Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S07/E01 Night of the Blood Beast

Films watched: Once Upon a Honeymoon (short) and Night of the Blood Beast

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Night Of The Blood Beast contains examples of:
""Steve One, you go that way! Steve Two, come with me!"
 * Call Back: One riff references The Beast of Yucca Flats.
 * Last Note Nightmare: Help, the conductor is having a seizure!
 * Mister Seahorse: Averted, much to Crow's distress.
 * Obfuscating Disability: Not "disability" as such, but Crow pretends to get pregnant because he thinks people bend over backwards to give pregnant women whatever they want and he's sick of them getting a free ride.
 * Planet of Steves: "Steve--Steve and I have something to tell you."

"This has 'Steve' written all over it!"


 * offscreen crash is heard* "Steve?"

"Oh, Steve's name is John!""


 * Re Cut: The MST3K version first aired as the grand finale of Comedy Central's traditional Thanksgiving Day marathon ("Turkey Day"), with host segments that tied into the framing sequences shot for the rest of the marathon (featuring Dr. Forrester and Pearl inviting guest characters for Thanksgiving dinner). Future airings had a completely different set of host segments, which still established the changes for the seventh season (i.e. Pearl Forrester moving into Deep 13).
 * Running Gag:
 * The remarks of how Johnny is always "so dead."
 * The blond photographer being unintelligent.
 * The Blood Beast being like a fiance meeting hostile in-laws.
 * The aforementioned Steve jokes.
 * Mike and the 'Bots making parrot noises whenever the Beast is talking.
 * Referring to the alien babies as shrimp ("Get the cocktail sauce...").
 * Shout Out: To Monty Python's Flying Circus: "They mean to win Wimbledon."
