Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S03/E21 Santa Claus Conquers the Martians/YMMV


 * Special Effect Failure: The show has always had charmingly cheap props and effects, but the Invention Exchange's "Wish Squisher" is hilarious. Frank makes no effort to hide that he is turning the boxes over to allow their contents to magically transform. The boxes clearly have two lids as well. But what really takes the cake is the final transformation of a box into a gift certificate; the box is still completely visible as the certificate is taken out. Of course, considering the effects of the movie they are spoofing, this is probably intentional.
