Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The MST3K version of Invasion USA contains:

  • Ho Yay: Some between the rancher and George the tractor manufacturer when they buddy up to fly to San Francisco. Parodied when everyone wakes up at the bar:

Rancher: (Walking up to George) Hey... didn't we fly up to the west coast together...
Servo: (As George) No! Shh -- we didn't... No, we didn't -- WE DIDN'T!

  • Rooting for the Empire: Mike & the 'Bots are strangely sympathetic to the Enemy's propaganda broadcast after taking over the hero's radio station. Tom even starts humming the Soviet national anthem in an outbreak of Patriotic Fervor (after humming "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the hero's Dead Line News moment.)
    • Hell, Mike and Crow start dancing to the Soviet anthem, such is their fervor.

The MST3K version of A Date with Your Family contains:

Mike:(As Junior) Father, I had a feeling today.
Tom Servo: (As Father) Well, don't, Son.

    • The way Servo delivers this line as the daughter makes it funnier:

Servo: (as Daughter) Dad, I'm dating a Negro!

    • You can tell by the way Mike has said this, he has done it before:

Mike: All right. Spankings all around, then.

Narrator: Do you begin to see now how a date with your family can be a truly special occasion?
Mike: (as Narrator) Do you? DO YOU?
Narrator: And why Brother and Sister looked forward to the evening?
Mike: (as Narrator) WELL, DO YOU? BETTER SAY "YES", DAMMIT!

  • Squick: A reasonable reaction to the narrator explaining that the elder son should "help Mother to her chair like he would his best girl."

Mike: The less said about this, the better.
Servo: Yeah.

    • Also this:

Narrator: The women of this family seem to feel they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
