Film watched: ''[[
Reportedly the filmmakers weren't too thrilled about getting MSTed until they saw the riffing of the scene where smoke seems to be emanating from Richard's nether regions as he shares a post-coital campfire cuddle with Lena:

=== The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' presentation has examples of: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The MST3k had a lot of fun saying referring to Peter Graves' role as the host of ''Biography''.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Averted: Robert S. Fiveson was leery of the ''[[
* [[Creepy Child]]: The Evil Space Children who cause trouble for Pearl and the gang.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The Evil Space Children, which is played for laughs.
* [[Excited Kids' Show Host]]: Mike Nelson, in one of the skits, wraps himself in silver foil, dances around, and babbles in Spanish. This is in the running for ''[[
** Earlier in the skit, Crow and Servo did this. "Today we learned A and 3! Today we learned A and 3!"
* [[Groin Attack]]: Bobo is on the receiving of this (repeatedly). "Tante Bobo needs to go see Uncle Reconstructive Urologist."
Line 19:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: The Evil Space Children
* [[Running Gag]]: Lots:
** Every time characters in the film mention "America", Mike and the bots sing "Today!" à la the Neil Diamond song.
** The [[Groin Attack]] in the skits.
** Gags about Lena's nose.
** ''Bang'' "Ow." ''Bang'' "Ow!" ''Bang'' "Ow." ''Bang, ricocheting noises'' "'''Ow.'''"
** References to Peter Graves' role as the host of ''Biography''.
** References to Dick Sargent's role as ''[[Trope Namer|the]]'' [[The Other Darrin|Other Darrin]]

** One scientist's resemblance to [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]].

** When Pearl begs Mike to set up an impromptu TV show to entertain the children, he quotes Belloq's opening speech from ''[[
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: To try to put the Space Children down for a bit, Servo composes a beautiful lullaby...set to a bombastic march.
* [[Squick]]: Discussed. Old!Richard's son getting out of the pool and walking his wet, speedoed batch right in front of the waist-high camera didn't do Mike and the Bots any favors.

'''Servo:''' ''Gah, stop it! What've we ever done to you??'' }}
* [[The Talk]]: The Evil Space Children ask The Question, treating us to a montage of the villains' attempts to explain it. Brain Guy's response is a surprisingly poetic exploration of love, before he dismisses the emotion as unnecessary, Pearl begins a rambling, bitter story about her own failed relationships, and Bobo's advice is...questionable, given it deals with apeman mating rituals. "You're gonna get kicked in the face, that's always part of it... grab one leg and hold on tight!"
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Mike and the Bots joke that Clone-Richard sees Original-Richard as his father and is this to him.
