Film watched: Time of the Apes

"Wow, this movie's even stupider than I thought it was."

- Tom Servo, after The Reveal that the deep-freeze chambers warped time by being really cold.

This is one of the nine Sandy Frank films that were satirized twice on the show, once as an episode of the KTMA season and again in the third season of the nationally broadcast version.

The Comedy Channel/Central version has examples of:
"(ground trembles) Servo: Oh, what was in that oatmeal? Joel: Uh, I'd wash that hand if I were you. That's my throwing hand."
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar:

"Joel: C'mon, everybody! Let's do the Sandy Frank Song! All: Sandy Fraaank! Sandy Fraaank! Servo: He's the source of all our paaaiiinn!!"
 * Notable Original Music: The English lyrics added to the opening theme song.

"Joel: "Beware the Balrog.""
 * Public Service Announcement about why Johnny doesn't care.
 * Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny for those old enough to have been subjected to actual Bell Labs shorts in school.
 * Running Gags
 * Jokes about Colonel Sanders ape in a pimp suit.
 * Jokes about ape hygiene.
 * "Silence!" being followed with "Of the lambs!"
 * Shout-Out: To Gamera and Planet of the Apes.
 * Also,


 * Servo: It's Caddyshack. No wait, that's Pepe.

"Johnny, don't go. It's too dangerous." "I don't care!"
