Film watched: Eegah

According to The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide (ISBN 0-553-37783-3) the cast considers the shaving scene from Eegah, in which Eegah lolls his tongue around and laps up shaving cream, to be one of the most disgusting things they've witnessed during their time on the show. The writers also speculate that some kind of romantic relationship existed between Arch Hall Sr. and his on-screen daughter Marilyn Manning, due to the uncomfortably non-familial chemistry in their scenes together. Whatever the case, Ms. Manning was working as Hall's secretary at the time.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of:

Fan Disservice: Arch Hall Jr. to the crew.
Hey, It's That Guy!: Richard Kiel is best known as "Jaws" (no relation), the Bond villain from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He also appeared in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 experiment The Human Duplicators.
Missing Mom: Discussed Trope. Joel explains how this trope was used in The Sixties, when divorce was still unacceptable, as a cheap plot device to have "swinging young bachelors" have both active dating lives and adorable kids to dispense "folksy, homespun advice" to.
Running Gag:
- "Hey... check it out! There's an oven in the living room!"

"Fake it." "That's what I've been doing! Now I'm getting sick!"
