at least twice an episode. She drops off what Word of God calls "the payload", makes a one-liner, and then leaves. She later comes to pick it up, and makes another one-liner.

Actor Allusion
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Lots of them, if an actor is most famous for another role: If Alan Hale or Russell Johnson appeared in a film, Gilligan's Island references were inevitable. Every time Peter Graves shows up, you can expect a host of Biography jokes, and at least one Mission: Impossible reference. Because Graves shows up in so many riff targets, another gag was referencing his role in the last film they saw him in. The writers were quite proud of themselves for limiting themselves to only two Brady Bunch riffs in one film (Bloodlust!) co-starring Robert Reed. Almost any time Dick Sargent appears onscreen in Clonus, our hosts feel the need to comment on his trope-naming role as The Other Darrin on Bewitched. In Village of the Giants, the young scientist is played by Ron Howard which causes references to his directing career, playing Opie, etc. They also did this for actors who weren't famous, for example the "Coffee? I like coffee" guy from Coleman Francis films (Eric Tomlin), or Depressing Dad (Malcolm Atterbury) who showed up in several unrelated episodes, and yet somehow always played a really depressing dad. Possibly reached its zenith when they noticed an actor named Merritt Stone had showed up in several of their targets, but no one was sure who he actually was. So the big running gag of The Rebel Set is Joel and Crow giving the name to the train conductor (actually played by Gene Roth, who was another recurring actor), to which Tom keeps shouting "HE'S NOT MERRITT STONE!" Averted completely when no one at all noticed that Space Mutiny's spaceship was the Battlestar Galactica flying backwards. In the revival, Kinga Forrester singing a romantic duet with Neil Patrick Harris is one to her role in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. NPH's character, Neville Laroy, is a magician, which is also a passion of Harris' that has come up in some of his other roles. You could say P.T. Mindslap has a lot of experience both in space and with circuses.

Critic Breakdown
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_395f1788
comment
Critic Breakdown: Given that terrible films are the show's bread and butter, this was pretty much inevitable. The worst of the worst movies actually do drive the cast to the edge of breakdowns, or completely over. Manos: The Hands of Fate, perhaps the most notorious of the Joel-era episodes, sent both Tom and Crow into a panic during the opening credits, because they were convinced that they were going to be forced to watch a Snuff Film. Later, both Frank and Forrester separately approached the communicator, to privately apologize to Joel and the bots for foisting something so awful on them. Monster a-Go Go left the bots in a deep depression, which Joel unsuccessfully tries to cheer them out of. They also state that it was just as bad as Manos, which is a pretty severe criticism in light of their reaction to that. The Castle of Fu Manchu tears the whole cast to pieces just from the opening credits. Joel's only consolation comes from daring Forrester and Frank to watch the film themselves. They don't even last two minutes. Eegah! was so bad that Crow and Servo had to take showers afterwards to wash the filth away. Red Zone Cuba makes Mike think he's Carol Channing. Servo and Crow have to sing a manic "Bouncy Upbeat Song" to keep themselves from complete despair. Invasion of the Neptune Men leaves the cast sobbing and wondering what's the point of living anymore. Only a surprise visit from the Phantom of Krankor pulls them back from the Despair Event Horizon. Hobgoblins was so bad, everyone walked out of the theater and left behind cardboard cutouts of themselves. The Gauntlet has this as the end goal. Six films (including the show's first run at The Asylum) in a row, no breaks. This season is basically Kinga and Max trying to finally break Jonah and the 'Bots through sheer brute force.

Ignorant About Fire: In Space Mutiny, when the Mads escape from an ancient Roman prison, Professor Bobo goes back to grab a cheese wheel, accidentally knocking a lit candle into a pile of hay in the process. The episode ends with the flames growing larger. There was a reference earlier to Emperor Nero giving a violin recital, so the clear implication is that Bobo accidentally started the Great Fire of Rome.

No Fourth Wall
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_3b4f620a
comment
No Fourth Wall: The SOL crew would directly address the audience at least once an episode. The camera was a character mentioned in the opening theme. The characters had a "Commercial Sign" to warn them that the show was about to take a break. Hodgson has stated that Forrester was selling the results of the experiment to Comedy Central, which explains people addressing the camera and "Commercial Sign". Sort of odd that the originator of the MST3K Mantra would be explaining plot elements... This is explicitly stated in earlier seasons; in fact, the episode Angels Revenge has an invention exchange specifically designed to raise the show's ratings: Dr. Forrester invents a pill that turns the SOL crew into the cast of Renegade. The Return seasons return to this premise with gusto. Kinga Forrester and TV's Son of TV's Frank are selling the show to Netflix, and Kinga explicitly tries to exploit the show's marketability. In one episode, Servo even mentions how a planetoid in the movie they were watching resembled the MST3K logo — until Joel shut him up by pointing out he wasn't supposed to know that... In Gamera, when the movie's title character is tricked into being launched into space in a manner uncannily similar to the circumstances of Joel's marooning, Servo busts out into the MST3K theme song, much to Joel's annoyance. On a similar note, even the rocket is the same, complete with Japanese characters on the tail. Some of the TV specials (e.g., the CBS Morning Godzilla trivia quiz) preserved some of the fourth wall, in an odd way. While all the characters were fully aware of their canonically fictional status in their own television show, the 'bots were interviewed in-character, as if they, like the human hosts, were playing themselves. So the characters were fictional while simultaneously not being fictional. This is a concept that any Muppet Show fan would understand immediately.

Title, Please!: Although each episode is named after whatever movie they're reviewing, no episode title is present on the screen. However, during season 6, the bumpers before commercials would feature the title of the movie on a film canister or other object. Season 3's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians plays this trope straight, as the print they used had the title cut off.

Servo had been doing this the whole episode. His "Christmas essay" was about Santa Claus visiting the ship...and the horrible consequences it would have on him and the reindeer. And during the credits, when Joel and Crow were singing along to the song, Servo's lyrics were about Santa and the kids dying in a similar way before they get back to Earth. Joel and Crow call him out for being so dark.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_415b3315
comment
Stylistic Suck: Any time anyone tries to put on a skit in-character, you can pretty well expect it to be badly acted, since none of the characters are actually actors in-character note  The Mads are Mad Scientists and their flunkies, Joel was a janitor and an inventor, and Bots were mostly built to mouth off at movies. Mike was a temp that did a little of everything (usually badly) and while that did include acting, it usually didn't help. If the Mads did a song, it was usually bad on purpose. This is usually subverted when the people on the Satellite did songs, then they try to be as good as possible. Season 11 has one of the largest budgets the show's ever seen but still uses cardboard and styrofoam sets. If you look closely during the new door sequence, you can even see the corrugation pattern through the paint.

Story Arc

Story Arc: Utilized during season 8, mostly due to Executive Meddling, but abandoned in the last two Sci-Fi seasons. The final season began with a minor arc about Pearl trying to get "certified" as an official mad scientist ("It's illegal to take over the world if you're not board certified"), but this was also quickly abandoned. Season 11 has two arcs. First, Max has an unrequited crush on Kinga, while Kinga decides to marry Jonah as a ratings stunt. This culminates in a wedding in the finale. Second, Jonah starts building himself a spacesuit, and can be seen working on it in several episodes. He finishes the suit just in time to take a spacewalk in the finale. Season 12 has such a strong arc that it's practically a High Concept: To turn up the heat on Jonah, Kinga's showing him six films back-to-back - and viewers are challenged to watch it the same way. Season 13 has overarching running gags about Kinga always having trouble funding the Kingadome and Gizmoplex, i

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Mostly averted with Joel's creations, since Joel deliberately built Crow and Servo to be sarcastic jerks in order to help him stay sane during the various movie experiments...but played straight when Mike tries to build his own 'bot. While they never tried to kill Mike, Crow and Servo often openly admitted to destroying his most prized possessions. Joel specifically programmed the 'bots to give him a hard time, in order to keep him from going crazy due to isolation and repeated exposure to bad movies. It makes sense that they'd carry this protocol over to Mike to protect him as well. As with Mike, the bots razz Jonah and don't respect his property, but do their job keeping him sane. Their non-lethalness does not extend to the robots Jonah tries to make though, who are almost all instantly destroyed by Crow and Servo out of jealousy. Jonah then reveals that he builds fake bots to exploit Crow and Servo's jealousy because violent outbursts keep their hardware functional.

Becoming the Mask
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_44606d14
comment
Becoming the Mask: During the Sci-Fi era, Crow had a tendency to dress up as a person/monster from the film in question and insist to Mike and Tom that he really was that character. Crow does this a lot (such as being dressed as a Bellarian): Or during Jack Frost, after Crow dresses as a bear claiming the Mushroom Guy did it. Tom isn't immune to this, either, and exacts revenge in a different episode, Prince of Space. Joel tried during Manos: The Hands of Fate, but failed miserably. Mike tried and failed too, at the end of Horrors of Spider Island. Mike does this a lot, usually as a way for Nelson to show off his celebrity impersonations. One whole episode plot was Mike doing his Urkel impression and everyone laughing at it as characters from previous episodes show up to laugh as well, only for the whole thing to be ruined when Torgo (played by Nelson) admits he's not an Urkel fan. Some episodes even have situations where Mike saves the day by doing this, like when he became Adam Duritz and scared away the aliens attacking the ship, or in Laserblast, when the ship was heading towards a black hole and Mike turning into Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager is what got them away from it. Only for things to get creepy when "Janeway" starts singing "Proud Mary" and dancing like Tina Turner. The 'bots flee in terror.

Incredibly Long Note: Kevin especially is able to hold one of these, in The Leech Woman.

(This is a bit of a fake example, however—if you listen closely, you can hear where the scream was edited to sound really long.) Crow in The Mole People holds out a very long "AAAAAAHHH" on his fall down from cutting his mile-high pie. Mike's "screaming" in this host segment semi-qualifies.

Raise Him Right This Time: Subverted. In Dr. Forrester's final appearance, he is transformed into a baby, and his mother says she'll do this, but she ends up smothering him with a pillow before really trying.

Gift of the Magi Plot
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_460aa61c
comment
Gift of the Magi Plot: Parodied in "Santa Claus." TV's Frank shaves his head and buys Dr. Forrester a watch fob—but he didn't sell his hair to get the money. In fact, no explanation is given as to why he shaved his head beyond it apparently being part of the gift. Dr. Forrester then gives TV's Frank his present...a $25 savings bond (originally in Dr. Forrester's name) that will mature in thirty years, 2023. And just to make the entire thing even more ridiculous, Dr. Forrester doesn't even own a watch.

Characterization Marches On
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Gypsy went from being an incredibly stupid, incoherent creature to the most intelligent and competent character on the ship. She basically went from "the family pet" to "naïve little sister" to "Mom"....then finally Executive of "Con Gyps Co." Her intelligence is shown in Wild Rebels, though it requires her to shut down the ship, as she is normally operating its higher functions. By season 4, however, she's able to delegate and/or automate the resources needed to run the ship, as shown when she prepares to enter the theater in Hercules and the Captive Women. After that, she participates normally in host segments, occasionally serving as Mama Bear to the other Bots (see The Beatniks), and her earlier simplicity is essentially forgotten, though she is still naive compared to Crow and Servo. Joel started off as a more resentful creator towards the Bots, rather than the Team Dad he would be famous for. KTMA/Season 1-era Dr. Forrester was a deep-voiced Bad Boss, almost a polar opposite of the hammy Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain we all know him as.

The Stinger
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_48081842
comment
The Stinger: In episode 205, Rocket Attack USA, at the end of the credits, they replayed a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment involving a blind man, as if to say to the viewer "yeah, that actually happened". And thus, a tradition was born, one which would continue until the end of Season 10 (and beyond), barring The Movie and Season 8's Observer planet arc. The Movie has them riff their own credits instead. Season 8's The Thing That Couldn't Die, The Undead and Terror from the Year 5000 substitute clips of the Observers holding up their brains to the camera. In Terror, they all flash Slasher Smiles.note In case you don't get the joke: the stinger is when the "copyright Best Brains, all rights reserved" information appears. Finally, in The She-Creature, after the Observer planet is destroyed, the stinger is Bobo lying flat on his face and groaning after falling from orbit. The stingers for War of the Colossal Beast, Earth Vs. The Spider, Racket Girls and The Painted Hills use clips from shorts instead of the main feature: Mr. B. Natural (of course), Using Your Voice, Are You Ready for Marriage?, and Body Care and Grooming, respectively.

