Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S09/E05 The Deadly Bees
Film watched: The Deadly Bees
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of the following tropes:
- Fan Service: Subverted during the bee attack on Vicki.
Servo: Y'know, if she really wanted to be safe from the bees, she should just strip down and turn on the shower. I'm not saying this out of any prurient interest - it's just good advice. |
- Kick the Dog: Literally in the movie.
Mike: Appeal to your audience. Kill the cute dog. |
- Late to the Party: In the film
Mike: Hello, I'm here for the movie -- am I late? Hello? |
- Mistaken Identity: Intentional - several early riffs involve The Jeffersons, owing to Frank Finlay's strong resemblance to Paul Benedict (who played Mr. Bentley).
- "Previously On...": The first pre-movie segment parodies this trope.
- Punny Name: Take a wild guess what prop diva "Beez" McKeever's nickname becomes in the credits for this episode.
