Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E07 I Accuse My Parents/YMMV

Crowning Moment of Funny: Quite a few of the jokes about Jimmy winning the essay contest are funny, but this one takes the cake, after Jimmy comes home after being beat up by a couple of mobsters.:

Jimmy: Mom! Dad!
Joel: I won the Get-The-Crap-Kicked-Out-Of-You Contest!

- The series of embellishments Joel and the Bots tack on after Jimmy says he's just doing the shoe boy gig till his dad buys the place.
- Upon Jimmy's impromptu decision to rob a diner: "Uh, c-...can I...can I rob you?"
- "If I had parents, I'd accuse them right now."
- To represent Jimmy's subconscious mind, they bring out an elaborate balancing mobile full of words and ideas spinning around. It's simple, yet sublimely hilarious.
  - "Hey, there's 'stupid.' Really big!"
- When Tom and Crow try to get Joel to give them a hamburger, by pointing a tank at him!
- "Eleanor Roosevelt is pissed!"
- Kitty: "And this is Aunt Harriet." Crow: "'Nuff said."
- (after Jimmy finishes his story to the judge) "Seeing as it's your birthday, you're free to go."
Dude, Not Funny: Joel delivers a blistering one-liner after the judge, who is so moved by Jimmy's story about his non-Abusive Parents and stupid decisions, dismisses all the charges.

Joel: Thank God I'm white.

- Joel and the Bots also tear The Truck Farmer a new one for its unflinching praise of terrible land management and exploited cheap labor.
Freud Was Right: During one host segment, Joel asks Tom, Crow, and Gypsy to draw a picture of the ideal family. Joel psycho-analyzes their pictures and comes up with disorders for each of them.
Fridge Brilliance: Towards the end of Jimmy's long story to the court, Tom casually remarks that "Maybe they should have sworn him in." Considering that Jimmy quickly worked up a reputation as a liar with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast, it makes you wonder if maybe the story itself was a lie.