Laughing Mad: Twice. Once on Season 9's Devil Fish, where the film ends with the characters laughing at a bad joke; Tom and Crow continue the laughter all the way through the end credits, gradually sounding more and more unhinged. The second one happens in Santa Claus: when the white, mechanical reindeer begins to laugh, the three begin to laugh in fear, culminating in a high-pitched, horrible series of gibbering, shrieking and laughing.

Credits Gag: Several throughout the shows run, one of which was "Keep Circulating the Tapes". In the Netflix series, this gets updated to "Keep Circulating The URL". The "special thanks" section always lists a different set of people every episode. However, it always thanks "teachers across America"/"all teachers, everywhere" and frequently thanks the fanbase and the authors of the First Amendment. They riff over their own credits at the end of The Movie.

Plank Gag: Mike refers to the trope by name in San Francisco International Airport and gleefully demonstrates, injuring Servo and Crow in the process. Later in the Sci-Fi era, a skit in The Giant Spider Invasion had Servo with a long canoe on his head, explaining the concept of "portage". As he turns his head this way and that, he repeatedly bashes Crow's and Mike's faces.

Cliffhanger Copout
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_4dec4b64
comment
Cliffhanger Copout: Likely to show up whenever the gang watches back-to-back chapters from old Film Serials, such as Radar Men from the Moon and Undersea Kingdom. Joel/Mike or one of the bots is always bound to call attention to the copout when it comes. For bonus points, Servo actually references Annie Wilkes' rant from Misery: "That isn't what happened! He didn't get out of the cockadoodie car!" At the end of season 11, Jonah is seemingly eaten by a metal robot Reptilicus, and presumed dead. In the beginning of 12, he turns up alive but no cares to hear about how he managed it (despite his repeated attempts to tell them).

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The KTMA season has a lot of this, even compared to the early Comedy Central seasons. In no particular order: The Mads worked from within the Gizmonic Institute itself rather than Deep 13 and barely interacted with Joel at all (he spent more of his time reading out viewer letters than talking to the Mads); Dr. Forrester was clean-shaven and had a mullet and Round Hippie Shades, and for the first few episodes, Joel had a mullet as well; the Satellite of Love looked totally different; Cambot was a separate unit that operated the video camera rather than having it integrated into his body, Gypsy had a much more primitive design (and was sometimes called "Gypsum", and her voice was done by Josh Weinstein speaking while inhaling rather than just doing a rough falsetto), Servo (who didn't yet have the first name "Tom") was painted silver, and Crow had a slightly different body section; some episodes had different riffers, ranging from Joel doing a one-man-show to an episode where Joel was completely absent (this is also why Gypsy is in the theatre in the Intro); the intro used video-generated special effects for everything except the Satellite of Love, as opposed to the tabletop models seen in later seasons; the logo in the opening titles was different (parodying the logo of Land of the Lost (1974)), and the end credits used an instrumental version of the opening theme. Most notably, the riffs are improvised rather than written in advance, so there are often long stretches of silence from the riffers (and sometimes a riff is little more than "oh, shut up!") In the earliest pilot, made to pitch the show to KTMA, Joel's surname is Hodgson instead of Robinson, and he was the person who built the Satellite of Love before launching it into space of his own accord. Servo is also completely absent, and in his place is a robot called "Beeper" (Servo's silver body with a different - and somewhat creepier - head) who speaks in unintelligible gibberish. Servo also doesn't appear outside of the opening credits in the first KTMA episode of the series, while Beeper gets namedropped. Joel and Crow (here voiced by Weinstein) riff on the movie without him. In fact, Joel doesn't even enter the theater until several minutes into the movie, and Crow doesn't enter the theater until more than a half-hour into the episode. Servo finally shows up in the second episode, but he doesn't actually enter the theater until after the first commercial break, fifteen or so minutes in. During the KTMA days, the entire premise was this. Believe it or not, the show was not originally about the riffing. It was just supposed to be a B-movie matinee show with funny skits and host segments, a la Elvira or Svengoolie, but with the gimmick that the hosts joined you in the "theater."note That's why the guy under Comically Missing the Point was so annoyed at them Joel and the bots were originally only going to pipe up with humorous facts or the occasional joke, but Trace and Josh were so good at improv that more jokes kept popping up. It wasn't until they were putting together a compilation of their best riffs for The Comedy Channel that they realized that that was what the show should be focused on, just joke after joke, in the style they would become famous for. Servo's voice gets lighter during the Mike episodes, essentially becoming Kevin Murphy's speaking voice instead of the deeper Servo voice. Season 1 also has some of this, with Weinstein voicing Servo and playing the Mad sidekick (Dr. Erhardt). It's just not MST3K without Kevin Murphy's voice and TV's Frank. The first few Season 1 episodes began in Deep 13, based on the notion that the show is the Mads' video documentation of their experiments on Joel, before the focus switched to Joel and the bots. Also, after the experiment, Joel would ask the bots to say a good thing and bad thing about the movie, and he'd give them a RAM chip for a reward. This was phased out of the show during the second season. Also during the first season, Joel was far more likely to stand up and move about the theater during the movie for various sight gags. The pacing of the riffs is much slower too, resulting in a much different feeling to the later, faster and more energetic series. Corbett's Crow sounded strange for the first few episode because he was trying to imitate Beaulieu. The rest of the cast told him to relax and eventually, Crow sounded like... Bill Corbett. Similarly, Murphy tried to imitate Weinstein the first couple second season episodes. Murphy eventually settled on his natural voice for Servo. When Mike first took over, he carried on doing the Invention Exchanges like Joel did, but that only lasted a few episodes before they were phased out, due to Mike's style of comedy being less prop-oriented than Joel's.

But Thou Must!
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: If the gang refused to watch the film (Lost Continent) or attempted to walk out (Invasion of the Neptune Men), the Mads would force them to watch it through torturous means. The usual method of forcing them into the theater, as suggested by a number of throwaway lines, involved lowering the oxygen level everywhere else on the ship. If either of the 'bots tried to leave the theater, Joel would usually stop them; one notable exception was in The Magic Voyage of Sinbad, when Crow snuck out to go on a lifelong quest. Gypsy was permitted to leave after her short stint in the theater in Hercules and the Captive Women. During Soultaker, Crow left the theater in search of Visine as he had something in his eye during a scene in which the lead female started undressing. Fridge Logic applies here- Crow, Servo and Gypsy are robots, and don't need oxygen to breathe. But since Servo and Crow were built for watching movies with Joel, they almost never left the theater voluntarily during the film. They could, they just didn't. Notice that the Mads didn't really care whether the 'bots were there or not, just Joel/Mike.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: Why did Pearl Forrester give Mike and the Bots Hobgoblins? Because they jumped on her rent-to-own couch. There's also the time Tom attacked Crow with a biplane, riddling him and his little spiffy car with bullets. Why? Because Crow kept making Uranus Is Showing jokes earlier in the episode. Another example was in the host segments in The Wild World of Batwoman, based off the short Cheating - Crow copies Gypsy's paper about why cheating is bad and Tom suggests that Crow should die. Dr. Forrester will kill people for little, and in Michael Feinstein's case, no reason. Insult a dolphin or an electrician, you're going to get targeted by a Dolphin Mothership.

Donut Mess with a Cop
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_50f50a5e
comment
Donut Mess with a Cop: In Indestructible Man, Crow and Tom actually force Joel to sign a contract that prohibits him from making cop and donut jokes whenever a cop appears on the screen. And the writers actually did make sure they made no more cop and donut jokes from then on. However, they did slip up and make one while riffing Out of This World; possibly again in The Beast of Yucca Flats but, one could argue that in the context it's more of an Appetite For Apathy joke.

Book Dumb
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_53136954
comment
When Pearl took over as chief villain and Mad in Season 8, she went on to become a substitute for Clayton, her son, as well. While more Book Dumb than Dr. F, she was generally more intimidating as well, but their roles, motivations, and even their bullying Jerkass temperaments are largely the same. This is out of necessity as the role they fill, mad scientist holding the SOL captive and trying to break their wills with bad movies, is essential to the show's premise. Professor Bobo seems poised to take over as the bumbling assistant — which he largely does, but the show also adds Observer/"Brain Guy" as an Only Sane Man, more competent than Bobo but still cowed by Pearl, smarter than either one, the latter of which gives the show room to still make hammy villain speeches and throw in dramatic flourishes which Pearl herself can then trip up.

Book Ends: The Grand Finale for the original run ends with Mike, Servo and Crow on a couch in their apartment and The Crawling Eye on the TV, bookending the first (nationally broadcast) episode. Crow: "This movie looks kinda familiar, doesn't it?" (Of course, none of the actors in that scene were playing the characters back then. Not even Cambot.) Mike tries to exploit this. He knew that Joel left after he watched Mitchell (staring Joe Don Baker), so he thinks he's allowed to leave after he watches another Joe Don Baker film. It doesn't work.

comment
Affably Evil: TV's Frank sort of straddled the line between this and Minion with an F in Evil, as did Dr. Erhardt. Bobo and Brain Guy could also be fairly sociable when Pearl wasn't around. During the "Happy Thoughts" song in the Tormented episode, we cut to Frank making chalk drawings on the floor of Deep 13 and fantasizing in a childlike singsong voice about Dr. F's demise in a trainyard-switching accident: Lost Continent even had Frank gleefully telling Joel and the Bots, "You. Are all. Going. To DIE!" Even the Forresters were capable of engaging in friendly banter with Joel/Mike and the 'Bots when the mood struck them. Notably, it's also revealed in the Hamlet episode that Pearl apparently forwards mail to Mike so he can keep in touch with his family. Max, not unlike his father was to Joel, is pretty friendly to Jonah and the bots with the exception of the time he unleashed a killer robot on Jonah out of jealousy.

Set Wrong What Was Once Made Right: In Time Chasers, Crow travels back to the 80s to steer a younger Mike Nelson away from the string of low-paying temp jobs which would eventually get him trapped in space watching bad movies. He succeeds by convincing Mike to focus on his rock band instead. But upon returning to the present, Crow finds that Mike's place on the Satellite of Love is now occupied by Eddie, Mike's hard-drinking Jerkass brother—while Mike's music career ended with an early death in the middle of a show, just as his band was on the verge of stardom. Crow fixes everything by traveling back to the 80s again and talking his own past self out of trying to change the past.

Disrupting the Theater: The whole point of the series is the cast talking over whatever movie they're watching, but they're also the only ones in the theater, so it's not like they're bothering anyone. However, in the special episode "1st Annual Summer Blockbuster Review", Bobo joins Mike and the robots in the theater for the Men in Black segment, and gets on everyone's nerves by eating loudly, spilling snacks everywhere, and constantly interrupting to ask stupid questions. Eventually Tom Servo loses his cool and yells at Bobo to just get out.

In the Futurama episode "Raging Bender", the main characters are talking in a movie theater, only to be scolded by two familiar robotic silhouettes. In the Arrested Development episode "A New Start", a brief clip of a low-budget Fantastic Four movie DeBrie Bardeux had appeared in is shown, with Joel and the Bots silhouetted on the bottom. Hodgson and Beaulieu reprise their roles to get off a few riffs. The episode "Smashed" features a clip from similar knockoff of Apollo 13, and Joel and the Bots again pop up, albeit without dialogue. To help promote Season 11's premiere on Netflix, they had Jonah and the bots riff the opening two minutes of Stranger Things (See here.)

God Test: Parodied when the gang land in Roman Times. Pearl claims they are gods, and Brain Guy has to use his powers to demonstrate. Should be pretty easy given that the observers basically are gods... too bad Brain Guy has no imagination and just conjures a few spoons. Pearl suggests he make a refrigerator, but he says it would be pointless as the ancient Romans wouldn't understand what it was or why it was special anyway. Mike and the bots suggest he conjure a pony, but it turns out to be moot because realizing that Pearl and Brain Guy can talk to "gods in the sky" is enough.

