Film watched: Cheating (short) and Wild World of Batwoman

This episode was released on DVD by Rhino Entertainment.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment of Cheating has examples of:

• Brain Bleach: Mike complains about being forced to consider the Prof's hips.
• Epic Fail: Crow shows how bad John is at doing homework.

Crow: (as Mary, exasperated) John, this is geography!

• Hot for Student:

Narrator: 'Was there a shadow of doubt in Ms. Granby's face as she looked at you?' Crow: 'Or was it lust?'

• Kick the Dog: The riffers seem really upset when Mary gives in and helps John cheat.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Wild World Of Batwoman has examples of:

• Disproportionate Retribution: Cheating is bad.
• Do Not Spoil This Ending: Parodied. When Ratfink is unmasked, Tom Servo quips, "Please do not reveal the secret to The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman."
• Serious Business: All of the host segments were based on the Cheating short (except for a brief reference to the drugged soup scene), featuring overly dramatic responses to Crow plagiarizing Gypsy's essay on the short film.
• Pass the Popcorn: Mike leaves the theater in the opening scene to get snacks, as if he were watching a movie rather than being tortured. The Bots question if this sort of thing is allowed.
• Sanity Slippage and Ending Fatigue: As the movie just drags itself to the end, showing off another pool party with the Bat Girls, Tom just loses it:

Tom: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND!
