Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E22 Overdrawn at the Memory Bank

Film watched: Overdrawn At the Memory Bank

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:
"Peral: "I really do like... pie..."
 * Affectionate Parody: "Public Pearl" is either this or a Take That (or perhaps both) to PBS.
 * Catch Phrase: Crow suddenly declares his is "You know you want me, baby!" to justify a huge T-shirt order. Mike tries to pick one out for himself, and fails.
 * Mike: "We're all out of toner!" "Don't run on my wet floor!" "Secretary please read the minutes, uh..." "Let go of it slappy!"
 * Forced Meme: The sketch was based on the official fan club having problems selling those shirts, because they used the line instead of one of Crow's actual catch phrases.
 * Continuity Nod: "Hey, it's TV's Frank!"
 * One of Pearl's network's shows is "Mike Nelson: Lord Of The Dance" based on the opening host segment of the Jack Frost episode, complete with footage.
 * Everythings Better With Monkeys: Inspired by Daisy the Baboon, the 'bots order a monkey they name Henry Kissinger ("because of his scowl/scalp"). Mike gets to spend the remaining host segments trying to placate the off-screen ape as it hurls objects at him.
 * Everythings Better With Spinning: During the movie, Fingal observes some monkeys cartwheeling down a hill and remarks that it looks like fun. Crow responds "Actually, that does look like fun, Mike. If I could do that, I'd basically never stop."
 * Fantastic Racism: Some of Mike and the bots' riffs suggest that this movie really seems to have something against anteaters.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: Mike groans in anticipation of Servo's "Cube-an" joke.
 * Mike's one to talk; his "Figleaf of my imagination" gag went over just slightly better.
 * Servo lets out a stilted, fake "Ha ha ha that is funny" in response to the movie's very title.
 * Last Second Word Swap: "What was he doing in this piece of ssssurley very quality, quality program"
 * Late to The Punchline: "Oh I get it, 'cause they're wearing hats!"
 * Never Speak Ill of the Dead: According to the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, the crew consciously worked to avoid offending people by insulting the recently late Raul Julia, the only quality actor in the whole film. Even Pearl herself calls him "a very wonderful actor" before asking "what was he doing in this piece of ssssssurely very quality, quality program".
 * Notable Original Music / Silly Love Songs: Pearl and Brain Guy's wonderful duet, "Loving Lovers' Love".
 * "And loving lovers love as loving lovers love..."

Observer: "I know a couple guys, I..."

Peral: "They really do like pie.""


 * Orphean Rescue
 * Shout Out: When Fingal tells his blonde coworker he's bored of sex with her, Crow remarks, "So that's why you kept shouting out William Hurt's name!", a reference to Kiss of the Spider Woman.
 * "Doctor Who...the hell cares?" The line occurs during a shot of a spinning cube, referencing the season-long "Key of Time" story arc.
 * A shot of the rehab facility with NIRVANA visibly written on the floor immediately draws a riff of "Come, as you are, as you were..."
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Crow - "Wanda Cannon? Now that's a porno name if I've ever heard one... not that I've ever heard one. I don't subscribe to lots of publications or anything."
 * Wondrous Ladies Room: Invoked when Fingal opens a door and sudden finds himself in a sumptuous villa's courtyard, to talk to the Chairman's digital avatar. The 'Bots conclude he's in the Ladies' Room.

"Mom...'m I nuts?"