Sanity Slippage: This happens a lot. Such as Mike believing he's Carol Channing, or the ending segment to Red Zone Cuba. As for Joel, here he is going off the rails while recalling the '60s in the Catalina Caper episode. Of course, this is justified in-universe; driving Joel/Mike/Jonah insane is, after all, the primary goal of the Mads, though for different reasons: Dr. Forrester was trying to find a movie with which he could Take Over the World by driving the governments insane. Pearl was just doing it for kicks. Kinga sought to franchise the experiments for money. Poor Crow seems to have had it the worst in the Sci-Fi Channel episodes. He was alone on the Satellite for 500 years, doesn't remember Mike upon their first reunion, and seems to have developed Split Personality symptoms where he believes he's something else. You really feel bad for him when you think about it. Hercules Against the Moon Men has Joel repeating "DEEP HURTING" as a Madness Mantra, while "It's only a movie" was used by all three in Tormented.

Breaking the Reviewer's Wall
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_626e2c8f
comment
Breaking the Reviewer's Wall: Characters from the film of the week show up on occasion, revealing the film to be a case of Recursive Canon. A case of what happens when this is put into reverse and collides with Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Mike and the bots' particularly harsh roastings of the reliability of Leonard Maltin's reviews, Pearl Forrester went out and got the man himself to recommend something. And while Pearl's name-blindness continued ("Stop bugging Mr. Siskel with questions; he's working for me.") Maltin was only too happy to recommend Gorgo even though he personally liked the film.

Viewers Are Geniuses
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_641cf81d
comment
Viewers Are Geniuses: One of the pillars of the humor is an impenetrably dense barrage of very, very specific pop culture references (and not so pop: an off-the-cuff Sophocles reference is not unheard of). As Joel Hodgson put it in the This Is MST3K documentary, "When we write a joke we never ask, 'Who's gonna get this?' We always say, 'The right people will get this.'" Kevin Murphy once mentioned that he imagined the people who did get the obscure references would feel like the show could read their mind. A lot of their references were subject to Memetic Mutation, too, such as the "I thought you were Dale" meta-reference. Getting every single joke in an episode usually requires multiple viewings and consulting a fan website (there are entire websites dedicated to deciphering the more obscure references). Impressively, they maintained this not only until the final season, but the spiritual spin-offs continue the tradition as well. Most notably Parts: The Clonus Horror; the show being used on MST3K was what led that film's director to sue Warner Bros. and Michael Bay over how their film The Island (2005) blatantly plagiarized his work. Fans of the show raised enough awareness of how The Island was a direct rip-off of Parts that Robert Fiveson felt he could take the big studio and director to court and actually stand a chance against them. In case you're wondering, he did sue but before the case could go to trial, DreamWorks SKG settled with Fiveson and the plaintiffs for an undisclosed amount, rumored to be a seven figure sum. Still, some of their jokes are literally inaccessible to anyone who is not them. Case in point: In response to the little sister in one of the Gamera movies running away, one of the robots says "Stop her, she's got Mike's keyboard." An ex-girlfriend of Mike Nelson's had not only taken his keyboard, but took it to Japan with her. Viewers, of course, would have no way of knowing this.

Self-Soothing Song: In the episode Red Zone Cuba, Mike and the bots are in such pain from this week's movie that they fear they'll never be able to feel joy again. In an attempt to cheer themselves up, they sing "a bouncy, upbeat song", with inane lyrics about household goods and office supplies.

Interface Screw: The bubbles that occasionally appear on screen during host segments in season 11. Episode 4 explains this by revealing that Kinga is somehow filming the show using a liquid, meaning that the bubbles are a rough equivalent to television static. The Crawl that appears later in the episode is, according to Max, caused by Jonah "hacking into the video plumbing".

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: In Quest of the Delta Knights, Pearl gives Mike a mental and physical evaluation, and Mike's perfectly healthy on both fronts. Incensed at not being able to break him, Pearl decides to analyze the situation in person, so she has Brain Guy make her and Mike switch places. A full third of the episode is Pearl doing the riffing with the 'bots. And yes, it's completely awesome. It also happened in Last of the Wild Horses with Mike and the 'bots switching places with Forrester and Frank when an accident sends the SOL into a Mirror Universe. Almost happened with Brain Guy as well, in Jack Frost. Mike almost tricked Brain Guy into switching places with him for the movie, but Brain Guy realized the trick and switched back just before the film actually started. This is most likely because Brain Guy's actor also performs Crow's voice. Having him riff on the film twice as two different characters would have been somewhat redundant. And how about Hercules and the Captive Woman, the only time that Gypsy joined in the riffing? She got one riff in but was so disgusted by the film's terrible quality that she left after a few minutes. In Time Chasers, Crow goes back in time to prevent Mike from ending up on the Satellite of Love. The present day ends up having Mike's much meaner brother Eddie be the human on the ship instead for about 20 minutes, until Crow goes back and undoes his previous work. In Devil Doll, Servo, inspired by the film's soul-swapping, asks the devil to turn him into a hot, delicious toaster pastry. It's done...and he spends the last quarter of the film riffing in toaster pastry form. Which makes for a rather hilarious silhouette. In High School Big Shot, the Mads send the guys a home chemistry set, Crow makes a formula that turns Servo into a giant angry version of himself. He spends the first couple of minutes of the episode as a giant silhouette of himself talking in Hulk Speak. Prince of Space is watched while the crew flies through a wormhole. At one point, Mike becomes a puppet and stays that way for a long stretch of the film. There was one episode where Crow's Evil Twin Timmy crept into the theater, started attacking Servo, then dragged him out of the theater and cocooned him on the bridge, a la Alien. In the special Mystery Science Theater Blockbuster Review, where they riffed on trailers for new releases that summer (Men in Black, Contact, Batman & Robin, etc.), Bobo, Brain Guy and Pearl all joined in on the fun. Giant Servo made a second appearance in the theater during Future War to scare the hell out of Mike and the others. A demon dog pops up and scares Joel, Tom and Crow right at the end of The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy. Cambot, despite being the only character to appear in every single episode, makes his one and only riff in The Sidehackers. During one of the racing scenes, Cambot displays an ESPN-esque scorecard.

Took a Level in Dumbass: Professor Bobo. When we first meet him (in Revenge of the Creature), he's actually a reasonably intelligent scientist and the Only Sane Man in Deep Ape. But as soon as he left Deep Ape, the first thing he does is shoot himself in the foot. Twice. It's only a downward spiral from there on. While never quite descending to true dumbassedry, Mike Nelson seemed to become ever more goofily incompetent and hapless during his time on the SOL.

When Brain Guy gets close, Pearl takes his brain hostage and escapes.

The Cast Showoff
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_741e8e7
comment
The Cast Show Off: The invention exchange, which showed off Hodgson's stage prop act. Also, Nelson had a background in musical arrangements and Kevin Murphy is a pretty talented singer; both skills got used pretty frequently — between the two of them, they're responsible for writing about three quarters of the songs over the show's run. Strangely enough, when Kevin and Mike wrote and performed an Ink Spots-style Thirties pop ballad ostensibly sung by the Observers, Mike lip-synced Kevin's lines and Bill Corbett lip-synced his own lines... which was tremendously confusing to anyone who'd been following the show regularly. Ironically, fans complained about the musical segments being less frequent during the Mike years, this being due to Nelson, already head writer and composer, taking over the hosting duties thus having less time for it. So during the years he was part of the cast, he couldn't show off as much. Show off his music skills anyway. Whenever Mike "turns into" some sort of celebrity (Carol Channing, James Lipton, Urkel, Robert De Niro, Tina Turner, etc.), it gives Mike a chance to show off his celebrity impressions. Season 11 starts off by showing Jonah's impressive drumming skills. Season 11 is also fond of using Felicia Day's singing talents, having her sing her introduction in the Love Theme and sing a duet with her Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog costar Neil Patrick Harris.

Is This Thing Still On?
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_751bd286
comment
Is This Thing Still On?: In Mitchell, Frank accidentally contacts the Satellite of Love by leaning on The Button. Since Joel and the Bots are on survival test maneuvers, Gypsy is the only one to respond. She overhears the Mads discussing how to kill temp worker Mike - and thinks they're planning to off Joel, which leads to Joel's escape from the SOL. Beginning of the End has Mike deciding to call the Mads instead of letting them call him. He catches them in the midst of some extremely unmasculine activities (Forrester exercising on a treadmill while listening to Sheena Easton on his Walkman; Frank wearing a facial mudpack and pigging out on ice cream in front of a daytime talk show). Clayton, predictably, panics when he realizes the line is open.

Put on a Bus
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Poor, poor Dr. Erhardt "goes missing" in between Seasons 1-2; Joel leaves the SOL and returns to Earth in an escape pod in Season 5; TV's Frank is taken up to "Second Banana Heaven" in Season 6. Also, this happens (sort of) to the entire remaining cast in the Season 7 finale. Joel and Frank's buses came back in Soultaker, though just as guest appearances for that one episode. Erhardt's bus wouldn't be seen again until Season 12, almost 30 years since his departure. In Season 13, he helps kidnap Joel from the year 3000 to put him back on riffing duty. This was a frequent occurrence in the KTMA days. Whenever a cast member went on vacation, their characters' absence was Hand Waved. Examples are Crow being frozen when Beaulieu was unavailable, and Joel being thrown out of an airlock when he took a break.

Accidental Astronaut: According to their original intro songs, both Joel and Mike were this, sent into space by the Mads against their will. However, this is downplayed in Mike's later seasons, especially once Pearl becomes the Big Bad. Averted with Jonah and Emily, since they were each already in space when Kinga trapped them into getting stuck on the Satellite of Love.

Remember the New Guy?
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_77b03c0a
comment
Remember the New Guy?: The Mads in the Revival are Kinga Forrester and TV's Son of TV's Frank (aka Max), despite the fact that Dr. Forrester and Frank never alluded to having children in the original run. Possibly justified, since Pearl says she tried to get rid of Kinga numerous times (suggesting she may have been an unwanted child; Clayton's relationship with her mother must have been over long before he began the Experiment) and Max could be a clone of Frank rather than his actual son (implied by the scowl Kinga gives him when talking about dealing with clones). Lampshaded in Season 13, when Joel and Pearl finally meet. Pearl asks Joel about what Clayton had said about her and Kinga ("she must have been all of four years old when you came along"); Joel is completely nonplussed because Dr. Forrester had never mentioned anything about his family.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: The Critic Breakdown seen in Manos came from the experience of writing the episode. Joel became convinced they weren't going to make an episode out of it, the thing was just too weird. He didn't dare say anything, though, because he felt the others were thinking the same thing and if he said it, they would say it, and they'd talk themselves into giving up — and that was a slippery slope to be going down. So all that dread went into the writing and fuelled the episode.

Many fans feel the tone of the show got a bit edgier and angrier as it went on, particularly after the move to the Sci-Fi Channel and the addition of native Brooklynite Bill Corbett to the main cast. At the "Crow vs. Crow" panel at Dragon*Con '09, Corbett said that the Sci-Fi Channel sent them notes, telling them to make the show "edgier", which apparently the crew didn't really understand. "What do you want, more fart jokes?"

Rewind, Replay, Repeat: In Daddy-O, Joel becomes obsessed with the "apple-slapping" scene and replays it over and over, mouthing the line "I want an answer!" After watching It Conquered the World, Joel and the Bots insist on rewatching the pseudo-philosophical speech given by Peter Graves' character at the end ("He learned almost too late that man is a feeling creature..."). After which the Mads, equally fascinated, rewind and watch it yet again. And then it plays again over the closing credits. The "To be or not to be speech" from Hamlet is replayed several times, thanks to a talking Hamlet doll. On the latter two occasions, the featured speech was repeated because the film (hence the episode) ran short, necessitating filler.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mike has a few of these, most notoriously the whole planet-destroying dealie. Hence trope naming Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds. Ironically, Mike helped contribute to the destruction of his 1st planet by aiding the apes to FIX a thermonuclear bomb. Joel is ultimately responsible for why neither he nor Mike can control when the movies begin or end. Because according to the Theme Song, he used those parts to make the bots.

comment
Actually Pretty Funny: Gypsy's comments often fall flat but not always. Every now and then, they would admit a joke in the movie being riffed is funny. Notably, The Magic Sword was commented on by the cast (both In-Universe and out) as actually being a rather good movie on its own. Similarly, the four "Russo-Finnish" films, The Day the Earth Froze, The Magic Voyage of Sinbad, The Sword and the Dragon and Jack Frost, are all usually acknowledged as being beautifully shot and really gorgeous to look at, but very confusing. Kevin Murphy guesses that much of that could be the dubbing. Joel also noted that Giant Monster Gamera wasn't that bad.

