Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E01 Girls Town
Films watched: Girls Town
The host segments for this episode deal with Dr. Forrester hooking up the Satellite of Love to Deep 13 via the Umbilicus, a plot device that ran until the end of the seventh season.
The the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment provides examples of:
- Actually Pretty Good: Even Mike and the 'bots enjoy The Platters singing, and pay the ultimate respect by not riffing hard during their number.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Their version of Stalker with a Crush Serafiina.
- Fate Worse Than Death: Scat singing!
- Get a Load of That Square: You can't avoid it, with all the hep slang.
- Lyrical Dissonance: Mike and the 'Bots adding their own lyrics about Chip's murder to all the 1950s pop/soul/rockabilly songs.
 |
Over the bouncy opening number: "Chip is de-ad, Chip is de-ad..." |
 |
- Nuns Are Funny: Mike and the 'Bots have a lot of fun with this trope, such as the "conversation" between two elderly nuns about how much money they lost on the game last night. "Troy Aikman can go to blazes."
- Running Gag
- GIGANTOR!
- Servo breaking out into scat singing when Mel Tormé is on screen.

"You tell that boy to go home! Right now! Or I'll call the police!"
