Film watched: The Girl in Lovers' Lane

The MST3K presentation of this movie contains examples of:

• Contemplate Our Navels: Literally — Crow and Tom each drill themselves a bellybutton. Upon getting his, Crow starts contemplating it.
• Continuity Nod: "To live like the E-lam, to be like the E-lam..."
  • Joel and the Bots compare Jesse to Torgo.
• Canon Discontinuity: Crow and Servo, upset at the ending, come up with their own instead, which involves Carrie living, Jack Elam getting abducted by aliens, Danny and Bix taming dinosaurs in a post-apocalyptic world, and a kingdom of pygmies. Frank comes up with his own, which involves Bix as a being of pure energy.
• Fix Fic: The final host segment consists of Joel and the Boys rewriting the ending to remove Carrie's death from the plot.
• My Name Is Not Durwood: Joel and the Bots mishear Bix Dugan's name as "Big Stupid", and keep referring to him as such.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Crow and Servo's alternate ending is just full of this.
• Spoof Aesop: In Crow and Servo's bizarre alternate ending to the movie

Servo: And the moral is "Never love a pygmy!" Crow: Because...they're immortal! Servo: Yeah! Crow: And they can fly! Servo: Mm-hm! Crow: And you can't fly!

• Train Song: "The Train Song" a.k.a. "What a Pleasant Journey"
• With Lyrics: Joel and the Bots make lyrics up for the movie's theme tune. See Crowning Moment of Funny.

Joel: (singing) The Girl In Lovers' Lane... Crow: With Jack Elam, not Jack La-Lanne. (Servo: Not La-La-a-ane...) Joel: And lots of actors, there's no time to name... Crow: A screenplay by Joe Heims that's pretty lame. (Servo: Pretty lame...) Servo: The entire crew, feels a sense of shame. (Crow: Shame.) If only they'd had / half a brain / they could attain / a measure of fame / from a film like Shane! / But no. To their disdain, / The Girl In Lov-ers Lane! Joel: (Makes Rawhide whip crack noise.)