Out-of-Context Eavesdropping: The out-of-theater plot to Mitchell revolves around this. The Mads have hired Mike Nelson to help with an inventory of the Deep 13 lab beneath the Gizmonic Institute, but they find him insufferable and decide to kill him. Gypsy overhears them plotting and comes to the conclusion that they're plotting the death of Joel and spends the rest of the episode plotting to help Joel escape the Satellite of Love. Thus did Joel leave the series to be replaced by Mike.

Interspecies Romance: Mike's descendants indulged in this with various species of apes in the intervening years before the Season 8 premiere. To say nothing of Crow's heartfelt fascinations with Kim Cattrall and Estelle Winwood. And don't forget Gypsy's strange obsession with Richard Basehart throughout the entire run of the show. Servo fell really hard for Catalina Caper's Creepy Girl. And his pet turtle, Tibby. It's revealed in Hobgoblins that Bobo is having an internal crisis over his romance with a woman not of his species; one who is very close to him and whom he loves passionately despite her occasional meanness towards him...turns out it's a chimpanzee named Emily.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The Nanites and Magic Voice were pretty much forgotten about in Season 10. We never even learn their ultimate fate in the finale. In a couple season 2 and 3 episodes, there were contests for viewers announced. The results of those contests, such as the "What's the Deal with Kenny" from the first Gamera movie or the "Ways to Snuff Gaos" from the third one, were never revealed. The show later lampshades this where they seem to announce another contest, then simply tells the viewers to crumple up their responses and throw them away.

Instant Home Delivery: Averted with Torgo's Pizza, as it took him two hours to deliver the pizza (although it was still warm). It took him nine months to get some sodas from his car.

Medium Awareness
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_884e513b
comment
Medium Awareness: In-Universe the characters are aware they're being filmed (hence Cambot's existence), and sometimes use this knowledge as part of a gag in a host segment (like the time Cambot played back audio from I Accuse My Parents so they could lip sync to it). Taken even further in The Return since Kinga puts a greater emphasis on the broadcasting part of the experiment than the Mads before her. As a result, Jonah is aware he's acting a theme song out, Netflix conventions are discussed, the complexities of patching the countinity of the previous seasons with the current one is directly addressed, and at one point Jonah "hacks" the Mad's feed to get an onscreen text crawl.

Go Mad from the Revelation
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_89b8822f
comment
Go Mad from the Revelation: The Mads are trying to find the one movie that will do this to a person, so they can broadcast it across the Earth and drive humanity to the brink of insanity, allowing them to be conquered. Failure Is the Only Option. They do come close with a few movies, including Manos: The Hands of Fate, Monster a-Go Go, The Castle of Fu Manchu, Invasion of the Neptune Men, Hobgoblins and Red Zone Cuba.

Filling the Silence: While in very early seasons, the hosts would riff right over the top of the film's dialogue, they quickly realized that it was better to time their jokes for the silent spaces between the lines so that audiences could follow both the film and the jokes.

They Killed Kenny Again
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_8b5db38b
comment
They Killed Kenny Again: Frank and Servo. Justified for Servo since he has thousands of replacements for himself. In the original series finale, he detonates them all; however, Crow makes more in Season 11. Spookily predicted in Fugitive Alien. Space Mutiny has one character killed, only to inexplicably reappear alive and well... IN THE VERY NEXT SCENE. (Though, in this case, it's due to the movie's editor not paying attention to what order the two scenes were supposed to be shown in, rather than the character actually coming back to life.)

Big Budget Beef-Up
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_8bb8d21f
comment
Big Budget Beef-Up: The revival has a budget of a little over $6 million which admittedly isn't that much as far as contemporary TV productions go, but the unique way in which the series is filmed means that money now goes a lot further than it ever has, and the falling costs of practical effects means they can do a lot more than they could back in the day. Some examples from the trailer alone include Servo flying in the theater (a similar shot in a Host Segment was only possible in The Movie) while Crow stands on the seats below him and dances, and Gypsy now descending from the ceiling rather than rising up from the floor. And for the first time in the show's history, it was cheaper to shoot in Los Angeles rather than the Midwest.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_8cb1a369

Took a Level in Jerkass: Tom Servo and Crow seem to take a level with every Channel Hop. When the show moved to the Sci-Fi Channel they were a lot quicker to anger, often snapping at Mike, even when he's done nothing wrong. Then when the show was revived, their relationship with Jonah bounces between They Really Do Love Each Other and treating him as The Friend Nobody Likes at the drop of a hat.

Just One Second Out of Sync: When entering the wormhole in Prince of Space, its first side-effect resulted in Tom being three seconds ahead of Mike, Mike being ten seconds ahead of Crow, and Gypsy being fifteen seconds ahead of all of them, and Tom and Cambot the only ones who knew what was going on. Tom used his temporal advantage to steal Crow's chicken puppet twice and Gypsy's burrito was cooked before she put it in the oven.

Designated Hero
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_8e11040f
comment
Designated Hero: In-Universe, films featured are prone to these, and the Satellite of Love occupants never fail to turn their snark on them: The Pumaman. Given the fact that the "hero" incredibly feeble, whiny, and ineffectual at genuine superheroics, Crow thinks it's time to admit that Vadinho is the real hero. In the episode Beginning of the End, Mike and the Bots make a running gag at getting increasingly angry at how Peter Graves's scientist character is treated as a Science Hero, when in fact, it was his nuclear energy experiments that created the mass-murdering giant grasshopper menace in the first place. Mitchell. The title character is an alcoholic slob of a cop who behaves like a complete Jerkass most of the time. Joel even says the line, "Our hero, ladies and gentlemen", when we first see Mitchell. Joe Don's character in Final Justice is a Jerkass Cowboy Cop who ignores every rule in the book, threatening blameless individuals for information, and kills crooks by challenging them to Old West-style gunfights. In the end, he kills the main villain by challenging him to a gunfight...and then shooting on "two". "Our hero, a big stinky cheater". In the episode Wild Rebels, Joel & The Bots point out the only remotely heroic thing the protagonist does is flash his lights at some cops, which actually only gets the cops killed. Adam Chance from Agent for H.A.R.M.. Adam does nothing for the first 45 minutes. He doesn't find the antidote to SPORE, can't save the man he's assigned to protect, and misses an obvious mole until after the mole kills two people. Mike and the Bots were all over him about this, with them believing that the only thing he does is to call the Archery Convention in Vienna, which reveals who the mole is... and then Adam reveals he knew all along.

Christmas Carolers
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_9622c172
comment
Christmas Carolers: In Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Joel and the Bots sing Crow's original Christmas carol, "Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas". Later, at the end of the episode, they sing an actual Christmas carol with slightly different lyrics: "Angels we have heard are high / softly sipping old champagne..." In Santa Claus, Mike and the Bots perform their surpassingly P.C. carol "Merry Christmas (If That's Okay)". In The Touch of Satan, Crow and Tom get the two varieties of wassailing confused. They go house-to-house (or rather, to Mike, since no one else resides on the Satellite of Love) and sing Christmas carols with new lyrics promising severe financial penalties to anyone who doesn't immediately give them wassail. They themselves have no idea what wassail actually is. Much to their disappointment, Mike finds some canned wassail, and it tastes "skunky". In The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, the Bots want to carol with Jonah, only to get annoyed with him when he chooses to sing Good King Wenceslas, "the only carol no one knows the lyrics to".

Money, Dear Boy: Invoked when a well known actor is in a film obviously beneath them, someone speculates it's because they've got bill to pay.

David Carradine in Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2, needed to make a house payment. Dom De Luise in Munchie, needed health insurance and Don Bluth must have taken a year off.

Took a Level in Badass: Pearl Forrester became a lot more aggressive and less matronly when she became the principal villain during the Sci Fi Channel era.

Values Dissonance
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_9c6ba43a
comment
Values Dissonance: In-Universe. Once in a while, the show would feature a movie or short that had some instance of this. The riffers would always react to any display of Values Dissonance in a movie, usually by boo-ing or shouting at the movie. Some examples: a home economics short that suggested women go to college to learn how to be good housewives. A short that showed a typical day of a trapper finding and capturing animals from the wild to ship them to a zoo. And the end of Manos: The Hands of Fate which showed the little girl as one of the Master's wives. At least one movie was actually edited for this reason: Invasion of the Neptune Men, a Japanese monster movie which featured actual aerial bombardment footage of Japan during WWII to show destruction of the city by the invading Neptune men. A shot was still included of a building with a picture of Adolf Hitler on the side (it was an advertisement for 'Mein Kampf') being destroyed, leading to the riff: "They blew up the Hitler building!! What's next, the Mussolini Mall?!" The latter lead to some vicious riffs against Japanese film in general near the end of the movie. Suffice it to say, in-character and out of character, they were not happy with the incorporation of the footage into the movie.note There's been some debate over whether the bombing is actual war footage or outtakes from a Japanese war movie made around the same time as Neptune Men.

Time Travel: For the eighth season, the show was moved from "Next Sunday, AD" to the year 2525 (Man is not, in fact, still alive), then to Roman Times, and finally back to the present. Earlier on, the Mads claimed to have invented a "really real time machine." It wasn't. Time travel becomes a major plot point in Season 13 with the involvements of Dr. Kabahl (the strange financier from the future) and an aged Joel Robinson from the year 3000.

Fridge Logic applies here- Crow, Servo and Gypsy are robots, and don't need oxygen to breathe. But since Servo and Crow were built for watching movies with Joel, they almost never left the theater voluntarily during the film. They could, they just didn't. Notice that the Mads didn't really care whether the 'bots were there or not, just Joel/Mike.

Who's on First?: A variant is performed in one of the skits in Invasion of the Neptune Men, only the subject is Japanese theater. When Mike is asked by Crow and Tom if he likes any Japanese theater, Mike responds: "Noh." Cue Sustained Misunderstanding. A dirtier one has Pearl attempting to have Brain Guy act as The Igor so she could be certified as a mad scientist. His misunderstanding is hilarious.

Overly Long Gag
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly Long Gag: Doubled up in Daddy-O: first, Joel's obsession with the fruit-slapping scene in the final host segment leads Frank to delay the button-pushing by offering Dr. Forrester fruit several times. Finally, when Frank does push the button, the credit crawl only lasts until "written by: Michael J. Nelson - head writer", returning to Deep 13, where it's discovered that the Miracle Growth Baby (a holdover from Time of the Apes) has broken the keyboard, and Frank seems unable to hold the button down long enough to get past Mike's credit. Dr. F finally solves the problem with Alt-F7, allowing the rest of the credits to finally roll. But don't take our word for it... Doctor Forrester spends the entire end credits of the First Spaceship on Venus episode barfing in the "junk drawer". Then there's Crow's guitar solo in The Dead Talk Back, and Mike's Urkel impersonation in San Francisco International Airport (which only ends by Torgo's appearance as the Only Sane Man). This leads to the bots preemptively stopping Mike's Fonzie impression in Angels Revenge... with a cannon. Mike listening to the dance music from The Creeping Terror for two minutes before going to commercial. In The Rebel Set, a discussion happens about what everyone would do if they had a day in Chicago. Crow ends up giving a very, very long detailed version of what he wants. Servo gets in on the fun (coincidentally in the same episode as The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies), with "HELPING CHILDREN THROUGH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT". No, it's not HECTRAD — each letter in the acronym stands for something else. note Conniff loved gags like that, so they would often indulge him with skits such as this one. Bobo making a sandwich at the end of The Undead. In The Sword and the Dragon, Crow and Servo take nearly five minutes to do the joke about slits and piers. Mike and the Bots laughing at the end of Devil Fish. Dr. Forrester slapping Frank during the credits at the end of The Beast of Yucca Flats. In a similar vein, the bit in Teen-Age Crime Wave in where Frank's alter-ego Doughy Man is repeatedly shot with Mace Mousse by Clay and screams in agony. The bots and Jonah coming up with toy names for all the model ships shown in Star Crash and then when Jonah tells them to cut it out because they've run it into the ground, Servo keeps it going anyways...leading Jonah to take off his globe and throw it away in the theater. "Mike's tripping!", from Final Justice.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: In Devil Fish, Pearl invokes the Trope when all that's left is the Captain's Dinner - with Bobo being Captain. You can guess things go horribly wrong. In Last of the Wild Horses, Dr. Forrester tries to send a machine despite warnings a ion storm is happening. He says this exact quote right before everyone gets sent into a Mirror Universe.

