Film watched: Teenage Caveman with shorts Aquatic Wizards and Catching Trouble
The MST3K treatment of Catching Trouble provides examples of:
- The Bully: Ross is kinda one but Crow carries it a little further.
 |
Crow: Throw him (bear cub) down a few times, Ross! What're you scared of him? C'mon beat him up! |
 |
- Celebrity Resemblance: Crow thinks the Seminole looked like Emo Phillips & does a killer impersonation of said comedian.
- Mama Bear: Sadly doesn't appear but boy do the bots really want to see her enter the fray.
- Rooting for the Empire: The guys root for the wild cat and bear cubs when they try to escape.
- Shout-Out: To Apocalypse Now
- Take That: This short is followed with a host segment entitled "Catching Ross", wherein Joel brutally torments an action figure modeled after Ross while Tom mocks it. Fans complained when the short was put on a collection without "Catching Ross" included.
- The Catching Ross skit is a supreme example of both Crowning Moment of Funny AND Crowning Moment of Awesome!
- Unfortunate Implications: Even behind the very jokes there is a sense of great contempt towards the people who made the short in contrast to the show's usual ribbing, though this wouldn't be the only time (Invasion of the Neptune Men)
