Film watched: Touch of Satan

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:

Crow: You can't use Amazing Grace in a devil movie!

Jody: Who are you?
Mike: My name is Margret Rawhide Chew.

  • Brick Joke: Near the beginning, when Jodie first goes to the pond where he meets Melissa, Crow says "Now the credits are going to unspool backwards, right?" Guess what happens in the movie's end credits?
  • Downer Ending: In the film.

Tom: So in the end, Satan wins, I guess?
Mike: Yep, pretty much a shut-out for Satan.

Servo: Is that right? Maybe I should check my dictionotomy.

Servo: Emby Mellay? That's not a name, it's a bad Scrabble hand.

Crow: Why do I suddenly feel hungry for Carnation Ice Cream?

  • Refuge in Audacity: Making fun of the elderly is taken to the same extent in this episode as mocking Joe Don Baker for being fat is in Final Justice.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Servo's killer Grandma.
  • Running Gag: Jokes about Walnuts, pauses and Jodie's Maverick. And rednecks.
  • Shout-Out: When Lucinda kills the police officer, there's a joke about calling Harvey Keitel in to "fix" things.
    • When Melissa talks Jodie into staying at the farm after aforementioned murder:

Melissa: Then stay. Just one more day.
Mike: Oh, you mean STAY!!!