Canon Discontinuity: The show's crew insist on referring to the first Comedy Channel season as Season One, and the first season of the Netflix revival as Season 11. The KTMA season is referred to as "Season 0" or "Season K" (for "KTMA") by fans, or "a 22-episode-long pilot" according to Trace Beaulieu. IMDb considers the KTMA episodes as Season One and the Netflix series gets an entirely separate page. The Time Travelers ends with a brief celebration for being the 200th episode. Oddly enough, the numbers only add up to 200 if you do count the KTMA season and you don't count The Movie.

Stripped to the Bone: As seen in Teenagers in Outer Space (404). A ray-gun kills animals & humans & leaves skeletal remains behind. As for the show itself, this happened three times: Dr. Forrester's head is reduced to a skull when the Mads try to build a cold-fusion Walkman in ''The Black Scorpion'' (Dr. Erhardt's head just gets really huge); in ''The Magic Sword'' TV's Frank loses the flesh on his face (except his eyes) when handling the Mads' invention, biohazard-absorbent throw pillows; and after ''Code Name: Diamond Head'', Dr. F and Frank push the button while in the bath.

In the case of The Sidehackers, the writers approved the film for use on the show after seeing only half. Then just at the midway point they were shocked to see the hero's girlfriend brutally raped and murdered by the villain. They removed the scene and just had Crow announce "For those of you wondering at home, Rita is dead." After that, MST3K made it a policy to screen the entire film before approval.

Alas, Poor Villain: While Pearl doesn't actually die during Danger: Diabolik, it's hard not to feel sorry for her as she's forced to watch her life's work — and her son's — crumbling around her. Joel and the Bots had this feeling in Warrior of the Lost World after cheering on Megaweapon to kill the film's protagonist when the noble machine was destroyed. To their delight, it turned out that only the character died, but the actor playing him (reminder: Megaweapon is a truck) was still alive, and the bots had a nice conversation with them over the telephone.

Deadpan Snarker: Everyone on the SOL seems to be this at least part of the time, if only to preserve their own sanity. Joel is arguably the most deadpan of them all though, while Mike notably leans more to the snark side.

Accidental Misnaming
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_af616e40
comment
Accidental Misnaming: A Running Gag on the show is the riffers mishearing characters' names and giving them similar-sounding nicknames, like "Cornjob" (Kon-chan) from Gamera vs. Guiron and "Big Stupid" (Bix Dugan) from The Girl in Lover's Lane. Very often, early in Mike's tenure and sporadically throughout the rest... Mike was variously called "Mitch", "Mark", "Matt", "Nelstone", "Neilsen", "Nelgert", etc. Often overlapping with "The Nicknamer" trope. This was taken up to eleven at the start of the eighth season, as Crow claimed to have forgotten Mike was part of the SOL, and thus called him pretty much whatever he wanted. Also, Frank would regularly refer to Dr. F as "Steve" despite his name being Clayton. Pearl often called Crow "Art", a Call-Back to a child's letter sent to the show which misinterpreted a Honeymooners homage with Crow taking the Art Carney role as Crow's real name.

Catchphrase
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_b01abe4f
comment
Catchphrase: Tons of them, not to mention the various callbacks which mutated into running gags as they cropped up in episodes years after the original film. "Welcome to the Satellite of Love!" "The Mads are calling." And, later, "Pearl's calling." "The Mads/Pearl" is frequently replaced with the names of completely different people, or insulting nicknames. The Mads, and later Pearl, retaliate by coming up with their own condescending nicknames for the SOL crew. "Hello, boobies!" Dr. Erhardt's chipper "Enjoy!", just prior to sending Joel the experiment. Dr. Forrester's "Send 'em the movie, Frank." Kinga's "Enter the nightmare-fueled world of... <Movie of the Week>!" "We got movie sign!" and sometimes, "Movie in the hole!" "What do you think, sirs?" "File this, Larry." "Push the button, Frank." "Push the button, Max." In season 1, the Mads would ask Joel his opinion of their invention, and he would respond by rattling off a bunch of synonyms for "evil" and "insane". The Mads would then, without fail, lean into the camera and go "Why, thank you!" "What do you want from us? We're evil! EVIL!!" Plus that... noise Frank made ("Eyukgaeeoo!") in his first few seasons. Mike's nasal "Hey!" when he's caught off-guard by a riff. "Would you take that off!" whenever Mike finally realized the Bots were still wearing their costumes from the host segments into the theater. "Stuffing or potatoes?" (The correct answer being "stuffing.") "Look familiar, Mike?" One episode features Crow ordering a bunch of t-shirts with a new catchphrase he hopes will catch on: "You know you want me, baby!". Mike tries to pick one from a book, but the best he can come up with is "We're all out of toner." "He/She/They said 'area'!" For that matter, the show's unusual euphemisms for "crotch" are common enough to be a Catchphrase-cum-Running Gag all their own. Examples included "area", "batch", "breadbasket" and "store". "Shut up!" in earlier theater segments. In response to a particularly bizarre statement: "Oh, sure, I can see how tha—HUH??" "Dickweed" was Crow's go-to insult that he occasionally passed around to the rest of the crew. Similarly, "You're ruining it for me!" was something both he and Tom said at different times during the Joel years. "Fakeyyyy."invoked "Reeeall." "I wet 'em!" "Go on..." "Can the balloon juice!" "Friends are visiting from Europe." (whispering) "Conform... Conform...!"

Ditzy Genius
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_b0485a20
comment
Ditzy Genius: The theme song implies that Joel himself is one. Gypsy is often pretty ditzy, and that's mostly due to her size; since she's controlling the SOL most of the time, though, her super-powerful mental capacity is greatly diminished. Jonah is quickly established as being a Gadgeteer Genius in the vein of Joel, but so far it seems he can be easily distracted. His Message in a Bottle apparently severely downplayed his need to be rescued before going completely off script to talk about his childhood issues.

Loners Are Freaks: Crow decided to return to the Satellite of Love after exploring the Edge of the Universe for a whole five minutes, and spent 500 years redecorating. After Mike, Tom and Gypsy returned, he couldn't remember Mike, changed his beak, and for some reason carved fertility statues in an attempt to woo himself. He also got involved in the illegal donut trade, and won a pair of nanobots in a county fair, and explored the "lower levels" of the Satellite of Love and discovered the mole people living there.

Rearrange the Song
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_b24ce4b2
comment
Rearrange the Song: The lyrics (and, sometimes, arrangement) of the theme song changes according to significant changes in the cast and/or plot and/or viewing platform. The entire broadcast TV run of the show used the same basic backing track arranged by Charlie Erickson, but the vocals were re-recorded for season 1 (when the show moved to national television), season 5 ½ (when Mike took over as host), season 7 (after Frank left), season 8 (when the show moved to Sci-Fi and Pearl took over as the main villain) and season 10 (to finally reflect season 9’s changes to the setting). The Mike era also adds an extra layer of percussion, made to sound like whirring and clanking machinery. Each re-arrangement of the song kept Joel’s voice during the Robot Roll Call part, presumably since that part never needed changing. An instrumental piano arrangement was used for The Mystery Science Theater Hour. A rockabilly version of the song (with season 7’s lyrics) was recorded by Dave Alvin of The Blasters for MST3K: The Movie, but the full version wasn’t used; an instrumental version played over the end credits. The movie’s instrumental score by Billy Barber also incorporates some elements of the theme song. For the Netflix revival, the main theme song is completely rerecorded. They've got a full live band (with a horn section) playing it, and Har Mar Superstar sings it. Also in the Netflix revival, the Ad Bumpers and credits feature instrumental covers of songs from prior seasons, like "Living in Deep 13" from The Violent Years, or Servo's "Canada Song" from The Final Sacrifice. The theme song was rearranged once again by Paul and Storm for season 13, with some chiptune-esque elements and lead vocals by whoever’s voicing Tom Servo for that episode.

Take That!
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: In "Mitchell", Joel escapes from the Satellite of Love on a single-seat escape pod because it was hidden in a crate labeled "Hamdingers", which Gypsy comments that no one likes. The host segments during "The Incredible Melting Man" are digs on the filmmaking process that the crew had to deal with while making the movie. Also a few less subtle digs, such as "The Sandy Frank Song". They seem to have genuine contempt for Japanese animation and refer to them as "ultra-violent porn cartoons". This is no longer the case in the revival years, likely because anime has become more mainstream. During Laserblast, Mike and the bots spend the entire duration of the credits ribbing Leonard Maltin for giving the film two and a half stars out of four, and compare other films to Laserblast's rating. "Mike Nelson is Lord of the Dance!" is one of these to Michael Flatley's annoying commercials. Mystos is one to the Mentos commercials and the Cowboy Mike's Ricochet Barbecue Sauce is probably one for KC Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce commercials of the time which emphasized the boldness of the sauce. Both of which would air with the show. In Avalanche, Jonah and the bots have a PSA against recent "hybrid B movies" such as Sharknado. They made constant references to Jackson Browne in the later seasons whenever a character was shown attacking a woman, in reference to accusations of Domestic Abuse toward Daryl Hannah. An In-Universe rip on Executive Meddling: Mike, playing the part of studio exec, alters Crow's TV series treatment of The Final Sacrifice beyond recognition. The title is different, the show is set in the US instead of Canada (possibly Pittsburgh; but they'll still shoot the film in Canada), the main character (now female with a different name) is living in an apartment with a bunch of other girls (thus completely changing the genre). Also, Mike wants recurring, "tasteful" full frontal nudity of Rowsdower. (The FCC would certainly have a ball with that!)

My Beloved Smother: Pearl Forrester, and HOW. For example, she forces Clayton to play the trombone (with a ruler as punishment), whines loudly CLAYTON! every few seconds when she's sick, and even when she is happy when Clayton is reverted to childhood in the first series finale, she reveals she killed him when he grew up to do stupid movie experiments all over again. (That doesn't stop her from doing the same thing "in revenge" for her son's death at her hands.) Before we even meet Pearl, Dr. Forrester admits that his mother's overbearing ways were the source of his evil, "fueling my badness".

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_b7bc7d28
comment
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Crow and Servo both have their moments, but the 'evil mirror universe' Servo who appeared in Last of the Wild Horses probably takes the cake: The Satellite crew want to be distracted. Any distraction from the so-called 'plot' of these films is a welcome relief. If dogs show up in an experiment, the guys will typically coo "Puppy!" and try to get its attention, even if it's supposed to be a horrible monster. One of Crow's early Character Catchphrases is "Kitty!", blurted whenever a lion or other big cat (or, in one case, an iguana) is shown onscreen. During Crash of the Moons, Joel and the 'Bots take time out from making fun of John Banner's performance to coo over a baby, whom one of them dubs "the first likable character in the film." Megaweapon distracted them for the entire second reel of Warrior of the Lost World. The bouncy-looking couch in Hobgoblins, which delighted Tom. Mike and the Bots found two ants fighting over a dropped piece of candy on the theater floor more exciting than the chase scene going on in Soultaker at that point.

comment
Overused Running Gag: Repeatedly using the same tired joke over and over would, like Lame Puns, invoke Joel's ire and result in arms and domes being yanked off. Whenever someone approaches shining a flashlight into the camera ... "It's the The NBC Mystery Movie !" Ended when Joel forcibly made the bots never make that reference again. The Reality Subtext was that the writer room signed an agreement never to do that joke again. A similar pact was made with Donut Mess with a Cop. "By this time, my lungs were aching for air!" ...To the point where in Gamera vs. Barugon, Joel forbids Crow from ever using it again. Ever. Only for Joel himself to use it in The Unearthly and Crow to use it again when a letter referenced it. They stopped using the line before Mike became host. Which was too bad, since the line was first said by Lloyd Bridges' character on Sea Hunt: Mike Nelson. Joel's "Jim Henson's [name of something] babies!".

