Films watched: Is This Love? (short) and Teen-Age Strangler
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Teen Age Strangler contains examples of these tropes:
- Celebrity Resemblance: The guy managing the diner is considered a look-alike of Drew Carey and The Family Circus dad.
- Mikey is also compared to Waldo.
- Notable Original Music: "The Janitor Song."
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Is This Love? contains examples of these tropes:
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Lots, but perhaps most notably when Peggy reclines on the bed and stretches her hands above her head.
Tom: Get the cuffs. |
- Harsher in Hindsight: The riff about Andy's "screams of those who have wronged me" manifesto, several years before Columbine/Virginia Tech.
- Running Gag: Andy as Liz's henpecked fiance. "Look, would you just lay off for ten seconds!!"
- Star Trek: The bots compare Liz's oddly arched eyebrows to those of a Romulan.
"And he didn't steal no bike, neither! I did!"
