Line 177:
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: No one was happy with the band's post-series TV special ''33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee'', least of all [[NBC]], which buried it opposite the 1969 [[Academy Award|Oscars]]. On top of the hopeless scheduling, the network also managed to broadcast the show's segments out of order. No one noticed or cared, save for the boys themselves (especially Mike Nesmith, who was livid about the screw-up).
* [[Senseless Violins]]: Subverted in "Monkees A La Carte": "Boss! There's a guitar in this guitar case!"
* [[She
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Parodied in "Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers".

Line 203:
** [[Deconstruction|Deconstructed]] and [[Lampshaded]] in the "tag" of "Monkees On the Wheel" (actually two scenes before the actual tag - see [[Hilarious Outtakes]]).
* [[Take That]]: One of the first shots in the series was of the Monkees using a [[Beatles]] poster as a [[Dartboard of Hate]].
** This was probably also a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Help!]]!'', which begins with a similar scene (except that it was a movie screen showing Beatles footage in the latter case).
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]: "Monkee See, Monkee Die" during the reading of the will [[Video Wills|(on phonograph)]]
* [[The Television Talks Back]]: In "The Monkees Get Out More Dirt", the boys are watching an advice presenter on tv who reads a letter relating to them. Davy says, "So we did, what of it?" and the Presenter says, "I'll tell you what of it!".