Publicity Stunt Relationship
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_bbbd7cd2
comment
Publicity Stunt Relationship: The last few episodes of season 11 involve Kinga Forrester trying to get married to Jonah Heston as a publicity stunt. In "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2", Kinga decides the best way to achieve both her goals (a media empire worth billions and a family) is to get married on the show as a publicity stunt. And she realizes her test subject Jonah Heston is the perfect sucker to marry, because: "A beautiful, sarcastic woman married to a big oaf. Oh, whoa! That is TV gold!" In "Carnival Magic", Kinga proposes to Jonah, and threatens to cut off his oxygen supply if he says no. Meanwhile, Kinga's Ignored Enamored Underling Max is crushed by this development. The wedding plans continue in "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't", and Kinga even claims that her wedding is more important than Christmas itself. The season finale, "At the Earth's Core" features the wedding day itself. But before the vows can be exchanged, Max interrupts the ceremony by attacking Jonah with a giant robotic snake, which seemingly kills him. When Jonah returns in the next season premiere, "Mac and Me", Kinga has already moved on to a new evil scheme and no longer has any interest in marrying him—and is in fact so unconcerned for Jonah himself, she doesn't even let him explain how he survived the robot snake attack.

comment
Berserk Button: On a general level, Joel/Mike and the 'bots responded with jeers and anger whenever a movie involved violence against women and children, or blatant racism or sexism. Mistreatment of animals is another one, as evidenced by their reaction to the short Catching Trouble, causing Joel to apologize on behalf of the human race. Invasion of the Neptune Men nearly pushed the crew over the edge. Specifically, the film's use of stock footage (some of which featured actual violent destruction recorded during World War II), deeply offended the cast. This trope actually led to a tightening of standards on the show early on. There was one movie (The Sidehackers) that was mostly outlaw side-car racing, with a rape and murder scene plopped in the middle of it which they didn't find out about until they were already partway into doing the episode and it was too late to change the movie. The scene was cut and a rather frank and non-humorous indication of the contents of the missing scene was mentioned on-air, and from that point on, Best Brains made sure that each film was watched in its entirety before selection. In-Universe, it's not a good idea to mock dolphins. Or electricians. Mike's brother Eddie has two: puns and implying his reality sucks.

You're Not My Father: Whenever Joel has to punish Crow, the latter will cry out "You're not my real father!" Gets a Call-Back when Crow hurls it at Jonah for acting chummy towards him and Servo in Reptilicus. Making it one of the only times the line has actually made sense in context because unlike Joel, Jonah really couldn't be described as his real father.

Back in Hercules Unchained Joel's Invention Exchange was the Steve-O-Meter. It had nothing to do with Hercules' actor Steve Reeves, but rather Steve Allen; it told you whether or not your idea had already been come up with by Steve Allen. Not only did Steve Allen already come up with Movie Sign, but he also already thought of the Steve-O-Meter.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_c007c53
comment
Cool and Unusual Punishment: The premise of the series — Dr. Forrester is "experimenting" on Joel/Mike to find a film bad enough to turn into a Weapon of Mass Destruction. The reason Joel was targeted? Forrester personally disliked him. The Mads were planning to kill Mike out of disgust after he was done helping renovate — making him quite the disposable temp worker — but Gypsy thought the Mads were finally going to off Joel. When Joel escaped, the Mads decided instead of killing Mike, they might as well shoot him up to the S.O.L. as a replacement. Dr. Forrester turned Pearl's date into a giant chicken in The Brute Man and is said to have killed her previous ones.

The Adjectival Superhero
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_c0fb9982
comment
The Adjectival Superhero: Mocked endlessly. During the Joel era, he and the bots came up with ludicrous superheroes for The Fantastic 85 during City Limits, with such characters as "Lint-Attachment Man", "Jazz Trio Man", "Really Deep Man" ("He's really deep, man!") and "Always-Smells-Like-Maple Man". During the Mike era, Crow (inspired by dialogue from Riding With Death) declared himself Turkey Volume Guessing Man. He had the power to guess the volume of any enclosed space, in units of turkeys. A Running Gag during The Pumaman, although Crow acknowledged Vadinho as the real one. During one host segment, the bots declared Mike to be Coatimundi Man, though this was likely an Excuse Plot to get the cold sesame noodles before Mike could. In a rare example, Mike shrugged off the costume and went for the cold sesame noodles. From The Movie: "East Man, he came out of the East to do battle with The Amazing Rando!" Also; "This looks like a job for Weenie Man! Weenie Man away!"

Fun with Acronyms
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_c25c7890
comment
Fun with Acronyms: In a very early KTMA episode, Joel informs Crow that his name stands for "Cybernetic Remotely-Operated Woman". Mike and the 'bots speculate on possible meanings for "H.A.R.M." in Agent for H.A.R.M. Possibilities include "Huge Angular Red Marshmallows", "Hirsute Astronauts Revile Massachusetts" and "Heuristic Analog Rental Meat." (The actual acronym is Human Aetiological Relations Machine.) S.O.L. can mean either "Satellite of Love", as it does on this show, or "Shit Outta Luck". In the original draft of The Movie, it's technically/officially called the Stationary Orbital Laboratory (but Joel changed it to Satellite of Love). Season 13 adds a second location, the Simulator of Love. And then there's the episode where the Bots claim to be participating in a walkathon for charity. Crow's charity is actually called WALKATHON, for Walkers At Large Kinetically Altruistic Through Hygiene Or Knowledge (he had to use the N because he didn't want to call it WALKATHOK). Servo, meanwhile, announces that he's walking for Helping Children Through Research And Development; Mike tentatively identifies it as HeCTRAD, but Servo explains that the acronym actually is H.E.L.P.I.N.G.C.H.I.L.D.R.E.N.T.H.R.O.U.G.H.R.E.S.E.A.R.C.H.A.N.D.D.E.V.E.L.O.P.M.E.N.T; it stands for Hi, Everyone. Let's Pitch In 'N' Get Cracking Here In Louisiana Doing Right, Eh? Now Then. Hateful Rich Overbearing Ugly Guys Hurt Royally Everytime Someone Eats A Radish, Carrot, Hors d'oeuvre, And Never Does Dishes. Eventually, Victor Eats Lunch Over Peoria Mit Ein Neuesberger Tod. What do you do if you encounter a time portal? It's as easy as T.I.M.E.! Responding to a question sent in by a young viewer, Servo once explained that the "K" in "MST3K" stands for Karl, the man who invented lightning. It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Generally averted. Even voice actor changes for the robots are given an in-world explanation/Lampshade Hanging and the old characters are occasionally referred to. Occasionally played straight though. Characters such as The Nanites and Magic Voice stopped being used around season 9, and by season 10, they were pretty much forgotten. Gizmonic Institute itself. Hodgson owns the rights to the word "gizmonic", so when Joel left the series, all references to Gizmonic Institute were deleted for the Mike episodes — the stylized "G" logo on the bridge door was modified into a gear with a hex nut silhouette within for the remaining Comedy Central episodes, and wholly replaced with a dog bone logo in the Sci-Fi Channel episodes. Meanwhile, Forester and Frank's uniforms were modified to have Deep 13 logos instead of Gizmonic Institute ones. In the revival season, however, it appears that Gizmonic Institute is an integral part of the show once again.

The same would happen when the "movie sign" light would go off, and the camera would leave them there, but they would always be entering the theater by the time Cambot arrived there.

Shout-Out
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The ship is named the "Satellite of Love." The very first lines of every episode, "In the not too distant future", were originally a tagline from the trailer for Mad Max. Beaulieu took the name of his character Dr. Clayton Forrester from the protagonist of The War of the Worlds and Joel Robinson's surname came from that of the protagonists of Lost in Space. Particularly commonly referenced is The Lord of the Rings — the greatest example being Torgo's conversion to Torgo the White in experiment 624. Keep in mind that the series ended before the LOTR movies were even made, giving this a Viewers Are Geniuses vibe, back then at least. It's commonly speculated that there's at least one Star Trek reference in every episode. No one's managed to confirm this. Almost all Joel-era episodes contained a reference to The Wizard of Oz. It's a Wonderful Life also gets quoted a LOT. In particular the "Out you pixies go..." line is quoted the most. Usually by Servo. In part 2 of Fugitive Alien, Servo bursts into the song "Underground" from Swordfishtrombones by another famous Tom. Not the last time Servo would sing that song. Servo keeps saying that "We are twenty-two minutes to Weathership Tango Delta". The basic plot of the show (guy trapped on a spaceship with only robots for company) was inspired by the film Silent Running. Joel's jumpsuit also looks rather similar to the ones worn in it. Hodgson has cited The Ωmega Man (specifically, the scene of Neville watching Woodstock) as an influence. Joel/Mike and the bots humming the Get Smart theme song whenever a character walks down a hallway. The hallway of doors are a reference to The Mickey Mouse Club when they take an old cartoon out of the "vault". Servo tends to sing "What would you saayyy if I sang out of tuuune?" in the style of Joe Cocker whenever a character in a movie dies dramatically. Of all things, there are frequent shoutouts to Alcoholics Anonymous in riffs and host segments. The movement's founder, Bill W., gets a mention in the thank you sections of many of the credit rolls. This is a Real Life Writes the Plot sort of thing — Conniff was a reformed alcoholic and former AA member. It was his idea to thank Bill W. in the credits, and a lot of the AA-related riffs drew on his knowledge of the group. Pearl would occasionally refer to Bobo as "Pinky" and Brain Guy as "Brain". This may be a mere coincidence, but Servo and Crow's appearances and personalities are distinctly reminiscient of Radio and Lampy, respectively. As noted above under Running Gag, Hawkeye's entreaty to Cora to "Stay alive, whatever may occur!" during the waterfall scene of The Last of the Mohicans gets referenced frequently. Kinga's henchmen the Boneheads/Skeleton Crew are a deliberate take on the Mooks from The Super Inframan.

Very often, early in Mike's tenure and sporadically throughout the rest... Mike was variously called "Mitch", "Mark", "Matt", "Nelstone", "Neilsen", "Nelgert", etc. Often overlapping with "The Nicknamer" trope. This was taken up to eleven at the start of the eighth season, as Crow claimed to have forgotten Mike was part of the SOL, and thus called him pretty much whatever he wanted.

Repeatedly using the same tired joke over and over would, like Lame Puns, invoke Joel's ire and result in arms and domes being yanked off.

Fake Rabies
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_cb21293e
comment
Fake Rabies: In one episode, Tom and Crow find Mike passed out with foam around his mouth and begin treating him for rabies (the movie they'd been watching had to this point entirely been about the main character seeming to contract rabies). It turns out Mike simply fell asleep while eating a creampuff.

Ad Bumpers
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_cb3fd288
comment
Ad Bumpers: They used several. A shot of the MST3K moon logo, spinning in space, is probably their most famous. It debuted in the Joel era, and was the only bumper ever used in the Sci-Fi channel seasons. The Joel era would also use exterior shots of the Gizmonic Institute (a model, of course). As references to Gizmonic were dropped after Joel's departure, interior shots of Forrester's lab were used during the Mike era on Comedy Central–often with the episode number and movie title written somewhere (notebook, chalkboard, etc.). For Episodes 705 and 706, a new bumper of the Satellite of Love floating over Earth was used instead. invoked The bumpers persist in the Netflix revival — even though they aren't strictly necessary, because there aren't any ads. (Word of Joel is that Kinga stuck in the bumpers anyway to build up brand recognition.) These include a shot of the updated moon logo, then a TV screen with the skeleton band performing behind it. With voiceovers from Max to either summarize the film so far, or gives snippets of world-building exposition.

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Forrester and Frank: "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US? WE'RE EVIL! EVIL!" Following in her father's footsteps, Kinga's goal is to grow the show's ratings and sell it to Disney for a billion dollars (in addition to selling off her various inventions and other side projects). Naturally, part of her plan includes the traditional kidnapped test subject, and frequent threats to poke him with a cattle prod or turn off his oxygen if he doesn't comply.

invokedDude, Not Funny!: In-Universe; any time a film or short has Values Dissonance, Joel, Mike and the Bots will have this reaction. The Mads' "Tragic Moments" figurines from Being from Another Planet was intentional; Joel and the 'bots agreed that making said clay figures was, indeed, the greatest evil Forrester and Frank had ever committed. Until Johnny Longtorsonote An action figure whose every body part is sold separately. came along. The general reactions whenever the movies watched would introduce an Ethnic Scrappy. During a scene in The Sidehackers where a villain sexually harasses a female character, the bots boo and jeer him. Then he punches her, and Joel stands up and yells at the screen in disgust.

Monochrome Casting: Pretty unsurprising, as it was initially cast in the American Midwest during the 1980s. Partially subverted in the reboot which has a bigger and more diverse production crew, including Baron Vaughn, the series' first non-white actor to play a major character. This doesn't actually show on screen though given that everyone is either behind-the-scenes or, in Vaughn's case, voicing a puppet. Season 13 introduced Doctor Kabahl, the strange financier from the future, also played by Vaughn.

Cloud Cuckoolander: For some reason, they turned Jack Perkins (Nelson) of all people into this during the Turkey Day sequences. If the camera is focused on Jack, prepare for, as the MST3K wiki puts it, "long, meandering, name-dropping rambles about nothing in particular". Gypsy also wanders into this trope at times, especially during the Mike-era. As does Joel on occasion, during the Joel-era. Hell, just about everyone on the show was one of these at one point or another.

Creator Provincialism
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_d68c925d
comment
Creator Provincialism: Many, many jokes in the old series were ones that only Wisconsinites and Minnesotans could get, and which caused serious confusion among the show's early Internet fanbase (such as "Hamdingers", a potted meat briefly produced in the 70's and so obscure that it became the equivalent of Cow Tools). This is especially present in The Giant Spider Invasion, where the crew gets a lot of mileage out of the film's rural-Wisconsin setting, riffing on almost-forgotten local ephemera like Dave Dudley and the Hartwig Gobbler.note This unfortunately led to some perceiving the creators as naive and sheltered; Mary Jo Pehl recalled that during a lunch meeting with Gramercy studio execs, one asked if they'd heard "out there" about this thing called the O.J. trial. In 1995. Toned down significantly in the Continuity Reboot, as of the main cast, only Hodgson is a Minnesota native and even he's been living in LA for the last 20 years.

Unusual Euphemism
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_d848560f
comment
Even for lesser versions of this, the crew has their own Unusual Euphemism: vapor locking, as in "Jeez, Joel, don't vapor-lock on us!" Used when a character, in-movie or out, is stunned into silence, gets trapped in a flashback, or is sent off on a nonsensical rant they can't get out of. For those not familiar with the term: when it gets cold enough (like Minnesota in winter), if any condensation gets inside a lock, it can freeze the mechanism solid, vapor locking — which can keep the key from being pushed into the lock, much less turned. The worst, of course, is when this happens when you've just walked to the edge of the parking lot at the end of an already-long day's work, something with which the writing room was obviously familiar.

The vocal changes to Tom and Crow were directly referenced and Hand Waved in-universe; the change from Josh's voice to Kevin's was explicitly laid to Joel tinkering with Tom's voice chip (which is also how they explained the different voice Josh began using in the KTMA era), while Crow's change was initially chalked up to something happening in his five centuries on the SOL while Mike and the others were noncorporeal, later suggested by Joel in his visit during Soultaker that Crow had changed his bowling pin (his beak).

Harmless Liquefaction: One episode opens with Mike coming upon Crow having melted himself into a puddle. It turns out that he confused his Thighmaster (an exercise device) with a Thawmaster (a hot plate designed for thawing out food). Of course, being a robot, he's okay.

Audience Participation: When the Sci-Fi Channel picked up the show in 1997, the channel ran a promotional special where the viewers were invited to submit riffs of their own to the 1956 sci-fi film World Without End. There was enough material submitted that two versions aired: one at 4PM an one at 11 PM.

All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_e04a365b
comment
All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles: The crew's general mindset of it, referenced for the sake of comedy especially when watching anything Japanese made. Makes sense, given that anime was a fairly new concept back then and the stereotypes were ripe for the picking. Except that the mindset carries over to RiffTrax. Though with RiffTrax, they tend to specify Hentai as the entire naughty tentacles genre, not just Anime. Averted in The Return with Jonah making references to mainstream animes such as Sailor Moon.

The Ditz: Gypsy appears to be one of these, due to most of her brain capacity being used to attend to the SOL's higher functions. In Wild Rebels, Joel shuts down some of the systems on the ship, which results in Gypsy communicating with the others in a "smarter" manner (while Joel is left gasping for oxygen). Professer Bobo (after he Took a Level in Dumbass) and TV's Frank played this straight.

With Lyrics: Became one of the show's many Running Gags, with Mike/Joel/Jonah and the bots making up lyrics for instrumental songs in the movies, or sometimes making up their own, humorous lyrics for songs that already had them. Notably examples include: "Sandy Fraaank, Sandy Fraaank! He's the source of all our pain...!" "He tried to kill me with a forklift..." "Come on and buy some crap from us / You know that you want to / And the white race will salute you / As you prance and gad about!" "There's a girl / on the roof / and she thinks / she's a cat / Yes she thinks / she's a cat / but she's not / but she's not..." "The Girl in Lovers Lane / With Jack Elam, not Jack LaLanne." "He's a high school... big shot. He's a big shot... in high school..." "BigshotbigshotBIGSHOT!" "He's a failure la la la, what a loser la la la, total failure, total failure, total failure laaaa!" "Puma Man, he flies like a moron." "It's the eightieees, do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan!" "ROWSDOWER SAVES US AND SAVES ALL THE WOOORLD!" "Star Waaarrrsss. This isn't Star Waaarrrsss"

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_e34400ab
comment
Ambiguously Gay: Played situationally and, naturally, for laughs with the majority of the male cast. MST3K showed one of the first gay marriages on TV (between Crow and Servo), and got away with it because it involved robot puppets in Racket Girls. It also helped that the wedding descended into chaos before the "I Do". For what it's worth, Servo looks fetching in a wedding dress. Observer, who isn't shy about it. And MAYBE Mike (the character), himself...a guy who admitted to kissing (presumably male) surly truck farmers, turns into a sputtering boob around women and who never notices when real hot scantly-clad women are being sexy on screen (commenting on stuff like stairs instead).

Art Evolution: The doors to the theater sequence has been refined since the KTMA seasons, and completely re-done for the Revival to fit a more "modern" sci-fi aesthetic (with similar gimmicks stored within). In season 13, during the episodes that Joel hosts, the theater sequence uses a remade version of Joel's Season 1-5 door sequence. (And the satellite itself is decorated to look more like the Season 1-5 version)

Artistic License – Sports: In the opening host segment for The Wild World of Batwoman, Mike is trying to teach the Bots Blackjack. Crow "hits" on two decks' worth of cards, all without even looking at his cards. Even though, under some rules, you can go as high as eight hits (which is the most you can possibly draw without going over 21note  4 aces, 4 deuces and 2 threes - at 100,000,000 to 1 odds), the standard rule is three (a "5-Card Charlie" is holding five cards without busting, counting as an automatic win for the player). In the opening for Red Zone Cuba, Mike and the 'bots are playing "high stakes" bingo and Magic Voice calls out "B-37". On standard Bingo cards, B holds numbers 1-15. 37 would be under "N".

comment
Flanderization: Dr. Forrester got a lot more manic and flamboyant as the show went on. Hell, back in KTMA, he was basically an Evil Sounds Deep Stoic. Bobo started out as a somewhat oafish if still reasonably intelligent gorilla scientist with occasional lapses into more bestial behavior, often playing Only Sane Man to the other, much less civil gorillas in Deep Ape. He starts taking levels in dumbass the moment he and Pearl leave Deep Ape, immediately shooting himself in the foot, twice. By the time Observer joins to complete their Freudian Trio Bobo has officially devolved into being Dumb Muscle. Inverted with Gypsy. In the KTMA days she was a simpleton, incapable of forming a complete sentence and often shrieking about obscure actor Richard Basehart. As the show went on she became capable of speaking more fluently, her obsession with Richard Basehart was toned down, and while she remained somewhat ditzy she ended up as more of the Team Mom to the others.

Infodump: Joel (especially in the early seasons) and Mike would sometimes—redundantly—explain the premise in the opening host segment. Only in Stranded in Space was it mentioned that the Mads were selling the experiments as a cable TV show. Wild Rebels is also the only episode where the theater is referred to as the "Mystery Science Theater". Season 11 begins with some Gizmonic Institute employees expositing about Jonah's mission, his exceptional prowess as a Gizmonic employee, and Bunny-Ears Lawyer tendencies. After the initial info dump transitions into Jonah's kidnapping and the theme song, Jonah then tells the audience about the modifications he's made to the bots and Kinga shares her capitalistic motivations to turn her family's newly resurrected experiment into a billion dollar brand she can sell off to Disney. Max's narration during the bumpers often info dumps bits of world building information, such as the invention exchange being a traditional greeting at the Gizmonic Institute.

Kabuki Theatre: One host segment of Invasion of the Neptune Men has the bots perform Kabuki Theatre for Mike. When Mike comments he prefers Noh Theater (another famous kind of Japanese theater), this leads to a misunderstanding where the bots think Mike doesn't like theater at all.

Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: The letter readings at the end of each episode from season 1–7. In season 0 (KTMA), it was a Fourth Wall Answering Machine. Season 11 brings back letter reading and shows off fanart kids did of the cast. However, because of the new streaming model, they only do this twice and both times were letters written in before the season aired. Season 13's paced release schedule allows mail to be sent in during the season and read in later epsiodes, just like the old days.

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: This riff from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, when the children start assaulting Volmar with toys. Servo had been doing this the whole episode. His "Christmas essay" was about Santa Claus visiting the ship...and the horrible consequences it would have on him and the reindeer. And during the credits, when Joel and Crow were singing along to the song, Servo's lyrics were about Santa and the kids dying in a similar way before they get back to Earth. Joel and Crow call him out for being so dark. Future War has Crow listing the list of ingredients he and Tom were eating for Pearl's drug test:

20 Minutes into the Future: Sort of. The theme song specifies "Next Sunday, AD", and most of the series seems to take place in something reasonably approximating the year in which it was made. Helps to know that during its KTMA run, it actually did run on Sundays! Thanks to Netflix and similar services, "scrolling up cinemas" doesn't seem quite as farfetched as it did during ether PBS or MST's presentations of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. Still working on that 'putting people into baboons' thing, though.

Misapplied Phlebotinum: Forrester was able to build and launch a space station with artificial gravity cheaply enough that he could bury it in Gizmonic Institute's budget, and load it with enough supplies to keep a one-man crew healthy for five and a half years before needing to send up a new person. This would revolutionize the space industry, and what does he do with it? Screen crappy movies. Joel built three robots with true, if unsophisticated, AI, and uses them primarily for companionship so that he doesn't have to sit through the movies alone.

Overly Long Scream: Happens in Revenge of the Creature when Mike and the robots contact Earth and see talking apes for the first time. Also in a host segment from The Screaming Skull. The 'Bots prank Mike into thinking Crow is a screaming skull, and it works a little too well. Ironically, Crow doesn't actually scream, but Mike is so terrified that he screams continually for the next few minutes while the 'Bots try to calm him down.

Product Placement
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Zig-zagged, due to the show changing hands several times and such things being necessary. During the show's original "trial run" on KTMA, a segment in Phase IV featured Dr. Forrester and Erhardt in a commercial for Pizza 'N' Pasta, a Twin Cities restaurant chain that was buying ad space on the network at the time. It's written into the plot of the episode as well: the Mads are currently cash-poor and need to earn $40,000, however they can, to continue their experiments, so why not shoot a small-business plug? The concept was parodied several times during the broadcast TV years, such as First Spaceship on Venus, when Forrester and Frank have a conversation about how they'll never, ever, ever do product placement... while Frank holds a Coke bottle with the label prominently displayed for the camera, and then shows the audience three flyers for Dick Tracy. Two of the major Kickstarter donors for Season 11 were the owners of the Dino Hotel in Lakeview, Colorado, leading to a mention in The Land That Time Forgot (and Executive Producer credits). With Season 13 airing on the Gizmoplex, an independent streaming platform, the show has had to feature actual episode sponsors (like Bearmanor Media and Onyx Path) for revenue's sake, and the ads are presented as recurring sketch segments with their own continuity. Regardless, any incidental examples in the movies featured, intentional or not, will be remarked on.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: After the first Comedy Channel season, Dr. Erhardt was replaced with TV's Frank as Dr. Forrester's stocky assistant. When original host Joel left, head writer Michael J. Nelson was promoted to leading man and Guy Shot Up In Space in mid-Season 5. Then after the sixth season, Frank was replaced by Pearl, Dr. Forrester's mother, as the thorn in her son's side. While the cast dynamics remained similar, the writers and cast actually went to some effort for the newcomers quickly differentiate themselves: Mike was less of a put-upon father figure to the 'Bots and more just one of the gang; Dr. Erhardt was more of a sycophant to Dr. Forrester, Frank more of an oblivious minion, Pearl his nagging, overbearing mother who never really understood what he was doing. When Pearl took over as chief villain and Mad in Season 8, she went on to become a substitute for Clayton, her son, as well. While more Book Dumb than Dr. F, she was generally more intimidating as well, but their roles, motivations, and even their bullying Jerkass temperaments are largely the same. This is out of necessity as the role they fill, mad scientist holding the SOL captive and trying to break their wills with bad movies, is essential to the show's premise. Professor Bobo seems poised to take over as the bumbling assistant — which he largely does, but the show also adds Observer/"Brain Guy" as an Only Sane Man, more competent than Bobo but still cowed by Pearl, smarter than either one, the latter of which gives the show room to still make hammy villain speeches and throw in dramatic flourishes which Pearl herself can then trip up. In Season 11, TV's Son of TV's Frank (aka Max) and Kinga Forrester fill the roles left TV's Frank/Bobo and Dr. Forrester/Pearl, respectively — Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo are still around, they're just not a part of the Experiment anymore. Jonah takes over the kidnapped human/host role from Joel/Mike. Notably this is done deliberately In-Universe by Kinga as she's trying to build Mystery Science Theater's brand recognition to launch her media empire and eventually sell the show to Disney. Although personality-wise, Kinga isn't very much like her grandmother and only has shades of her father. Jonah's personality is not generally Mike or Joel's (to the disappointment of the bots who were hoping he'd be the perfect combination of the two), but he does have something of Joel's tinkering habits, while like Mike he is an affable everyman who receives zero respect from Servo and Crow, preserving a similar dynamic during the host segments.

Insult Backfire: In Season 1, Joel would routinely scold the Mads for making their inventions so sick/evil/twisted, prompting Dr. Forrester and Larry to respond in unison "Thank you!" In the season 3 episode Earth vs. The Spider, Forrester did this again with Frank, causing the two to pause and look at each other uncomfortably for a few seconds. As a meta-example, when Kevin Murphy took over for J. Elvis Weinstein as the voice of Tom Servo in season 2, a fan sent the show a six-foot banner with the words I HATE TOM SERVO'S NEW VOICE in ASCII art. Murphy recalled in The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide that he felt flattered that someone had taken that much effort to make him feel as bad as possible, and hung the banner up in his cubicle for more than a year.

Sufficiently Advanced Alien: The Observers are a parody of this concept. Almost every claim they make about how advanced they are is immediately shown not to be true, though they are in denial about it. For example their most common claim is that they don't have bodies. On the other hand, they really do have powers. Dolphins are portrayed as such in "Devil Fish", as well as having Hair Trigger Tempers.

Series Fauxnale: The season seven finale has the satellite sent drifting through space by Dr. Forrester and reaching the edge of the universe, where Mike and the Bots turn into pure energy. When the show was renewed, they all find themselves right back where they started.note This was because, when it was cancelled by Comedy Central, it was set up as an actual Grand Finale in mind hadn't the show been picked up by another network, requiring the Hand Wave in the subsquent premier. Likewise, the season 10 finale would eventually end up as this trope as well, as the reboot starts with Clayton's daughter, Kinga, and TV's Son of TV's Frank (AKA Max) restarting the experiment once more and picking up where the original Mads left off. Done once again with the Season 13 finale.

Season 11's ending At the Earth's Core, which gives us Jonah and Kinga's ratings wedding being disrupted by a jealous Max taking some bad advice about asserting his dominance to gain Kinga's affection and seemingly killing Jonah with Reptilicus Metalicus. Leaving Kinga's show on a season ending she's not happy with, the show with no host, and of course the apparent end of Jonah's life.

Big, Thin, Short Trio: Joel/Mike/Jonah are big (compared to the bots, at least), Crow is thin, and Servo is short.

In Manos, Cambot plays a prank on Tom and Crow by purposefully playing a clip form the movie on a loop during a sketch. Crow and Tom are driven to tears. They retaliate in Danger!! Death Ray when Cambot cries after several security cameras were destroyed in the movie while Crow and Servo taunt him for being a baby.

Real After All: A recurring joke was the cast meeting an actual character from the film, such as mole people living in the Satellite's sub-levels, Servo and Crow accidentally summoning Mothra with a fake dance or chatting with Megaweapon about his life after the film.

Jonah is quickly established as being a Gadgeteer Genius in the vein of Joel, but so far it seems he can be easily distracted. His Message in a Bottle apparently severely downplayed his need to be rescued before going completely off script to talk about his childhood issues.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Way back during the first season on KTMA, somebody left a message on the show's official answering machine saying they enjoyed the movies but disliked the bots, calling the show "like being stuck in a movie theater with a bunch of noisy teenagers," which Joel read out and subtly mocked while on the show. The Movie ended with Forrester being teleported out of Deep 13. Crow happily says now they'll never get back to Earth now. It takes them a few seconds to stop celebrating.

Department of Redundancy Department: The interstitials for season 11 remind the viewer that Moon 13 is, indeed, on the Moon. Part of a Running Gag; Kinga is incapable of comprehending that Netflix is not conventional TV, so she assumes that her "station" needs eyecatches just like local stations across the U.S. The latter usually introduce themselves with the station's channel, FCC callsign, and hometown, something along the lines of "KTVK, Channel 3, Phoenix".

Go-Karting with Bowser: Pearl may be trying to drive Mike insane with torturous movies so she can take over the world, but that doesn't mean they can't chill on her porch together and share some YooHoo. The invention exchanges between Joel and Dr. Forrester. During Quest of the Delta Knights, Pearl briefly swaps places with Mike, and when the segment is over, Mike is playing poker with Brain Guy and Professor Bobo.

Canon Immigrant: Emily (Emily Marsh) and her versions of Crow (Kelsey Ann Brady) and Servo (Conor McGiffin) were created specifically for the live road show version of MST3K but were later added to the TV series for the show's 13th season where they would share hosting duties with Jonah and his bots.note Nate Begle was also set to join, as Crow, but was replaced by his roadshow understudy, Brady, for unknown reasons

comment
With Friends Like These...: Joel, Mike and Jonah's relationship with the 'bots. Apparently, Joel created the 'bots with programming that caused them tease/razz him, in order to create companions that would give him hell and keep him sane. When Joel installed protocol modules to make them nicer and easier to deal with, he realized it left him hollow, and promptly removed the modules before the start of the experiment. Considering the experiment that week was Manos, one has to wonder how the "nice" Tom and Crow would've handled it (although Hired! Part II probably wouldn't have been as funny). Crow and Tom are a more straighter example, with their relationship being basically summed up as: "Mock the other. Repeat." When Jonah is seemingly eaten and killed by a giant metal robot Reptilcus the bots decide they'll show their appreciation for Jonah by treating his latest robot creation Growler like they would him. Which includes making fun of him and taking his stuff without asking.

Crystal Clear Picture
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_fdf90642
comment
Crystal Clear Picture: In one of the Master Ninja movies, the villains watching a surveillance screen that looks suspiciously sharper than the rest of the scene. A similar effect appears in the Riding With Death movie. Both movies are made somewhere in The '70s to early 80s. The host segments feature the "Hexfield Viewscreen", a video-phone device that was basically a fancy opening into another room, where actors would stand and converse with the cast. The artifice of this fake screen was further highlighted in an episode where the "image" breaks up with "static" —visibly a scatter of little styrofoam pellets being thrown at the actor from offstage. In one episode, the static is produced by styrofoam pellets being thrown around.

Brick Joke
 Mystery Science Theater 3000 / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: Some very far-reaching ones. For example, Manos: The Hands of Fate (episode 424) ends with Nelson as Torgo delivering a pizza to Forrester and Frank. Upon realizing he forgot the Mads' sodas, he leaves to fetch them — and the next season (episode 508), Torgo finally returns with the sodas (the time between these two episodes? Nine months). An even more far reaching example involves Crow's monster film screenplay Earth vs. Soup, first mentioned in episode 313. In the final Comedy Central season, the screenplay is brought up again when a movie studio finally takes interest in it. Another fourth season example; The Killer Shrews begins with Joel giving the bots "present time", but even though Gypsy and Tom Servo get terrific gifts, Crow T. Robot gets a pair of "dress slacks from JC Penney". Fifteen episodes later, The Day the Earth Froze opens with Joel attempting to get a "family portrait"... At the end of the series, Mike is packing Crow's nice brown pants away as they prepare to leave. In the same scene, Mike is tossing away Crow's wire "mother", which was introduced in Invasion USA. Mike is seen folding a small pair of brown pants during Crow's... guitar solo in The Dead Talk Back. The slacks show up yet again in Bloodlust!, exactly two seasons (48 episodes) later, when Crow wears them to his therapy session with Servo. Crow's sensible brown pants (as well as his Underoos) were going to be used by Mike at the beginning of Radar Secret Service to make a Bed Sheet Ladder to be back to Earth, along with Gypsy's bra and Tom's pantyhose. During 12 to the Moon, when they are moving in with 'Future-Singing-Dancing-Lady', Crow has a large crate of 'Sensible Brown Pants (1 of 3)' In an early season, a child sent in a drawing of Crow labeled 'Art'. This was in reference to a Honeymooners sketch where Crow was billed as "Art Crow". Cut to years later, where Pearl insists on regularly referring to Crow as "Art" without explanation. In Gunslinger, Frank's head gets blasted off by Clay's new invention. In Mitchell, in one of the boxes Mike sorts Frank is amused to find his old head inside, and tells Mike to file it under "Frank's Spare Head". And finally in Laserblast, Pearl finds the same box Mike found it in. Clay suggests they put it in storage. In the season 12 episode Ator, the credits show 'Miles O'Keeffe' and Servo says "Remind me again, how much O'Keeffe is in this movie?", a Call-Back to the first Comedy Central season when Joel and the bots watched the sequel, and Joel asked how much "O'Keeffe" is in the movie. (The answer is "Miles".) Here, Jonah simply tells Servo to hush. One example that crosses over in Mythology Gag with RiffTrax. In Laserblast, Crow and Tom tortured Mike by telling the audience the infamous "Beyond Thunderdome" joke. In an episode of RiffTrax... "Beyond Thunderdome" also comes back to the series proper in Season 11's The Christmas That Almost Wasn't. It was around 20 years between the bots' last televised bit with it and its use in the revival. In Manos, Cambot plays a prank on Tom and Crow by purposefully playing a clip form the movie on a loop during a sketch. Crow and Tom are driven to tears. They retaliate in Danger!! Death Ray when Cambot cries after several security cameras were destroyed in the movie while Crow and Servo taunt him for being a baby. In The Amazing Colossal Man, Joel and the 'bots ponder what questions they could ask Glen Manning, the eponymous Colossal Man. Crow suggests asking Glen if there's any truth to the rumor that Cher had some of her ribs removed. He even gets to ask this question directly to Glen's face when the satellite collides with him. In War of the Colossal Beast, ten episodes later, Joel and the Bots run into Glen again. Crow takes the time to ask him if he found out about "that whole Cher rib thing".

Talking Is a Free Action: Mocked by whenever an egregious example appears, with the riff "Oh, he got away" or "Oh, he's dead now" being uttered because the hero or villain monologued too long. No matter what might be happening during the course of the episode (wormholes, doomsday machines), the host and the Bots would still have the time and the nerve to riff.
